SProps - Tiled Triangles, Cylinders, Fittings, More - Garry's Mod

Added some European plates, Frankess did most of the skins, thanks! Also, [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10388108/modelpack/downloads/spawnicons.rar]here is a link[/url] to a .rar with all of the spawnicons, in case you don't want to render them all yourself. I will update this periodically.

Welp, Unrezt has been permabanned. Damn.

AND for a dumb reason. [quote="Garry"]"Oh noes! He voiced the thoughts of the majority of the Garry's Mod community on a public forum! Whatever shall we do? He must be removed!"[/quote] It just reinforces my belief that Garry doesn't want the building community around.

I'm hoping he is still gonna work on this, We just gotta update every once in a while maybe?

[QUOTE=MrWhite;40163044]AND for a dumb reason. It just reinforces my belief that Garry doesn't want the building community around.[/QUOTE] I'm afraid to agree to this, for fear of perma-ban.

People have been pestering garry for a while about bringing multicore back, and hes probably tired of it. Not only that but the way he said it was like a bitch slap to garry. Not saying he needed to be permabanned, but at least reprimanded

As we haven't heard anything about it from him other than "it doesn't work", it would sure seem that Garry doesn't see it as important. It sure would be nice if he'd come out and say what he plans on doing about the situation, but I'm doubting that that will ever happen.

When I said that Garry was targeting the building community, I was referring to the people getting banned. It seems that a lot of the bigger names in the building community are getting banned recently, including Karbine, Shadowscion, EvacX, Sestze, Wenli, and Vodkah.

I'm not banned :v: [editline]6th May 2013[/editline] Well except from your server :(

It's been obvious for a while to me, especially since GM13 that Garry doesn't want GMod to be a building game anymore. Like the removal of certain tools, making it harder to access certain things, removing some of the PHX Props from the spawnlist. Most of his changes have been pro-gamemode.

Then we should just make a vehiclebuild gamemode! :v: edit: Wenli got banned?

Just read the readme DO IT in the svn and found this.

[QUOTE=EvacX;40551045]Dunno a few weeks ago, for making an angry-british guy impression.[/QUOTE] You sure it was my server? I can't find your id in the banlist and I don't remember banning for any reason. I don't know why I would :3

[QUOTE=MrWhite;40553236]You sure it was my server? I can't find your id in the banlist and I don't remember banning for any reason. I don't know why I would :3[/QUOTE] Yeah it was your server, but it wasn't you who banned me. I just checked, I'm not banned anymore though.

[QUOTE=ricky23;40550281][readme text][/QUOTE] Man, what a pain. Yeah, I know these are Garry's forums, but jeez. It really wasn't necessary on Garry's part, especially not permanently. It was... really immature.

Look who's unbanned.

I seem to be having a problem with the gears where they're all just round plates.

[quote] [b]Q:[/b] The models in-game don't look like the pictures! [b]A:[/b] The cylinders, tubes, and most models in Misc all use LOD models. This means the further away you are from them, the lower quality they become. Unfortunately this also means you will have to play with model qualtiy set to High in order to see the real model. Really, you should have this set to high regardless of your computer, as it only affects those models with LODs anyway. [/quote] Turn model quality to high. This setting will only affect models that have LODs in the first place, making it pointless, as those models will switch regardless.

[QUOTE=unrezt;40718387]Turn model quality to high. This setting will only affect models that have LODs in the first place, making it pointless, as those models will switch regardless.[/QUOTE] There doesn't seem to be a visible model quality setting in the GM13 UI. I eventually found the right command to change the LOD level though, thanks.

[QUOTE=MrWhite;40723117][img]http://puu.sh/2Y12o.jpg[/img] It's not even part of the new UI. It's just in options->video->advanced[/QUOTE] That was already set for me, but my r_rootlod was still set to 1 rather than -1.

TBH I instantly fell in love with the new GUI back when 13 came out, but I agree that it seems as though the building aspect has died. I made a thread about it a while back but people... Laughed at me, called me paranoid. It makes me really sad, because I've never thought of Gmod of anything else than an epic physics sandbox, not some dumbass movie or web comic creator. (They made SFM for a reason, lol)

Right, couldn't post this for a while, even though this update is over a month old already. If you didn't know, I added fonts to the text props in the form of bodygroups. The fonts are Verdana, Impact, Georgia, and a Digital font. [img]http://gyazo.com/60730b8d4f357cf1c2078996465cfd4b.png[/img] If you want to use the fonts as holograms, you will need to make sure you wiremod is up to date, and then make use of these e2 functions: [code] holoBodygroup(number index,number bgrp_id,number bgrp_subid) Number = holoBodygroups(number index,number bgrp_id) [/code] The IDs start at zero, and the text props only have one root ID. For example, this will set hologram one to font two (Impact): [code] holoBodygroup(1, 0, 1) [/code] I also filled the gap between size 48 and size 96 plates and triangles in 6 unit increments like 6-48, this should help with building properly scaled vehicles, as most of them fall into this size range. I completely redid most of the spawn lists to make them more readable with these additions (as this adds several hundred new models), so don't forget to install those.

Unrezt, would it be too much to request more train wheel sizes?

If you can provide measurements so they are compatible with the phx railroad tracks, and the tracks that are on maps, sure.

Hey, unrezt, if you need something to add, how about the rest of the platonic solids (tetrahedron, octahdron, dodecahedron, and the icosahedron) :D
