Hello! We're back with a look at the work of Crazy Knife, another scenebuilder whose work completely blew us away. His obsession lies in bringing the real world into Garry's Mod, turning real rocks into in-game backdrops, remaking real-world frescoes, or tweaking architecture into impossible shapes. He's worked on builds that could be a snapshot of a real world street, but has also crafted surreal structures, sci-fi brutalist landscapes, and more. We really enjoyed hearing about how he turned mashed potatoes and Renaissance symmetry into Garry's Mod art, and we hope you will as well. Read about him and his work here.[gmod.facepunch.com]View the full article

Artwork "A Stroll Down Valve Ave." by Ivretor This update brings a much requested Addon Presets feature into the game: The updated "Addons" menu now contains a new section accessible from the bottom right corner which has new options for sorting and the new addon presets, which allow you to save groups of addons and enable or disable them quickly. We also added "Followed" and "Favorite" sections to the "Addons" menu, which will list Workshop Items published by Steam users you follow and the Workshop Items that you have favorited. The main menu got a few more tweaks besides that, such as the ability to hide the news list in the main menu: (Please keep in mind that you…

This news post is primarily addressed to server owners. Please start using Steam Game Server Login Tokens (GSLT). At the latest, on Friday all anonymous game servers (servers not using GSLTs) will receive a massive ranking penalty in the server browser meaning they will not appear at the top of the server list, ever. However they will still appear in the server browser and can be searched for with the search feature. This change is aimed to combat the rampant server faking issues that have recently spiked. What do I need to do as a server owner?You need to set up a GSLT token for your server. You can register GSLT tokens here: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managega…

[gmod.facepunch.com] Art by Nicnac Update HighlightsThis 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 …

Not a patch! Sorry if you're looking for a bugfix. No, we're here to share the work of Vioxtar, a Garry's Mod player who uses the game to make extraordinary things. He's broke the game more times than you can imagine, lost sleep, and worked for months on a single scene trying to bring the sandbox to life. We hope you enjoy his story.[gmod.facepunch.com]View the full article

We're releasing a small hotfix to address a recently found exploit that allowed users to execute arbitrary Lua scripts on servers. If you run a server, you should update it. It's a very non-intrusive update, so there should be no risk of anything breaking, except - potentially - third-party binary modules. View the full article

[gmod.facepunch.com] 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 …

[gmod.facepunch.com] What if Gordon Freeman didn't exist? That's the premise behind Haven, a 40 minute experimental machinima that has just been released, filmed in Garry's Mod. I wasn't even 10 minutes into watching it when I started making notes to send to the creator, because I had so many questions about how something like this was possible. Come and watch the whole thing, and read how film-maker Daniel Schetter crafted one of the most impressive pieces of machinima you'll ever see. View Post[gmod.facepunch.com]View the full article

[gmod.facepunch.com] Art by λtoɱ605 View Post[gmod.facepunch.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. View the full article

[gmod.facepunch.com] Over the years, Trouble in Terrorist Town has been one of the most enduring Garry's Mod modes, if not to play then certainly to watch. We got in touch with TTT's creator Stefan (aka Bad King Urgrain) to talk about how it came together, how it sprung from another mod, why people are still playing his duplicitous deathmatch, and what Gabe Newell thinks about it.
