So I know people are going to be scared by those first two convars. In GMod12, unless ScriptEnforcer is enabled you can run any script you want when connected to a server. This is great because of things like SmartSnap and custom HUDs that you want to use, right? Well, I’m not getting rid of that - that functionality is still available.
The problem is that the great majority of those things are kind of sandbox specific. So server operators can set sv_allowcslua to disable the client’s scripts running while on their server (it will only run scripts sent by the server).
The rest of the stuff in this patch is mainly fixes. There’s a couple of requests, but mainly fixes. Linux server should work now. Mac sound bug STILL exists. Thanks to everyone helping me out in the beta forum.
