Description
Another map based on film photos I've taken over the past few years, this one specifically night-time photography!

CHANGES:
Actually packed the damn club music come on VIDE why you gotta do me dirty like that?
Added ep2/ep1 content so now everything is packed! This should solve the vast majority of missing textures and models now.
Packed ambient sounds better, there were a few missing

(NEARLY) ALL MUSIC FROM THIS MAP AVAILABLE HERE! https://soundcloud.com/quantumdylan/sets/gm_afterhours-ost

gm_afterhours is an exploration map with a handful of areas and secrets, similar to the previous map I made "Places from Film." I've learned a little bit more about mapping for this one, so it's got a proper navmesh built in. Though bear in mind that doesn't do much good when there's teleports involved unfortunately, and let me tell you there's quite a few teleports. Best experienced on foot!

WARNING! Intense flashing lights do briefly appear during a particular spooky sequence, the locked door in the bus station will open after trying the handle and walking away. Entering that door is what triggers the flashing lights!

Map features:
  • Packed assets for everything!!!
  • Custom textures and sounds
  • Proper club bangers (all sounds are contentID safe, cause I made them lol)
  • Dev room includes option to disable all fog and fog setting triggers
  • Photography gallery!
  • An impending since of dread
  • Cozy vibes
  • Random spawns (if you don't like where you start, just reload the map!)
  • More maze-like non-euclidean junk
  • A particular motel
  • Lack of dead-ends (there's only two that I can think of right now, all other areas connect in some way)
  • Film photography-inspired minigame
  • Working vending machines (just don't hit em)
  • Rainy vibes
  • Hopefully the soundscapes aren't scuffed as hell and are properly packed this time

One last note, there are several areas that utilize fairly heavy-handed black fog to mask teleporting effects, if you're ever stuck or lost I recommend either reloading the map to get a new spawn or use fog_enable 0 and fog_override 1. Remember to turn off the override when you get somewhere a little brighter!

If you have any issues with the map, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try and do some debugging/fixing later this evening! I think though after some pretty rigorous testing this should be a pretty smooth exploration experience for everyone. When in doubt, if you're having texture errors, try mounting CSS, L4D2, and Portal.

Huge appreciation to everyone that tried out my previous map, it's so much fun making funky little maps for people to wander around in. I hope you enjoy this one as much as the last! I'll probably try and actually make a somewhat smaller map this next time, I keep letting these things grow a little bit too much lol

Really love this map. I love non-euclidian maps like these and overall night feeling. This is why I love night more than day imo. I hope one day I'll beable to do urban exploration around the world! 11/10 map and definitely would recommend to others!
A really cool map. I spent two relaxing hours playing it, listening to music and quietly wandering its nooks and crannies. I'd watched a video of it last year, and it still felt like a new experience. A truly soulful experience

@Chemgota ❤️ thanks so much for checking it out! And I am doing well all things considered, much appreciated, I've been working on a new map that I'm hoping won't take too long hahaha

@Police grill thank you kindly for the heads up! Yeah unfortunately add-ons of all sorts can be a mixed bag for optimization, and it can be even harder to pinpoint the thing(s) that are making source engine freak out

Found one cause for low FPS - outdated addons, in my case it was the "water system" addon. I was getting about 7 to 16 FPS when looking in certain directions or being near something (maybe related to rain particles), disabled it and now I'm getting FPS in the hundreds on average. So while GMod still sometimes gets engine updates, some addons don't reflect that and they fall behind which makes them prone to cause issues on modern maps. Just thought I'd throw this out there, because this map deserves being played at a good framerate.
