I know what you’re thinking. How did we get to 31? Well - there’s been other bug fixing patches that weren’t announced. That’s how. So lets build a bridge and get over it.

So there’s a few goodies in this patch. And a few baddies.

• Fixed not being able to type into menu screen

So here’s some details on some stuff.

surface.CreateFont

This is one for the developers. I changed surface.CreateFont to use a table instead of 8 parameters that no-one could ever remember. This means that any code that uses surface.CreateFont needs to be changed - which sucks - but to sweeten the deal I got rid of gm_clearfonts.. so there’s no need for all that stupid crap when you change a font and want to see what it looks like.

Here’s a video of me editing a script in another window. As you can see the font in the top left if updated instantly!

World Clicking

I made world clicking better. It was done in a hacky unpredicted way before - it’s something that has haunted me for years. Now it works in a nice clean generic way.. which means it works with all weapons and widgets too. You can check out this video if you want to see it in action.

Mac

The mac version should work again.

Server List

I made a couple of changes to the new server list. It’s still not done.. but I made it show a player list when you click on the server. Pressing refresh works like you’d expect it to now too.

Spawnlists

You can save your spawnlists again now. I fixed a few errors in that area. I also added a couple of extra default spawnlists - since people were missing the phx props.
