YES. This map can be a bit demanding.

I REALLY SUGGEST YOU TO ENABLE MULTICORE RENDERING
Type in your console the following commands:

gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1

Download this map file:

*links are broken - just add me and ask*

YOU MUST SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONTENT PACKS LISTED - THIS MAP MAKES USE OF THEM

Link to all the 5 Content Packs in 1:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1389559723

Other than that; you don't really need anything else.

What if I still have missing models/textures?

Possible fix:

1) Unsub from all the five content packs.

2) In GMOD disable (NOT UNINSTALL) all your addons, this is necessary to make extra sure. There is an option for that, just click on Disable All.

3) Restart GMOD, open the console then type the following command: menu_cleanupgmas

4) Exit GMOD now, Subscribe to the 5 Content Packs again.

5) Load the map and see If everything loads correctly and you can see all of the assets/textures/models.

If so, re-enable all the remaining addons and if you see the problem returns you'll have to find the addon causing it.

Extra Notes & Observations:
-Savegames don't work - they freeze!!! I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

-This map looks better if you set your in-game brightness to 2.6
-Some prop_static foliage models flicker for some unknown reason, Source magic.
-The water in the pools of the bungalows may not refract well depending on the angles, again, Source magic.
-Yep, the ocean water is downgraded and cubemap reflected.
-I really suck with displacements and this is no exception.
-I dont know how GMOD to SFM conversions are made, which is also a reason why Im providing the .vmf files.

Personal note here:

So this map.... I've been making it since past-mid 2021, more than half a year by now... This combines the best bits of my own maps and some of my favorite maps into a single island. Bungalows from gm_bora, Buffet from gm_prado & some apparment rooms and inspiration from Resortmadness all set together in a unique layout as I was putting the map together.

I dont think I will make another tropical themed map, this is most likely (it is) the last one. They take time to make, hard to optimize due Source handling PVS (not much Hint & Skip optimizations can do) and is just a huge labor to do, it became a boring and repetitive task, not to mention these maps after a while they start to look all the same.

I will be moving onto something else in the future, a new thematic.

So that said; I really hope you like the map!

so if it is dead as you say you're free to not play it or download it edit yourself and recompile yourself, im not going to edit the map for one person reporting one issue. i know protocol too.

As always, Its only Map and 0 other addons. Been down this road and know protocol.
It only map that has this issue.
FFox  [author] Mar 6 @ 2:28am 
You have some addons making trouble

I know this map is dead, But anyone know why the Skybox is broken?
The upper sky is Night with stars, but the surrounding part is Day/Dusk.

You've GOT to be kidding me. Of all possible addons, it was the "Friendly Combine and Hostile Rebels" addon that slowed it down?! OMG. Yeah Fox, you were right. Also, make sure people aren't running "Extended Renderer" or either, god forbid BOTH, WILL slow this map down to a crawl.
Lunneth Arc Nov 28, 2024 @ 6:59pm 
Noted; I'll double check things over.
FFox  [author] Nov 28, 2024 @ 4:42pm 
@Lunneth Arc just done testing, max settings my PC is the same since years aswell, my map runs above 70fps all times. See if you dont have any addon which is heavy to pull, and well,

I can try to lower the map ceiling (sky) that will cut visibility a lot, less chunks to render but the player wont be able to fly that high, would clip outside of the map sooner than expected and the skybox would be less noticeable

Doesn't help I have a decade old Laptop. =_= Though before the 11.27 Update, I could run it and enjoy it...even with starfighters in the sky.
FFox  [author] Nov 28, 2024 @ 6:15am 
Havent tried post-update, but lets just say Source just doesnt like open-world maps, you have exceptions like freespace and bigcity but those maps have barely any entities, not even prop and models. Here im pushing it all to the extreme. But i'll take a look.

Keep in mind, the map being a perfect square with visibility from all of its corners to another there isnt much to hide, and source is an engine literally made for rooms and corridors (with the sly being the roof) thats how it calculates visibility In any case, remember I have no problems giving the clean VMF files of this map. Anyone can have it.

This needs HEAVY optimization. With the recent Update, this map slows down to a crawl.
