Map crashed my pc :(

i love stuff like is i just hate maps that rmoved your abilities of sanbox which does not make it sandbox but this map is good because it deos not do that like with town with people i hope you make a remastered and bigegr version fo this soon adn please do not take away our abilities of spawning weapons and more like how npc town did

It also works fine with VJ installed.

Opencity 2 has a much better system, complete with individual criminals and he's released the vmf:

I'd suggest grabbing a copy it and checking how he did it.

Having a guess some of the combine (Such as the ones dropped by helicopter) haven't had their relationship status set.

Some of the Combine are supposed to attack Citizen on sight. But by default they shouldn't be able to see them from their spawnposition. But why is this Map behaving so weird for alot of different Players? There has to be a reason.

Disabled all Mods and tried and the combine this time attacks the Citizen

Then I don't really know If I can help you. In Multiplayer this is quite buggy, as if one player aggroed the NPC's they will attack every Player.

combine attack i disabled all addons

"facepalm" alright...

I suggest disabling every addon and trying it again. It work's fine on my end.

there is none of those "exept vj" but i disabled it and they still attack

It says it in the description. In case of the Combine attacking, most likely this is caused by an Addon overwriting the default AI Friendship system or just edit AI in general. So Addons like VJ Base, Improved Stealth, iNPCs etc. will break the intended way to play this map. Try it out, if it works without addons and if it works then (which it should) find the conflicting Addon and disable it while playing on the map.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE COMBINE NOT ATTACK?????

ok

It requires Gmod tp play. That's it.

does this map require any game?

do you know a map that is like this but its a desert and there is like 3 to 4 buildings there?

why do the combine attack?

e

I actually can't, as I don't have the Mapfile on the maps latest version(vmf). That's why I couldn't update the map even if I wanted to.
But as alternative you could delete the NPC's manually and then use the "Save" function that excists in G'mod. I hope it's not to much trouble and I'm sorry..

@Nikey YO, I really like the map and the concept, But i really want to use the map without the npc's. Is there a way you can make another map, (The exact same as this, just without the NPC's) please?

True

gm_npctown more like gm_beattheshitoutofnpcs

Im not sure

likely a half life 2 themed map? or wasnt it?

i remember a map that you spawned in a house and a metrocop knocks on your door anyone know that map?

Are there any more maps like this one on the workshop?

I rarely can see any NPC maps in Garry's Mod, and when i find new ones - that makes me extremely happy. Thank you for creating this map. I love how trippy is it

The button behind the drawer spawns in Roxxane Wolf for some reason...

The secret with G-man can be triggered by pressing E on the Clock at the mentioned trainstation. There is a T sticker on that clock which has an invisible button on it. It can only be triggered once or multiple times, if you reset the map.

Theres some hidden secret in one of the train station things in the far corner next to the train tunnel where it spawns gman, he says something then kills everyone. can someone explain how i triggered this

more more MORE

The big problem, however, is that info_node_link (as well as node linking in general) is broken in latest Garry's Mod version as reported here [github.com]. The issue seems to be in the compilers specifically (I bet VBSP), so you could try using Half-Life 2 or Source SDK compilers to compile the map and see if node connections work.

[2/2]

Regarding hint nodes: I suggest looking at AI Metrics page. It lists the maximum jump-up distance, maximum drop distance and maximum horizontal jump distance for NPCs. Then, I believe there were 'npc_select' and 'npc_go' commands that help with testing navigation.

info_node_link can be also useful in certain situations. Theoretically it could be used to make NPCs walk into elevators or trains (and then walk out). You can see example of that in my gm_chase_pt1 map, which is part of my Map Pack. I believe you can download the VMF and see how it's done.

add headcrab as a pet immediatly

It's nice to see you commenting here. Getting feedback from a fellow mapper is worth gold.

-I don't know how much performance projected textures actually use, maybe more than I thought.

-Yeah I noticed the amped up HP is a bit overkill. I wanted to scale it based on [TFA] Weapons, which was a bad Idea after all (and alot of work). The Damage though seemed fine. Lack of cover surely is true. I thought about implementing Barricades and more, but then thought they would ruin the look of the map. Not only that, I've used almost no info_node_hint since I found them confusing to work with. The Overwride Jump Permission hint felt like it worked at random and was really a struggle to get working. I need to experiment more with those.

Cheers mate

Interesting map. I like how you conveyed the exhibit feeling at the general store, and how the hospital has centrifuge-like things. The performance (FPS) isn't that great, maybe partly because you (ab)used projected textures. I don't know for sure, I haven't profiled it.

I wouldn't say NPCs with more health is a good thing. I did experiment with lowering player health on my maps to make it more challenging. I would say it was a failure, just made it more annoying to play. On top of that, there isn't much cover, especially on the surface. So combat doesn't feel like shooting something to death, it feels like clicking and holding left mouse button while tracking a thing for 2-4 seconds.

I did like some secrets I found and enjoying exploring the map in general. I'm looking forward to what you come up with in the future.

The button behind the drawer spawns an NPC. An Addon NPC, which if you don't have the addon, won't spawn. It was a test to see if you can spawn NPC's from addons. But instead of removing it, I thought I could leave it there. It spawns down below where the Combines soldiers are chilling. If you want to find out which addon it is, look in the dev console for a red text.

what does the button that's hidden in the shelf (at spawn) do? i press it and it does absolutely nothing

I'm not sure why, but the map loads super slow. Not able to move around without it stuttering in frames.

oh I guess I could have put that in the suggestions lol, I'll do that actually.

any chance you might make another map like this? maybe a bigger one? it doesn't have to have any buttons or anything like that or special events, but tbh, having a map with prespawned NPC's, doing their own things, just...like that, without it being a mod that has tons of conflicts (*coughcough* background NPCs *cough*) and lags just for existing, would be nice, doesn't need to be TOO much bigger, in fact, the size of this map?

it'd be great, if it was a bit more city like, filled out a bit, maybe instead of roads, its alleys and a street or two, buildings are taller, so maybe some apartments..

just would be kinda cool if you planned on making any similar maps. like a sort of night time alley way next to a street or two, with apartments, a store, maybe a police station for the combine(a combine-ified version maybe lol) thats a bit more packed and less open as this one, but still quite a bit to look at and do, but not TOO cramped.

are there any maps like this with pre spawned npcs?

make more of these type of maps

iIt changes the lighting and sky. Or easier said, one is for Daytime and the other for Nighttime.

what the button behind the woman in the bed in the spawn do?

love this map, but would like if it was larger.

Tbf even on my pc, which is far from potato, it runs badly. This could be from how many addons I have installed but still

@striker
- Poor optimization. (Yeah don't run this map on a potato PC. I did my best trust me)
description tells you its probably not gonna be too good on a lot of PC's. if anything, hopefully you find a way to make it play better.
