srp_occult_v1

[Fideera Nab]

One of your users, Frosty, came to me requesting the usage of my map.  I'd just like to say that I have no problems with other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. communities using my map, so I'm posting it here for you all.

Garrysmod.org Download
Due to file size restrictions, I have been forced to upload the map to a different website, and direct www.garrysmod.org downloaders to it.  You can visit the www.garrysmod.org link below, or you can bypass the extra download and just go straight to direct download by following the url below it.

Facepunch Release Thread

Welcome to the Zone, Stalker.  The production of this map began on August 18th, 2010, and was finished on May 10th, 2011.  Officially, this would be my second map.  When I first started this map, it was originally going to be a recreation of the Cordon (which can be seen in Freedom's trading post, and the arcitexture of the UKM watchtowers).  However, it was revealed to me that Jerry was already in the production of said map, and as such, I started work on a custom map: This map.  Originally I began work on this map while playing at TacoNBanana's Stalker Roleplay, but when part of the community split, I was part of it.  We founded Gentleman's Gaming Lounge where map production continued.  I've worked quite hard on this map, and after months of work, I hope you all enjoy it.

I advise watching the video in HD and fullscreen, and/or with your brightness turned up.  Some of the images are a bit dark.

The installation of this map is very simple.  Simply take the folders within the srp_occult_v1 folder, and place them into your C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/<YOUR ACCOUNT NAME>/garrysmod/garrysmod folder.  Be sure to overwrite any files and folders.

Those of you who take part in our Stalker Roleplay server, must be sure to have this content overwrite your megapack content.  The two pieces of content have a conflicting sandbag model, and only mine works on this map.

I saw your post about me on GGL, thank ya for posting this

[darkzerxx]

I want to play it sooo bad Q.Q

[Turkey]

Thank you for doing this Fideera Nab, You gained a lot of respect doing this, Normally people are uptight about their maps being used at other communities, you seem like a great guy,

[darkzerxx]

Thank you for the amazing map, So many amazing rp places I would love to see.

[Comradebritish]

This is an excellent map, you are an expert at what you do. Thanks for being so generous to let our community use it.

[Thanatos]

I don't know if it's just me, but it looks like a Modernized Oblivion. Excellent map, and thank you for giving us permission.

[darkzerxx]

what content do we need?

[Frostee]

what content do we need?

Says under installation, that it all comes in the download

[darkzerxx]

even better!

[Fideera Nab]

Thanks for the nice comments, although I hardly consider myself an expert at mapping.  In fact, I'm far from it.

On content, its got content from a bunch of different games, but if you install the given content properly, you don't need any extra content or games.  All you need is Gmod.

[Comradebritish]

Sweet, makes our lives so much easier.  :D

[darkzerxx]

Full support for uploading on server, been playing it and it is amazing!

[Frostee]

This map is alright, im disappointed that the trees are all ep2, there's a fair amount of stalker trees floating around. I also think that you packed in content which is already freely avaliable which is why the file size is so huge. Ill give this map a try on server 1 for awhile and see how it goes. Thank you for developing and releasing the map freely.

[Predu]

From the picture it looks good, however a there are a few flaws with it. Why is there an antlion cave in it? I mean really. Seconly, some of the buildings don't look very stalker-ish. It's wasn't very known and I doubt it was rich before the accident. Otherwise I would give it a try.

Just played a few minutes ago. Best. Stalker. Map. Ever.
But it is way too dark. And with all the trees, it's almost impossible to see where you're going.

[Chrono]

Excellent map..downloading now

[Silver Knight]

All in all the reception has been fairly good. People like the map although there are alot of things that should be changed to make it better. The lighting is one major thing that needs some work. Needs to be lighter. The water also needs to be made realistic, bright glowing blue isn't exactly stalker like. The forest needs stalker foilage. Buildings need stalker textures instead of hl2\l4d textures. There should also be an alternative way into both sectors of the map as having one way causes issues with factions.

There's my quick 2 cents.

Is there away it can be changed in time?
