GMod Update 161

$

Hey guys. So it took a long time for update 160 to come out.. and it came out this morning and there was a bunch of crap that went wrong.

Weapons were firing too fast, some people had a missing texture over their screen, crouching and jumping got you stuck in the ceiling and on some systems was insanely low.

So. Weapons firing too fast was fixed. This was a really really dumb oversight made by me – and not picked up by anyone (even though it had been on the SVN version for a month and a half.. blagh.). I rolled back the stuff that caused this until I can do it properly.

Missing texture was caused by having CS:GO or Portal 2 mounted. It was overriding the motion blur material using some stuff we don’t have in our version of the engine. So I included the material with GMod so it overrides everything.

Getting stuck in the ceiling was a bug in my crouch bug fix. Bugs on top of bugs. I think I fixed it.

The low FPS was caused by having LuaJIT enabled by default. Which is kind of funny because it’s meant to make it faster. My feeling is that this is down to one of two things. Either it’s a problem only on AMD CPUs.. which is why it never appeared in any of our tests here in the office.. or it’s something in Wiremod or some other addon that’s dynamically compiling code over and over. Either way we’re back to having LuaJIT disabled by default. If you want to benchmark you can enable jit again by running with the command line “-withjit”.

I have sent a quick patch to Valve for that last update.

  • FIXED Player color errors
  • FIXED Weapons without viewmodels crashing

A few people are complaining that they’re missing textures in some maps with the new update. If you’re having these problems then make sure you have Counter-Strike:Source installed and make sure it’s being mounted into G(arrys)Mod. Try running CS:S. Check the console on startup for any errors. Try validaing CS:S and G(arrys)Mod.

Every wonder what would it would be like if HL2 and Garry’s Mod were real and everyone stopped phoning Dr Kleiner and he got sad?

 

Well – a bit like this I suppose?

Steampipe Switchover

Next week we’re switching over to Steam Pipe. Here’s what that means for you.

 

If you run a server

If you run a server then the way you download and update the server is going to change. The old way won’t work anymore.

The new way is described here. There’s also plenty of detail on Valve’s wiki.

 

If you play Garry’s Mod

For the player the initial switchover will be the hardest part. Any addons you have manually installed might not get carried over – so you might want to back up your Garry’s Mod folder before making the switch.

You will get some benefits though. Load times should be vastly reduced. Updates will be more frequent. There will be a development branch that you can opt into to receive bleeding edge updates. You’ll be able to choose which hard drive you want to install onto.

 

If you mod Garry’s Mod

Modding will be a bit easier in the new system. All of the files are extracted to disk instead of being in a gcf. This means you can easily browse the files to see how stuff is done.

The development branch will be better for modders – because requests can be added instantly. Your addon or gamemode can be tested with the development branch and problems can be found before we ship the update to the release branch.

The switch has been made. We’re now on Steam Pipe. So here’s some things to review – because I know people have probably not read anything about converting to Steam Pipe before they had to.

 

For server owners:

 

For players:

If GMod is failing to launch:

  1. Right click on Garry’s Mod in Steam
  2. Go to properties
  3. Click on “Local Files”
  4. Click on “Verify Integrity Of Game Cache”

 

For more help and to report issues please browse and post in this thread right here.

You have waited a long time.. and this is a big one.. so servers will need to be restarted before you’ll be able to join them.

Fixed lamps projecting backwards

This annoying visual bug that has been there since lamps existed is now finally gone for good.

Improved mounting system

You will most likely not notice it but the mounting system has been given a heavy lifting. This means a slight decrease in load times, less remounting, and no more texture issues on changelevels.

Fixed gamemode name reported by Steam not being updated after a changelevel

The gamemode name used to be sent to Steam’s master server only when a server was started, so it wouldn’t be updated after a changelevel. Now it is sent at regular intervals along with the current map name.

Minor Half Life 2 campaign fixes

A lot of minor fixes have been oriented towards making the HL2 campaign fully playable. For instance, the GMan intro now plays correctly, ropes should now be properly positioned on all levels, NPCs now receive the correct amount of damage from HL2 weapons (the shotgun was notably weak against them), and metrocops no longer get stuck into a T-pose when attacked.

Lots of requested Lua fixes and features

Notable additions include new BASS library bindings allowing more control over sounds being played, advanced matrix manipulation functions, a hook which allows you to override sounds before they are played, and another hook which overrides bullets fired from any weapon. You decide what to do with them!
A lot of Lua functions also had more or less important issues pointed out by various coders, most of those are now fixed.

And now for the…

Exploit Fix Released

$

An exploit was released last night that took advantage of the Source Engine’s file sending mechanism which made it possible to send files with any extension to the client or server. This exploit is likely still active in all other Source Engine games so I’m not going to go into specific details about it.

Needless to say that this was exploited in Garry’s Mod on Windows to send dlls to clients and servers. As far as I am aware the exploit wasn’t used to do anything malicious beyond propagating itself, spamming chat and changing server names. But to be safe I would recommend that you consider deleting your Garry’s Mod install and starting fresh. It might be a good idea to do an online virus scan too.

The patch I released this morning attempts to clean up any mess left behind by these exploits and patches the variety of methods which they used. If anyone has further information about the exploits, or any exploits left un-patched please email me personally at garrynewman@gmail.com.

A minor update containing a few hotfixes for last update just came out. Restarting your servers is strongly recommended.
If there are any persisting issues left, please report them on the official GitHub issues page.

GLIBC_2.15 dependency on Linux dedicated servers

Some Linux dedicated server owners may have noticed that the game now requires glibc 2.15. This is a necessary change since the version we were using before was really outdated. If your server is running on a relatively old distro which does not include that library, you can find instructions on how to install it here: Linux Dedicated Server Hosting.

Fixed non-ASCII characters being removed from player names

This was accidentally introduced in an attempt to fix an exploit which would let servers tamper with a client’s configuration file, sorry for that! Everything should be back to normal now.

Fixed model scaling not working correctly on some models

Entity:SetModelScale and Entity:EnableMatrix had an issue with some models which would cause transformations to be applied twice. This issue is now fixed, you can see the difference below:

This will break scripts that rely on the old broken behaviour, so I also added Entity:SetLegacyTransform for those who want their current scripts fixed with minimal effort. This function basically brings the old scaling behaviour back for the entity it is called on, so it should be used exclusively as a temporary fix.

Full Changelog

  • FIX Fixed plugin_load not doing anything
  • FIX Fixed players being removed when sitting in a vehicle parented to another entity
  • FIX Fixed non-ASCII characters being removed from player names
  • FIX Fixed tabs in RichText selection
  • FIX Fixed properties not correctly working on vanilla
  • FIX Fixed Color.__tostring not outputting alpha
  • FIX Fixed render.CapturePixels crashing when used on render targets
  • FIX Fixed Weapon:CallOnClient crashing when called on a weapon owned by a NPC
  • FIX Fixed weapon holdtypes not always updating on the client
  • FIX Fixed player names not updating in scoreboard and voice panels
  • FIX Definitely fixed Entity:SetModelScale and Entity:EnableMatrix applying transformations twice on some models
  • NEW Added Entity:SetLegacyTransform(bool)
  • DEL Removed properties.HaloThink
  • DEL Removed _restart from blocked concommand list

A major update has been released. You will need to restart your servers for players with the new version of the game to join.

Featured changes include stability improvements and various exploit fixes, along with a few handy additions for developers. Here are some of the highlights:

Improved text rendering on OSX

The OSX version of the font system has been heavily reworked for more consistency and better readability. No more tiny text in the console!

Improved networked variables

The previously obsolete NWVars have been remade from scratch and now provide the same features and speed benefits as NetworkVars (formerly known as DTVars). Unlike NetworkVars, NWVars require no prior initialization and are identified by a name rather than a numerical index, making them suitable for every type of entity while minimizing conflicts with other addons.

As a result, the maximum number of NetworkVars per entity has been reduced from 64 to 32 to reduce server load.

Individual texture replacements

Every texture in a model can now be replaced separately using the newly added function Entity:SetSubMaterial, allowing for a near infinite number of wacky combinations.


Workshop publishing tools for Linux and Mac

The tools used to distribute addons for Workshop distribution (gmad and gmpublish) are now available in the Linux and Mac versions of the game. You can learn more about these tools in the wiki.
