FAQ Thread- Please read
I've subscribed to the comments on this addon and I keep noticing the same questions keep coming up. I'm too lazy to unsubscribe from the thread, so I'm writing this in the hopes that it will reduce these questions from continiously being asked and spamming my notifications tab on Steam.

Question: When is the update coming?
Answer: No ETA's will be given, be patient, Lord Trilobyte has things to do in life other than continuously updating this map.

Question: Can I (edit, make, reupload, etc.) this map in any way?
Answer: NO, Lord Trilobyte does not want too many versions of this map. If there's something you don't like then either- a) Say so in the "Future Suggestion Thread", b) stop complaining and accept it, c) find (or make) some other map to use.

Where is the Hyperspace Button?
Answer: One of the rooms on the bridge, look for 3 buttons placed next to each other on a console.

Question: Where is the secret room?
Answer: Read the "Where is the secret room?" discussion.

Question: What do the buttons in the secret room do?
Answer: At the time of this writing; the buttons trigger:
1) Fleet activation/ ship selection; 2) Timeline selection; 3) Hangar doors; 4) TIE Bay Controls.

Question: Elevators keep killing me and my players, what can I do?
Answer: Changing your server tickrate helps.

Question: Are there any outside textures that you need to download to play on this map?
Answer: No, all the textures should come with the map, if they don't, then your map files are probably corrupted or something.

Question: Whenever I try to join a server I get a message that says "Map missing" or whatever.
Answer: That's a really weird bug that happens with the Steam Workshop sometimes. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to this addon, restarting Gmod, and ensuring you and the server have the same copy of the map. If none of that works, go into your local gmod addons folder, find any file with this map/addon's name and delete it, then restart Gmod. If that doesn't work either, then something messed up is going on for some reason.

Question: This addon is not downloaded properly even though I'm subscribed. It downloads everytime I start Gmod.
Answer: If you're getting an error that says "Error 37" then you're probably going to have to wait until it fixes itself. If you're too impatient, then try changing your download server in Steam settings, unsubscribing then resubscribing, restarting your PC, reinstalling Gmod, or go into your local gmod addons folder, find any file with this map/addon's name and delete it, then restart Gmod.

Question: Could Lord Trilobite make a (insert map name) map?
Answer: Sorry, Lord Trilobite doesn't do requests. Look around for a map that suits your needs or hire a mapper to make one for you.

Question: Could the skybox or ship be bigger?
Answer: The map is already pushing the limits of the source engine. The skybox can not be made any bigger and there are only a limited amount of rooms possible.

Question: Will there ever be a feature to turn off the lights on the ship?
Answer: No, dynamic lights are terrible for performance, especially on a map this big.

Question: Will there ever be a simulation room/citadel challenge?
Answer: No, citadel challenges do not exist on Star Destroyers (from what we know). Nothing that has no lore explanation will be added in the map without a very good reason. There is a reason the sparring room/firing range exist.

Question: How do I go to the Death Star/Planet Surface?
Use the hyperspace function to get to it, then fly at it (or noclip) to enter the hangar/surface.

Question: How do I use the hyperspace function?
There is a room on the bridge with a number of buttons on the same panel, play around with them until you figure out which goes where.

Question: The skybox just looks like a normal sky instead of space, what's up with that?
You probably have an atmosphere addon or something similar messing with the map, look for one and disable it.

Question: How do I put a TIE into the hook next to the small hangar?
Spawn it yourself. Use the King Pommes TIE Fighter, it fits perfectly.

Question: Where did you get the background noise/ambience from?
HL2.

Question: Will you ever make older versions of the map available for use?
No. Lord Trilobite does not want multiple versions of the map floating around the workshop, so there will only ever be one version you can download- from here.

Question: Can you destroy/ blow up the ship?
No, the entire Star Destroyer can not, and will never be, fully destroyable. It would be way too much for the Source Engine to handle. It is possible, though, that Lord Trilobite will add specific parts that can be destroyed to the ship.

Hey Skybird, if you still frequent these forums, I think adding or amending the list to include mention of making older versions available for use is a definite “no.” This one seems to be asked a lot as of late.

Another one is the change to the hyperspace function, there is more than three buttons now available.

Indeed, I am not going to upload any of the older versions. It's better to have one version (besides the infinite version ofc) for everyone so everyone only has to download the map once and it will work on all servers.
