Commit 185851 on main makes surface.DrawPoly throw an error when given fewer than 3 vertices, fixes ropes turning invisible in a specific multicore setup and restores sk_auto_reload_time.

robotboy655: "Made it throw an error when giving it less than 3 verts" (commit 185851).

robotboy655: it should be fixed on the dev beta when it next updates.

Commit 4e35e7 on main fixes the spawnmenu middle mouse click regression, makes the spawnmenu survive addons that provide incomplete NPC weapon data, and replaces the shipped edited Infected materials with a fallback done in code.

nykez reported that on his 128-slot server some players see other players' heads stretched into huge polygons since the September update. robotboy655 replied that SetFlexWeight/SetFlexScale were never clamped, it's not model specific, and a reproducible case is needed.

DarthTealc asked to rename the x86-64 branch because people still think they need it for CEF. robotboy655 closed the request: renaming would boot everyone off the branch (Steam has no branch rename), and it makes more sense to make the branch unnecessary and delete it sooner.

Minou-6 asked to increase the bodypart limit for playermodels. robotboy655 replied there is no bodypart limit in the source code as far as he can tell, and a bodygroup request would be a duplicate; it was closed as not planned.

RaphaelIT7 reported that GMODLUA_GetUserType uses a static, non-thread-local buffer for the userdata type name, so threads with different Lua states can clash.

wrefgtzweve asked GMod to answer A2S_INFO, A2S_PLAYER, A2S_RULES and similar queries itself instead of passing them to Steam via HandleIncomingPacket.

Akabenko proposed supporting 65536-unit maps through a GMod-specific BSP revision, without modifying vphysics.dll to avoid the licensing issues around physics.

RealGlorp reported that a named light_environment driven by engine.LightStyle updates world lightmaps but static props lose the sun after the first change and never get it back. Closed on 6 October; commit efb205 fixes engine.LightStyle only updating static props once.

Akabenko asked to stop overwriting the original L4D2 .vmt files and instead set the Infected shader's fallback to VertexLitGeneric. It was closed as completed on 5 October; commit 4e35e7 does the fallback in code.

wrefgtzweve asked to allow SQLite VACUUM in GMod: there is no good way to clean up the bloated sqlite db without vacuuming it externally.

miguelnunez64 opened a Helix pull request: the Act plugin forgot to restore the player's position when exiting a sequence with an offset.

IBRS-4Ever asked to restore Half-Life 2's automatic reload of holstered weapons (sk_auto_reload_time), useful in EP2's Cave Defense. It was closed as a duplicate; commit 185851 restored sk_auto_reload_time (requires gmod_suit 1).

robotboy655: the placeholders were made override-able on the dev beta / future update.

ZehMatt reported that moving entities into triggers with SetPos never fires Touch events, because SetPos/Teleport lack the PhysicsTouchTriggers call that UTIL_SetOrigin has in the Source SDK.

The17thDoctor reported that a surface.DrawPoly() call with fewer than 3 vertices in PostDrawOpaqueRenderables breaks later calls in the same hook.

Astralcircle reported that Lua errors with malformed data throw invalid UTF-8 code in markup.lua while the menu's Problems tab parses them. CornerPin could not reproduce it with error("\xF5") in any realm, and the issue was closed as not planned.

TeddiO reported that a Win32 server started with +tv_enable 1 crashes on changelevel, reproducible on a clean install with Sandbox. robotboy655 replied it should already be fixed on the dev beta.
