INTERNAL NAME: GM_L4D_ROE

This is a port of the L4D survival map called Running on Empty. The map was made by Dreyzie for the Left 4 Dead 2 workshop, and I thank him for allowing me to port his work to Garry's Mod. Why don't you check out his Workshop and leave a like if you enjoy this port?

Running on Empty is a relatively small (yet quite dense) survival map centered around a roadside gas station in a forest in Pennsylvania, in the Left 4 Dead (1) style. The gas station, which contains the store and a garage, is accessible, and so is the roof where the survivors have prepared to camp. Across the road, a patch of forest can be walked in until you get to the shore, a large (and deadly) river on which you can see a large bridge in the distance. Around the gas station is a small industrial complex with an explorable warehouse and some storage rooms. You can also see some suburban houses in the distance.

I've adapted the map to GMod, which means the following:

- Properly converted, fixed and improved all visual aspects - Added physical props of the L4D2 guns and medkits, where they are in L4D2 - Added access to a few previously inaccessible areas

Features:

- HDR and LDR compatible - Working soundscapes for a great sound atmosphere, identical to L4D, all sounds included (for real this time) - Navigation mesh included - Fully and correctly AI noded - Color correction included (use mat_colorcorrection 0 in console to turn off) - Working cubemaps - Tree sway technique for the trees and vegetation - Correct detail vegetation - Improved shadows and lighting all over the map - Full particles converted and working, identically to L4D2 (thanks to SPARC, the particle converter!) - Destructible doors - Fully optimized (I think...)
