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".

In #next-update, Redox (22 Oct) and Nykez (23 Oct) saw bad argument #1 to 'DrawPoly' (table must contain at least three vertices), for example from cl_arc.lua. On 25 Oct Vitroze asked whether it would be fixed. Nykez said it is a bug fix and code has to be fixed, and Rubat agreed: "its not valid code on your end". Beelzebub posted a one-line patch for the bad math in luabee's arc library.

Commit 291b48 on main removes the LibEdit dependency (SRCDS input on Linux now works like on the x86-64 beta), fixes Linux32 SRCDS under WSL and fixes a wrongful error in Mesh:DrawSkinned with 52 bones.

In #next-update, DMatter04 reported that some addons' InitPostEntity hooks added with hook.Add never run, breaking addons such as Custom FOV. homonovus suggested an addon returns a non-nil value from its hook, and Zaurzo posted a lua_run snippet to find it. On 22 Oct DMatter04 found the culprit, lua/autorun/ultrakill_test_soulorbs.lua from "[DrGBase] ULTRAKILL - Enemies - Act II & Act III", using Zaurzo's whereis tip, and Zaurzo suggested asking the author to fix it.

In #developer-talk, Redox shared a project "made in gmod" that ran smoothly with a group of players. TankNut, after looking at it, said "they've decompiled the game and ported it wholesale". A1steaksa said he isn't impressed if it's AI-made, while Redox said it's too polished to be pure slop. TankNut added he is more interested in the original Ace of Spades than "the Jagex abomination".

In #next-update, Vitroze reported that PANEL:OnMousePressed now always calling MouseCapture breaks VGUI addons such as GmodAdminSuite. Rubat called it an issue with the mod but asked for a repro. Commit bb557c fixed the regression and Vitroze thanked him.

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

drobotk, who is working on an addon to make Portal 2 maps functional, asked to remove the "visual placeholder" entities such as prop_button or implement them properly. BREEDNKMs noted in the thread that Lua can now only override a whitelist of classnames, which grows as people request it. drobotk asked whether the whitelist is published anywhere.
