Gmod Changelog

Another update to the last update:

Server bans and other bans are now sorted in with each other by date on the bans page.
The ulx unban command has been updated to work with the new system. Members and up can use it to delete their own bans within 20 minutes. This should only be used if the ban was by mistake.
Plenty of bugs have been squashed.

The bug where no scrollbar appeared in the PointShop for weapons has been fixed. You should now be able to scroll and see all weapons.

[r] has been added as an alias of [rainbow].

2/21/21 - Gmod to LFG Chat Relay

Garry's Mod Chat is now symmetrically relayed with LFG Chat. For now, this is only enabled on Sandbox but will be on all servers soon.

This means that every message sent by players on Garry's Mod will appear in the corresponding LFG Chat channel (ex: #sandbox).
If a player isn't linked to a forums account, their Steam name and avatar will appear by their message.
If they are linked to a forums account, their forum name and avatar will appear instead.

Sending messages in the Gmod server's LFG Chat channel will also display the message in game (similar to nadmin, but anyone can use this).
It will be displayed like so:

You can search for channels on LFG Chat here:


Should you join a channel, you will most likely want to disable notifications:

Update to previous update:

!build and !ammo commands on Sandbox are now silent in order to prevent spamming LFG Chat.

Spawns and disconnects are now also relayed to LFG Chat. Initial connection is not relayed (only initial spawn) and disconnects before initial spawn are also not relayed.

Bot spawns and disconnects are no longer adverted in chat.

Another update to Gmod to LFG Chat Relay:

All servers now have a channel:

• #sandbox
  
• #prophunt
  
• #ttt
  
• #zombiesurvival
  
• #darkrp
  
• #jailbreak
  
• #deathrun
  

Map changes are now also sent to the relay.

Another tip: if you don't want the favicon (tab icon) to indicate unread messages when a message is posted in a server channel, also toggle off "Show counter" in Notification Preferences.

will there be one for minecraft?

No, considering that would require me to learn how to actually make a Minecraft plugin.

3/6/21 - Improved Ban Enforcement

ulx bancheck has been updated to work with the new ban system. The output has also been simplified.

The system which kicks players if the Steam account they are sharing Gmod from is banned on the server has also been updated to use the new ban system.

The same system has also been expanded to kick players if an account they are lending Gmod to is banned on the server. It will also Sourceban them if the account is Sourcebanned on the server.

3/7/21 - Background DL Simplification

The custom system that managed background downloads (downloads that happen after you join the game) has been removed now that Gmod natively has a progress bar and queuing system for this. This should mean no more stuck background downloads and faster, more reliable downloads.

9/15/21 - Background DL Fix

At some point a Gmod updated started making background DL addons redownload every time a player with that item respawned. This behavior has been patched and items should now only download/mount once per map.
