I just submitted a patch to Valve, so I thought I’d give it a little write up since there’s some big changes that might affect addons etc.
This patch has had some big contributions from AzuiSleet. Most notably, LuaJIT and 3rd person animations.
LuaLIT
We haven’t seen a huge performance boost from LuaJIT, but it’s there now. I’m sure there have been some things that people wanted to do, but couldn’t because Lua turned out to be too slow so they didn’t bother. Maybe now they can do it. Enabling LuaJIT comes with some compatibility problems, Azu explained them here.
3rd Person Animations
The third person animations work pretty much flawelessly. I won’t be totally suprised if we see a lot of 3rd person gamemodes popping up. Might be good for roleplayers too? Again, there are some incompatibilities that coders will need to bear in mind.
Spawn Icons
The new spawnicon camera layout that I posted about yesterday is implemented. I rebuilt all the icons for you too. If you want to have a mess around and rebuild the icons, there’s some spawnicon_* convars that you can use to adjust the fov etc.
TF2 Spy masks
Someone mentioned spy masks in the comments of yesterday’s post – so I looked at it, and wrote a little hack to enable spawning the spy with masks on. It basically changes the bodygroup if it’s the spy model and the skin is over 3.
Crash Fixes
Fixed a few rare bugs too. Rare enough to have never bumped in to, but according to the steam stats, one of the bugs created about 4000 crashes. So well worth mentioning.
Nice with a new patch
Good to see GMod being worked on.
So, is this the update that all the Falcon owners on facepunch have been waiting for?
No
Nice Update :P, hasnt been a good 1 for ages lol
This is not an energy update, but it's a nice one. :D
How much faster is LuaLIT?
Those crash fixes… I hope one of them was the kick crash.
I like LuaJIT :DDDD
Nice, very nice.
Finally better spawnicons, thanks!
Seems like it broke my ULX and UPS
3rd Person Animations
The third person animations work pretty much flawelessly. I won’t be totally suprised if we see a lot of 3rd person gamemodes popping up. Might be good for roleplayers too? Again, there are some incompatibilities that coders will need to bear in mind.
I LOVE YOU GARRY! I love you so much I could kiss you! God I have been waiting for this update for. AAAGES!!!!
Awesome, good job!
No, that would be the engine-update in the future.
Thank you Garry!
“one of the bugs created about 4000 crashes” we dont have many daily gmod players that is a lot
Very nice spawnicons, though I think the 3d had been overdone on them.
Would be nice if they spun around when you hovered over them so you could get a better look at the prop.
Anyway, very nice job!
hell, yeah.
Garry, when are you going to fix the bug with jumping while crouching? Whenever you jump, and crouch in the air, your character teleports up. It looks really weird.
I just had fun with old thirdperson mode, now gonna test new. Thanks Garry and AzuiSleet :)
I will definitely be working on 3rd person gamemodes now, more than ever. And I'm loving the new spawnicons.
Would be nice to have update news page with this?
1. Reload animations ARE GONE, they no longer work no matter how you fucking call them.
2. SWEP:Reload() seem to not be a fucking valid function anymore.
3. ULX is fucked
4. ULIB Is fucked
5. Legs mod is fucked
6. Sharpeye is fucked
7. Access rights are fucked
PS: 8. All fps models have a fucked up red laser spaz out.
Not good! http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3681010/3/GMod/b...

ass_plugins.lua:35: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got nil)
Assmod is completly messed up -.-

Hi Garry. My name is Kushie, and I love you.
Garry – I emailed you about certain particle effects not working on DX8 cards, certain fire particles to be exact. Did you ever get my email?

Assmod is also not working -.-
Just every fucking addon is fucked up !!!!!
this broke some wire stuff to like the cam controller
Lua Error: DataStreamServer Encoding Error: includes/modules/glon.lua:152: Infinite Loop Detected! (operation 2)
Okay, thanks. This update has broken all admin modes.
and the new spawnicons looks like habbo-hotel :/
Fix it yourself.
haha funny !!
Nearly every server is not working !!
And 9/10 Gmodclient is crashing while loading – 10minutes play
Good, I've been waiting for these spy masks. Also, isn't there a uber spy mask model? I think you can do that one if you don't have a lot to do.
btw: HOW? -.-
Excellent update.
Target Finder also
Did you take any notice of LuaLITs performance improvement?
When a game is starting up (non multi) the game just says hl2 is not working and even tho its gm_construct
wow, whats his email? lol
make that 4001
Broke pretty much everything. As always. You never fail to break things in updates, garry.
Everything has been moved to luaJIT, so Lua is far, far faster. However, inevitably many things have broken.
“We haven’t seen a huge performance boost from LuaJIT, but it’s there now”
..
everything is not working
crashed when loading maps
try to fix
nothing worked
need new update
when ever theirs an update for garrysmod theres a solution and a problem
I cant play gmod now whenever I try to start a map it crashes
Is anyone else not able to use cameras anymore? Everytime I try to spawn one it just appears, and I can spawn as many as I want on the same key, and they dont work.
THANK YOU FOR KILLING ULX 3.40!!!
This update has fucked up my Single Player, I launch it, it loads for a while then Gmod crashes with the error: hl2.exe has stopped working
Why has this update fucked up everything?
Change it back!
LOL, infinite loop
I Think it's been like 4 Hours since the update and everyone is fliping the fuck out, Fix it.
Servers work for me I can play on mine and its darkrp svn updated and david get evolve assmod sucked anyways and evolve works with the latest revision of gmod.
Garry! Help-me! After this update, my game crashes when loading menu…
Sorry the english! But help!
Ok, Now ive found out that I cant even join Multiplayer servers without getting the: hl2.exe has stopped working; error, nevermind singleplayer.
Thus rendering my Gmod as a useless wase of hard drive space.
SORT IT OUT, NOW!!
Where is the solution then?
Garry, I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and time you put into Garry's Mod. You really made one of the best mods on the market. I am sorry that you have a lot of people that disrespect you and only see you for your flaws. Not everyone is perfect guys but you have to at least give them a chance to fix their mistakes. As I see it Garry did nothing wrong. Keep up the good work GMOD Team!
Admin addons are no longer working. (War Of The Servers II?)
Single player is crashing.
Multiplayer is now unplayable.
Aiming on weapons is far off, animations/sounds no longer work.
Some spawn icons are purple and black checkered.
Just about every addon no longer works.
everyone with ulx try updating your svn version and if you dont have the svn i suggest you get it, it will fix the problem
Anyone know the fix for TacoScript2? It seems that the patch broke this too.
FUCKING SAME FOR ME
YOU FUCKED YOUR OWN MOD UP OMG.
Good update MATERIAL, but the whole game is collapsing at this point. I was playing earlier and EVERYTHING was messed up. Hit boxes are offset, everyone is in ragdoll mode while moving. I got shot through a WALL in TTT while Traitor, if you even know what that means… Just saying that the update's material ITSELF was good, but the game is a little destroyed right now… Would love a fix real soon like what happened with the Engineer bug in TF2 just yesterday.
GARRY PLEASE REVERT IT BACK TO LAST UPDATE!!REMOVE THIS UPDATE.ALSO CAPS IS FUN =3
Darnit line 4 on the first spawn icon so badly looks like Sims 1 >.< lol, I still like the felling it gives of an old amazing game though.
Isn't it a little bit drastic to roll back all the way to update 25?
So would this update be considered the gmod12 one or would that be the engine update?
It's a typo, he meant 75.
It broke my Improved Wiring Tool :-(
Okay so there are some problems.
1. hitboxes have been screwed up, makes some gamemodes unplayable
2. random crashing
thats all ive noticed since the update.
The day Garry develops software for medical use is the day I drop my private health cover.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ALLL MY FUCKING 3rd PERSON MODELS ARE FUCKEDDDD FIX THIS SHIT
pricka
