I remember playing the other lost maps in 2018 and seeing this was amazing. The quality is so much better. Cant wait for part 8

We got Lost Part 7 before GTA VI?!? For real though I oughta thank you for still continuing this series. It takes me back to playing those flatgrass maps when life was alot simpler. Except it was way better than that, like real valve level quality stuff. The underground city set-piece was beautiful and it even ran smooth on my antiquated GTX970 setup. I could keep gawking at it but I'll stop there.

Excited for Part 8, feel free to take another decade-ish if it's gonna be this good

Best Half-Life 2 since Half-Life 2. Excellent work

Been so long I was waiting for that map, I had the time to graduate middle school & highschool while waiting for it

The mad lad actually did it.

this is super good. Like everything you have made is excellent

YASSSSS ive been waiting for the part 7!
it was worth the wait
absoluty impressive!
take your time for the part 8!

@SNW Yeah. The best I could do is wait until I get my hands on owning a more powerful computer before trying again.

@jangwmpt7 Not quite sure what else the problem may be in that case. For one last idea if you hadn't already tried it, I'd say try verifying cache integrity of the game and see what happens afterwards. Sorry.

No way, you still alive? Jesus, i'm glad your finally make new part!

@SNW I tried, still no luck. Also, I never modified the internal files of GMOD.

Have you tried loading the map up from the main menu instead of through a level transition in the previous map for a quick test? I noticed you have some addons of your own in your workshop. Have you by chance modified any files within your root directory that could possibly override the game by default that a normal downloadable addon couldn't do? As for the frame rate, I have a 1660 Super myself, so average/very slightly above average setup. I do get a slight amount of fps drop here and there myself, though it's kept to a minimum as the maps were specifically designed and thoroughly optimized to increase the frame rate as much as possible. These maps were made in HL2 Episode 2 where it runs like butter whereas in Garry'smod, the engine seems to struggle slightly more, probably due to something in its code is my theory. There's not much else I can do on that aspect.

I forgot to mention that I have explosion replacement mod, which replaced default HL2 explosions with MMOD explosions

@SNW I do not use any addons that change NPC's AI or level transitions, although I am using .lua patcher. The only replacement/enhancement content I am using are citizen and Combine soldier model replacements.

Also, I better hope that you have a top-of-the-line computer to run this map on, as it lagged a lot even though I am on a laptop running on Intel i7 and RTX 3060.

The maps have been thoroughly tested by multiple people nor have any other comments so far addressed the strange issues you seem to have. Are you by chance using any addons that can alter npcs' ai, replace/enhance default content, change world brushes, change level transitions, etc?

Other than these issues, there are so many errors I cannot describe. That is even though I mounted HL2 and its episodes.

In the second map, when a citizen opens the door to the elevator, there is still an invisible wall that prevents me from proceeding to the elevator. Even if I( managed to make it to the elevator, I still cannot proceed as it does not go down (no matter which button I am supposed to press). I tried reloading the map again. Not only these issues did not change, but some of the stuff no longer renders properly.

Wow, that is the huge pack.

peak is back

However, the gameplay itself, by my standards, remained classic, compared to previous maps, it looks good.

The level content itself is interesting.

The script moments are also great, especially knocking down doors and walls.

I especially liked the mapping itself on the first 2 maps where the settlement is shown, quite unusual and unique for the hl2 setting, but with something native.

At the moment of leaving the bunker, the fight with the helicopter is boring for me, but it is not worth criticizing this moment, because I myself would not have done this with my experience.

From all of the above, I got the same vibe as 2-3 years ago.
We will wait for the 8th chapter with impatience)

Can't wait for Lost Part 8 in 8 years
