Rust dev is bored of paying Unity '$500k a year' to fix its engine and promises that his Garry's Mod successor won't hoodwink devs with fees

by Joshua Wolens

If you can cast your mind back to around this time last year, you might remember Garry Newman—him off of Garry's Mod, and founder of Facepunch Studios—announcing that "Unity can get fucked" in the wake of sudden, badly thought out changes to the engine's pricing scheme that would have seen devs fork over fees on a per-install basis once certain "fee thresholds" were met...

Update Highlights The Faceposer tool got some upgrades with this update, the model flexes can now be grouped into convenient, collapsible groups, making it easier to find what you are looking for at a glance. These groups are loaded from the models themselves, so the support for this feature is up to model makers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/bdd64f7fb2594f4090797c99a81eadc33230733f.jpg This update also comes with reworked default spawnlists, finally exposing every single model that comes with the base game, as well as pre-generated spawnicons for every single one. Please note that these new spawnlists may not appear for you until you delete existing spawnlists (garrysmod/settings/spawnlists/ folder) if you played Sandbox prior to this update. Be aware that this folder also includes your custom and modified spawnlists. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/61717b4ecc168bb1404fb2e59700216dec1a4507.jpg In addition to the new default spawnlists, you can now more easily create custom spawnlists for your ...

s a Birmingham lassie myself, I do have a patriotic soft spot for Facepunch Studios. The British developer has produced some mainstay PC gaming bangers: Garry's Mod changed the face of my YouTube recommended for several years, and players continue to run around as naked blokes smacking trees with rocks in Rust...

Garry Newman of Facepunch comments on the Nintendo takedown of Garry's Mod content

Garry’s mod is removing “Nintendo Stuff” after takedown notices, but users suspect foul play from fraudsters

Nintendo stuff on Steam Workshop

by Rubat

Some of you may have noticed that certain Nintendo related workshop items have recently been taken down. This is not a mistake, the takedowns came from Nintendo. Honestly, this is fair enough. This is Nintendo's content and what they allow and don't allow is up to them. They don't want you playing with that stuff in Garry's Mod - that's their decision, we have to respect that and take down as much as we can. This is an ongoing process, as we have 20 years of uploads to go through. If you want to help us by deleting your Nintendo related uploads and never uploading them again, that would help us a lot.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/5e35923425e0398146e7ca4dc5f964015041fa98.jpg Artwork showcased: "Job" The March 2024 Update is now live. New Crosshairs This update brings a new default crosshair for the base game, as well as ability to customize your crosshair. This is usually fulfilled by using addons, but the default crosshair had a long standing issue of being impossible to see on bright backgrounds, so a new one was well overdue. You can now customize the crosshair in the Options menu: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/ffd9b3aab826a22ede1e520fb4d0d58784e6de29.png (You can reset the slider values by middle mouse clicking on them! It works in many places!) The new default crosshair, a dot image, is visible no matter what you are looking at. You can still use the old crosshair if you really must, via the aforementioned crosshair customization. The options menu was also changed a bit: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/742793/962da7f043f2a3d046fe8c077b95c2e4a232ae27.png Bringing some of the more obscure settings to...

Hello everyone, The next Garry's Mod update is coming soon. The current plan is to release the next Garry's Mod update on 13th of March at 4PM GMT. This update will be backwards compatible with existing servers, so servers do not need immediate updating and players can still join old servers, but it is still highly recommended to update as soon as the update releases to get all the new features and fixes. You can preview the list of upcoming changes here: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Update_Preview_Changelog (Please note this list is still work in progress and is subject to change.) Regarding recent patches I know the recent security patches introduced a few issues into the game. I can understand that it may be frustrating when an addon worked before and stopping working after an update. But please understand that these patches were and are necessary to ensure security of the game for everyone. Sometimes there just isn't a way to fix a security issue without breaking something else....
