enable super gravity gun is such a time saver because before it was in the game but u needed to put in a command ugh I love it when gmod imports quality of life changes like this especially love when they added the subscribe to all required addons on the steam workshop page that was amazing for me! lmao

[@maxinemaxie_]

Those server options such as realistic fall damage and HEV suit functionality were already accessible through the spawn menu, they just added shortcuts in the context menu for them

[@steventechno]

I love the new crosshair! For the longest time I had been using an aftermarket one because, well. the OG tends to blend in a lot. A bit of a long overdue tweak, but a very welcome one at that. I'm loving the QoL Improvements lately! It's starting to remind me of the old days again!

It appears that most people playing Gmod never go further than the normal spawnmenu or tools section...

[@jaszkowaenduroteam9013]

I like tiny crosshairs cause it’s super exact

[@logprb5048]

seems like they used the Crosshair customizer from CS2, it's pretty much the exact same functionality. same exact customization options and even the preview idea. and the "classic" crosshair is the crosshair from old CS, it's also an option in CS2.

[@M1sterN1ppy]

you could always enable realistic fall damage since it is one of the options when starting the game. What they did was move the server settings to the game

The "Classic" crosshair is actually named so because it's the crosshair from GoldSource games. GoldSrc games such as Half-Life 1 Deathmatch, Counter-Strike 1.6 and Team Fortress : Brotherhood of Arms used this crosshair and you could also add a dot, increase the size of the arms and make it T-shaped just like you now can in Garry's Mod.

Just a quick correction on the name, it's S&Box. And yes, he's currently working on this new game, which isn't Gmod, but for Source 2. Its basically a game tool to create other games inside of it- similar to Roblox, but Source 2

[@noahshad09]

It’s S&Box, not that it really matters. Also Garry has been working on S&Box for a few years now, he just finally retired from Gmod.

[@Fireafyanimations299]

Note: the SCGG ( Supercharged Grav Gun) has been already in the game by default, you just needed a console command to get it before this patch was released

[@PrestonFrankel]

The new skin selection mode is awesome. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to go through the stuff I have downloaded that have like 50 skins

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

Pretty darn amazing update, I have got to say. I only wish regular Gravity Gun and Supercharged Gravity Gun were separate weapons you could have and maybe we might also see official Portal Gun weapon for Portal 1 owners who have it mounted? That would be sick.

[@cursedhawkins1305]

I don't know if it's possible to separate the two versions of the GG since they would likely occupy the same thing in the code, the best we had was the Physics gun which if I remember correctly with the right colors for your playermodel of choice (if it supported them) could look identical to the SGG.

[@AdminHouse]

Try using the console command “physcannon_mega_enabled 1”

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

@@cursedhawkins1305 Yeah, except Physgun is still just the Physgun. It's only using same model and textures but it's not Gravity Gun or Supercharged version. I do wonder though, technically I'm sure it _could_ still be possible to change the code you mention to separate it. I imagine it might just not be worth the effort and time if they are somehow deeply connected to each other somewhere in code. Then again, my point is here just that it's likely not impossible, it would just possibly require quite a lot of code rewriting and changes which Facepunch but might not be interested in doing.

[@NecrosVideos]

I was hoping for a portal gun! But seeing how difficult it is for addon creators to make it work with gmod had me doubting it, oh well!

I believe the HEV Suit and Supercharged Grav Gun were in Gmod for a good little bit now. HEV Suit had to be enabled on the server setup menu before loading a map and the latter had to be enabled thru console commands. Really cool that they made that way easier now.

no, unless you have add-ons the only way you could manually enable supergrav before was console commands. are you thinking of when they did a pre release thing for testing?

[@ChocoRainbowCorn]

@@gamertypeawesome Yeah, exactly why I was surprised at the comment but just brushed it off as maybe not remembering it. I only always remembered hearing that it can be enabled but only via commands so I never bothered and went for addon versions instead (which still suck sometimes because they are obviously not perfect recreations and also lag themselves while being used).
