Water Mod Map + Model Pack

Description
"Water" aka mermaid mod, is a lesser known 3rd person puzzle/adventure game released in 2011 by the hl2 short stories team. This addon contains the levels from that mod which have been slightly modified to work better with gmod. A few gmod maps actually already use content from water such as Nita's gm_abstraction_extended (an excellent remake of the original zs map). So hopefully this addon can also serve as a resource pack for mappers as well!

Maps Included:
mm_arena01
mm_arena02
mm_arena03
mm_background (small not really a level)
mm_intro


Water was created by the HL2 Short Stories Mod Team:
Tero "Au-heppa" Knuutinen
Daniel "CzechDeath" Tejnicky
Henri "Leon_Kilean" Tervapuro
Dennis "Entru" Yaremov
Colter Wehmeier
Adam "Blacklight" Sklar

You can find out more about water here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/water
and here: http://hlssmod.net

I have nothing to do with the creation of these maps, I am just porting them to gmod to preserve this mod's unique and amazing levels. If anyone part of the short stories team has steam let me know and I can set you as a contributor if you want!

Oh it's not a huge deal to me personally, it's definitely up to you! I'm just grateful they're on GMod at all tbh. I actually think it looks better than the original HL2 version because... there's color. xD It would be fun to have the character Water be a PM, but again, not a huge deal. There's quite a few mermaids on the workshop now (I uploaded one recently with a few BGs).

It is likely possible to do, I tried setting them up for gmod as much as I could but I may look into getting them working a little better in the future

Oh, and I don't know how fair I think it'd be to ask the author to make it so progression can be made without no-clipping, because in the original Half Life 2 mod, you could actually, uhh... turn into water to get past stuff, which I guess is a way of no-clipping? xD Anyway, the map would have to be **heeeavvillyy** edited and tailored to GMod, with added functions, which... would be a lot of work.

Am I the only one who's going to express my love for this map pack? lol It's actually really fun when playing with mermaid PMs. I think this map pack is underrated, and it's actually among my favorites. Very good for role playing and exploration, and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering the secrets.

I only have two criticisms, which may not even be the author's fault.

For the two latter maps, I have to start them up manually from the menu, rather than naturally transitioning levels, due to a bug causing any PMs to basically glitch out and fill the screen with the latter.

The other is there's no way to progress past certain points without no-clipping, unless I'm just missing something. As you can imagine, I did quite a bit of no-clipping. But I don't know if it's possible to fix that without very heavy editing.

Other than those, excellent map pack! I've replayed it... I lost count of how many times. xD Personally, the two issues don't truly ruin the gameplay for me.

Why does the water look like it's on crack?
Shy  [author] Aug 1, 2021 @ 3:36pm
