DESCRIPTION

Hi. This is how I look like at the moment. How I hate source filmmaker. It was last updated in 2014. It's just a hastily assembled software from tf2 and transplanted to the alien swarm engine. Almost everything is broken there, everything is outdated. When I open a 100% working map in Garry's Mod, I see some inadequate bugs and problems that should not exist at all. 😪

Please delete previous builds to avoid problems with outdated models, old models may be considered.

In the end, I just give up. Known bugs that will appear if you open the map in SFM

- Possible color glare at the junction of water on the map and the skybox. They disappear on their own after some time, I do not understand the reason for their appearance. In extreme cases, just turn off AO, this 100% solves the problem.

- Several models of grass clusters do not work, the most interesting thing is that these models were compiled specifically by sfm, because the gmod compiler was broken at that time and could not cope with a large number of polygons.

- Not all models of paths near palm trees have the same lighting, this also manifests itself in Gmod, I spent several hours inventing crutches so that they would look at least like this, it was much worse.

Honestly, I seem to have really overestimated my capabilities and especially the capabilities of the engine. Direct sunlight is the main evil in the Source Engine. Models with them are illuminated completely inadequately, you have to recompile the map dozens of times to find a suitable option.

In general, I spent about half a month collecting palm trees and bushes. The rest of the month, realizing that I didn't have time to do anything, I started building a gym. In the end, realizing that both were unfinished, I combined everything into one whole map + finally made the basis of the island itself, now there is full-fledged sand, water and everything that should be there.

For sfm users, instructions on how to make the garland particle work are in the previous post.
