Haha, Gmod 10 is totally worth the £6.

Imagine gmod 9, with every negative point removed and a few new things added. So no more screwy text or crashing (which was a big problem with gmod 9 for me, all other versions had been fine

)

The improvement I like the most is how the ragdolls aren't totally screwy now. For example, if you position a bunch of ragdolls and weld their limbs together (for example welding gmans hand to breens crotch

), they'll actually stay like that if you throw them about, rather than spazzing up and being welded to some random bit of air a few few feet away from the other model, this works with welding them to props as well, so when I welded a nazi helmet to kleiners head and threw him around it actually stayed on his head.

I don't understand the muscle or hydrualic tools though, they seem to just extend to some random length, stay like that and freak out if you move the things on the end of them.

Garry himself!

for those that don't know the name "garry :D" is restricted so it can only be used by him. I had a chat with him, he said he's earned £1300 so far ( and for 2.50 each sale thats good ). and he said Gmod 11 is scheduled for September 2008

That's 500-odd copies which seems a little low given the mod's popularity, and if everyone here that messed around with previous versions is buying it, we'd represent 2-5% of the user base. Although sales are likely to increase quite a bit, it's worth bearing in mind if we have any ideas about things that could be implemented in future releases.

i expect the total is split over the whole of team garry. the bumber of sales is in the thousands i think

So when is the next GMOD10 Competition, and what's going to be the theme?

Something Christmas'y is in order

I'm sure the hoverballs would be useful for a sleigh. Or they would if I could get them to lift anything heavy.

Yeah I had that problem, you can only adjust the speed of the movement.

Would adding more do anything?

A Question: Is it worth making multiple weld points between the same 2 objects? The vids on youtube show people doing it but I thought it was pointless.

Gunslinger42 · Post by **Gunslinger42** » December 1st, 2006, 15:43

More balls = more lift

As for multiple weld points, I don't know if more weld points do anything, I only ever use one.

It can spack though.
According to the FacePunch forums it's best to use the PhysProps gun's Gravity setting. I shall give that a go later.

I think welds used to have a bit of give- slightly bendy. Extra welds held it in place firmly. No idea if that still applies.

I've still got no idea who magnetism works.

OK, allow me to answe all these.

single welds can be flimsy, but there isn't any need for multiple we3lds. However, if you're making something with more than 2 pieces it's good practice to weld every piece to every other piece, thus stabalising the whole thing.

As for hoverballs, 4 hoverballs is enough to make anything hover, just apply 1 to each corner. think about, if you only apply lift to one side then the other side wont lift. so you need to aim to achieve blanket lift. More than 4 is bad construction. Alternatively, one hoverball can be used if you apply the " Stay in place" tool (it's called something like that) to the vehicle, making the whole thing stay level.
