Very nice Garry, just one question: Will the spawn icons be pre-cached(can't think of the word?) again? Like, we don't have to wait for them to load.

They already are pre-cached.

Then why do I have to "build spawn icons" when I restart Garrys Mod?

I don't know, does it finish building the icons when you're playing the first time?

How many spawnicons has it generated?

How many does it have to generate?

Does it actually say "Generating Spawn Icon xxx" in the chat area?

If it doesn't, that means it isn't actually generating the spawn icon - and your computer is just really slow.

Yes.

How many spawnicons has it generated?

I don't count.

How many does it have to generate?

How ever many icons are in the category

Does it actually say "Generating Spawn Icon xxx" in the chat area?

Yes, it does say that.

Around 25MB
That's only spawnicons (and some textfiles).

EDIT: Wait, garry released another revision.. It's a little over 30MB now...

That's not much at all.. It must be deleting them on quit or something?

Maybe they are read-only or something.. Check that.

The folder is read only, the files themselves are not.

Hm.. I though if you had the icons already and it tries to update them, but it can't remove them to it makes some temporary files, so it must create new every time.

Try remove the folder and rebuild all spawnicons. It is rebuilding all of them already every time, you got nothing to lose.

Wait, one quick thing- I check my SteamMods folder and it says I have Gmod 9 when I have 10, is that normal?

Gmod '10' isn't in your SourceMods folder.

No! Now you must buy 10 copies of GMod 10 to be able to play GMod 10 again!

Could this mean non Gmod owners could try the beta? I have a friend that had it buy his account with it got VAC banned and his new account doesn't have gmod(yet.).

Updating, woo.

I'm going to pray to my god and hope that this won't crash on startup like the Orange Box games are currently doing.

(Yes, I have an old card. This GeForce4 MX 4000 has been with me forever, but of course there has to be a stopping point somewhere. Let's hope I get a new card soon. (Okay, I'm done, sorry for being offtopic. :P))

You can still play GMod fine when you're VAC banned provided the game you were VAC banned on wasn't GMod..

Not the way VAC works. If you get banned on CSS, you get banned from ALL source games. If you get banned on DoD:S, you get banned from ALL source games. Garrys Mod is different, it seems that it doesn't use VAC as a friend of mine can still play on every Garrys Mod server and he's banned.

I wonder what happens when I copy the stuff I got from SVN in the normal garrysmod/garrysmod folder. *tries out*

Edit:

Nothing happens, but some lua-errors pop up. :( But it was worth a try.

what svn client do you use?
If your svn folders have ticks of something like than on them, it's porably just your svn client.

Don't we need a hl2.exe as well, or do mods just use a hl2.exe from another game?

Since GMod modifies the Source engine I think we'll get a hl2.exe too.

Who said that? Gmod 10 is still only mod for hl2 which uses SDK code. In steam version exe used only for launching steam.
