[QUOTE=Jcw87;49943645]I think [url=https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-requests/issues/605]Lua created procedural textures[/url] should be added so that you can do this for any image format you can write code to read.[/QUOTE]
I've been planning on adding bindings for this. You'd still need to decode the PNG for this specific use case though.
Kind of unfortunate that the twitter bot cuts off the change log entries. The last few changes looked a kind of promising.

Note that some of the fixes might be fixing things that were only ever broken in the dev branch.
Can you add a method to add padding/margin of the text on a textentry, [t]http://i.imgur.com/mit2WrK.png[/t] I want to move the "Search..." text more to the right but I can't because there is no such method on the textentry component.

You know, until someone actually clicks on it and starts typing, and the text starts at the edge again.

You can manually force the text to prepend your spaces with each new character typed.

DTextEntry doesn't dock its text. It just draws it.

Why would I waste the very little development time I have on making work arounds when they are basic enough to be added to the game properly for everyone

If you think doing shit the wrong way makes you a good developer, that's fine by me, but some people don't want to throw a bunch of straws and bandaids together and call it a day.

I see your point, but it's not like what Chewgum wants to accomplish couldn't be done in like 5 lines and 60 seconds.
Is there a reliable way to determine (on client-side) when player has received snapshot or if player is receiving snapshot right now?
When there are lots of players and buildings on a server, it may take pretty long time for a player to receive snapshot on initial spawn.
But players don't know what is happening under the hood, so they are often very confused about why they can't move.
I want to show players 'loading...' text while they are still receiving snapshot.

when they connect and spawn or when roaming about? because everyone gets massive seconds-long freezes the first time they go to a new area on my server, per session - could it be that?

hook prerender, run function, remove prerender?

My issue is not about complete freezes.
What happens is player can look around, but he (almost) doesn't get any updates from the server while he is receiving snapshot.
He tries to move or write something to chat, but he doesn't see it happening on his screen for a long time.

sounds to me like you're sending too much data at once, only time that happens to me is when i send whole screen captures to the server

I don't think so... This happens to me sometimes when starting gm_construct in sandbox in singleplayer, I can't move in the first couple of seconds. I have no bloated addons or anything so don't go blaming it on that - although I'm sure addons can make the problem a lot worse.
It has to be the net messages or the excessive use of Garry vars ( nwvars1 ) as they're not sent during the entity snapshot ( which is done when you still see the final pips of the loading screen ), dtvars/networkvars and nwvars2 are sent during that.
I've been using NW2Vars a lot with my addons and by now can safely say they are totally stable. Will they replace normal NWVars any time soon?

NW2 Vars should be more stable and efficient if i remember right.
If you have used nw, its really retarded and shit can break easily.

NWVars used a deprecated networking system that networked variables on entities by raw string values and type juggled variables causing bizarre behavior when you tried to call, say, SetNWString with an entity. They're unpredicted which limits their usefulness in SWEPs and player movement hooks and super inefficient. They've been """deprecated""" for years now but because of their usefulness were never really phased out like they should've been. Stock GMod code still uses NWStrings to network the player's usergroup.
NWVars2 use a much more sane system more in line with how Source networks stuff internally. They're predicted and use stringtables instead of networking raw strings which saves on network usage and obey player PVS as well (which means entities that are out of view to the player won't try to network things with a player on the other side of the map).
Tons of people bitched when they were originally released because all of their old code which depended on the funky type juggling of the old NWVars was now broken and there were a few crashes here and there. There were also some people moaning about desynchronizations on the client but I suspect that was just intended behavior caused by entities being out of the client's PVS.

Basically old shitty nwvars < cool new nwvars. vinh fixed it.
confirmed with a bunch of other people; mounting a gma with car models in it on already error spawned cars crashes the client 100% of the time
i guess this was brought up earlier though?
