Improvements

  • •
    DProperties now accept the same row types (names) as the DTVar (Entity:NetworkVar) types are called
  • •
    util.TableToKeyValues and CreateMaterial now throw a type error when given not a table to arguments that expect a table
  • •
    util.StringToType now works with "entity" type ( EntIndex )
  • •
    Updated the continue statement implementation in LuaJIT
  • •
    SpawnmenuContentPanel:SwitchPanel now accepts nil to switch to no panel
  • •
    Entity.SetTable now throws a type error when given not a table (used to silently fail)
  • •
    SurfaceInfo.__tostring now contains the ID of the surface
  • •
    steamworks.DownloadUGC now has an internal queue and displays download progress just like workshop subscriptions would
  • •
    Steamworks library: More invalid Lua state safeguards, functions now throw type errors when not given a callback where one is expected
  • •
    render.ReadPixel/render.CapturePixels now returns the alpha channel too (naturally uses more memory)

Fixed

  • •
    Fixed Vehicle.SetVehicleParams taking "steering" parameters from "engine" table, fixed it affecting the speed of some cars due to vphysics shenanigans, fixed it needing boostMaxSpeed, maxRevSpeed and maxSpeed in different units
  • •
    Setting size of a spawnicon AFTER the model should now work correctly (Still not recommend doing so though)
  • •
    SpawnIcon:SetSpawnIcon no longer requires the file to be loaded elsewhere to work
  • •
    Fixed DCheckBoxLabel's vertical alignment of the label (Community Contribution)
  • •
    DTextEntry removes its autocomplete menu if it is open when the text entry itself is removed
  • •
    Fixed an issue with DTree file folders where adding folders to an open node would not populate the added node unless the parent node was collapsed and then expanded again
  • •
    Maintain nicer sorting for numbers in DListView column sorting (Regression fix for previous update)
  • •
    Fixed Panel.LerpPositions not working well with Panel:Center*() functions (or with GetPos() in general)
  • •
    Fixed a self crash with render.DrawSphere when giving the sphere zero/negative segment counts
  • •
    Fixed Entity.GibBreakServer crashing with brush entities
  • •
    Fixed render.SupportsHDR always returning false
  • •
    Fixed Player.GetFriendStatus never showing "blocked" status
  • •
    Fixed cookie library cache having outdated values in certain rare cases (Community Contribution)
