Nice to no longer have shadow flickering around Construct! A few potential issues I have come across today;
Some props can be broken - once they are broken/gibbed, they can no longer be undone nor does the Remove tool work on them. For props like the watermelon, TV or explosive barrel this isn't a problem because their gibs despawn, but for other things like the couch and water drum 1 - their gibs persist forever - making it impossible to ever remove them from the map.
The remover tool also cannot remove dropped weapons.
The remover tool cannot remove ragdolls of killed NPCs/they cannot be undone (a killed Scientist NPC in this case)
Explosive barrels only do about 15 damage when they explode if you are standing right next to them.
Dialogue from the NPCs has weird placement and whichever bone it is attached to (possibly a hand?) moves a lot when they are running, making it very hard to read if they are not completely stationary.
Gunshot decals/placement on NPCs seem to be a bit broken, a lot of the time they do not appear and when they do, they seem to clip in and out and are only visible in a few certain poses/frames of an animation. When the NPC is dead and ragdolled the gunshot decals work great though, it's only when they are alive.
devultj, I finally got around to setup a 24/7 Sandbox Game server with my own map, and here’s what I can say:
Thanks for the nostalgia, I ran a Sandbox server in Garry’s Mod for about four years, and I could really feel all the same issues we had back then
say console command to post in the chat from the server
cleanup {steamid} console command to clear everything from a player
cleanup command to clear everything in general
I’m busy with my own projects right now, but as soon as I have more free time, I’ll write down all the issues I encountered and there were a lot of them.
Not specific to Sandbox Mode but achievements are stuck on the screen after you achieve them.
Weld tool's grid only appears once after you pull out the toolgun or swap to the weld tool. Once you stop looking at the object with the grid on it, the grid doesn't return.Physgun/held weapons also get stuck inside of dead players/ragdolls.
First off, really nice to finally see Sandbox released — it’s a great starting point.
I was just wondering if there are any plans to expand addon capabilities beyond entities in the future. Right now it feels a bit limited, but that’s totally understandable given how early things are.
Long term, will we be able to create and extend things like tools, weapons, UI/options, or even aspects of the core gamemode ourselves, similar to how it worked in Garry’s Mod?
No rush of course — just curious if this is something that’s planned, or if there’s any rough direction/timeline for it.
Spawning two NPCs together (or just spawning an NPC on the side of another NPC) makes them less vertically inclined for a bit longer than I would have expected.
I seem to get some pretty intense shadow issues when I have two lights around the same area. Not sure if this is limited only to s&box or if it's an engine thing.
Came across a weird issue where the player gets caught sprinting along a certain strip in Construct. I don't really know if this is a map thing, or a player controller thing? But I'll mention it here anyway.
