lua_reloadent - Garry's Mod

[B]THIS IS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPERS, IF YOU ARE NOT ONE THIS IS NOT USEFUL FOR YOU! [/B]Now down to business. I have taken the original lua_reloadent [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=769149"]made by tomylobo[/URL] and fixed it for the beta. Commands are as follows: [TABLE="class: grid, width: 600, align: left"] [TR] [TD]lua_reloadent(_sv or _cl optional)[/TD] [TD]for reloading currently existing entities[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]lua_loadent(_sv or _cl optional)[/TD] [TD]for loading currently unloaded entities[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=74980813"]Link to workshop page here[/URL]

I love this tool, it has been my beloved for a while :)

Actually this tool is pretty useless, since the lua_reloadents takes a lot less time then it used in GMod 12. (Unless you have shitload of entities) But I am sure some may find this useful.

Ok, I am confused or I am not getting something... There is already a lua_reloadents built into GMod 13/12, is there not?

[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;36197892]it leaks memory[/QUOTE] Out of curiosity, this has or has not been suggested to Garry for a fix?

[QUOTE=SeveredSkull;36198417]Out of curiosity, this has or has not been suggested to Garry for a fix?[/QUOTE] well I'd assume garry would've fixed it when he added it (if possible), but I'm not sure

Also, lua_reloadents still isn't as fast as using this to reload one entity. [QUOTE=SeveredSkull;36193835]Ok, I am confused or I am not getting something...

So yours is for only 1, rather than all of them... Nifty.

Yes there is, but it's slow, and I like to reload my single entity because it's faster.[/QUOTE] Of course reloading one entity is way faster then reloading all of them, but still it is taking maximum of 1-2 seconds if you have REALLY a lot of entites. And lua_reloadents does load new entities.

I don't remember you mailing or PMing me for permission to upload this to Steam Workshop... Steam Workshop legal agreement isn't quite compatible to some open source licenses, namely GPL and LGPL (in my opinion) back when I put this on google code, I knew nothing about licenses and I simply picked the one at the top of the alphabet: Apache License Are you sure you didn't breach that license by uploading to Steam Workshop? Anyway, I have since moved to GitHub, put it under the LGPL-derived SpoutDev license and fixed it for gmod 13 beta. [url]http://github.com/TomyLobo/lua_reloadent[/url] [editline]15th June 2012[/editline] apparently apache license is very permissive. still, would have been nice to be asked [editline]15th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Robotboy655;36205988]Of course reloading one entity is way faster then reloading all of them, but still it is taking maximum of 1-2 seconds if you have REALLY a lot of entites.
