• #696

  Merge branch 'refs/heads/auto/gifted-dubinsky-7b7fb7'

• #695

  Give the Host Server window a light theme after Garry's Mod's New Game page: a white rounded page, Gmod fields and selects, the game mode as the green gamemode dropdown and Host as the blue Start Game button

• #694

  Style the main and pause menus after Garry's Mod's menu in their existing layout: shadowed white actions that turn yellow on hover and focus, grouped with gaps, a black version badge, and shadowed title and footer

• #693

  Add GradientBox, a StyleBox with a vertical gradient fill, a top-to-bottom border, rounded corners and an inner top highlight

• #692

  Draw a drop shadow behind GUI button text when the button's theme has font_shadow_color, with Label's shadow offset and outline constants

• #691

  Make the flashlight pull-back smoothing frame-rate independent

• #690

  Snap feet yaw using the normalised angle difference so it doesn't overshoot across 180 degrees

• #689

  Refuse to pick up the prop the player is standing on

• #688

  Forget the old shadow mesh when reloading the player model, so a failed load can't leave it pointing at a freed node

• #687

  Take a looped WAV's end frame from its length instead of copying its sample data

• #686

  Prune freed props from PropSpawner whenever it tracks a new one

• #685

  Turn off physics interpolation on the fly camera, which moves in _Process

• #684

  Remove the leftover TMP prop spawns from MapViewer

• #683

  Match sky_camera case-insensitively and read fogenable as an integer

• #682

  Treat a material DX level too long to parse as not matching instead of throwing

• #681

  Resolve autolayer pose parameters as model pose parameter indices, as studiomdl writes them

• #680

  Reject truncated or oversized model, collision and pakfile data with InvalidDataException instead of out-of-range reads and huge allocations

• #679

  Subscribe the mount window to mount changes in _EnterTree to pair with the unsubscribe in _ExitTree

• #678

  Register GUI command handlers that take a Control subclass, and call them only for sources of that type

• #677

  Guard the weapon wheel's sector and number geometry against zero radii

• #676

  Stamp GUI script changes before flagging them so a hot reload can't skip the debounce

• #675

  Compare colour picker values by their text form so the colour setting's round trip doesn't reset the picker on every drag tick

• #674

  Fail GUI number conversion on NaN, infinities and out-of-range values instead of throwing out of the canvas update

• #673

  Apply only the settings the player changed, so untouched values aren't snapped to their slider steps

• #672

  Lock the host window's map choice while a world is selected, since hosting uses the world's map

• #671

  Report unreadable world saves as WorldSaveException, and flush a world save to disk before it replaces the old file

• #670

  Resolve a bare world save file name in the saves directory instead of the working directory

• #669

  End a value with an unclosed quote or bracket at the next section header or key instead of swallowing the rest of the settings file

• #668

  Reschedule the settings save when it fails

• #667

  Retry a failed Steam asset revalidation on the next request instead of keeping the failure for the session

• #666

  Raise MountStateChanged with no sources when mounting Garry's Mod fails, so screens waiting on AreSourcesOpen stop waiting

• #665

  Skip unreadable folders when listing mounted directories and Garry's Mod addons instead of throwing

• #664

  Reject drive-qualified segments in VirtualPath.IsSafe so a rooted path can't escape a mounted directory

• #663

  Send acks on their own schedule: reliable sends no longer postpone them, and a busy unreliable stream is acked every half ack window

• #662

  Time out connections that never finish the handshake, even while keepalives keep arriving

• #661

  Keep connect handshakes inside the protocol's limits: truncate names and server strings on write, cap the total user info size, reject a client whose accept message doesn't fit instead of throwing, and strip format characters and split surrogates from player names

• #660

  Carry fractional damage between hits so repeated damage under 1 HP still hurts

• #659

  Make GameSession.Kill always kill instead of passing the player's health through the mode's damage scale

• #658

  Fix ClientSettings.ConVars throwing on first use: the cleanup moved All below the fields that index it, so read the convars through getters instead

• #657

  Chore: code cleanup

• #656

  UID spam

• #655

  Drive the player camera's field of view from the field of view setting instead of the view preset

• #654

  Apply the window mode and vertical sync settings at startup and whenever they change: Borderless uses Godot's fullscreen window, Fullscreen uses exclusive fullscreen, and Windowed leaves a maximized window alone

• #653

  Make the Gravity Gun style play like HL2's physcannon: hold attack to pull and pick up props up to 250 kg and release to drop, attack2 launches the held prop or punts the aimed one with mass-scaled force and pushes the player back, the claws open at pickable targets, and no freeze, wheel or rotate

• #652

  Let PlayerPickup take its own settings and be driven from outside: Grab, Hold, Launch, the held mass and centre, and a standing-on check; wait HL2's 1 s grace after attaching before the hold error counts toward a drop

• #651

  Keep beam sear trails from jumping between burn points: match each burn point to the nearest trail that was entering or leaving the same face, bridge only when one trail and one burn point could pair at a nearby beam position, let a trail survive a 0.1 s miss, and split the ribbon into capped runs wherever a quad twists or turns back

• #650

  Add the loading screen scope: its pieces, how it draws during blocking work, startup, theme variations and use

• #649

  Load maps behind the loading screen through LoadingTransition, with SourceMap and LocalGame reporting progress for reading the BSP, lightmaps, world geometry, each static prop, collision and spawning

• #648

  Add the HL2 loading screen: a LoadingScreen autoload showing a themable Lua screen whenever a hold is open, from the first frame at startup, forcing frames during blocking work so its bar moves, in the HL2 colors as ThemeBase variations, with a black boot splash to match

• #647

  Add Progress and StatusText GUI elements that draw straight onto their own canvas item when their value changes, so they update in frames forced while the main thread is blocked; Progress draws Source's segmented progress bar from theme styles and segment constants

• #646

  Add the Godot uid for BeamSears

• #645

  Add BeamSears: the physgun beam sears every solid surface its curve crosses, entering or leaving, as a ribbon trail that glows in the beam tint, cools to char and dissolves over 4.5 s, bridged across fast sweeps on the same surface and attached to props it crosses

• #644

  Mark the netcode scope's net core done, with its codecs, channel, string table and signon details and what it left for later items

• #643

  Add the Godot uids for the Net scripts

• #642

  Add NetServer and NetClient with the connect, accept or reject, load, signon and active stages: protocol, build, password, slot and approval checks with their reasons, server info and string tables on accept, a userinfo table per slot, game messages once active, kicks, shutdown and timeouts

• #641

  Add string tables: indexed strings with optional data, written in full for signon and as additions and data changes after, rejecting gaps and garbage instead of throwing

• #640

  Add NetChannel: sequenced unreliable messages acked through the newest sequence and a 32-bit window, round-trip time and loss from those acks, fragments for messages over 1,200 bytes that lose only their own message, reliable messages over the transport's reliable delivery, and keepalives

• #639

  Add LaggedTransport, which holds incoming packets for net_fakelag and net_fakejitter, drops unreliable ones at net_fakeloss, keeps reliable packets in order and delivers a disconnect after what was held

• #638

  Add INetTransport and an in-memory LoopbackTransport that connects clients to a server end, delivers each side's packets on its next poll and queued packets before a disconnect and its reason

• #637

  Add INetState with delta writes against a baseline that cost one bit per unchanged field, and a check that round-trips every INetState in the game and test assemblies with random values against random baselines

• #636

  Add BitWriter and BitReader over spans with overflow flags instead of exceptions, float, angle and smallest-three rotation codecs for origins at a thirty-second of a unit, velocities and fractions, and an EvilEngine.Net.Tests project covering them

• #635

  Document the Server options' cvars as applied through the game mode's server rules

• #634

  Apply the spawn menu's Server options in local games: build the session's server rules from sbox_noclip, sbox_godmode, sbox_weapons, sbox_playershurtplayers and mp_falldamage and rebuild them when one changes

• #633

  Add server rules to game sessions: Sandbox reads noclip, god mode, weapons, player damage and realistic fall damage from them through new game mode hooks, and Kill ignores god mode

• #632

  Document the spawn menu's menu bar, the convars settings section and the snapshot's menu options

• #631

  Open Derma dropdowns from the spawn menu's menu bar: checked cvar options that toggle on press, disabled cheat options, spacers and a hover submenu, switching menus on hover and closing on a press elsewhere

• #630

  Read the spawn menu's menu bar from Garry's Mod's menubar.lua: menus, cvar options with their host and cheat requirements, spacers, and the NPC weapon override submenu filled from ADD_NPC_WEAPON calls in mounted games

• #629

  Store Garry's Mod's menu bar cvars as client settings with Gmod's defaults, and apply cl_drawhud, physgun_drawbeams, physgun_halo, effects_freeze and effects_unfreeze

• #628

  Add a zindex common property that sets an element's Godot z_index, leaving it alone on elements that never set it

• #627

  Mark the netcode scope's simulation and presentation split done, with what it left for later items, and keep toggle crouch in movement as predicted state with its flag in userinfo

• #626

  Add the Godot uids for GameEvents, PlayerUserInfo, SharedRandom, ViewPunch and WeaponSequences

• #625

  Gather everything PlayerMovement keeps between ticks into PlayerMovementState with Save and Restore, and check in MovementLab that replaying 60 ticks of strafing, jumping and crouching from a saved state lands on the same origins

• #624

  Give each player a PlayerUserInfo with its model, player and weapon colors, physgun style, continuous physgun, toggle crouch and auto jump, which the body, weapons and movement read instead of ClientSettings, bound to the client settings for the local player

• #623

  Raise sounds, tracers, impact decals, world muzzle flashes and freeze outline flashes from player simulation through GameEvents, which plays them only when first predicted, and keep the physgun hum in the per-frame view update

• #622

  Draw weapon spread, view kick, eye snap and sequence picks from a SharedRandom reseeded from each command's number, so replaying a command fires the same way

• #621

  Pick weapon sequences and time them from the view model's .mdl through WeaponSequences instead of the built view-model rig, which only plays the picked sequence now

• #620

  Integrate view punch per tick in the player's simulation instead of the camera's frame loop, so bullet aim and the machine-gun kick read the simulated punch, and have the camera draw it blended between ticks

• #619

  Carry flashlight, noclip and undo as command impulses, weapon and mode picks, held-prop mouse rotation and physgun wheel notches in PlayerCommand, number each command, and aim weapons and the pickup from the command's eye angles

• #618

  Wrap the spawn menu's missing tool gun warning to the tool panel's width, as Gmod's markup label does, so its large font doesn't widen the tool menu

• #617

  Document the Garry's Mod spawn menu, the Derma skin and control skins, and settle that the stock theme is Garry's Mod's

• #616

  Make the stock spawn menu Garry's Mod's Q menu in the Derma skin: the menu bar, Gmod's margins, creation tabs with search, node trees and spawn or content icons, the tool menu with its quick filter and categories, and the tool menu toggle, keeping the engine layout as EngineSpawnMenu

• #615

  Read the spawn menu's tool and utility lists from Garry's Mod's Lua: tool categories and menu options registered with literal arguments, and each stool's category and name

• #614

  Add the Derma skin: Garry's Mod's default skin regions and colors from the GWEN atlas for buttons, text boxes, scroll bars, splits, tooltips, property sheets, tabs, trees, category lists, check boxes, the menu strip and content icons, in Tahoma

• #613

  Add Derma-drawn Tab, TabStrip, TreeNode and ContentIcon elements that read their parts from skin theme items, an iconalign button property, and a fading hover overlay and popup switch on SpawnIcon

• #612

  Localize string properties that start with #, reading Garry's Mod's resource/localization/en .properties files alongside Source's resource files, and reload them on mount changes

• #611

  Add Lua control skins: skin definitions of atlas borders, regions, images, atlas colors, flat and empty boxes and system fonts, built into a Godot theme per skin that an element picks with theme, plus a tooltip property

• #610

  Load GUI images from Garry's Mod material paths such as icon16/folder.png, reading PNGs and JPGs from mounted materials and other paths as VMTs

• #609

  Add Save World to the pause menu: a window naming the save after the map and time, warning before it replaces an existing world, and reporting where it saved

• #608

  Pick a game mode and optionally a saved world in the Host Server window, showing the mode's description and switching to the world's map and mode when one is chosen

• #607

  Save the spawned props and NPCs to user://worlds as a world save and load one with --world=<name or path>, restoring its entities on its map in its game mode unless --gamemode= picks another

• #606

  Track each spawned prop and NPC with its spawnable, and place props at an exact transform, frozen or not, and NPCs at an exact position and yaw

• #605

  Write negative zero coordinates in world saves as zero

• #604

  Add the world save format: a versioned .evilworld JSON file naming the map and game mode and listing each spawned prop or NPC with its spawnable, model, skin, body, Source origin and angles and frozen state, plus a library that saves, lists and loads them by name

• #603

  Convert Godot positions and rotations back to Source units and pitch, yaw and roll angles

• #602

  Scope Source-style netcode: an authoritative server with listen, single-player loopback and headless dedicated roles, usercmd prediction, delta snapshots, interpolation, lag compensation, and transports behind one interface for ENet now and Steam later

• #601

  Run LocalGame under a game mode: start the launch map in --gamemode=, give the mode's loadout, drop the spawn menu and block noclip and undo where the mode disallows them, apply fall damage, and on death strip weapons and freeze input until the mode's respawn delay puts the player back at a random player start

• #600

  Move the sandbox loadout into SandboxMode, have GiveLoadout take the weapons and ammo it gives, and add StripAll to take every weapon and all ammo

• #599

  Add game modes: a GameMode with loadout, spawn menu, noclip, undo, damage and respawn rules, a registry of Sandbox and Survival read from --gamemode=, and a GameSession that tracks the player's health, death and respawn

• #598

  Settle that Lua HUD styles draw through a paint context, dropping it from the theme scope's open questions

• #597

  Dry fire the physgun and gravity gun on right click when there is nothing held to freeze

• #596

  Scope a Lua theme system: theme tokens, per-element HUD styles drawn from C# or Lua, Derma control skins from the GWEN atlas, and HUD animations owned by the theme

• #595

  Open the Character overlay from a Character button in the pause menu, returning to the menu on Back or Escape

• #594

  Add a Character overlay for picking the player model, player color and physgun color, with an animated, turnable preview of the chosen model

• #593

  Add a ColorPicker GUI element that reports picks through onChange as rgba text and through its command

• #592

  Check that citizen player models tint their clothes sheet through the PlayerColor proxy

• #591

  Dress the player in the chosen player model, player color and weapon color, swapping body and hands when the model setting changes

• #590

  Store the chosen player model, player color and weapon color as character settings, with a three-number vector setting type

• #589

  List Garry's Mod's player models by name, title and category, with their hands, from player_manager's AddPlayerModel table

• #588

  Tint model materials by the player color through the PlayerColor proxy on $color2, blending by base alpha and $blendtintcoloroverbase like VertexLitGeneric

• #587

  Select the hovered weapon mode when alt mode is released over a different mode than the current one

• #586

  Add the Godot uids for PhysgunOutline and PhysgunHold

• #585

  Unfreeze with the physgun's reload press: free the aimed frozen prop, or every prop the player froze on a second press within 0.25 seconds of one that missed, flashing each red and chirping with Garry's Mod's unfrozen-objects message

• #584

  Flash a prop green for 0.3 seconds when the physgun freezes it, through a per-flash PhysgunOutline overlay that fades out without the flicker and gives way to the held outline

• #583

  Check that every physgun sound resolves to installed waves in Garry's Mod

• #582

  Freeze a physgun-held prop on the secondary press: stop it in place as a static body and release it, ending the beam in standard mode without dry-firing until attack is released, and keeping a continuous beam from relatching the frozen prop

• #581

  Let the physgun grab frozen props, unfreezing them at rest when it latches

• #580

  Rotate a physgun-held prop with the mouse while Use is held, turning it about the player's up and right axes around the grab point instead of turning the view, and stop Use from releasing it or starting a hand pickup

• #579

  Lay out the settings header in the scene: page tabs on the left and Credits at the far right, driving a TabContainer with its own tabs hidden

• #578

  Give the physgun its sounds: loop the super gravity gun hum while the beam is on and play the physgun off sound when it ends, or the gravity gun's pickup, hold and drop sounds in that style

• #577

  Equip the physgun by default when the player spawns

• #576

  Hold props with the physgun: grab on the press in standard mode or the first prop a continuous beam sweeps over, outline it, end the beam at its grab point, push or pull it with the wheel, and release on attack release, holster or use

• #575

  Add PhysgunHold: latch a rigid body at a grab point and distance, spring the grab point to the aim ray and the rotation to the player's yaw with gravity off, and keep its velocity on release

• #574

  Add PhysgunOutline: a stencil-writing overlay whose next pass draws the mesh's back faces grown 3 pixels in screen space outside the stencil, additive in a flickering tint

• #573

  Let the physgun grab on the attack press through TryGrab and keep its beam on while it holds something, dry-firing only when the press finds nothing

• #572

  Take Crouch off C, leaving Ctrl and the gamepad's B

• #571

  Take Walk off Alt so Alt only drives Alt-mode; Walk has no default key

• #570

  Fire the physgun beam while continuous mode holds attack: trace 4096 units from the eye each tick, ease the end toward the hit, bow the curve toward the aim, and start it at the view or world model muzzle

• #569

  Add PhysgunBeam: a camera-facing quadratic Bézier strip scrolling sprites/physbeama with three noise strands pinned at its ends and a physgun_glow sprite at the end point, extending over 0.06 s and fading over 0.12 s

• #568

  Let HudSnapshot hold Alt-mode with the loadout's physgun through --modes=<current>,<hovered>

• #567

  Add HudWeaponModes: while Alt-mode is held with a weapon that has modes, show its modes as HL2 selection boxes in the middle of the screen, steer between them with the mouse and click to switch, with the current mode underlined in its accent color

• #566

  Move the weapon selector's color, glyph, text and sound helpers into HudPanel so other HUD panels can draw the same way

• #565

  Give weapons selectable modes and the physgun two styles: GMod's blue Physics Gun and HL2's orange Gravity Gun, which swaps to c_physcannon and its name, redeploys when switched, and persists as game/physgun_style

• #564

  Add Alt-mode: an alt_mode input action on Alt and an AltMode autoload that tracks whether it's held and raises Changed, for scripts to show alternate info or controls while Alt is down

• #563

  Hold the physgun beam on while attack is held in continuous mode instead of dry-firing, dropping it on release or holster

• #562

  Add a Continuous physgun toggle to the Game tab's Weapons section, stored as game/continuous_physgun

• #561

  Smear the room echo when it plays on its own: low-pass it at the preset's echo cutoff before the delay and add a second tap 13 ms later at 35%, so the first slap stops being a full-bright copy of the sound

• #560

  Keep the direct sound out of the room delay's feedback loop when it feeds the reverb: turn feedback off and play the second repeat on tap 2, since Godot recirculates the dry signal and doubled every echo

• #559

  Damp the physgun view model's idle tremble to 40%

• #558

  Center the room delay's echo: Godot's delay tap defaults to a 0.2 right pan, which leaned every echo and repeat about 2 dB into the right ear

• #557

  Add a view punch strength setting and soften punches to 70% in the view presets

• #556

  Shrink the physgun dry-fire view kick

• #555

  Dry-fire the physgun on left click with the physcannon shake and sound

• #554

  Move the Credits tab to the right end of the settings tab bar

• #553

  Stop GameFileSystem's background source open from calling into Godot after the node leaves the tree

  Opening sources and loading spawnables now report their errors, timings and issues from the main thread, and the deferred completion is only queued under a lock that _ExitTree and FreeEditorInstance close.

• #552

  Thank the @syhgma YouTube audience in Special thanks

• #551

  Credit Valve and Half-Life 2 in Special thanks

• #550

  Credit Garry's Mod and Garry Newman in a Special thanks section

• #549

  Stop AudioManager's background sound reload from calling into Godot after the node leaves the tree

  The reload task now does no Godot calls on its worker thread: warnings and errors are reported from FinishReload on the main thread, and the deferred FinishReload is only queued under a lock that _ExitTree closes.

• #548

  Group settings into titled sections with collapsible cards for nested categories, scrolling each tab

• #547

  Theme FoldableContainer as a bordered card with a chevron title bar and add a SectionHeading label variation

• #546

  Show credits links as labelled hyperlinks instead of raw URLs

  Add invert look, controller look speed and deadzone, toggle crouch, toggle sprint and hold-to-jump to the Controls tab

• #542

  Bind settings window controls to their settings through one load/apply list

• #541

  Apply input settings in the player: mouse sensitivity (replacing the view resource's), inverted X/Y look, controller look speed and stick deadzone, toggle crouch, toggle sprint and hold-to-jump

• #540

  Persisted settings backend setup

• #539

  Document the client settings store

• #538

  Move bus volumes, the first-person body toggle and the settings window onto ClientSettings, persisting video and input values and reloading the form each time it opens

• #537

  Declare the client settings on a store at user://settings.cfg and add a SettingsManager autoload that saves them after changes and on exit

• #536

  Add PersistentStore: typed settings over a ConfigFile-format file that keeps unknown keys, writes atomically, merges with other processes' saves and backs up damaged files

• #535

  Show the Dazzle search icon in the spawn menu's search box

• #534

  Give the Lua TextBox element an icon property drawn at its right edge

• #533

  Add the Dazzle refresh icon to the server browser's Refresh button and a search icon to its filter field

• #532

  Add Dazzle folder, external-link and globe icons to the mount card's Show in folder, Open in Steam and Open in browser buttons

• #531

  Add Dazzle file-pencil and refresh icons to the mount manager's Open mounts.cfg and Refresh buttons

• #530

  Replace the mount card's +/− text toggle with recoloured Dazzle plus and minus icons

• #529

  Replace the default SpinBox arrows with recoloured Dazzle chevrons tinted per button state

• #528

  Replace the default LineEdit clear button with a recoloured Dazzle xmark

• #527

  Enlarge settings form rows: 18px labels and dropdowns, wider column and row spacing

• #526

  Give the settings footer buttons a 120x40 minimum size

• #525

  Set IBM Plex Sans import to light hinting with auto subpixel positioning and preload size 16 glyphs

• #524

  Make IBM Plex Sans the theme's default and label font at size 14, keeping Coolvetica for window titles and tree headers

• #523

  Credit IBM Plex Sans and its SIL OFL license in the Settings credits tab

• #522

  Add IBM Plex Sans variable fonts (upright and italic) with their SIL OFL license and attribution

• #521

  Turn the Game tab's camera setting into a first-person body toggle: on keeps the head-attached body camera, off hides the body and uses the static eye camera

• #520

  Add a Game settings tab with a checkbox to detach the first-person body camera from the playermodel's head, keeping it at the motor eye with no head-driven sway

• #519

  Redraw the weapon selector on the frame it hides, so its last faded frame no longer lingers on screen

• #518

  Fade the main menu backdrop in from black only on game launch, not when returning from a game through a scene transition

• #517

  Drop the Paused subtitle from the pause menu, as GMod's menu has none, and make MenuScreen's subtitle optional

• #516

  Keep the world simulating while the pause menu is open, as GMod does: the menu only captures game input and no longer pauses the tree

• #515

  Give the player GMod's default weapon color and feed it to the view and world weapon models with the PlayerWeaponColor proxy's sine pulse, so the physgun core glows cyan

• #514

  Render VMT $selfillum on lit models as Source does, blending the lit color toward $selfillumtint x albedo by the base alpha, and let a PlayerWeaponColor proxy on $selfillumtint take the tint from a per-instance weapon color

• #513

  Add Godot uid for the weapon manifest reader

• #512

  Add GMod's physgun as a placeholder weapon: weapon_physgun in slot 1 of the sandbox loadout with GMod's c_superphyscannon view model and physgun hold type, and no attacks yet

• #511

  Resolve weapon scripts through scripts/weapon_manifest.txt like Source, so GMod's scripts/weapons/ files win over HL2's loose scripts and its beta weapon_physgun.txt

• #510

  Chore: code cleanup

• #509

  Build history

• #508

  Build hist

• #507

  Build hist

• #506

  Add GMod's classic bucket weapon selection as HudWeaponSelection: small numbered slot boxes, the open slot's weapons as name rows with the selection in a large box with its glowing icon, laid out from hudlayout.res and switched against the wheel by each element's visible key

• #505

  Move weapon selection state, input, sounds and fades out of the wheel into a HudWeaponSelector base that other selection layouts can paint

• #504

  Split HudPanel's rounded background into a DrawBox helper that draws a rounded box at any rectangle, like vgui's Panel::DrawBox

• #503

  Add Godot uids for the localization reader

• #502

  Add an HL2-styled weapon wheel: six bucket segments with the HL2 font icons, ammo and slot numbers, held on Tab to aim with the mouse and scroll within a bucket, and opened by slot keys and the mouse wheel with HL2's click-to-confirm and timeout fade

• #501

  Expose the player's weapons to the HUD: bucket, slot position, print name, TextureData icon glyphs, selectability and secondary ammo, plus selecting a weapon and holding off attack while a HUD element takes the click

• #500

  Copy the font glyph atlas before converting it to RGBA for a font-character HUD icon, so the font's own cache texture stays LA8 and text drawn at that size keeps its color

• #499

  Read Source localization files and resolve #tokens from the valve, gameui, hl2 and garrysmod English token tables

• #498

  Read weapon script TextureData sprites, the font glyphs and sprite sheet rects the HUD draws weapon and ammo icons from

• #497

  Clean

• #496

  Chore: Formatting

• #495

  Thanks junie for doing a full Rider cleanup pass

• #494

  Chore: Formatting and codebase cleanup

• #493

  Size the model preview's render target in physical pixels through the root window's stretch transform, and take that stretch from the root so controls inside embedded windows don't count their own window's transform twice

• #492

  Light static props with the map's baked sp_hdr/sp_ vertex lighting, decoded as (2 x color)^2.2 like Source's vertex shader, and fall back to the model lighting when a prop has none or it doesn't match the model

• #491

  Read VRAD's static prop vertex lighting files and map their per-strip-group colors onto the mesh vertices BuildMesh emits, which can now report each vertex's source index

• #490

  Pick scheme font entries and sizes at a 1080p reference and scale them by screen height, so yres font buckets don't change HUD text proportions as the window resizes

• #489

  Include the window stretch transform when converting GUI canvas units to screen pixels, so fonts aren't sized for the smaller window and then shrunk again by canvas_items stretch, and the crosshair and quick info snap to real pixels

• #488

  Light NPCs, physics props and the player body with the model lighting at their illumposition each frame, and give the bonemerged weapon the body's row

• #487

  Light static props once at load from their lighting origin, or their model's illumposition when they have none, tracing every reachable light

• #486

  Keep model lighting in texture rows that shared lit materials read through an instance uniform, owned by a ModelLighting node the map adds, and move the view model onto a row of its own

• #485

  Make model lighting queries safe to run on several threads and report when a probe has stopped tracing and fading

• #484

  Light the view model with the map's lighting through a model shader that evaluates the ambient cube and up to four Source world lights per pixel instead of the flat environment ambient

• #483

  Compute Source model lighting at a point: the leaf's ambient samples weighted by inverse squared distance, the four strongest PVS-visible, unoccluded world lights as local lights and the rest folded into the ambient cube, with occlusion faded over 0.15 s

• #482

  Add a BSP ray trace that clips against the brushes in each leaf the ray crosses and reports the hit side's texinfo, and decompress the PVS per cluster

• #481

  Parse the world light and leaf ambient lighting lumps, both LDR and HDR, with ambient cubes decoded in Source's linear light scale and v19 leaves' embedded light cubes

• #480

  Draw HUD numeric labels in HudDefault, the font GMod uses for them, instead of Default, which scaled to 27px at 1080p and pushed AMMO into the digits

• #479

  Warn about a player model only when it lacks the movement activities PlayerAnimState plays, since wOS DynaBase includes runtime-generated local_*.dat files and a pointer model GMod itself skips when absent

• #478

  Skip unmounted player model animation includes before loading them, so a missing addon include like wOS's anim_dynamic_pointer_male.mdl doesn't also raise an asset cache load warning with a full stack trace

• #477

  Crossfade view model sequences in model space so the SMG doesn't swing down and back when ACT_VM_RECOIL2, which leaves Bip01 at its bind pose, fades to idle after a three-shot burst

• #476

  Add a model-space pose blend to StudioBoneSetup that crossfades bone transforms globally, so animations that park a parent bone differently and compensate in the child don't swing the child mid-blend

• #475

  Draw the painted sky per pixel from env_skypaint with GMod's g_sky gradient, dusk, sun and scrolling star layers instead of sampling its low-res fallback cube faces, which creased at every edge

• #474

  Parse env_skypaint with the GMod entity defaults, taking the sun normal from env_sun when the map has one

• #473

  Hard-limit the World bus at -1 dB and Master at -0.3 dB so loud shots plus their reverb return can't clip the output

• #472

  High-pass the room reverb input at 120 Hz so gunshot sub-bass doesn't build up in Godot's unscaled combs into a wash louder than the shots in large rooms

• #471

  Snapshot the outgoing sequence's cycle before resetting it so a finished draw or fire animation doesn't restart during the crossfade to the next sequence

• #470

  Add bullet tracers from the muzzle every second shot, multiply-blended subrect impact decals that keep the surface's lighting, and brass ejected from the view model's eject events

• #469

  Parse decals_subrect.txt: game material translation, weighted decal groups and subrect materials

• #468

  Collapse the hidden head and arms onto their root bone so the first-person body leaves no stick-figure of thin triangles in front of the camera

• #467

  Give the player weapons: inventory and ammo, slot, wheel and reload input, bullet and melee traces that push props and play impact sounds, view punch, the sandbox loadout, and weapons from the spawn menu

• #466

  Bonemerge the weapon's world model onto the player body, shadow-only in first person, and hide the body's arms in the body view while a weapon is out

• #465

  Add the first-person view model: c_ models with bonemerged hands at viewmodel_fov 54 through material FOV override and z clip scale, HL2 bob and lag, sound events and muzzle flashes

• #464

  Port HL2 weapon logic: CBaseCombatWeapon's frame loop, the pistol, .357, SMG, AR2, shotgun, crowbar and stunstick, Source ammo forces, and Garry's Mod's hands per playermodel

• #463

  Translate player activities through Garry's Mod hold types and play attack and reload gestures in the attack-and-reload slot, stretched to a given duration

• #462

  Parse weapon scripts: models, buckets, clip sizes, ammo types and SoundData

• #461

  Let a StudioAnimator follow a leader's bones by name like Source's bone merge, restart sequences from cycle 0, report sequence durations, and play gestures at a given rate

• #460

  Spawn NPCs as a hull body with a StudioCharacter playing its idle activity, placed 32 units off the surface and dropped to the floor as Gmod does

• #459

  Add an Npc collision layer that players, physics props and view traces collide with

• #458

  Emit the flashlight from the body's chest in third person, aimed at what the view ray hits

• #457

  Give noclip its own friction and apply it before acceleration so flight stops and turns quickly instead of coasting

• #456

  Toggle between first and third person with P, returning to the last first-person mode

• #455

  Low-pass the animated eye offset in first-person body view so the camera keeps the motor eye plus procedural bob instead of riding the run cycle

• #454

  Character imports and animation editor setup

• #453

  Other

• #452

  Free the editor GameFileSystem by instance id on assembly unload, since Godot has already disposed its managed wrapper, and connect the root's tree_exiting only once so reloads stop failing

• #451

  Show the spawn menu only while Q is held, closing it on release or when the window loses focus

• #450

  Document the bone setup, Garry's Mod playermodel pose parameters and the player animation controller

• #449

  Give the player a Garry's Mod playermodel driven by the base gamemode's animation logic, with a first-person body view from the eyes attachment, a headless body that hides from the flashlight's shadows, a shadow-only full body, and F5 to cycle third person and the classic view

• #448

  Expose AnimDucking like Source's FL_ANIMDUCKING: set while crouch is held or a ducked player can't stand

• #447

  Add StudioAnimator: runs the bone setup for a StudioCharacter with a main sequence, Source's sequence transitions, gesture slots and attachments, and writes poses through the humanoid rig

• #446

  Port Source's bone setup: blend grids with three-way blending, delta and post layers, auto layers, realtime and autoplay sequences, cycles per second and ground speed, evaluated on the Source skeleton

• #445

  Read MDL attachments into StudioSkeleton as Godot-space locals on skeleton bones

• #444

  Preview spawn menu tiles on hover and spawn them on a single press

• #443

  Drop the recent tools row and tool options from the spawn menu and let the model preview fill the details panel

• #442

  Add an onHover handler to GUI buttons that runs when the mouse moves onto them

• #441

  Render Lua GUI screens in the editor: GuiCanvas and the built-in elements are tools, non-tool elements become placeholder controls, and the canvas follows Lua edits and export changes live

• #440

  Let the game file system and GUI scripts run in the editor: an editor-only GameFileSystem that mounts without spawnables, LuaJIT loaded from res://Native, and both released when the editor quits or the assembly reloads

• #439

  Document that dynamic models render posed at sequence 0

• #438

  Bump the spawn icon render version so icons of models posed by sequence 0 are redrawn

• #437

  Pose non-skinned studio meshes at sequence 0, frame 0 like Source, so doors, turrets, weapon world models and characters face the way their collision does

• #436

  Show the mouse when the main menu loads so returning from the pause menu doesn't restore the in-game captured mode

• #435

  Add Godot uids for the skeleton, animation and character scripts

• #434

  Document MDL bone animation, sequences, facing and the humanoid retargeting port

• #433

  Add GMod's flashlight on F: a shadowed spotlight with the flashlight_border cookie, 60 degree FOV, 20 units below the eye with the look-down swing, pull-back traces near walls, and the HL2Player.FlashLightOn/Off sounds

• #432

  Light world surfaces with Source's flashlight: lightmap as emission plus a light() that applies the cookie, min(1, 100/d) falloff, far fade from 450 to 750 units, Lambert term and shadow attenuation from global flashlight parameters

• #431

  Add StudioCharacter: a skinned Skeleton3D normalized to SkeletonProfileHumanoid, lazily built native and humanoid animation libraries, blend spaces for pose-parameter grids, and a modifier for quaternion helper bones

• #430

  Turn the studio skeleton's root bones so the bind pose faces the same way as the animations, which studiomdl rotates 90 degrees from it

• #429

  Optionally write four bone indices and weights per vertex when building studio model meshes

• #428

  Check the automatic room every 0.25 s from raw rays and switch once the listener has moved 4 ft (6 ft outdoors) since the last change, like Source, instead of smoothing and waiting for a second matching sample

• #427

  Crossfade room delay and reverb between two send buses over Source's 0.2 s, or the previous preset's fade time, so the old room's tail rings out instead of morphing one reverb for a second

• #426

  Build Godot-space skeletons, skin binds and quaternion helper bones from MDL bones, and turn sequences from included models into skeleton animations with root motion

• #425

  Port Godot's humanoid rest fixer: map a skeleton onto SkeletonProfileHumanoid, fix its silhouette to the T-pose, overwrite bone axes, and convert animations and skin binds to match

• #424

  Read MDL animation descriptions, pose parameters, blend grids, animation blocks and quaternion helper bones, and decode compressed bone animation

• #423

  Match room reverb to Source's comb reverb: decay from the shortest delay, wet level from tail energy, Godot's inverted damping, no default predelay echo, and delay taps at gain times feedback

• #422

  Mix each world sound into the room reverb by distance and sound level like Source: 20% near to 70% at 1440 units, halved at 80 dB and below, with the send bus back at 0 dB

• #421

  Let a one-shot sound steal the quietest looping voice when every voice is a loop, so a loop-saturated map can't mute impacts and footsteps

• #420

  Drop fully-dead undo entries on every add and cap the list at 256 entries

• #419

  Refuse a pickup while already holding a body, so a second attach can't orphan the held prop's restored mass and gravity

• #418

  Purge freed bodies from collision sound tracking even while disabled or before surfaces load

• #417

  Build skinned static props through ModelMeshes with their prop skin instead of always rendering skin 0

• #416

  Bounds-check surfedge, edge, plane, face and leaf indices in the BSP walkers so corrupt maps fail with a clear error instead of raw index crashes

• #415

  Honor maxSize on partial VTF mip chains by picking the smallest available mip instead of always decoding mip 0

• #414

  Reject non-finite hull planes and points so a corrupt plane lump can't hand the physics engine a NaN hull

• #413

  Always resolve workshop detail completions and fail preview fetches instead of leaving pending tasks cached forever on unexpected exceptions

• #412

  Skip Steam manifests and library folders that fail to read or parse mid-write instead of failing the whole mount

• #411

  Limit KeyValues section nesting to 128 levels so a hostile file can't overflow the parser's stack

• #410

  Cap GIF canvas and frame sizes so hostile dimensions can't overflow the pixel math or allocate multi-gigabyte buffers

• #409

  Bound a compressed game lump by the container instead of its uncompressed length, so repacked maps keep their static props

• #408

  Still invoke workshop callbacks when a details or preview fetch fails, so cards fall back to local thumbnails instead of staying blank

• #407

  Route the pause menu's mouse mode through WindowManager's game input capture instead of writing Input.MouseMode past its bookkeeping

• #406

  Clamp the quick info warning alpha instead of wrapping a byte cast, so the caution pulse fades smoothly rather than flashing inverted

• #405

  Create the sky shader once at type initialization instead of racing a lazy field across converter threads

• #404

  Restore the Lua stack top on throw in SetGlobal, GetGlobal and GetReference, and grow the stack with lua_checkstack before pushes

• #403

  Finish an audio reload even when a step fails, so listeners and room DSP see whatever did load

• #402

  Check the window type before registering in Open<T>, instead of showing the wrong window and then throwing

• #401

  Raise SceneChangeStarted inside the scene change's try block, so a throwing subscriber can't leave the input-blocking overlay and IsChanging stuck

• #400

  Log and notify instead of silently dropping a background mount failure, so listeners still hear about the mount state

• #399

  Keep an acquired icon handle queued while its key renders as precache, so a cache hit on the precache pass still delivers to the handle

• #398

  Formatting

• #397

  Remove the player, impact and pickup probes and their MapViewer flags, and the crosshair sound tester from LocalGame

• #396

• #389

  Spawn a spawn menu entry on the first press of its tile instead of the second

• #388

  Record the spawn icon renderer, its cache and its timings in the spawnables scope

• #387

• #385

  Add a SpawnIcon GUI element, a button that shows a model's spawn icon once it's ready

• #384

  Add the SpawnIcons autoload, rendering model icons on offscreen stages with async readback, caching them on disk and precaching every spawnable on mount changes

• #383

  Add spawn icon keys, a fingerprinted disk cache, and camera framing that fits a model's drawn vertices and refines from a render's visible box

• #382

• #381

  Play impact and scrape sounds when spawned props hit or slide on the world, other props or the player

• #380

  Add Source's physics impact and scrape sound rules: impact volume from speed, soft or hard by hit hardness, per-frame merging, and scrape volume from friction energy

  Move skin and body mesh building from PropSpawner into ModelMeshes

• #378

  Let PlayerHullTracer exclude one extra body from its traces

• #374

  Add use, attack and attack2 player buttons on E, left and right mouse

• #368

  Keep the player in MapViewer screenshots with --player, so the HUD can be captured in a map

• #367

  Add HUDQuickInfo, drawing health and clip brackets beside the crosshair as cropped font icons, blinking and playing the low health and ammo sounds on warnings, and dimming after a second without changes

• #361

  Read enum GUI properties from numbers written as strings, as Source layouts write PaintBackgroundType

• #360

  Keep GuiLength values for GuiLength properties, reading layout strings as GUI units and Lua numbers as canvas units, and convert them through GuiCanvas.ToCanvasUnits

• #197

  Hold hull trace hits 1/32 unit off the surface so Jolt still sees ground the hull rests on

  Jolt's cast_motion ignores a surface the shape already touches within its collision tolerance. Stick-to-ground snapped the hull flush to the floor, so the next ground trace passed through it, the player went airborne on flat ground and drifted without friction.

• #196

  Chore: Formatting

  A headless run has a 64x64 root, so clamping saved 1x1 sizes that later opened windows at 1x1 in the real game.

• #167

  Open the mount manager from the main menu's Edit Mounts button instead of Settings

  The window has no owner, so it stays open across scene changes like the F2 toggle. Settings loses its Content tab.

• #166

  Mount window style and layout

• #165

  Toggle the mount manager on F2 and remember window positions in windows.cfg

• #164

  Block player and fly camera input and free the mouse while a managed window is open

• #163

  Remove the unused Main boot scene

  The game launches into MainMenu, and the mount manager opens from Settings.

• #162

  Wire the main menu to its windows and launch into it

  MainMenu opens each window through WindowManager with itself as owner, routes browser picks into the join window as its child, and answers host and join requests with a not-implemented status.

• #161

  Add a stub settings window with a link to the mount manager

  Video, audio, controls and content tabs. Apply only logs the values for now. The content tab opens the mount manager as a child window.

• #160

  Close managed windows with their parent window or owner node, children first

• #157

  Main menu stub

• #156

  Add a SceneManager autoload with threaded scene loading and a fade transition

  ChangeScene loads through ResourceLoader's threaded loader while a SceneTransition plays on a canvas overlay. A transition decides when the swap happens: Swap frees the old scene first, SwapLayered parks it live in a SubViewport shown under the overlay so mask transitions can blend both scenes. FadeTransition is the default: fade to black, swap, fade back.

• #155

  Add Godot UIDs for the window option scripts

• #154

  Dismiss managed windows on outside clicks and Escape, with modal and dimmed backdrop options

• #153

  Render the 2D sky and composite the 3D skybox

  SourceMap loads the worldspawn skyname faces (falling back from _hdr to the LDR names), splits world faces, brush entities and static props in the sky_camera's area into a separate skybox scene, and SkyboxView draws that scene from sky_camera.origin + camera / scale into a SubViewport shown as the background canvas layer, behind the main world.

• #104

  Add sky shader that samples Source skybox faces

  Converts the view direction to Source axes, picks the face with the skybox table and stretches half-height side faces over the upper half.

• #103

  Find the 3D skybox camera and assign faces to BSP areas

  Adds point-in-leaf lookup, face areas from the centroid nudged along the face normal, a sky_camera reader, and a face filter for the mesh builder. All 57 installed maps with a 3D skybox put it in an area apart from the player start.

• #102

  Add Source skybox face layout

  Faces are rt, lf, bk, ft, up, dn for +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z, with each face's s/t axes from Source's sky table. Colours match across cube edges on the HL2 skies (seam difference 1.0-3.6 against 6.5-33 for the Quake 2 order or a rotated up face), and the sun in the HL2 sky textures lines up with each map's light_environment (median 23 degrees over 70 maps, 77-117 for mirrored or turned skies).

• #101

  Add BC1, BC2 and BC3 block decoder to RGBA8

• #100

  Correct the Gmod mount scope with the depot table and mount rules from filesystem_stdio

• #98

  Add Garry's Mod depot table taken from filesystem_stdio and locate depot folders

• #97

  Expose install path lookup by AppID on GameLocator

• #96

  Load and render BSP maps with a map viewer scene

  SourceMap loads the BSP through the asset cache, mounts its pakfile at the head of the GAME search path while loaded, builds the lightmap atlas and per-map lightmapped materials, and instantiates the world, brush entities, static props and spawn marker. MapViewer loads a map with a fly camera and can save a screenshot from the command line.

• #95

  Add lightmapped world material with generated shader variants

  Unshaded spatial shader that multiplies albedo by the lightmap on UV2, with variants for alpha test, blend, additive, double-sided and the WorldVertexTransition blend by vertex alpha. The shader code is built in C# and cached per variant.

• #94

  Map VMT blend textures, tint, unlit, additive and water onto MaterialData

• #93

  Test Garry's Mod content discovery against the installed game

• #92

  Discover Garry's Mod depots, mount.cfg, workshop items and legacy addons

  Add GMA archive reader as a file source for Garry's Mod addons

• #88

  Move ArchiveEntryStream's Godot uid file with it

• #87

  Move VPK entry stream to IO as ArchiveEntryStream for reuse by other archives

• #86

  Add BSP lightmap atlas and lightmap UVs

  Decodes RGBExp32 luxels, sums enabled light styles (named styles stay off when every light using them starts dark), prefers HDR lighting, and shelf-packs faces with a 1-luxel border, bump pages side by side and a white rect for unlit faces. BspMeshBuilder fills TexCoords2 and puts the bump page offset in CUSTOM0 when given an atlas. Displacement luxel coordinates follow the grid rather than the lightmap vectors: on gm_construct, lighting across displacement seams differs by 0.008 with the grid mapping and 0.74 with it transposed.

• #85

  Add Garry's Mod mount scope

• #84

  Add second UV set and a float CUSTOM0 channel to MeshSurface

• #83

  Add BSP reader with entities, static props, pakfile and mesh builder

  Reads BSP 18-22 headers in both lump orders, decompresses LZMA lumps, and exposes typed planes, texdata, faces, edges, models, nodes, leafs, brushes, displacements, cubemaps and game lumps. Parses the entity lump, static props versions 4-11, and the pakfile as a mountable file source with stored, Deflate and LZMA entries. BspMeshBuilder turns a brush model into MeshData with displacements, UVs, tangents and displacement alpha. Face normals come from the face's plane: across the installed GMod and HL2 maps the winding matches the plane on 99.9% of faces, while the side byte disagrees on 39%.

• #82

  Add optional tangents and vertex colours to MeshSurface

• #81

  Add LZMA1 decoder for Valve LZMA streams and a CRC32 helper

  Tested against raw LZMA1 streams from Python's lzma module with three lc/lp/pb settings.

• #80

  Give GameFileSystem an asset cache with Source and Godot loaders registered

• #79

  Load shipped Garry's Mod models with materials and textures through the asset cache

• #78

  Register VTF, VMT and MDL data loaders on the asset cache

• #77

  Track file reads in asset loaders so mount changes revalidate them

• #76

  Add MDL, VVD and VTX readers with a studio model mesh builder

  Reads MDL 44-49 headers, bones, textures, skin families and body parts, VVD vertices, tangents and fixups, and VTX strip groups in the classic and v49 topology layouts. StudioModel checks the files agree, picks the skin, body group and LOD, unrolls strips, resolves materials through the texture directories and builds MeshData in Godot space.

• #75

  Use bare texture names in VMT MaterialData to match asset keys

• #74

  Add VMT reader with conditions, shader fallbacks and patch materials

  Evaluates DX/GPU/CPU level blocks, cond?$key keys and _dx9/_hdr_dx9 fallback blocks, follows patch include chains with insert and replace, and exposes typed parameter helpers, proxies, texture transforms and a MaterialData mapping.

• #73

  Add KeyValues option to close unterminated sections at end of file

  Source keeps what it parsed when a file ends inside a section; shipped VMTs such as props_lab/tank_glass001_dx60.vmt rely on that.

• #72

  Register Godot texture, material and mesh loaders on the asset cache

• #71

  Add asset cache with shared loads, cached failures and mount-aware revalidation

• #70

  Add asset resolver mapping Source asset names to mounted files

• #69

  Read unquoted brackets as values unless they start with $ or !

  VMTs write vectors such as $color [1 0.5 0] without quotes, which the tokenizer used to read as a condition.

• #68

  Add VTF reader with resource parsing, mip layout and pixel conversion

  Reads VTF 7.0-7.5 headers, the 7.3+ resource dictionary, envmap face counts and volume slices, and converts each supported image format to TextureData with the largest mip first. Adds Rg8, Rf, Rgbf, Bc4 and Bc5 to TextureFormat for UV88, R32F, RGB323232F, ATI1N and ATI2N.
