  • func_conveyor now pushes physics props as well
  • Better match view model hands (gloves) for male11, male12, male17 and MossmanArctic player models

  • Duplicator tool changes
    • Improve rendering of the duplication bounds when intersecting with world
    • Improve spawn position calculation to avoid spawning duplications in walls
    • Show selected duplication name/icon in context menu

  • Dynamic resupply entity changes (half-Life 2 campaigns)
    • Use Player's max armor value instead of hardcoded 100
    • Use "canon" values for max ammo of each ammo type (instead of 9999), so it spawns more useful ammo types instead of shotgun ammo most of the time

  • Updated Rebel texture sheets (NPC and player models) to fix a small texturing issue on the gloves (Community Contribution)
  • Fixed Alyx playermodel coloring covering some wrong areas (Community Contribution)

  • Case insensitive search and arrow key animation switching for spawnicon editor (Community Contribution)

  • Added TTTRadarScan hook (Community Contribution)

    • Instead, spawn the entity only when asked to, i.e. CargoVisible key value is set before Entity.Spawn is called (maps), or SetCargoHopperVisibility input is used on the car. This input can now also be used to properly disable the functionality by doing SetCargoHopperVisibility 0
    • This means that Sandbox Jalopy no longer uses 2 edicts, and will not be able to hold a magnusson device in the invisible holder (unless explicitly enabled beforehand)
  • Fixed numerous potential crash issues
  • Don't reset Player Counts on serverside Lua Refresh of Sandbox-derived gamemodes (Community Contribution)

  • Fixed leaks with CProceduralTexturePanel - fixes color picker preview in particle editor breaking after a few uses
  • Fixed initial angle snap for thirdperson camera (TF2 SDK)

  • Applied proposed SV_PackEntity optimization (Community Contribution)
  • Disabled DMenuOption adjustments
    • Clicking disabled options no longer closes all menus
    • Disabled options no longer react to hover events (visually)
  • Do not forcibly crash the server if player_connect event failed to create - now prints a warning and continues on
  • Added texture name to ShaderAPIDX8::CreateD3DTexture warning, and add the likely fail reason to help fix the issue
  • Changed "gamemode is nil" crashes into Lua errors
  • Merge some func_tracktrain changes from Portal 2/CS: GO

  • Made light entities non-networked to make room for more of other networked entities. No functionality loss.

  • Reload soundscripts when games are mounted - fixes no voice lines playing in Half-Life 2 episodic maps when the game was started without HL2 mounted, and then HL2 is mounted.
  • Clamp bot player count in the server browser, and apply all clamping to serverlist.Query
  • Force lowercase filenames for CUtlFilenameSymbolTable on non windows platforms as well, should help maps on Linux (TF2 SDK)

Developer tool changes

Hammer

  • Removed non existent prop_vehicle_cannon from the FGD
  • Update ambient_generic radius description in Hammer to hopefully prevent confusion
  • func_tracktrain - Added missing spawnflag (4) to Hammer, updated description of "HL1 train" spawnflag
  • Added "Has Gun" keyvalue to prop_vehicle_jeep in Hammer
  • Removed non functional"HUD Locator Precache" spawnflag from prop_vehicle_jeep in Hammer
  • Fixed prop_vehicle_jeep having static prop key values in Hammer that are not applicable to it

    • Added some descriptions here and there, where there were previously none
    • Deduplicated some key value definitions, such as skin and fade distance stuff

  • Remove "Ember type" from env_embers in Hammer (did nothing)
  • Fixed startsound/stopsound for some entities in Hammer having invalid default values (Community Contribution)

Map Compile Tools

  • VBSP now adds extra keyvalues to worldspawn about itself that could be useful for debugging:
    • "vbsp_version" which will contain the VBSP compile date (of the map compiler, not the map)
    • "vbsp_exe" with 2 possible values "gmod" and "gmod_64". Indicates the map was compiled using GMod's VBSP. (32bit and 64bit)
  • VBSP: Adjust "Invalid value %f for -maxlightmapdim" warning for better clarity

Other

  • Added search and Copy Name button to Particle Editor (-tools mode)
  • Particle Editor: Reset particle preview when it was hidden and became visible - workaround for some particle previews just becoming blank after a while of not being simulated.
  • StudioMDL: Make $maxverts optional (only has an effect when used in a .qc file)
  • Minor adjustments to HLMV.exe
    • Make the minimum size bigger (1200x800, from 640x700) so all UI elements fit without resizing
    • Title always contains program name (instead of just the opened model name)
    • Prevent materials being deduplicated in the material list, so all missing materials now show

Lua API Changes

Additions

Fixes

Changes

  • Prevent entity precaches on map start from calling GM:OnEntityCreated/Removed hooks
  • Add more entities to protected list (cannot be parented, overwritten or removed)
    • gmod_gamerules, ai_network, soundent, instanced_scripted_scene, ai_ally_speech_manager, scene_manager, npc_barnacle_tongue_tip
  • Entity:GetModel force lowercases weapon world models too (It was already forcing lowercase on all other entities)

  • Apply some random-ish patches from LuaJIT repo, including a memory allocator fix
  • Made Entity:SetLightingOriginEntity use model illumination position when given an entity with a model
  • RichText:SetText now discards \r and \0 characters.

  • Applied correct rendering matrices for GM:PreDrawHUD and GM:PostDrawHUD, so calling cam.Start2D is no longer necessary
  • Moved calling of GM:PreDrawHUD slightly later, so it renders in the 2D view, just like GM:PostDrawHUD does
  • Moved GM:PostDrawEffects to be called slightly sooner than before, so it is called in the 3D view, not after it, and also is consistently called only when GM:PreDrawEffects is, not at all times.
  • Make game.GetMapVersion also return the BSP version
  • Allowed render.Capture to run with console open when a custom render target is set
  • chat.AddText now handles numbers like expected

Deletions

  • Blocked fs_ convars from Lua

network_test exclusive changes

The network_test beta includes changes that are not network compatible with other versions of the game, i.e. You will not be able to join existing servers on that beta.

Additions

  • Nothing so far.

Fixes

  • Fixed viewmodel bob spazzing out at high CurTime
  • Fixed CurTime being clamped to float serverside
  • Fixed networking of ammo types for weapons
  • Change Player:ScreenFade networking message to just use floats, so fade times are not truncated unexpectedly
  • Improved networking precision of world clicker
    • This fixes VERY jumpy tool ghosts in singleplayer when using context menu aiming, especially close to crosshair.
  • Fixed health/maxhealth not networking in singleplayer for Nextbots and NPCs

Changes

  • Change CurTime to use doubles (experimental)
  • Increase FOV networking bits from 8 to 16
    • Since they are floats, they need a bit extra to maintain precision

    • It was using EntIndex, which is not reliable and could cause wrong entities to be used for those hooks.
  • sv_visiblemaxplayers changes

    • Add convar limits to sv_visiblemaxplayers (-1 (off) to 128)
    • Removed unused globals set by loading.lua
    • Removed server data printed to console from loading screen (most of that data is duplicated by console print from server anyway)
    • Updated the aforementioned console print from server to include more data, such as gmod version and server name
    • Updated the color of the aforementioned console print (SVC_Print) to be unique
  • Added type checking to Entity:PhysicsInitConvex's second argument

  • Removed various unused networked fields
    • CHL2MP_Player.m_iPlayerSoundType and related stuff, CBasePlayer.m_szLastPlaceName, CBasePlayer.m_fOnTarget
    • Removed some unused NPC networking stuff - PingEffect and speed modification hammer input stuff that never worked
    • m_nScannerDisabledWeapons and m_nScannerDisabledVehicle for vehicles
  • Removed now unused autoaim_max_deflect convar
  • Removed ent_autoaim concommand
  • Removed unused usermessages SayText2, VoiceSubtitle, HintText, KeyHintText, AmmoDenied (and their clientside handlers)
