--Changes from V1--

-Removed ambient soundscape
-Made the grass sprites smaller and less dense
-New custom textures
-New cave system with water running through it
(will push physics objects down with it if they have buoyancy, for example: barrels, wood boxes, ragdolls, etc...)
-Fog and light changes to tweak the atmosphere of the map
-Reduced texture size from 4096x4096 to 2048x2048 in order for the map to be small enough to upload to the workshop. This also helped the performance.

--Features--
-2048x2048 custom made rock and grass textures
-Cubemaps
-AI nodes to guide NPCs
-Large open areas

-- Tips --

To increase the render distance for the grass sprites, type "cl_detaildist *number*" in the console.
Here are some recommended values:

Low - cl_detaildist 1200 (Default)
Meduium - cl_detaildist 2400
High - cl_detaildist 4800
Off - cl_detaildist 0

Turning the grass sprites off can help you get a better framerate.

Sun Rays can be toggled on in the Post Process tab under Shaders.

--Troubleshooting FAQ--

Q: Help my game freezes when I spawn into the map with a message on the screen saying "Node graph out of date Rebuilding"

A: This is normal, the game will freeze while the nodegraph is being rebuilt. Just wait for it to finish and the game will unfreeze.

Q: I load the map, but it's missing textures. What do I do?

A: The download must not have finished properly. Delete the .GMA file in your addons folder called "gm_arid_valley_v2_night_001_GMA.gma" and relaunch the game to let the map be redownloaded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: I try to launch the map on my server, but I only get an error saying "Hunk Engine Overflow". How do I fix this?

A: You need to disable Hunk Memory. This is disabled in Gmod by default, but not for the servers. To fix it type "r_hunkalloclightmaps 0" into the server console before you load the map or add it to an autoexec.cfg.
