Gmod 14.04.03

You have waited a long time.. and this is a big one.. so servers will need to be restarted before you’ll be able to join them.

Fixed lamps projecting backwards


This annoying visual bug that has been there since lamps existed is now finally gone for good.

Improved mounting system


You will most likely not notice it but the mounting system has been given a heavy lifting. This means a slight decrease in load times, less remounting, and no more texture issues on changelevels.

Fixed gamemode name reported by Steam not being updated after a changelevel


The gamemode name used to be sent to Steam’s master server only when a server was started, so it wouldn’t be updated after a changelevel. Now it is sent at regular intervals along with the current map name.

Minor Half Life 2 campaign fixes


A lot of minor fixes have been oriented towards making the HL2 campaign fully playable. For instance, the GMan intro now plays correctly, ropes should now be properly positioned on all levels, NPCs now receive the correct amount of damage from HL2 weapons (the shotgun was notably weak against them), and metrocops no longer get stuck into a T-pose when attacked.

Lots of requested Lua fixes and features


Notable additions include new BASS library bindings allowing more control over sounds being played, advanced matrix manipulation functions, a hook which allows you to override sounds before they are played, and another hook which overrides bullets fired from any weapon. You decide what to do with them!
A lot of Lua functions also had more or less important issues pointed out by various coders, most of those are now fixed.

And now for the…
