This update brings many new features for addon creators as well as adds general polish to other parts of the game, such as the Spawmenu.

Resizing the spawnmenu now saves the changes after you exit the game, so you do not have to resize it every time you join a Sandbox server or start a singleplayer Sandbox game. There are also numerous improvements to spawnlist customization, including more intuitive drag'n'drop controls that mimic drag'n'drop controls of your Operating System and inability to delete NPCs, Weapons, Vehicles, Entities and Post Processing effects from their own tabs so players no longer have to rejoin server/restart their singleplayer game if they accidentally deleted something in their spawnmenu. There's also an option to revert any currently unsaved spawnlist changes.

A number of Steam Workshop related issues introduced with the previous update were also resolved.

You will find the full change list for this update in our blog post:
https://gmod.facepunch.com/blog/march-2020-update

The x64/chromium embedded framework (CEF) update will likely release sometime after this update, some unexpected issues were found and since fixed, as well as an upgrade to a newer CEF version (80) was performed which is why it was delayed.

This update requires servers to update before you can join them.

This means that for a certain amount of time after the update releases you may be unable to join servers and get a message saying "The server is running an older version of the game" instead. You will have to wait for servers to update before you can join them again.

You cannot downgrade to a previous version of the game. Please be patient and let server owners update their servers.

Update Highlights
The biggest changes this update brings are to our Steam Workshop support.

Here are the benefits of the new system:
  • Addons will have a much higher size limit, up to 2GB
  • New or updated addons on Steam Workshop will display their real, uncompressed size
  • New or updated addons will take less space on your HDD/SSD
  • There will be no negative impact on download/upload sizes
  • Players will be able to update their uploaded Dupes, Saves and Demos from in-game

Please note that new or updated addon files will no longer be stored in your addons/ folder, instead they will be stored by Steam in steamapps/workshop/ folder of your Steam game library.

We have also added the ability for players to update their existing Dupes, Saves and Demos uploaded to Steam Workshop. The process for this is very simple - simply press "publish" on the new version of your local content, such as a Dupe you created, and select one of your existing items on the right in the reworked UI for publishing the content:


We have also added "Dupes" section to the main menu, allowing you to delete your local Dupes from in-game, without a need to open game's install folder.

Addon developers and server owners
If you are using 3rd party tools that do not use gmpublish.exe to upload content to Steam Workshop then addons published with those tools after the update may cease to work.
This does not apply to already existing addons, however the benefits above only apply if you are using the new version of gmpublish.exe (v1.2)

Existing addons can take advantage of the new system and its benefits by simply updating using the new gmpublish.exe (v1.2). Please note that this is a one way process and there's no going back to the old system once you convert your addon, meaning you won't be able to update it again with old versions of gmpublish.exe or 3rd party tools that do not use gmpublish.exe (which realistically shouldn't matter).

If you are currently using steamworks.Download in conjunction with game.MountGMA, that will also cease to work for new Steam Workshop content. You will need to switch your code to use steamworks.DownloadUGC instead. Please note that it takes a WorkshopID directly, not a file ID like its predecessor. All of this is documented on the Official Wiki[wiki.garrysmod.com].

Other changes
In addition to the Steam Workshop support changes, this update includes the usual fixes and improvements across the game. We have updated the Player Model selector in Sandbox to include a search bar so it is easier to find specific models.

We have also translated certain previously untranslated parts of the game, such as the Publish creation and the Player model selector menus, among other smaller changes.
Source Engine menus and UI language is now tied to your language selected in Steam. This behavior can be overwritten with the -language launch parameter.

You will find the full change list for this update in our blog post:

The next Garry's Mod update is coming soon. Actually 2 of them.

The first update is scheduled to release on 21st of January (around the usual 4PM GMT) and will bring changes to Steam Workshop support in Garry's Mod. More details are below. This update is recommended to be installed on all servers, but will not be enforced.

You can find the list of changes that will be coming in the first update here:
http://wiki.garrysmod.com/changelist/prerelease/

The second update is scheduled to release on 24th of January and will bring the long awaited 64bit builds and a new built-in browser engine - Chromium. This second update will not affect servers in any way, so it won't be necessary for server owners to perform any updates.

Upcoming Steam Workshop support changes
We are moving Garry's Mod to a new Steam API called ISteamUGC, which will bring a bunch of nice features for everyone.

Here's what's changing:
  • Addons will no longer have a size limit, meaning no more separate downloads for map content, etc
  • New or updated addons on Steam Workshop will display their real, uncompressed size
  • New or updated addons will take less space on your HDD/SSD
  • There will be no negative impact on download sizes
  • Players will be able to update their uploaded Dupes, Saves and Demos from in-game

For addon developers
If you are using 3rd party tools that do not use gmpublish.exe to upload content to Steam Workshop then addons published with those tools after the update may cease to work.

Update Highlights
Among many smaller changes and improvements, this update brings back the HEV suit functionality from Half-Life 2, including limited flashlight, oxygen and sprint energy. By default the suit systems are disabled, and you can enable this when starting a new game on the panel above "Start Game" button, or while in-game in the Utilities tab in Sandbox's Spawnmenu.

We have also added a feature called Dynamic Render To Texture shadow angles:

While this feature is primarily aimed at map makers, we have added a bunch of console variables for everyone to mess around with:
  • r_shadow_allowdynamic 1 - Allows dynamic lights, such as the Light tool, to make use of this feature
  • r_shadow_allowbelow 1 - Allows lights below an entity to also affect shadow angles
  • r_shadowfromanyworldlight 1 - Makes ALL light sources affect shadow angles, as opposed to only map curated ones
  • r_shadow_lightpos_lerptime 0.5 - How long it takes for the angles to change from one light source to another
  • r_shadow_shortenfactor 2 - The higher the number, the more towards the ground the shadow will point

If you wish to disable this feature altogether for whatever reason, you can use the following command:
  • r_shadowfromworldlights 0

Along with these 2 features, there are a whole slew of smaller changes and fixes, such as more improvements to map loading from other games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, whose maps should look less broken with this update, as well as being able to load its de_dust2 version and the dz_sirocco Dark Zone map thanks to the increased map displacement limit.

We are also introducing a number of visual fixes, such as Lamp tool glows now working properly in mirrors, a fix for the long standing issue of sun disappearing randomly when looking at it and some decals not receiving shadows from projected textures (Lamp Tool) on gm_construct and many other maps.

The Hammer Editor also saw some improvements, fixing checkerboard reflections and a new ability to simply drag'n'drop .vmf files onto Hammer to open them, so you no longer have to manually navigate to your files using the Open File dialog.

Special thanks to Badger for reporting and suggesting a fix for a security issue.

Update Highlights
This update brings a bunch of improvements to the built-in weapons as well as better support for NPCs being able to use modded weapons.

This update is optional for server owners, but it is highly recommended to update to get all the new fixes and features.

Since Half-Life 1 weapons got a lot of love in previous updates, it is only fair that Half-Life 2 weapons get the same treatment, and with this update we've resolved most if not all visual and audio problems with the built-in Half-Life 2 weapons. No more broken sounds and effects.

We have also added better NPC support to scripted weapons, so addon makers can now control exactly how the NPCs can use their weapons. As an example, the built-in Flechette Gun now has full NPC support, meaning it can be picked up by Citizens/Rebels from the ground and used properly against their enemies.

Your in-game content such as Dupes (built-in, not modded), Saves, Spawnlists, etc now also saves on the Steam Cloud automatically. This feature was enabled a few weeks ago, but we are mentioning it here so you are aware. There is a hard limit of 10000 files per account for this, so be careful if you have excessive amounts of saves and whatnot, if you reach the limit, your new content will not be saved on the Steam Cloud until you delete some old stuff first.

There has also been some improvements to CS:GO/Left 4 Dead map support, fixing some flickering models around those maps and fixing unexpected water effects in certain places on some CS:GO maps.

The Half-Life campaign support continues to improve, as level transitions now work properly in singleplayer, Jeeps get their Gauss Guns back in Half-Life 2 maps, the Half-Life 2 teleporter sequence now slows down the player properly, added a new feature to limit player's ammo (with the ability to match Half-Life defaults) and the suit chargers were changed back to restore 75 armor by default just like in Half-Life 2.

Update Highlights
This update finally brings the Half-Life: Source weapons and entities, which were added a few updates ago, directly to your Spawnmenu.


(Note that this requires Half-Life: Source owned and installed on Steam, as well as mounted in Garry's Mod)

This also means the weapons were given proper art pass treatment - third person animations, models and all effects included, which is why the weapons weren't available in the spawnmenu previously.

In addition a lot of Half-Life and NPC related changes and fixes are introduced in this update for your enjoyment. NPCs can now use more built-in weapons (.357 Magnum and Glock) and use others (RPG Launcher) more effectively, some progression stopping bugs in Half-Life campaigns have been resolved.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map support has been improved as well, static props now get their proper color and there is no longer any weird issues with Physics Gun and bullets hitting the air. The maps also are no longer extremely shiny.

The update also brings some general fixes and improvements to the game, including security, stability and minor performance improvements.

Notable among Lua API changes and improvements is the addition of util.GetModelMeshes[wiki.garrysmod.com]. This new function will allow modders to modify existing models in ways not previously possible. This and all of other new Lua API additions and changes are documented on our our Official Wiki[wiki.garrysmod.com].

Notice
Unlike many previous updates, this one will require servers to update before you can join them. We try to keep such updates to a minimum, but it was necessary for this update.

This means that for a certain time after the update you may get a message such as "The server is running an older version of the game" when connecting to your favourite servers. You will have to wait for servers to update before you can join them again.

You CANNOT downgrade to a previous version of the game.

The changes

Today's update brings a small amount of vital improvements to the stability and security of the game. This update is mandatory meaning servers will have to be updated before players can join them.

The update fixes some Team Fortress 2 maps crashing when looking at certain spots, and those maps now also properly load detail props. A long standing crash with decals on very high quality models was fixed as well.

This update also brings a new hashing algorithm for Lua files which will prevent people from running custom clientside code on servers when they are not supposed to be able to.

  • Fixed a crash with decals on high poly models
  • Fixed a crash with Projected Textures
  • Fixed crash issues on some TF2 maps
  • Fixed crash issue with physenv.AddSufraceData()
  • Fixed not being able to start a new game with too many game.AddDecal() calls
  • Fixed a crash issue with env_fog_controller
  • Fixed crash exploits with parenting of unremovable entities to removable ones and deleting them this way
  • Fixed certain players not being able to be muted on servers with large populations
  • Changed Lua file hashing algorithm to improve security
