RP_PonyTowns_Final (BUGGY)

Description
Hey guys, sorry about the long wait for the map, but, I'm sorry to say that the reason for the crashing and the lagging is on my part. Somehow, durring the final compile of the map, a visleaf crashed, making the rendering screw up. This could be due to the offset shapes and buildings on angles not being 100% on-grid, as well as the lack of dividers that I usually have in my maps, (And will from now on continue to have reguarding RP...)

I sinserly Apologise for this issue. Trust me, I am deeply upsetted and baffled that I let such a simple issue take place... ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~; ;~;



BUT!

RP_PonyTowns WILL return! Now, it will not be in the traditional Ponyville format, the openness of it will be more that of RP_Downtown... So, I will try re-making the map file in this format. I hope that you guys can understand my frustration, and apologies. Sorry this turned out so badly...

That's why my second comment was kinda-sorta asking if the map was still working for anyone, since a small minority were able to load it at some point. If anyone can still get it to load, it might be possible to extract the gma (this doesn't seem to work with the current version on the Steam erver though as the file ends both earlier and later than expected and the actual bsp data appears to be absent) and attempt to decompile the map and see what happens. That's more or less what I was trying to do myself, but the gma itself is corrupt, so extraction is impossible.

I do apologize for this issue, trust me it was a huge let down since it was my first attempt at uploading a file with custom textures and more complex structures. I've made others maps that did work out thankfully, such as RP_Evening_City, but it has been years since I've been in the editor. I wish I could be more help with this, but to this day I still do not understand the SOURCE engine, nor it's complexities. I don't know if I'll ever return to this map, or even attempt to make Gmod maps again, as I'm currently doing stuff with Unity and VRChat.

I appreciate you going into further details and trying to solve this issue that has existed for years now, but unless you can restore the lost data files, and then get the map to load and make sense of the Console, I'm afraid it's a lost cause.

Hello! It's Prince. It's been a good few years since I've made this map, and it was my first big delve into complex structures and custom textures. I made this map on a very old and poorly performing PC, and I had lots of trouble getting the map files to upload.
When I made this map I didn't know all the intricacies of the map files themselves, such as GMA folders and such. Due to this, the map was uploaded improperly, and files were lost. The original file is no longer available, as the PC is no longer available. I have not touched Hammer Editor in maybe 3 years now, so I will be of little help for this issue...

The map's no longer being worked on. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If anyone who is able to get the map to work can get into contact with me...

Update on the bug: I decided to do a bit of investigation for no apparent reason. It seems the Workshop Downloader is running into an EOF bug with this, so it seems that those who can't run it are getting a corrupt file. This can further be confirmed by opening the gma in Notepad, the structures displayed here are complete gibberish, while a proper gma will display some actually readable content. It seems the entire readable portions of the file (that contains stuff like file paths, info_player_start, and the description) was lost somehow.

In the unlikely event you still have the vmf file, I could do some further investigation on the compilation process. Like does the map still compile if you skip VVIS?

(Regarding the top part of the description, Source wasn't designed for open maps, but for corridor shooters)

Nope. This map has currently been discontinued as to other users that cannot load the map on the game. If that is happening to you, please use the map below. Again, this map will no longer be up to date but will be usable to those that can run it.

Does this map have AI nodes?

This map is discontinued.
