Timberlands 1 in Garry’s Mod (WIP) Part 2
Continuation of my previous Reddit post:

Progress has been moving at godspeed.
Just three days ago, the terrain mesh was still covered almost entirely in dev textures. Now it uses the original FlatOut 2 lightmap, together with the original dm_ and sdm_ terrain detail, which makes it look surprisingly close to the original game.
My plan is to keep pushing the project further and eventually merge all of the Timberlands tracks into one single Garry’s Mod map.
The map will have three versions: daytime, sunset, and nighttime.
It will also be customizable. For example, you’ll be able to enable a free-roam mode that removes road barriers, roadblocks, and other props that normally restrict access to certain areas.
Performance-wise, things are looking very good so far. The map stays at a stable 256–300 FPS, even in situations where almost the entire map is being rendered at once.
Still a work in progress, but it’s coming together much faster than I expected.
