This mod shares the approach vector as Paranoia in that not every map's gonna work with it. Mod mixing in a nutshell, I know. Still though, at the very least, I'm glad that most of the stuff here seems to work out of the box. Well, after I moved any missing assets in from base HL1, anyways. No need for me to mess around with BSPEdit to wirejam a map to fit.

Some things are a bit tricky to walk around. Spyro doesn't really have any ranged attacks, so any maps that have you fighting long distance shooters are out of the question. Poor lad also can't swim down, so that's any water related shenanigans off the books. Also not sure about Spyro's anti armor capabilities, probably shouldn't touch maps where you have to kill gargs or apaches. I think he also can't take as much hits as ol' Freeman. Can't run around crowded maps.

Either way, had to sort through the ol' map archives for a while before I found the one that works not too badly with the current existing systems. The Gloom. An SP conversion of de_storm of all maps. Bit of an odd choice, I know, but it works mostly. Can't complain. Not just a basic "plop enemies randomly in the map and call it a day" affair, more something that you'll have to explore and find keys for in order to progress.

Some parts are a bit awkward with YotD, like the ladders and any encounters with controllers, but overall it wasn't too bad. I had fun with today's run! It might take a while again for me to find more maps that'll fit in with this setup, but I'm sure it'll be fine. RTSL's got plenty for me to sort through.
