Garry's Mod News Feed http://www.garrysmod.com/rss/ News from the official Garry's Mod website. en-gb 30 GMod Patch 45
Fixed crash when prop's physics object couldn't be created
Fixed TF2 blood overriding HL2 blood
Fixed shotgun having wildly reduced damage
Changed default jump height so you can jump on a crouched player
Fixed not being able to override materials on clientside entities
Fixed not seeing hunter blood in MP
Fixed PlayerHurt not being called
Fixed 'TracerName' not always working in 'FireBullets'


I don't think anything requires explanation there.

One thing that might take people by surprise is the shotgun bug. I fixed a bug that meant that the first bullet out of a shotgun was the only one doing damage (shotguns fire multiple bullets). This means that if anyone made a shotgun SWEP they probably adjusted the damage on it to counter this bug. Which means now it'll be doing way too much damage.

So long story short, some shotgun SWEPs might be doing too much damage now.[...]]]> http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=540 http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=540 Tue, 15 Jul 1:31:01 GMT-6 2008 Garry's Mod Gms_Affection

Images are to large to post sorry, but you can watch the video to see how it is.



Have fun![...]]]> http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=535 http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=535 Mon, 14 Jul 5:56:36 GMT-6 2008 Garry's Mod Update 44 Released
Reduced bandwidth overhead
Fixed SQLite errors
Changed how particles are loaded (modder friendlier)
Fixed DModelPanel model color issues
Fixed ents.FindInBox only returning half the entities
Fixed ents.FindInSphere only returning half the entities
Fixed cookies not restoring
Added ply:SetStepSize( f )
Added ply:GetStepSize()
Added ply:SetJumpPower( f )
Added ply:GetJumpPower()


I changed quite a bit of the entity internals to reduce the bandwidth they use. This should go a long way to reducing the "Snapshot Overflow" problems.

GMod now loads all particles in the particles/ folder rather than following the manifest files. This should allow ya'll to make your own particle effects and use them in your SWEPs or something. The only problem here is that you'll need to restart to be able to use any particles downloaded from a server. That's something I'm going to have to look into solving.

The FindInBox/FindInSphere boxes should fix a problem with WireMod's "Target Finder" (and anything else that uses those functions).

The spawnmenu should now remember the size and layout of some of its components. This was broken in the last update (Did anyone even notice?).

Finally, I'd like to ask whether anyone has made a decent map for melonracer that I can use to replace the mr_test map. If so shoot me an email at garrynewman@gmail.com with a few screenshots.[...]]]> http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=523 http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=523 Tue, 8 Jul 3:49:44 GMT-6 2008 Garry's Mod Gamemode and Map Stats
They're both now a lot more accurate (Thanks to "The MAZZTer"), giving us a more complete picture of what is really going on.

You can find the gamemode statistics here and the map statistics here.[...]]]> http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=521 http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_my_pylon=521 Mon, 7 Jul 2:08:59 GMT-6 2008 Garry's Mod Ink Monday
Inspired by the art of Metal Gear Solid, DMGaina decided to take forth an adventure that no member has even dared to venture upon. His hopes are high and wants to demonstrate this new medium through the means of a youtube video. His supporters and fellow fans are cheering him on as he completes and gives birth to a whole new revolution.

Garry: From what I understand it’s going to be part of the Source Engine. So yeah. Once Valve updates their games with it, I’ll update GMod with it.

I don’t know how great it will be with GMod, whether you’ll be able to navigate the menus etc.. but I guess we’ll see. One of the things that interested me with the Falcon is the ability to ‘feel’ things. So maybe once the code is in I’ll bind it up to Lua and we can have some gamemodes based around it or something. Here’s an example.

They are very unique, because they use ent_fire to trigger the next events. Ent_fire is mostly a lost art, though there are still a few that practice it. They were made in Garry's Mod v9.0, before fancy lua addons made building a lot easier.

One thing to note is that absolutely zero thrusters were used.
The second one is much more complex, and much better, so I am putting it first.



In order to reduce lag, all ropes and pulleys were deleted. This would repeat again and again without any input from me. Only vanilla (standard) props and entities were used, though a ton of console hacking was put in to make it work.

This is the first one, which is quite simple. It was more of a prototype for the second.
