Artemking4 found the root cause of the bone 0 problem in IMesh:DrawSkinned: in shaderapidx8.cpp, bone 0 is also loaded as the model matrix, so rendering breaks unless it is reset afterwards. Wrapping the call in cam.PushModelMatrix and the matching pop fixes it, and he asks for bone 0 to be exposed.

Commit 5bca5b on main reworks how 0-byte model files are handled ("Change where it bails so maybe its less error prone?"), fixes prediction error counting for certain fields and adds icons for the 5 new TF2 maps.

Commit 09a162 on main makes the change that had Entity:SetPos fire trigger touch events opt-in via a separate argument, since it caused infinite loops in existing addons such as TTT. The UV behaviour without the sub-pixel adjustment moves to a new function, surface.DrawTexturedRectRawUV, so surface.DrawTexturedRectUV works the old way again.

Added in commit 09a162 and the request was closed as completed: Player:RunConsoleCommand is serverside only, has the same limitations as the global RunConsoleCommand, and some Sandbox tools already use it. The same commit adds lua_refresh_file autocomplete (#3428) and fixes the blurry citizen_sheet_bloody.vtf texture (garrysmod-issues #7116).

Done in commit 09a162 ("Fixed auto complete for lua_refresh_file"); the request was closed.

Fixed: commit 09a162 on main fixes the NPC-related crashes, and the issue was closed.

TotallyARussian reported two long-standing bugs on the x86-64 beta: in #7117, a gamemode changed during a game reverts to the previous one on the next map; in #7118, subscribing to or unsubscribing from an addon while on a server unloads the server's content, turning models into errors.

Asked when the fix reaches x86-64, Rubat said it "should come with the next push".

unknown-gd asked for timer.IsRunning, to go with the new timer.IsPaused.

In #developer-talk, Xenthio explained that his Source 2-style renderer is a replacement for shaderapi plus his own lightmap baker. Baking takes about 40 seconds on a map's first load; after that the map opens instantly.

ArtyomChyornyj2035 reported 0 server FPS and "Connection problem" warnings on entity-heavy maps (x86-64 build 26168646).

In #developer-talk, Evgeny Akabenko called DispGen-Reborn a good tool and a promising option for WorldMachine, but it doesn't support 16-bit PNG, HDR and EXR yet.

pruf reported an error loading a map with a 0-byte .lmp file on dev.

Cynosphere asked for autocomplete for lua_refresh_file.

In #developer-talk, TankNut and DMatter04 saw props spawning as effects on dev. drobotk said that every changelevel changes which models break, and the helicopter bomb becomes an effect after about 12 changelevels. Darth couldn't reproduce it on the same dev build after 25+ changelevels.

In #lua-help, Darmagon asked whether GM:AcceptInput fires when a delayed input starts. Rubat: since there's no delay parameter, it fires when the input actually occurs.

BREEDNKMs reported that NPCs crash when searching for cover after the hEnemy change. ZehMatt added a repro; drobotk: spawning a Crow crashes; TotallyARussian: metrocops crash, only on dev.

In #lua-help, Artemking4 suggested fs_report_sync_opens 1 to check whether files are read twice; drobotk found it opens every time.

In #next-update, Yunhaohku hit a crash showing "funny number -12"; Evgeny Akabenko said the cause wasn't determined, and Blank said it happened to him nonstop since the day before. Rubat asked for a crash dump and linked the crash reporting guide. Later that day Darth said Yunhaohku's crash dump shows an outdated or edited launcher.dll.
