gmare maps list


                                            tested ALL the maps, here's a rating

                                            sorted and categorized

                                            I feel kinda dumb now

                                            yes I will indent and put spaces because sanity checks

                                            99% of all maps have no requirements, I even forgot which ones require CSS (probably just one or two) and HL1, I think it's going to be fine


                                            UNFIT MAPS:

                                            plain bad maps (these are just not fit, redundant or too large) - I don't even know why I list them, originally I wanted to omit them but if you want to read it go ahead


                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2799790347 162 MB just to have an extremely large space underwater with floors, kinda unreasonable, otherwise, night version is comfy

                                            if I ever learn hammer I would edit out the deep water and add some comfy props

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734885989  1   MB was made for another gamemode anyway, feels plain and boring despite interesting lighting

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2118437356 56  MB feels unfinished

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994969129 11  MB sadly no space to do.. anything, again, feels unfinished, would be very much better if the map had lots office-like/flat interior

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=878761545  150 MB just a giant marsh, even though it's atmospheric it would be way too moody for general use and its heavy space wise

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1668510895 0.5 MB don't know if the map amount affects client load times but its basically redundant if not only for the size for it, not very comfy and too small

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2150654454 46  MB not worth its size but has a borger (not burmger) place

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911484351 127 MB exterior is very pretty but otherwise nothing interesting, has a human npc for some reason, strange clipping outside

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862992162 141 MB sadly mares can't fit through the carriages (see post above), otherwise very accurate and comfy, though it would be just a fancy space to chat around because there's no room

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830910102 347 MB there's an alternative, also feels off

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218629970 100 MB not worth it, not comfy at all

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122581024 227 KB fine for 200kb I guess, but not that comfy as I expected hence no, skybox is too plain

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968889065 75  MB quite cramped, no space to build, but very fancy lighting and scenery

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2668557938 100 MB don't feel like this map, screenshots look fun but the reality is not, it's confusing and the doors are off, todd..

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008902503 100 MB too scenic for general use and has somewhat vomit-inducing colored lighting

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2501718455 220 MB a giant lit city with some interiors, intended for driving, really not sure about this

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=781184182  12  MB wouldnt say night makes any change, weird skybox, map is better in the original

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898381092 100 MB too eerie, zero space to build

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2706384051 186 MB !! we've travelled the road of generations, a quite long looped road, though apparently the screenshots were color corrected so its not as juicy but still good

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3022782998 77  MB somehow worse than the similar snowy coast map, basically just that one hl2 level with the magnet, most of the houses are just solid blocks

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2212446841 33  MB a giant collection of empty industrial themed rooms, maybe fit for something special

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=113646424  2   MB requires CSS, empty, untextured shop counter, has a night version which is nice


                                            ??? ??? ???

                                            about the ones that are already on the server (I did not test them before suggesting, that's bad)


                                            gm_boreas

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1572373847 450 MB A GIANT snow map with lots of places to see, I think it's totally worth it

                                            not sure if worth the megabytes but its already on the server so I guess cool, its far better than gm_fork

                                            gm_fork

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=326332456  65  MB (already on the server, sorry for not testing it, it kinda sucks) just a giant space for driving with little to no interiors, somewhat dull

                                            gm_fork_night (there are two versions, this is the darker one)

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=964282395  46  MB a night version of the previous, somehow feels far better because of complete darkness, more of a driving map

                                            if possible, replace gm_fork with its night version or remove entirely as there are road maps below


                                            SANDBOX MAPS:

                                            sandbox maps as in gm_construct styled


                                            - two gm_novenkas

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2049617805 70  MB

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3133396015 90  MB

                                            not sure which is better, they're both pretty good but the night version kinda sweetens the deal of giant empty spaces (the map has lots of space with different areas)


                                            - night 7/11

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=145793553  20  MB

                                            only 20 MB, has a railroad, simply looks good


                                            - polaris space center thingy

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118515848 24  MB

                                            has even more empty space and facilities to build any kind of vehicle (even a very deep rocket bay), only 24MB, cozy building in the center


                                            - portal 2 underground level sandbox

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2135576045 70  MB for some reason works without portal content, basically portal 2 underground level but sandbox, lots of space


                                            total for NEW sandbox maps: around 270 (180 with only one night novenka) MB


                                            SMALL COMFY MAPS:

                                            most of these are probably hl2 styled (or use the resources) because custom textures and models take up space

                                            numbered for help


                                            1. pre war hl2 train station

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2300562868 42  MB top comfy train station !ONLY FOR 42.99MB!

                                            im beginning to feel like a telemarketer for some reason


                                            2. apartment complex, hl2 styled too

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2872448130 72  MB just a general moody place to hang out, quite comfy efficient

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2962938835 10  MB small antarctic base, comfy

                                            4. smog city

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2760823156 28  MB very good for 28 MB, though most of the space is just empty, otherwise cozy


                                            5. urban hell

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2591145493 20  MB very moody and atmospheric


                                            three(four) racing/road maps


                                            6. long forest day/night road

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1920035706 31  MB a bit dull, this is a REALLY long looped road set amidst a forest, fit for racists and racing

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1952731595 31  MB previous map but night, perfect for pooomping while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn7uMwXYU9U (was instantly reminded of this song)

                                            both are good probably


                                            7. another night road

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2548650126 96  MB night racetrack for 96MB from the same author, probably redundant


                                            8. basically just a fancy space for pooomping

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3110060467 90  MB scenery, ambiance and sounds, a road


                                            9. us/mexico border

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=897081595  20  MB US/mexico border patrol, sadly not equestrian, map itself is pretty good but has some weird doors in the office interior


                                            10. sea towers

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3025735684 117 MB looks very interesting, but its 117 MB and has no night version which would be kino


                                            11. concrete hell bunker

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974682769 80  MB a quite detailed underground nuclear facility, has a nice round conference room (would play it only for that room but need mares in there)


                                            12. generic but fancy small semi industrial area

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3165609019 29  MB kinda like autism town but more dark and industrial, good for sandbox autism (not a town though)


                                            13. dashcon map

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=287275936  4   MB quite a small map you won't get lost in, if we were doing a gmarecon this would be perfect (maybe edit, if edited a bit in hammer even better), has a big room with a stage and a second large room


                                            total for NEW small comfy maps: around 700 MB


                                            below this line are the ones I don't very much like but they're not in the bad category, they're neutral but the maps above are better

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1854290566 12  MB a gas station in a middle of nowhere (it's a desert), map boundaries are actually quite small despite the visuals

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1449721682 17  MB just a big dark (kinda) forest with an illuminated area in the middle

                                            https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2971416638 23  MB like cs office but darker unsure about this one, there's a lot of wasted space because of the roads in the sides which lead to nowhere (kinda like that autism town part, people rarely ever go there)
