How do you add a map to GMod

[ebrahimhussain662]

I tried to use it on a Forsaken Map I made but it just isn't showing, I exported it on hammer with a VMF but it still isn't showing, can I get some help?

I am unfamilar with "Forsaken", if it is https://www.roblox.com/games/18687417158/Forsaken, the experience does not seem to allow copying? Please ensure you have permission to port a map. I cannot and will not provide support for stolen maps and assets.

Also be aware this tool is designed to port simple maps to aid those familar with roblox studio but not hammer editor with blockout/grayboxing of their maps. Many modern roblox features such as terrain & solid modeling are unsupported. Whilst the tool should not crash or produce invalid VMF files when processing such files, missing geometry or geometry that is too complex for the source engine are likely. Any geometry loaded into the map through scripting rather than stored as models and parts will not be converted either.

I can't put the file as Github from what I tried doesn't support rbxlx files, so heres a google drive link instead.

there are couple meshes there but i have substitute models so it wont worry me much

Problem identified, the ~infinitely-thin walls in that map don't survive the geometry conversion. That is a bug in the tool.

I'll need to check whether I can fix the mathematics to handle this more cleanly, or whether walls need to have their width increased to a minimum. Once a fix is out I'll post another comment & close the discussion.

I made the walls thinner so they survive the geometry conversion.
Trying to run the map on hammer gives me this error "The command failed. Windows reported the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified."", full error: "** Executing...
** Command: Copy File
** Parameters: "C:\Users\admin\Downloads\gm_forsakenpizzeria.bsp" "C:\Users\admin\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\maps\gm_forsakenpizzeria.bsp""
And I also cannot save it as a .bsp, I tried "Save as" but it never shows .bsp

oh and i deleted the baseplate now by the way

As the BSP file doesn't exist, there probably has been a hammer compile error. Check hammer logs.

Some notes for your map in specific:

• You'll need to mark detail objects as func_detail to avoid excessive compile times, simply renaming the roblox model with all the furniture/etc objects appears to be sufficient.
• Some geometry is using 'union' parts, those can't be converted. They appear to be simple "union" combinations, you can separate these in roblox studio and they should be converted fine as normal parts.
• You're using a lot of 'decal' textures, these can't be automatically converted. You'll have to manually apply these again in hammer.
• The baseplate is rather large. While conversion should succeed on default scale, you may wish to shrink or delete the baseplate.
