Original map - jotalanusse/sledbuild-remastered GitHub Wiki

The map

The original SledBuild gamemode included a map we all love, sbl_snowsled_v3. This is the only map I know that exists for the original SledBuild.

This map is so iconic that I wanted it to be in SBR as well, that's why I made a port called sbr_snowsled_v3 that works with SBR. As for now the map will be included with the game mode, so you don’t have to download it separately. But in the future I might make it a separate download.

Compiling

Given that the original map was compiled years ago, there is no guarantee that it will look exactly as the old one. But I try my best to make them look the same.

One thing I noticed is that the original map doesn’t have HDR, and using it will cause the whole map to be too bright. So when trying to compile the map, make sure to disable HDR. You can do this by changing the -both parameter to -ldr in the lightning settings while compiling. This will make the map only use LDR lighting, which makes it look more like the original.

There's also a flag called -final that according to the Valve Developer Wiki - HDR Lighting Basics makes the maps indirect lightning look a little bit better by spending more time firing rays. I'm not sure I see a difference when using this flag, but I'm disabling it just in case.
