Hello beta testers! I sent the latest update to Valve - so hopefully it will be online quite soon. Notable changes in this update include:
Workshop Live Subscriptions
Subscribing to an addon via the Workshop site with Garry’s Mod open will cause the addon to install immediately. And the same with unsubscribing.
NPCs and Items
Due to popular demand I’ve made HL2 weapons, items and more NPCs spawnable.
Unclamped Faceposer
Face flexes are no longer clamped - which means you can do crazier faceposes.
Poster Renderer
An experimental feature is the new poster command. If you type “poster 2” it will generate a screenshot twice the size of your screen. “poster 10” will generate a screenshot 10 times the size. This is experimental so don’t expect everything to work perfectly.
Bug fixes
Lots of bug fixes. Servers should now be visible in the server browser. The mac version should work properly. The fonts issue should be solved. The workshop subscription GUI should disappear if you don’t have any subscriptions.
