Major rope/cable bug.

[Kommandant4298]

Hi. Since the updates in March for Gmod came through, I've been hit with three bugs. Two of which I can deal with but there is one that's really annoying.

If I load a map with either telephone wires, electric cables or both, this happens:

And this is affecting around 75% of all the maps that I have at my disposal.

I've also noticed that in the lua errors, these messages come up:

If anyone knows whether this is a bug by the dev team or whether this is something caused by what I have and it can be fixed, let me know ASAP please, for this is affecting my work on Gmod.

And don't tell me to uninstall and re-install Gmod, for I have done that, and it didn't work.

Try to delete (or just move to another place) "Cable" folder from "materials". Then load map again. "Cable" folder may be in any game content addon on Source, so it's may conflict with vanilla "Cable" folder of Garry's Mod (Half-Life 2).

I think this can be locked, as I found out a few months ago that this was caused by the materials from L4D and L4D2 being loaded into my addons folder, and not being mounted on.

Having found that out, it's all working perfectly.

Thanks for the advice though.
