Jesus Christ it’s hot right now.
I played JetBoom’s Zombie Survival on his server a few days ago. 32 player server full. It was great, reminded me a lot of Sven Coop. We were all in an attic and there were breakable beams that needed like 20000 damage to break them. Even though there wasn’t any point in breaking them there were about 25 people standing around knifing them for 5 minutes until they broke.
I didn’t work on GMod so much last week, with it being Jesuses Birthday or something, but I got back into it on Thursday.
It seems that a lot of the slow loading complaints might be due to the SpawnIcons. When you load a game for the first time it precaches them so they’re there when you show the spawn menu. I never really had a problem with this before, but I guess now that people have tons of model packs, it could become a problem. So I made it not precache, instead they’ll load when they’re being viewed. It performs alright on my computer (but I kind of expected it to). Hopefully it won’t be that slow that it’d cause a problem. Much better than loading 2,500 icons you aren’t going to see or use anyway.
A couple of people requested some specific Lua binds, so I did that.. here’s my Test Frame.
The HTML thing should provide some interesting things.. Especially when people start rendering them to textures to make billboards or some kind of Online Skin Replacement thing. One thing I didn’t know about the HTML VGUI control is that you can clear it and shoot custom HTML at it. That could provide for some interesting stuff for scripters.
I messed around with the join box too. So when you’re downloading the Lua scripts you can look at a webpage that the server wants you to look at.
SteamReview posted some stuff about the achievements stuff coming to Steam. It’s nice to see the site getting updated again. I never quite saw what the big deal is with matchmaking. It’s easier than refreshing serverlists I guess. I’ve probably already said how much I love achievements on the 360. I’d do a white piss if they went through the old games and added them, it’d give me a reason to revisit them (To add a bigger number next to my name).
The Portal Device has continually been updated, and now it’s at 0.85b. I should really add some frustum controls for this poor guy.
I moved the DNS for garrysmod.com and garrysmod.org to freedns.afraid.org. You can join and pull off a subdomain for your server or some related site or something.
Oh yeah, hold onto your fucking hats, because Helk is finally gonna update his blog after a month of being bitched at by me.
It’s actually 0.85 at the moment, but what the hell.
The next thing you should re-code is the slider. That thing is so unstable and it could have so much potential, like making roller coasters. Server theme parks would be cool. k thx bye
“So when you’re downloading the Lua scripts you can look at a webpage that the server wants you to look at.”
Oh dear god… Goatse… Lemonparty… the horror!!!
It’ll be nice. The ability to browse sites *you* want will be even nicer!
Dammit Garry, you’re so damn British.
Agreed with Spaztik. Slider is really unstable and should be re-coded.
“So when you’re downloading the Lua scripts you can look at a webpage that the server wants you to look at.”
Yeah, what Max said. Some cruel server admins could put some fu***d up site to show there. Like lemonparty, goatse, fingerslam, meatspin and some other wierd and fu***d up things.
Yeaaahh, you should have the option to close the webpage, i dont want to see meatspin. Zombie mod seems pretty cool
I cant wait ’till the next version of the portal gun comes out because there still is quite a few bugs, but don’t get me wrong it’s still mint.
How many money hats did it take to buy your system?
Perhaps a confirmation should first appear, asking if this particular website would like to be looked at. Don’t forget maintain a simple blacklist containing shock-sites and mirrors of shock-sites.
I don’t know what ActiveX and JavaScript capabilities the VGUI html shit has, but both should be disabled by deafult, to prevent any misuse of the two.
However, its cool, and its pros far outweigh meatsp- I mean cons. ;D
Thanks for the mention; I would indeed love me some frustrumability, as well as a properly-aspect-ratio’d RenderView. ;)
Anyhow, the HPD is actually at 0.85 but garrysmod.org keeps dumping me back at the main page when I try to upload it there. The latest link is http://www.mm-3.net/syfiles/mHPD085.zip.
Awesome changes!
GMod will be much more than just a game…
Sorry about that mahalis, it should be fixed now. The max upload size was limited to 8mb – it’s 200mb now.
Holy shit over 5,000 bux for that computer?!? That’s ridiculously exorbitant!
Thanks Garry – got it up now. http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=8458 :)
I’m glad Helk is finally going to update…”I haven’t forgot” my ass.
i’m worried about that “view the webpage the server wants you to” thing. someone could set it to view malicious pages.
Are you worried about the MOTD on CS/DoD/HL2MP servers?
Holy shit Garry, you rock so hard
Awesome HTML with Lua. You could make a Computer In lua that alows you to browse the internet!
^ that would be a great Idea!
will the HTML thing support such things as JavaScript or CSS ? That would be awesome.
Hoffa1337, I’m guessing VGUI’s HTML support is built around Trident, Internet Explorer’s rendering engine. So it would support everything that IE supports, including JS, CSS, and even Flash.
That all depends on what the client’s Internet Explorer installation was like. If they don’t have Flash, they don’t have Flash.
Filtering out ActiveX should be done if it’s not already- some people have it enabled but it can be vastly destructive.
while you’re busy mayby change the we are now downloading files that you haven’t downloaded or files *THAT* have changed since you last downloaded them
What happened to Constructionary?
And you really should make the duplicator like the vmf-copy gun. Just copy everything into a copy group with one left click and paste the group with right click. You can choose groups with the gui-menu. That’s a lot more comfortable than what we have now.
Love the idea to put screamers on the join page xD
omfg garry do you own a Dell XPS 710 H2C?! If so how much was the price for it? =P
I was playing zombie survival with Garry when he was taking the screenshots, i can tell because the bullseye black spray in the first shot was sprayed by me, and i remember some of the chat they did.
It was funny, some guy was plainly denying garry’s existance, even though his steamID said it was him.
And i believe later on garry went and found someone’s id and said he was going to ban them xD.
garry hii say how mutcch the computer cost to you and can you give us the components thet in it
I love how everyone hordes you in the first screenshot. Nice.
It is only a matter of time now before you get an internet browser in gmod. Then we dont have to minimize gmod every time to have to go out at the internet.
This open a whole new world for Lua coders.
w00t! Sven!
What if the Server forces you to shock site?
Then you’ll just have to suck it up. But since the VGUI HTML Control is using IE for rendering, you should easily remove any shock site, and replace it with a blank page :)
WHERES MY LINUX BINARIES? I WANT MY BINARIES
Wow garry, I am looking forward to the HTML controls, and the multiline text boxes for my mIRC interface.
I really really like the idea for the download dialog to have a webpage displayed. That can really help server’s increase their community involvement from the server’s player base.
buzz buzz buzz
can any one tell me where to download garry’s mod?
I hate achievements. I’ve played the xbox 360 for several months and i can’t get past 120
garry do you think you could put a reat ail version of gmod 10 in stores
How and what are u guys using on the pic to show up like that?
i dont like the zombie survivel much. it wuld be better if the zombies heads wernt constantly bobbing arround so i can git a friking head shot so they will respawn at a spawn zone. cuz if you do a gut-buster or sumthing they will respawn whare they die
Hmmmmm, I see.
There is your problem, comments section adds trolls.
This will cost you extra, no?
