I’ve mainly been going around fixing bugs that people have reported. There’s a couple of new things, and a couple of unfinished features (one being the player model editor).
Fixed Mac Sound Bug
You have no idea how much sleep I’ve lost over this bug. I was convinced that it was some kind of misconfiguration in my build process. Turns out it was my own stupid fault. A misplaced exclamation point in my code. God damn.
Dedicated Server Workshop
See the link above. I’ve tried to make it GSP friendly - but if there’s more I can do then let me know, this is just the foundation of this feature as far as I’m concerned.
Physics Crashes
If GMod detects a physics crash is about it happen it will remove the entities and the associated constraints. This should greatly reduce physics crashes. Under my testing I haven’t had any problems with entities randomly dissapearing - but I will be keeping an eye on it.
Error Reporting
To help me weed out Lua errors I’ve now got it sending me any errors that occur. If for some reason you want to opt out of this you can use the convar lua_reporterrors to disable sending. I’ll give addon developers access to the error reports in due time.
Lua Error Changes
You know it’s GMod because of the block of yellow Lua errors on the top right of the screen.. right? Well - that’s gone. Look in the console if you want to see the errors. On the plus side.. stack traces should be shown with all errors now.
Windows 8
We should be working find on Windows 8 now. If you’re getting errors then make sure you’re using the latest RC version (or whatever).
