Description
A laboratory located in the high mountains

Features:
  • A whole small complex consisting of 3 departments (residential department, technical department and laboratory department), where each room has its own meaning (plan in one of the last screenshots)
  • In addition to the complex, there is a surface (mountains) that can be reached through the entrance to the complex
  • A small puzzle location that can be reached through a teleport
  • Availability of ventilation in the complex, which you can climb into
  • Availability of an alarm system in the complex, can be turned on in the security room
  • Availability of camera system, can be enabled in the data storage
  • There are entities with which the player can interact
  • Working teleport and mini-teleport (how to launch a teleport is described below)
  • Lots of physical objects that can be moved and/or broken
  • A small lore of this laboratory (in notes and more)
  • Custom textures
  • Up to 6 different (3 inside, 2 outside and 1 secret) soundscapes
  • AI Nodes and Navmesh (are they even needed here?)

How to make the teleport work:
1. Repair the electrical transformer (for this you need a metal part, it is in the additional storage, in open crate)
2.In the small corridor between the laboratory and the teleportation room you have to turn the valve on the panel
3.Turn on the teleport panel by inserting the plug into the socket, which is located next to the teleport
4.Turn the two levers in the control room (the place next to the teleporter where you go through the stairs)
5.Press something on the panel in the control room
6.Enable teleport through the teleport panel (the teleport will start working immediately after the doors close)
If you don't know where storage or transformer, look at the laboratory plan on the wall or on one of the latest screenshots

DOES NOT require any content
If you have broken (pink) reflections, type mat_specular 0 or buildcubemaps into the console.
There may also be mistakes or non-standard words on the plans and notes, as obviously my English isn't perfect.
If your game crashes when loading a map, it is most likely due to your game settings.
Try not using autoexec and/or reset game settings.

The management of Blue Mountain Laboratories kindly asks you not to break internal systems and devices, as this may lead to the death of laboratory personnel!

Many objects and ideas were taken from gm_retreat, Kalishna Bunker and gm_abyssalplain. So you may notice the similarities between this map and these ones.

It crashes my game. Is my laptop too weak to run this map?
Hank Newman 14 Sep @ 8:16am 
understandable. Thank you for the information, the lore is pretty good

yep, wall of text

I really took this sphere from gm_boreas and gave it my own meaning.
Since this lab is connected to that AU with a concrete city and a concrete sky above it, a concrete sphere appeared next to the lab due to frequent teleportations, directly connected to that AU.
Just a regular anomaly.
I should have explained this lore through maps (what was, is and will be), but let it be in the comments for those who don't like studying other people's maps.

About the lore.
"Blue Mountain Lab. is a subsidiary scientific corporation of Black Mesa.
It studies AU - parts of the real world artificially changed by the infosphere.
A piece of the real world is taken, a part of its infosphere is changed and this piece of the world disappears from the real world forever, leaving an empty field in its previous place, sometimes small anomalies are formed in these places.
The AU themselves are also full of anomalies, mainly logical ones, such as: moved buildings, distortion of light, etc."
The name AU is wrong in relation to those worlds, since they are not a reality where everything went a different way.
But this name was the first and was fixed in the terminology, just like in the real world with Indians and North America.

I don't like large maps precisely because of the stretching of the logic of certain zones or the complete chaos regarding the presence of a particular building in this or that place.
gm_boreas is a good and large map, but because of its large size (both externally and internally) the comfort of the map completely disappears, you are simply at a loss where to go and why you are here.
Even in small buildings there can be a dozen rooms that are not very different from other similar rooms, and it may also turn out that for some reason some room is closed and completely inaccessible to the player.
Because of this, the player's construction and memorization of the plan of this building is disrupted, the comfort of presence disappears and only difficulty in orientation comes.

The cramped lab and the small number of rooms are explained by the meaning of each room.
As you can see from the plan, each room has its own meaning and performs its own function.
Even the only storage in the lab is divided into 3 sections with their own meaning.

Since the lab in which the player is located is quite small and insignificant, the presence of a second storage and a testing room is simply unnecessary and illogical.
Besides, this lab is really small, but is it so bad?
This is a small and cozy lab, where you know where each room is and what it's for.

@Hank Newman There is nothing wrong with that, i use Google Translate to translate large texts, occasionally correcting mistakes and only adding abbreviations.
Hank Newman 14 Sep @ 7:07am 
sorry for bad english
Hank Newman 14 Sep @ 7:07am 
although if its not asking for too much, what is the sphere they found? But either way, I love to play on this map, since it kinda reminds me of gm_boreas, as its a snow laboratory with a sphere inside it. like a mini boreas
