Most of my time developing GMod now is simply forfilling Lua requests for people. This is pretty cool because it’s easy for me and opens up new doorways with each bind. For example someone might say “Hey I want to tell if a player is crouching” or “I want to force a player into a vehicle”.
Which is pretty cool. Sometimes I get an idea for a gamemode and I turn into the guy asking for stuff. That’s what I was doing tonight. I was pretty happy to find that 95% of the stuff I wanted to do was already do-able from Lua. Here’s a screenshot of what I did. It’s an AWP with a super cool sniper rifle thing! The scope is drawn serverside. The server specifies the material and the positions and it’s drawn on the client.
So yeah, everything is looking good for a 28th release. There’s only one major thing left to do. Fix the colour mod. after that it’s just smooth sailing to try to get everyone to polish their gamemodes. There’s about 5 different gamemodes right now which should definately be in Gmod9.. and it’s going to be about 10-15mb!
Yes garry this is great.keep up the good work!
sexy sniper scope.
Is there any way to get every entity within a certain radius of an object?
Oh, awesome stuff again :D I simply love things like the screenshot :D I’m mostly having fun doing pictures with the Gmod so I can’t wait the colour mod to be back.
Wow, Garry. This is going to be the best construction mod ever made! You always got something new and cool in every update.
Nice. Will LUA scripts be in .txt format? Or am I being an idiot?
Lookin’ good!
Question : Is the scope material dynamically changed? Or does the server have to restart for to take affect?
Lookin’ good!
Is the scope dynamically changed, or does the server need to restart for it to take affect?
fucking awesome! This is the mod of all mods!
Im happy to see you updating your frequently before the release, satisfies people.
JOY!
updating yout blog frequently*
very nice material. I think you should release add-on LUA gametypes (officially, from you) that you come up with after the release.
Wow whata-day for me I bought Quake 4 and Shadow of the colosuss, and now a Gmod release date?
Thanks Garry you made my day.
I always have been a fan of garry’s mod since the v2.0 days AND THIS WILL BE THE BEST INSTALLMENT!
sooo…garry, what are the chances of having a supercool save thing…like when you build a bunch of stuff on a map that you could save it till next time…but for multiplayer, obviosly thrusters wont work…but just to keep freezes, welds, etc. anyways, then people could join your game and spawn normally but all your stuff would just be awaiting new thrusters……just somehting i’d love to see if al all possible (:
Damn, that is one hell of a uber scope.
will this update fix what steam had messed up
^^ same question…….
I already marked the 28th RED in my calendar!!!!
i cant wait to get that great new release!
i am liking the look of the update so far :). You should have a mailing list we can join to be notified of the update as soon as it is released, that would be good.
Best of luck finishing, Blake
looking very good. looking fwd. to the release. congradulations on all the LUA work. I definetly think that this is like a milestone for the GMod development and community. Once again, great work Garry.
I support Garry’s mod 100%. Excellent work, Garry. I look forward to enjoying LUA scripting (i hope it is a user friendly script since i wanna make my own user-games too!)
LUA scripting should open a whole new doorway in garry’s mod. However, are LUA scripts map specific? is it possible to load a seperate script using a line of code in the admin console? :D That would be really sweet.
Looking forward to the 28th. :-}
One Word! YAY!
Keep the screenshots coming Garry! Only a week to go!
I hope he won’t ban people who played leaked versions. It will be terrible.
So I can just say that garry made the huge work, and I want to say:”Thanks”.
And now what I really think:
CANTwaitFORgmod9_CANTwaitFORgmod9_CANTwaitFORgmod9_CANTwaitFORgmod9_CANTwaitFORgmod9_CANTwaitFORgmod9_WTF_OMG_LOL_ROFL.
BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN~BAN
AWESOME! Looking forward to October 28th! :D
Smooth garry, very smooth. Looking forward to 28th, just one question. It seems that you have included just about everything possible with the LUA in this version, whats left for v10?
Keep up the good work.
Im really supporting Garry’s Mod til 100%. I would become Gold Member if i had a card to pay with on Paypal :/
Anyway, i hope that LUA will not be that hard scripting as i have believed. I have checked the Garry’s Mod-wiki and looked at some LUA-tutorials, bindings etc. So i hope i will learn gamemodes fast.
Then i want to know if it can be possible to create a LUA, that you can save games online with? Like it remembers your X and Y on the map, all the stuff’s X and Y. Just a quick idea, but i dont believe more than 25% that it can be done.
Well anyway, good luck of the finishing!
6 days, it will be cool but guys think how cool version 15 or 20 will be..
hmm .. the old garrys mod was … creating hl² thing and stuck them together .. now it is .. a mod where you can make own mods … i mean its cool the lua scripting … but the hl² feeling goes away
Hey, I guess Garry’s Mod isn’t just about building anymore, it’s about so much more. Scripting, Mapping, Building, Making comic strips, the possibilities are endless, now it’s an interactive mod where you can make unique game modes to suprise everyone, I don’t think the Hl2 feeling goes away at all.
Meh, in my opinion GMod is an all in one mod, it has the power to do whatever you want with it with extra game modes, and still having ragdolls too (for posing as such). This is probably usefull for people who want to make real mods and want to test weapons, maps and concepts first.
I’m sure the 9.0 release will increase popularity.
Well, with LUA you basically dont need any other mod to play. You can make alot of gamemodes with it, hopefully CTF(=D)
very nice Garry! thats just amazing!
dude u rock =D=D=D=D=D=D=D=D
This is really cool garry, keep up the good work.
Garry you rock. I have had Garry’s mod since about v3 or 2. Like above said. This is gonna be the best yet. KEEP IT UP GARRY!
no one has still answerd my question, will this update fix what steam has messed up?
Cool i like the sniper scope thing :)
Great job Garry! Hope the colour mod works out all right :)
I havn’t read anything about garry’s mod i just came on steam to have a little online play and i noticed some games then i came on to this and read your comments… what would you say about this mod ? is it worth getting ?
Sweetness McCool (I used that name in a Half-Life 2 DM Tourny)
Hoo boy, I can’t wait! I hope this works with the new version of Steam.
I’ve been waiting for a month and ooooh the suspense is killing me. Keep up the good work, Garry!
Cool! Glad to hear your making good progress. The LUA stuff looks great. Just hope I’ll be able to find some tutorials or something, because I really want to learn to use it! Keep up the good work man!
That’s not how a fucking scope looks, you dumbass Euro!
Just to let you know, the new version of http://gmod.garry.tv is a bit fucked up in Firefox… just to let you know.
hey, its good for something thats drawn serverside
Greek you suck, he did that to show us all the different things you can. So go chuge olive oil and become a fat lard if you aren’t already you stupid moron.
Greek you suck, he did that to show us all the things that can be done. So go chuge olive oil and become a fat lard if you aren’t one already you freaking moron.
too bad my steam doesn’t update, instead it gets stuck on 0%. Hopefully, i can fix before the 28th.
Looking good garry!
hmm 28th theres something special i just dont kno right now what
fedt:P
spadeded why did you copy me then change some of the words?
i was fixing it
Garry me-man your a genious, and thanks for the greatest game mod ever
i love you really i do kiss me
I hope that Valve is watching you Garry. I think you would be a great addition to their team.
Is there a fix for the overlays and post processing in GMod 9?
Also nobody click on Greeks link!! Lemonparty.org is a sick trick that people pull.
To make that easy to see:
nobody click on Greeks link!! Lemonparty.org is a sick trick that people pull. Garry can you remove his post/link.
Hope my steam updates by then (it sticks at 0%) and garry hope you get it done for the 28th.
oh good eeeeh, i thougt by trick you ment something like a loud noise not that! aah,
must wash eyes…
133t shit garry! 133t shit…
Are the custom mods fixed? Is there going to be anything to help comic-makers?
That just OWNS Garry! I like that you only release it if it’s perfect :)
Add something SOPME!
FUCKING AWESOME!
Great work garry, I would support you, but I don’t have a credit card…
Oh wait I stole my uncle’s visa and payed for the gold membership. That’s what family is for, right?
I’m really diggin the re-vamp to the offical Gmod site
Friday I’m hosting a Halloween party so my nerdiness might not be active enough to stop me from dirty dancing with the ladies…
but then again, it may be active.
what is a lua???????i have no computer smarts whatsoever,so…can i make my own gamemode witho’ut knowing anything?
I hope it comes out the 28th.
JESUS GREEK, THATS FUCKING DISCUSTING…
If your old, fat, and gay, thats your buisness, but keep it off of public forums, nobody wants to see that but you.
I have ONE question concerning ping. To oversimplyfy this question, will all this LUA business effect ping? Now I dont mean to complain really, merely a comment, but gmod 8 I think has made lag issues worse comparing it to gmod 7a, it is pointless joining a server full of spamming fools and high pings. This never used to be a problem in 7a… So anyway please tell me the lag issues have improved! (and before people blame my connection, I have a perfectly fine 2mb adsl line)
Hi I am corwin my friends call me cory.I am a very big fan of your mod and I play v7a (for cs)and like the ai add on and I was wondering if you could make gmod 9 have the same abilities as if there were an ai add on.That would be cool.ps:could you not use the limit thing.
Good point. I hope LUA doesn’t screw over our ping..
Mmm… garry, would you tell the nice techs at my local computer store to GIVE ME BACK MY COMPUTER so I can play around with the new binds, please? :)
Looking very much forwards to this Garry. Great work!:D keep it up ! ;)
AWESOME DUDE im looking forward to the realease
Wooohoooo!! i can’t wait untill its out.28th is my sis’s bday and 26th is mine so yay very good week for me.

THANKS FOR ANOTHER G8 RELESE
this is cool my gmod wouldnt work earlier
Garry…
Your mod is Awesome…
Although…
One thing your missing…
You need a Model Changer…
and You need way more props…
if you chould pull up all the objects from HL2, HL2 DM, HL 2 CTF, and Counter-Strike:Source…
and many more Objects to props…
other than that 9.0 is more than Perfect…
you’ve done a very good job on the new updates i will continue to download your newest updates on your mod…
THANKS!
-The Crow

Hi there,
Anyone have any idea why I can’t play GMod online at all? I downloaded the most recent version today and my server list is blank. It’s annoying me quite a bit, since I really want to get back into GMod with all the new features (the last time I played was on GMod 8.3). I am aware that the last update was only released yesterday but surely someone else must’ve downloaded it?
This might help:
