And I''m afraid the last of the great bug fixers of old have long since departed, because to work anymore on this would require a complete rework of the entire mod.

jesus that was fast lol, but yea gmod breaks their mods

yep, ya know man there are a few things that were fixed too. Like the dreaded Aperture LIB just entering the shadow realm, that was fixed by a recent update. No one is gonna work on this so maybe you could learn some lua regarding envmapmask and fix it.

well, I am planning to learn how to code in middle school but I dont think I would work on this though since its like discontinued pretty much, but whats the Dreaded Aperure Lib

When The Aperture first appeared on the workshop it had a rather odd code structure. The OG addon had a code base (similar to the NPC bases like VJbase but for tools) everything else was built on top of this LUA base, using its rules and adding assets to them, this base was called "Aperture LIB". However for one reason of another this part of the addon would sever its connection with the Gmod client (meaning it exists but cannot be found) when all the assets on top still existed. This is the equivelant of your lungs no longer existing, you die. Without its base the assets simply refused to function and died.

oh but thanks I mean I wish someone else could make the gel gun from Aperture tag with the sounds from each gel and with all 6 gels (yes I included cleansing gel)

there was an old workshop addon that had buckets which would coat the ground in orange and blue, doesn't work anymore though.

weird didn't work for me.

Yea

Well I hope someone can remake ONLY the gel gun from the mod with all the gels and the aperture compatibility and the weapon name should be weapon_gelgun

and it will have
Repulsion Gel
Propulsion Gel
Conversion Gel
Adhesion Gel
Reflection Gel

and it would work all the gels would and it would have sounds and maybe better quality like portal 2's gel quality

oh hey I found out why the gel won't work.


"In Source 2007 games, using an $envmapmask which is not stored in a subfolder will cause the texture to fail loading in-game." - https://developer.valvesoftware.com

the new workshop update likely moved the subfolder this is referring too, thus creating the glitch we see.

so they moved it out of a subfolder

and also that solved the problem to my question 'Why isnt the gel showing?'
