cinema_construct

INACTIVE - This project is pretty much in its final state and likely won't receive any future updates.

This is a cinema version of gm_construct. The map includes two lobbies, and a couple of public and private theaters with some scenery. There is also a navigation mesh, and AI nodes for NPCs.

Partial credit goes to the maker of gm_construct_night (Neubee) for the night-themed light_environment as well as the moon texture.

If you are getting low FPS, change r_drawdetailprops to 0. This disables the grass sprites, which in return should boost FPS.

Please enable HDR, the skybox lighting looks funky when it's off. If there are any errors, such as missing textures, let me know.

• Minor code changes and moon sprite optimization - the map itself has not changed

• Fixed an issue where the theater_door patch would only be skipped on the cinema gamemode, but not derivatives like cinema_modded

• Chair offsets now get applied at the proper time (post gamemode initialization) instead of simply waiting 5 seconds from script run

• Moon sprite .vtf: Uses DXT1 instead of DXT5 since it doesn't have an alpha channel anyway

• Lua code: Minor naming changes, syntax, code organization

January 23, 2020

• Updated lighting
• Updated map icon
• Updated lua locations
• Changed the detail props a little
• Moved placement of some seats, and added lots more seats
• Improved the backrooms theaters, and gave them toggleable lights
• Turned the far tower into a theater
• Fixed the weird flickering on some of the posters
• Added some more posters
• Added some different tree models (ones with leaves)
• Made doors spawn on modes that don't support theater_door, so there aren't black empty spaces in the map

I apologize for not working on this map at all recently - I'll probably make another update to the color room eventually, replacing it with private theaters or something similar.
