Amazing game and mechanic The fact that by the setting you "expect" something to be chasing you its a good show that the tension on this game is really well made. Scans are slow and unprecise and the sound its definetly eerie and omnious, plus the first jumpscare being treated like that and a sudden error plus the sillouete that it leaves after its done really adds up. Also the music that plays after the game "reboots" its very fitting and adds to the thrill
...Reread my message and go look up Scanner Sombre, Lidar might be a garry's mod mod but Scanner Sombre is the exact same thing, as a game. And it has been out for two or three years.
i love how the map is actually a mix between gm_construct and a few other maps , and now adding this addon where you got to scan these places wich we're alive is adding a feeling of creepiness yet nostalgic
@@someoneunusual7186 the 2nd map is indeed gm_construct but i think 1st is a place where the creator did himself for the mod and not especially two maps
If you pay attention to the layout of the rooms after 8:50 you can tell that it's the underground section of gm_construct, the cut at 9:20 is when James enters the darkroom
I dont know why, but this is very similar to a small game I made with some pals on a DarkRP server, I made a Ray Tracing Camera using a E2 and a EGP, it was pretty slow and it only showed Depth, I showed it around and someone had the idea of using it as a kinda marco polo style game, we found a dark room and I just carried the EGP around trying to find them, the scary part about it is when someone decided to put their face right up to the Ray, it got a SUPER detailed image of his face, and it freaking jump scared me
@@kebabit707 using Wiremod, you can using the build in "Ranger" (you can also place down a Ranger), I then mapped the X and Y rotations to pixels on the screen, then I increment them, just like a CRT TV, it then makes a square on the EGP for every pixel, you can look up E2 RayCasting videos to get a better explaim
It leaves the silhouette because when you look at the "reboot screen" It says something about an unknown material, the game just doesn't know what color to fill it with so it just doesn't fill it with anything. Hope I expained it good enough
@@ShorkyBoi ye but i thought it might be interesting to know for anyone that didn't know or at least calming for anyone that actually got scared by this and hides in the comments lol
give thanks to the game 'scanner sombre' for being the inspiration of this. one of the coolest looking game mechanics i've ever seen, goddamn coding wizardry.
fun fact, this addon flips the maps so you get thrown off and don't know what's where anymore, also the thing doesn't actually seem to do anything other than observe you while you frantically scan to find it again.
The concept of this game is horrifying and I love it. It takes the concepts of liminal spaces, and taking pictures in the dark to make for a truly horrifying experience. There could have been no monster at all and your expectations would be that there always is and that alone is scary enough.
Reminds me of Iron Lung but this time you cannot see as if your eyes cannot create new information without being prompted to first. It makes for an amazing level of tension when you cannot see in realtime.
Yep, lidar is the best, just the pure terror in your mind is worth playing it, unfortunately it will get boring... Joking, the compatibility is perfect and also being able to play on any map with meshes and nodes is cool, gotta hope that it will update frequently
>realizes the amount of dots is limited >keeps spamming the huge aoe scan instead of like doing the normal thing just using the leftclick scan to be able to target things more roughly while still getting an idea of the room
This dman mod for me is the far scarier then any horror game due to the fact that the "monster" is a random thing that and you wont expect it at all and it only pops up once so EVERYTHING sets you off when you first play and that jumpscar happeneds
Fun fact! The reason why you cant see the _-Redman-_ on the reboot is because you lose the color red on the scanner, only allowing it to block the scanner! :)
Oh nice, I saw The Librarians video on this (You should definetley check them out if you like these sort of stuff). And knowing what, you known, would happen while Jameskii is just absolutley having a athmospheric pain stroll was wonderful.
This kind of horror game is extremly interesting and I can see how it easily adapts into being a horror game, the person that made this did a spectacular job.
Fun fact it worked even in multiplayer and when you got console you can turn your vision on press ctrl v, also why 2nd part of video looks like gm_constract?
hey James ik you probably don't read your comments from how much you get every video but I wanna say that you were my inspiration to start doing youtube so thank you bro
They fr using the half-life gun on this.. Not sure if this is the same game as I'm only a minute in as typing this, but I've only ever seen the concept for this as you being a cave explorer, same concept and everything; you're only able to see by scanning as you have the gun and a vr headset type headwear. It's a REALLY good concept, original story had you leave the depths of the cave and find your family mourning you, it's nice.
Oh no shit? Oh I was wondering why I could see the leader board that had the huge Garrys mod watermark fucking hell. There's a mod that literally gives you the scanner gun from scanner sombra.
@@SirVonSpace jesus dude I was just telling you because you were saying "they fr using the half-life gun on this.." and it sounded like you thought someone made a game and copy-pasted it in. not trying to cause anything else, just now I get what you mean.

i am wondering, does it make big lag so ?
@@Jean_TeddyBear the lydar mod get rid of old dot and nodes after a threshold you set go past
This game mode is based on a game called Scanner Sombre its a great horror game.
Its Gmod and this is a mod based off another game
also the fact that you never actually scan the entity, it's just the absence of the scanned spot that alert's you to it's presence
Had it not been for the Half Life 2 pistol model, this could pass as an actual game.
I mean, I thought it was an actual game until he pressed tab and it said gmod.
Look up Scanner Sombre, it IS a game
the mod is called Lidar
this is a mod to garrrys mod called lidar
...Reread my message and go look up Scanner Sombre, Lidar might be a garry's mod mod but Scanner Sombre is the exact same thing, as a game. And it has been out for two or three years.

The first map is from the workshop, but the 2nd one after the witnessing of stalker, it teleported him to GM_Construct
whats the map
@@someoneunusual7186 Whats the first maps name?
@@AlbinoMichigander I do not know sadly, it's a community map. But I'm sure that the 2nd one is GM_Construct
@@someoneunusual7186 the 2nd map is indeed gm_construct but i think 1st is a place where the creator did himself for the mod and not especially two maps
Its so cool to see the mechanics of
Scanner Sombre used in other stuff its a really cool game mechanic that i love!
I just bought the game the other day, so I may livestream it in the upcoming days or weeks!
@@JameskiiLive literally the day after i complete scanner sombre you post this video.
@@JameskiiLive Please do I’d love to watch that stream!
also if anyone is wondering it th3 lydar mod
@@JameskiiLive there is a roblox version of this Lidar called "Scan_test" or something like that, with interesting secrets
I like how he isn't cracking jokes to loosen up the tension like lots of people do, it helps keeping the eerie vibe throughout
He literally draws a pen-.. "Dog bone" on a wall.
@@DamienTB that was after the game revealed he was actually being followed, to loosen the tension.
He did do that on the roblox lidar one, it sucked
This is an interesting kind of mechanic. I would love to see more stuff like this because this is very nice
Like a portal game but with this mechanic
@@catmist4651 There already is a game, this mod was based off of a game called "Scanner Sombre" and it is 80% off during summer sale right now
But there already is a game, this mod was literally a copy of the tool and mechanics from "Scanner Sombre"
The Unfinished Swan also has a similar mechanic
@@Daisukie360 oof, guess I missed that sale

Thank you

quirky names very epic
This is a very fun addon, nothing actually really chases you. It was just an entity roaming about. Yet it's always so unnerving
If you pay attention to the layout of the rooms after 8:50 you can tell that it's the underground section of gm_construct, the cut at 9:20 is when James enters the darkroom
isnt that the bright room at 920
I dont know why, but this is very similar to a small game I made with some pals on a DarkRP server, I made a Ray Tracing Camera using a E2 and a EGP, it was pretty slow and it only showed Depth, I showed it around and someone had the idea of using it as a kinda marco polo style game, we found a dark room and I just carried the EGP around trying to find them, the scary part about it is when someone decided to put their face right up to the Ray, it got a SUPER detailed image of his face, and it freaking jump scared me
oh damn that sounds pretty sick i dont think i understood what you explained but yeah cool
could you explain more how to make this and what mods? seems interesting
@@kebabit707 using Wiremod, you can using the build in "Ranger" (you can also place down a Ranger), I then mapped the X and Y rotations to pixels on the screen, then I increment them, just like a CRT TV, it then makes a square on the EGP for every pixel, you can look up E2 RayCasting videos to get a better explaim
what disoriented me the most about this gamemode is that it inverted your left and rights on maps, making it REALLY weird and completely unique.
Love how they leave the silhouette of the creature in after the reboot, it just confirms that you weren't seeing things, something was there.
It leaves the silhouette because when you look at the "reboot screen" It says something about an unknown material, the game just doesn't know what color to fill it with so it just doesn't fill it with anything. Hope I expained it good enough
@@ShorkyBoi well, of course that is just the mod doing le spooky, the npc is just an hl2 stalker so it definitely would know what to fill it with
@@GBlockbreaker I know that, I just wanted to explain the "lore(?)"
@@ShorkyBoi ye but i thought it might be interesting to know for anyone that didn't know or at least calming for anyone that actually got scared by this and hides in the comments lol
@@GBlockbreaker oh ok
Games needs more unique unimaginable horrors like this
I love the concept of using lidar as a game mechanic. You could play a whole game from the perspective of an autonomous rover.
It was really fun to watch this live, hope you liked it james!
give thanks to the game 'scanner sombre' for being the inspiration of this. one of the coolest looking game mechanics i've ever seen, goddamn coding wizardry.
I want to see Jameskii play Iron Lung, I think it'd be an experience for him
for those who want a game like this there is a whole game centered around this mechanic called scanner sombre it even has a vr version of it
fun fact, this addon flips the maps so you get thrown off and don't know what's where anymore, also the thing doesn't actually seem to do anything other than observe you while you frantically scan to find it again.
I swear. Lidar is literally one of the scariest gmod addons I have played
It's so cool seeing the scanner sombre mechanic being used in other places
The concept of this game is horrifying and I love it. It takes the concepts of liminal spaces, and taking pictures in the dark to make for a truly horrifying experience. There could have been no monster at all and your expectations would be that there always is and that alone is scary enough.
At the end it got substantially less terrifying once i realised its gm construct
I’ve heard of this addon, but never played it. Thanks for giving me a dose of it!
Reminds me of Iron Lung but this time you cannot see as if your eyes cannot create new information without being prompted to first. It makes for an amazing level of tension when you cannot see in realtime.
This Mecanic is So UNCANY but when i relised your on the Defult Clasic Garrysmod Island (The white building at the end Told me) then it became funny
there's a full game around this mechanic called scanner sombre
Yep, lidar is the best, just the pure terror in your mind is worth playing it, unfortunately it will get boring... Joking, the compatibility is perfect and also being able to play on any map with meshes and nodes is cool, gotta hope that it will update frequently
>realizes the amount of dots is limited
>keeps spamming the huge aoe scan instead of like doing the normal thing just using the leftclick scan to be able to target things more roughly while still getting an idea of the room
This game looks sick actually
its a gmod addon
its a gmod addon inspired by a game called scanner sombre
if anyone is confused still, the addon flips the map
The fact that the video quality has worsened with a good computer and very good internet adds on to the terrifying aspect of these gamemodes.
I love the being blind in a horror game. It's so unique
7:48 stupid tool tip also scared the soul out of me
This idea for a game is so amazing
Every video makes me want to buy garrys mod even more
you should really get it while its still on sale
best game ever i already clocked like 20 hours in two days
Its amazing, get it
That tools info stuff spooked me haha 7:48
The fact you can make a lot of maps into a horror game is amazing, the creator of this add-on had a good idea
Watching Jameskii being paranoid for 8 mins and even more paranoid after first *THING* encounter in LIDAR
Perfect
This dman mod for me is the far scarier then any horror game due to the fact that the "monster" is a random thing that and you wont expect it at all and it only pops up once so EVERYTHING sets you off when you first play and that jumpscar happeneds
Don't know if you're gonna read that, but it goes as far as the map allows, the dots are just spread out way further
this'll certainly be interesting
this is just like roblox’s mechanic where you have to scan and you get crashes but not really it’s just a gui but if he find you he will crash ur game
I feel like if more you tubers where like you our youth could be saved
Fun fact! The reason why you cant see the _-Redman-_ on the reboot is because you lose the color red on the scanner, only allowing it to block the scanner! :)
For those who are worried, the first jumpscare happens at 8:37
You're welcome.
Basically, james gaslighting himself for 12 minutes straight
"oh this game isn't that scare-" *scary music and change comes in* "okay time to throw away my headset and use subtitles"
Oh nice, I saw The Librarians video on this (You should definetley check them out if you like these sort of stuff). And knowing what, you known, would happen while Jameskii is just absolutley having a athmospheric pain stroll was wonderful.
This kind of horror game is extremly interesting and I can see how it easily adapts into being a horror game, the person that made this did a spectacular job.
Amazing video as always James!! Keep it up mate 👍
This would be a really cool concept for a actual horror game
you hear a faint voice.
you can’t hear it well but you can well
“ *OHHHHHH JAMESKIII……* “
for anyone wondering
this is a mod to garrys mod called Lidar
i hope the mod dev add more spooky stuff in it, there is so much potential in there is fucking nuts
When he uses the pistol on something, it looks like Iron Lung graphics
this is a roblox game too btw. literally the exact same thing but diff map
gotta love how near the end james was in gm_construct, IN a gmod horror map mod thing.
I love this, it's so interesting and it really tickles my Iron Lung scan mechanic.
He needs to play this actual game in vr, it can get terrifying
Jameskii should play scanner sombre its one of the original uses of lidar scanning in a game i remember seeing, and its really fun.
You’re actually in the back rooms when you’re playing that mod
idk why this gamemode blowed up and got recomended teh heck outta it but i ain't complaining
Yoooo I was watching the librarian play LiDAR just a few days ago. Sweet video man
9:42 Wait, THAT IS THE MIRROR AND WHITE ROOMS FROM GM_CONSTRUCT, AND JAMES EXITS THEM THROUGH THE GARAGE
I've spent WAY too much time on gm_construct
Jameskii: I'm going to play a spooky gamemode that will be fun and I will have a video about!
Jameskii after 8:35: OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?
im pretty sure at the last part he was on gm_contruct because i recognized the mirror room and the outside looked familiar
Didn't even realize it was gmod till he got the tool tip
Wait
is this map gm_construct with some extra stuff?
I like how when you scan the room you create this dark alleyways that are spoopy for you
1:10 us gamers meeting grass for the first time🤣
Love it people should do more horrors with that
there is a roblox version of this scanner game but the jumpscares are more harsh
I remember watching every scanner sombre video a couple years ago cus it was so interesting. I’d highly recommend it if you like this mechanic
Imagine this in vr
8:37 jumpscare
Using raycasting as a horror game is quite original
This mode is basically blind person's POV as the game
that last area seemed very similar to gm construct
I hate how well this addon builds the horror tension...
the games mechanic sorta reminds me of the start of " The Unfinished Swan "
Watching it in 12:20 am is so, god damn, spooky, amazing game
Fear of the unknown is the greatest mind killer.
That would be an interesting multiplayer chase game.
paranoia based horror games are the only horror games worth playing
"you're not alone in here..."
well good luck im no there
Jesus what goes into the mind of the dev of that game because that is insanely unnerving.
A bug crawled up my arm when he was upstairs when he said he heard something, I won't be wearing these undies anymore.
I don't find scary games that scary nowadays but holy shit watching this is making me nervous
"What is this green stuff?" Poor jameskii has never seen grass
This mod literally looks like a puppet combo horror game
Fun fact it worked even in multiplayer and when you got console you can turn your vision on press ctrl v, also why 2nd part of video looks like gm_constract?
*”**8:36**”* scared.
I played this mod and had no idea that the empty player on the scoreboard was an enemy cause I never saw them 💀
hey James ik you probably don't read your comments from how much you get every video but I wanna say that you were my inspiration to start doing youtube so thank you bro
Only cool gamers watch James on Twitch for the full experience, was fun watching you get spooked during the stream.
it took me until the room with the long mirror to realise it was the room from construct
If only you had XRAY VISION like I do in gmod.
Such a cool concept for a game!
there is a game like this that came out way before the mod called Scanner Sombre
They fr using the half-life gun on this..
Not sure if this is the same game as I'm only a minute in as typing this, but I've only ever seen the concept for this as you being a cave explorer, same concept and everything; you're only able to see by scanning as you have the gun and a vr headset type headwear.

yeah because it’s gmod
