Garry’s Mod Update #72 has arrived. Quite a few additions and changes are being made with this update. This includes Jinto’s renders, Networked Vars as well as the most noticeable change- the new menu background. A few days ago we announced that Garry was looking for a replacement image. The selection has been made and it’s included!

@1. Disco

picture here:

Well, how ’bout waiting ’till the update is complete?
Only thing is you cant multiplay..
LOL, just update your server. I have oh and btw people looking for an updated server, goto my one. Its IP Address is: 81.153.155.167
Awesome update Garry.
I did, but it still says ‘Server uses diff. class tables’.
i cant start the game with the new update pls help me
I came
also http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/BJK51/background01_widescreen.jpg
Wow, the new background is awesome
Indeed.
Heya, its pretty awesome background, but, u should make a program, which will auto update servers everytime u make a new update, anways, keep the good working going .
This update screw up the wiremod (no some tools like:Text screen, Sound Emiter, Indicator and much more)
Fix for people who cant update their dedicated server:
Remove \orangebox\bin
Remove \orangebox\garrysmod\bin
and then update and restart your server, it works 100% for me
.
[SoW] The Oliver
To play multiplayer, the server owners must have this newest udpate.
magic thruster ??? whatever next ?
Sweet
New background is l33t
Someone really needs to setup Wiki/ Documentation on that new render library!
Well which update do we need to our servers ?
you broke all my dupes!!! garrysmod.org has custom backgrounds and you overwrote mine! now i have to remake all my vehicles cuz you broke them! I AM NOT PLEASED WITH YOU GARRY!!!!!! NOT PLEASED AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! updates like this should be optional, i don’t need any of this new stuff!!!! GAGGHHH!!!!! THE NEW BACHGROUND ISN’T EVEN THAT GREAT!!! DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!!
I like the update!
I got so much maps and now I can put my favorite maps to favorites^^
And the new background is very cool, better than the first one.
Nice job!
@Kingkai8: You do realize you could have disabled automatic updates for Garrys Mod in Steam, right?
Now quit whining. It’s your fault because you didn’t take the few seconds to disable it.

What a hell is that?>:(
well mine doesnt work i bought it today and i just get to the loading screen then it says hl2 has stopped working
Hey Garry! i would just would like to let you know that this update broke almost everything that i have on my server! the scoreboard (wont go down/glitched) Q menu (wont come up Some lua error) Context menu (wont come up) and some other main source/server issue’s caused by UPDATE 72 along with now i’ve gotta reinstall and hopefully fix the server. it better not be a waste of my time.
PS: you might want to post a log of whats going to change in the next update before you release it (so modders can change their stuff) and you might want to test some of the updates on a server with a lot of addons.
The new background and menu font is fucking horrible. Garry should be allowed to edit or updat Gmod anymore.
Added map favourites (right click on a map)<—–My idea
http://getsatisfaction.com/facepunch/topics/favorites_tab_for_the_maps_menu
OH YEA!!!
the thrusters are bugged on my server eventhough ive updated it… (they dont remove) :/ and a few wire things like it
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE UPDATE! He DOES make a log! Just view the GMod Beta SVN page! This update is very VERY helpful!
Loving the new update. Finally to have more than just a “WOOOSH” sound for thrusters.
The new update completely broke my server :/
The player camera is under the map, the Q and TAB menus are broken, and who knows what else that I can’t check ’cause of a broken Q menu.
(Unless that’s from some skiddie uploading crap to my server somehow…)
The new menu background is OK, I guess. It’s just that compared to some other images, it’s a bit ”Meh”.
I’ve also noticed my Garry’s Mod running faster after I updated it. =)
Uhh, how do i update my server so itll work???
I love the new update!
Guys,Have to buy or download where the update?
it seems to have messed up more that it has fixed
I dont like the new background that much. Doesnt capture the fun side of gmod well enough.
Leaves the wrong impression for first timers I think.
Still, great update :3
I wish people would stop complaining about their servers not working. They should learn a little about updates insted of bitching about it on here. Plus whoever said garry shouldn’t be allowed to put updates on anymore, you are pathetic and I would like to see you do better. Anyway, on topic. Really liking the update so far Garry!
Thruster sounds are a bit fucked up, if you put 2 thrusters down quickly the sound attaches to things, like your toolgun or a part of the map. Also nothing in GMod Tower works any more. :\
GMod Tower must update there servers.
Awesome update, thanks Garry
They fixed mp_falldamage finnaly and thruster sounds are delicious. Magic effect for thrusters is magic and background image is awesome.Overall awesome update thanks Garry
Personally I like the update, new sights sounds and all that junk but any word on when wire mod will be fixed? my space fighter is without an engine right now because adv. gyro pods will not save into the duper.Also, I attempted to make an e2 chip to solve that problem but wire link is now broken so bye bye wire convenience.
After installing the update, Gmod was slow and prone to crashing. Another major problem is I can not acess any weapons other that the Pysics Gun, camera, and tool guns. I have a very old computer, a 2003 Windows XP, and after reading the comments, I see that my problems are most likley caused by that. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
I started up gmod, and instantly fell in love with the new background.
Great work. Oh and Kingkai8, Seriously, Rebuild them. Thats what Garry’s Mod is all about.
And Matt Jeanes, If you want to advertise, there is this tool called AdWords from Google. Don’t do it here!
Cya,
Roelof
game wont work…. it says game is not (sry for english) avable
1. Everything I have made no longer works and is broken.
2. The bacground looks like you have sucked the fun out of gmod and replaced it with a horrible looking one.
3. I am realy angry.
4. You have broken or stoped things working in the past like ruen the noclip I liked that the old way. But no that wasnt good enouth now you had to go and ruen gmod completely.
5. I hope you never make another update again.
6. I hope you put everything back to how it was.
7. Well I dono if I even want to play gmod anymore…
If Garry don’t update Garry’s Mod, Gmod wont work at all. So stop whining, idiots.
And try to make a new clean garrys mod folder if you got problems. Right now i only got phx3 and wire installed, nothing wrong. except for some wire tools being gone, but fixing and updating add-ons is the makers problem. NOT Garry’s
I like the update, guess you can’t please everyone.
Is it really so terrible to have to update your addons every so often?
this new update is giving me this new sandbox error and its happening with every gamemode i play now
ERROR: GAMEMODE:’OnSpawnMenuOpen’ Failed: sandbox\gamemode\spawnmenu/spawnmenu.lua:66: attempt to call field ‘SpawnMenuOpen’ (a nil value)
:1: attempt to call field ‘SpawnedProp’ (a nil value)
:1: attempt to call field ‘Remover’ (a nil value)
etc.
plus now people who join my server are having their gmod break. like they cant open their spawn menus or anything
The new update has caused my player models to not work.
It also deleted some of my vehicles
LOVE the update!
My thrusters have no sound and my dynamite disappears after being exploded. Half of the custom player models I have downloaded do not work. Nice background but everything else is screwed.
the new gmod update burned my crops, poisoned my water supply, and delivered plague unto my family
The new background doesnt “Scream” Gmod at me
It changes the the feel of the start menu
Im just gonna get the old one
The Update screwed how i play multi-player with my brothers using only one account…
now i cant use my account in offline mode to put two different people on my account in offline mode into the same LAN multi-player server witch is hosted on my account…
Was Playing Dark RP with a friend tonight, both of us crash at different times but doing the same thing, freezing a prop. We came to the conclusion it might have been “Increased max physics collisions before freezing”. Also got quite a bit of fps drop when freezing props also.
http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=798387
Uhh, the new update caused some wired items, such as lights, to not weld onto the object and sends up an error.
the gmod update doesnt make problems to me!
The new font in the menu is awesome!
The new background only shows that there are things that have to be done but it still doesnt show many players or fun!
NO GMOD FEELING!!!!!!!
Just another fail-update. As much as i appreciate Garry’s work, whenever theres a new update, old coding have faults.
I noticed that a square-like spot up in the left corner gets messy when I look up in the sky. (t.ex the information about the tool you are using (toolgun) disappears in the square).
the new gmod update burned my crops, poisoned my water supply, and delivered plague unto my family
I have exactly the same
It must be the update!
My only complaint is the amount of people complaining.
Oh, and some of the new thruster sounds don’t work for me.
But I really like the sobel effect, and the new background is epic
I’ve had no problems with the update. I LOVE the new thruster sounds thank you god!
@Bit_annoyed: You said it crashed when freezing a prop with the phys gun correct? Well, when it says “Increased max physics collisions before freezing” that is talking about a completely different “freezing”. It means, when you stick a F load of props in one spot and they start to get stuck against each other, the physics “freezes” them to prevent more lag from all the computations.
grrr… im changing the background
the facers and thrusters dont work in adv dup wtf sry garry but
FAIL FAIL FAIL
This new update has caused me to crash A LOT.
I pretty much never crashed before, but every time I get a connection error, and the error stops after a few seconds, I crash.
I know I am not the only one with this problem.
We need a fix!
FINALLY! New thruster sounds..
Michael i have the same problem, But my dedicated server will not update! i tried everything! PLZ help me!!!!
Update is OK…broke adv. dupe though, gyropod no longer remembers itself being welded to prop and the settings dont save on the thing forcing me to redo them every time
ARG….
Anything with a paster like Advanced Prop-Spawner and parts of Advanced Dup are broken.
u just get an error message with like (nil value) and what not.
also some wire stuff like Cam Controller doesn’t work
GM’s really need to test their script before they publish.
My adv_duplicator is half broken, and now the new thruster effects i tried AREN’T WORKING!!!!
Its pretty frustrating with the new update. I wish there was a way to go back to an older version of Gmod.
david
Decent update. but my adv dupe appears to be broken now nothing else just advance dupe and i use it a lot lol. it still copys and pastes but everytime i spawn something with general thrusters they dont spawn on the vehicle they glitch up and just fall of it then they spaz up so. please find a fix if ui can.
There need to be an update that fixes player models
It broke DarkRP 2.3.7 and a few other things, probably the networked vars…
ANY new save file i create I will not be able to use any tools, after I load it! Wtf!
Another thing that doesn’t adv dupe properly anymore is wired keypad
Well, I can’t spawn thrusters using adv dupe because it will say “ADV DUPE ERROR: Cannot spawn gmod_thruster” and the thrusters spawn un-attached and dont work
reply: to sir says
i have the same problem and its extremely annoying.
I have so many ppl on my servers crying to me about Advanced Duplicator errors, and not to mention I have almost 100 dupes of my own that now have an 80% failure rate.
GARRY PLEASE:
Make this update compatible with Adv Dupe addon. You’re breakin’ mah bawlz here.
-Abe
The npc camera wont work on mine and it lags when I try to add anything. Props, weps, npc’s, spawners, anything.
The background just doesn’t seem fun, it makes the game seem like it’s gonna take a long time to figure out.
Other than that I’m loving the update!
The old dynamite was better because it stayed after being detonated (the way it should be), and now i can’t have a working combustion engine that lasts for more than one turn or cannons that fire multiple times without needing new dynamite welded inside between shots. Everything else, works great.
