Mini island [Gmod | SFM]

An unexpected release of a small map, it caught my eye quite often and I was able to find its source and ported it as much as I could. I had to abandon tidal waves, because... in SFM they didn't work at all and caused a bunch of rendering errors.

The map is suitable for garry's mod and source filmmaker, but for sfm do not forget to copy the water fixes from the sfmfixes folder. By the way, not everything is good with the water, I had to make a lot of edits that reduce the beauty of the water + a different color of the fog, which is why the water became quite pale; in sfm the fog in the water glows very strongly for some reason.

I still have no idea what I will do next, but obviously there will be something else, maybe a release, maybe a beta version, if I don’t have time...

DOWNLOAD (you need to login with your patreon account to confirm your subscription)

UPD1: I forgot to put one texture for working water on the island (for sfm). Please download the archive again.

UPD2: two more variations of water for SFM, one of them is AO compatible, but looks terrible (archive attached to post _water.7z)

UDP3: OK. As Silkworm told me, the problem with "rainbow" water in skybox (for sfm) can be fixed. I added one more file - skybox_fix.7z Copy the contents and replace the files. Now the water will work fine with AO enabled. (no longer relevant)

UPD4: I made some imitation of shadows under the canopies; previously, any models under them remained brightly lit as in an open space. Added the skybox texture fix directly to the archive. I removed envmap from the sand (left over from trying to make raw sand). the archive on ich.io has been updated, the link remains the same

YES! That works! Thank you so much! And yeah, it's ok if it doesn't have the animated highlights, most of the posing I'll be doing is on the land, anyway!

https://puu.sh/Kdbla/cf4a02c39e.7z In general, try replacing this vmt, there will no longer be animated highlights underwater, but I hope at least the sand will work.

MARK2580

I just tried it and it's still not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong LOL Also, forgot to mention this before, but there's other spots where the texture is missing- https://files.catbox.moe/lxoib3.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/tdaikw.jpg

I initially make maps in Garry's mod, then port them to SFM. This texture is in the archive, it works for me and others I gave it to check confirmed that it works. I can't even guess why it doesn't work for you and why the lighting is so bright, as if the "tonemap controller" is not active. here is the texture packed in a regular zip via the windows interface https://mega.nz/file/ldgTFQ6R#y4MxIt9s5rtutvdkmZ0pH1jJxEgkMWw4nkZ0bmetYl0

Sorry for the late response, but yes, there's an error in the console that says, Error reading texture header "materials/mark2580/miniisland/beachsand_d_caustic.vtf"

GiantKrill

Hi Mark. I was looking into this error and think it was caused by the Skybox VMTs, at least in part. Changing them all to match this pattern fixes the horizon for me and Marshmallow-Pone. If you've got the facility to make HDR counterparts to the skybox that might improve things further as compatibility goes. "sky" { "$hdrbasetexture" "skybox/day_clouds_onebk" "$basetexture" "skybox/day_clouds_onebk" "$nofog" "0" "$ignorez" "1" }

Silkworm

sfm has very serious problems with water shaders, mirrors and refract.

MARK2580

Ah, yes turning off AO does fix it. Shame the AO is causing it, I may have to cover it up with props and such. Nice map overall :)

Marshmallow-Pone

You turned off AO??? It is he who breaks the water that is in the skybox. I can't influence it.

MARK2580

Hey there, thanks for responding, I have downloaded the water archive, but that didn't fix the issue unfortunately.

Marshmallow-Pone

Very strange. Here's my screenshot. I launched the map as it is from the archive. Maybe there are at least some errors in the console??? https://i.imgur.com/XKvVl1k.jpeg

MARK2580

This is the way the lighting looked, and this is in Gmod.

GiantKrill

Strange. Firstly, why is the lighting so bright? Secondly, the required texture is in the archive. Is it gmod or sfm?

MARK2580

Thanks for the fix on the island map! The sun issue was, for the most part, something that could be ignored, which is probably the reason why no one brought it up. I decided to bring it up because I was using the map recently and it started to really bother me. As for the issue with this map, here's a screenshot I took- https://files.catbox.moe/lcgzfj.jpg

For personal purposes, do what you want, to be honest, it doesn’t matter to me what happens to my maps in the workshop, except perhaps for the card with the yacht, which as many as 3 people have been tinkering with for two years.

MARK2580

Okay, after 2 years you can download the fix, it’s strange that no one else has written about it. I don’t understand about the texture around the island, can I at least have a screenshot?

MARK2580

disable AO, this is an sfm bug that no one will ever fix, or use the worst water from the archive which is attached to the post

MARK2580

There's some odd texture errors in the water and some weird colors in the far back of the map. Update, water is fixed, but the background from the outer map area is glitching with colors whenever the camera moves

Marshmallow-Pone

well am i allowed to edit the gmod one for personal use? i.e simply just dlting things like chairs and desks that are static? not share or anything like that. simply just editing it for myself.

Lonewolf45622

Well thats an oof.

Lonewolf45622

Having an error, the sand right under the water around the island has a missing texture. On a related note, on your DOA6 island map, there's a big missing texture square that flickers whenever I look up at the sun.

GiantKrill

I have done a survey more than once, and no one supported the idea of ​​making different versions of office interiors... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
