Update Highlights This update brings some new content to Sandbox: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/93170b3a091f3bd2303c10d276a52611a293dde6.png There are also further localization improvements to the Sandbox gamemode, more English-only phrases are now translated to player's selected language. We also have a new mountable game, at the request of its developer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1786950/Klaus_Veens_Treason/ Players will be able to use maps, models and other assets from this game in Garry's Mod, once mounted through Main Menu's Games section. This update also adds a large number of new entities to the game, mostly from newer Source Engine games. This should help mappers create even better maps, and potentially improve compatibility with maps from mountable games. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/1eb11cddbf915c25c835bd9ead69f02e76058609.png In addition, there were some improvements to the Hammer editor and map compilation tools, further benefitting mappers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/e9f2f7ba9df6ba8f6e6326a2def92322874479e9.png This update also brings partial custom shader support, enabling modders to create fancy effects such as this: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/c5664569702abd00e882b49aec065fe429dc5c65.png As usual, there is a large number of Lua API additions and fixes, as well as other miscellaneous fixes and improvements for modders as well as players.

These groups are loaded from the models themselves, so the support for this feature is up to model makers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/bdd64f7fb2594f4090797c99a81eadc33230733f.jpg This update also comes with reworked default spawnlists, finally exposing every single model that comes with the base game, as well as pre-generated spawnicons for every single one. Please note that these new spawnlists may not appear for you until you delete existing spawnlists (garrysmod/settings/spawnlists/ folder) if you played Sandbox prior to this update. Be aware that this folder also includes your custom and modified spawnlists. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/61717b4ecc168bb1404fb2e59700216dec1a4507.jpg In addition to the new default spawnlists, you can now more easily create custom spawnlists for your addons. Simply right click on an addon in your Spawnmenu's browse section and select "Create a spawnlist from this folder". It will generate a spawnlist and group addon props by folder they are in. This also works for mountable games in the same section of the spawnmenu. Don't forget to save your changes when you add new spawnlists or modify them! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/4284ff15660de6f4fbf35df2164382b0f8f77809.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/7f20baa22d98f33cc8b9f953119274c6ef6f5846.png Other spawnmenu improvements include more information about weapons and entities straight from the spawnmenu, as well as a visual indicator when a tool is disabled by the server.

The current plan is to release the next Garry's Mod update on 31st of July at 2PM GMT.

This is not a mistake, the takedowns came from Nintendo. Honestly, this is fair enough. This is Nintendo's content and what they allow and don't allow is up to them. They don't want you playing with that stuff in Garry's Mod - that's their decision, we have to respect that and take down as much as we can. This is an ongoing process, as we have 20 years of uploads to go through. If you want to help us by deleting your Nintendo related uploads and never uploading them again, that would help us a lot.March 2024 PatchMar 19, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, We are releasing a small patch today with some fixes for issues introduced in the previous update, as well as some bonus fixes.

New Crosshairs This update brings a new default crosshair for the base game, as well as ability to customize your crosshair. This is usually fulfilled by using addons, but the default crosshair had a long standing issue of being impossible to see on bright backgrounds, so a new one was well overdue. You can now customize the crosshair in the Options menu: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/ffd9b3aab826a22ede1e520fb4d0d58784e6de29.png (You can reset the slider values by middle mouse clicking on them! It works in many places!) The new default crosshair, a dot image, is visible no matter what you are looking at. You can still use the old crosshair if you really must, via the aforementioned crosshair customization. The options menu was also changed a bit: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/962da7f043f2a3d046fe8c077b95c2e4a232ae27.png Bringing some of the more obscure settings to the front, so players know of their existence. Sandbox Improvements A quality of life change to the built-in Bodygroup & Skin changer is added in Sandbox: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/016497f4ac5aed96ad975a88bbbf94d1010cf2cf.jpg You can now switch skins and bodygroups without closing the menu by right clicking on the options. Additionally, new quick options are now available in the Server section of the menu bar: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/a20fdfcddc4142f0e0a23189f5fc1077cd2f6ef3.png These are only available to be changed in singleplayer or by the listen server host, but hopefully will bring more of a spotlight to existence of these settings. A lot of more of them can be found in the Spawnmenu's Utilities tab, which were added in previous updates. Portal 1 entities are now also available in the base game for owners of Portal 1 on Steam: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/c7574401ec5393f2b18cdb8985bbd27dd856dc34.png Other Changes There has been a huge amount of other, smaller changes that may or may not be visible to players. You can now share addon presets with your friends, or import them from collections: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/b1c65f6fd0327be7f2d3497775733609f88b47c0.png Some improvements were made to duplicator support, such as saving NPC health and max health, "Make Persistent" option, and "frozen by physics gun" status. A large amount of crash issues were fixed. As usual, a large amount of new Lua API features were added for mod makers, as well as some minor improvements to map making tools.

You can preview the list of upcoming changes here: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Update_Preview_Changelog (Please note this list is still work in progress and is subject to change.) Regarding recent patches I know the recent security patches introduced a few issues into the game. I can understand that it may be frustrating when an addon worked before and stopping working after an update. But please understand that these patches were and are necessary to ensure security of the game for everyone. Sometimes there just isn't a way to fix a security issue without breaking something else. The most helpful thing you can do in these cases is report issues you find in a constructive manner, with as many details as possible, with steps to reproduce the issue. This ensures the issue is fixed or mitigated as quickly as possible. This upcoming update will address a few regressions since those security patches based on community feedback.
