GMod Community News Commits, GitHub & Discord. One feed. 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.
The empty model fix also reached the x86-64 beta separately in commit 7e5aa8, together with the earlier "Handle 0 byte model files crashing the game" change.
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.
He says both happen on all branches and have for a long time. For now, the only reliable way to switch gamemodes is to quit the map and do it in the main menu. No developer replies yet.
Commit 693484 on main fixes is3DSkybox not resetting when returning from hooks, ships a higher quality Eli Vance face texture from the S1 repo and removes some unused libraries from the menu state.
.ain was removed from the extension whitelistEntity:SetPoscam.End2D underflow error messageBreavyTF2 asked for a higher resolution Eli face texture. robotboy655 first said none exists; BreavyTF2 pointed to the modelsrc folder, robotboy655 replied "I didn't expect it to be in models folder", and commit 693484 includes the higher quality texture from the S1 repo.
Akis-02 asked for a proper fix of combine_booth_tall01b.vmt instead of removing the normal map. robotboy655 said the current fix looks more consistent with the other material on the model and closed it; commit c18cba adds $normalmapalphaenvmapmask commented out.
Commit 71ca28 on main adds 9 new Combine-related props from the licensee repo and fixes engine.CloseServer claiming the server is shutting down when it is not.
engine.CloseServer no longer falsely claims the server is shutting downfile.Read blocklist updated so it doesn't affect file and folder names in the DATA pathcombine_booth_tall01b.vmt made less extremely glossyAkis-02 suggested unused Combine models that could be added for building. robotboy655 added a selection and fixed up the material on the tall booth; commit 71ca28 "Added 9 new combine related props from licensee repo".
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.
