The Road To Nowhere [EXPANDED]

Description
Welcome to Black Moor, West Harkshire
The UK is going through a significant cost of living crisis that is making it difficult to afford to eat, let alone afford electric or the essentials. If you're feeling generous, please consider donating some money towards keeping up with my projects for the community. ANY amount is appreciated, and will go directly to pay off essential bills. Thank you <3

IMPORTANT
For a quick fix on lag with little gameplay change, type the following into the console without quotes:
“ent_remove_all env_lightglow”. The performance issues are due to the cats eyes and I’m working on an alternative.


Synopsis
Your car has broken down on a muggy, rainy summer night. Some questions spring to mind though...
  • Why DID the car break down?
  • Why have the police closed the roads in and out of the village?
  • Where has everyone GONE?



Features
This project has taken me around 7 months from conception, through prototyping to final release. There is a DIRE shortage of UK and British maps in the workshop. My previous UK projects have proved popular, so if you're a fan of that vibe, this will be perfect for you.
In this BIG map, you can expect to find:
  • A highly detailed quintessential Yorkshire style village
  • An accurate UK road network complete with authentic signs, cat's eyes & potholes
  • The moors in all their desolate, barren beauty
  • An accurate, to-scale recreation of the M62 over Saddleworth Moor
  • Highly informative hiking trail signs
  • Those stunning sodium night lights
  • True-to-life UK sounds
  • A feeling of dread that only the Yorkshire Moors at night can provide
  • Open skybox
  • Plenty of custom assets and textures available for use with credit
  • Perhaps something more?
This is an original creation inspired directly by the areas I grew up in. All details have been meticulously recreated as close as possible to reality, and as much as the Source Engine allows.

Please note, the map requires a decent computer to run. The complexity and size means optimisation has been done to the best of its ability, but FPS drops could still occur on some machines.

  • Further optimisation

FAQs
Q: Why do I spawn with no weapons?
A: It is the intended way as it is an atmospheric map. Weapons can be spawned in the usual way if you wish to.
Q: The FPS is low. How do I fix?
A: Further optimisation is in progress. In the meantime try disabling some addons.
