Merge fixes

Disable deployable corpse system in softcore Increase max TCs in softcore from 3 -> 6 - fix "changelog" in main menu not reflecting the max TC count when convar is changed

Removed the fail-safe that disables shadows for lights with an AmbientLightLOD component on awake as the components have been set up wrong for a lot of lights, meaning this just causes more issues

Fix entering play mode trying to change generate biome/place monument settings

Merge: from websocket_merge_write - Optim: reduce rustrelay tcp packet overhead Tests: booted local relay server, didn't see errors during streaming

Optim: websocket-sharp - merge header and payloiad into one write - release dll from 8d89ba4 commit This time on correct branch Tests: booted local relay server, didn't see errors during streaming

reduced SenseComponent overhead by about half - only gather eye information once per tick rather than per entity - reduced redundant calls into CanTarget

setting up rifle viewmodel prefab/anims

Reword and invert the inventory/crafting dpad convar and UI description so it's not confusing as fuck

Make surface.DrawPoly throw an error when giving invalid data * Specifically when giving it less than 3 verts Stop ropes being invisible in specific mcore circumstance * `r_queued_ropes 0; mat_queue_mode 2; gmod_mcore_test 1` is the exact scenario Restore functionality of sk_auto_reload_time * Requires gmod_suit set to 1. Value of 0 or below disables the feature. Enable ALT+F4 closing the game Make Get/SetNetworkAngles exist serverside for consistency * Also made these functions check for reasonable values Apply that getmetatable() LuaJIT fix someone wanted Handle context menu errors when "originator" panel is removed Fixed engine.LightStyle only updating static props once (Community Cont) Remove some map compile tool parameters * `-novconfig` - was non functional basically * `-vproject` - same as `-game`, irrelevant for GMod * `-x360`, `-nox360` - never existed * `-xbox` - Same as `-nodrawtriggers` + one other pointless option * Moved `-tmpout` from VVIS (doesn't exist) to VBSP (exists) * VBSP's `-virtualdispphysics` - never worked/doesn't exist * Document some undocumented VBSP params (Already documented on VDC, so nothing new) Added -noTJuncsDetail to VBSP from TF2 Apply T-Junction limit softcap (Community Contribution) * Apparently is now in TF2, prevents the compiler from just stopping Bump MAX_MAP_TEXINFO to the new TF2 limit (16k>32k) * The other changes are already in GMod Other map compile tool related changes * Remove redundant VRAD code + fix VRAD potentially adding new planes to the map * Increase limit of detail sprites added by VBSP to its new TF2 limit (2mil=>2bil) Make r_DrawBeams 2 affect sprite trails (to draw wireframe) Block envmap and lightprobe commands from Lua Replace usages of string.Explode with string.Split Properly fix env_microphone missing closed captions Make dedicated server workshop cleanup do it in correct folder * Was cleaning cache/workshop/ while saving files to cache/srcds/ * This separation helps ME PERSONALLY when running dedicated servers from the client install Fixed some dupes/saves/demos not loading * Specifically when they only have a single tag - Dupe, Save OR Demo Added more decompression self checks * Removed FastLZ fallback decompression attempt from util.Decompress - I don't think anything out there can actually hit it. Oldest dupes/saves on the workshop already use LZMA. util.Compress used LZMA since 2014 Material reading fixes Fix engine.CloseServer falsely claiming the server is shutting down Update file.Read blocklist * So it doesn't affect file and folder names in DATA path Added 9 new combine related props from licensee repo * Adjusted combine_booth_tall01b.vmt to be less extremely glossy * Preview: https://files.facepunch.com/rubat/2026/October08-3304-MeanIrishsetter.jpg Fixed missing material on that one CS:S prop and EP1 prop Make "failed to dlopen" skips case insensitive Update combine_booth_tall01b.vmt * Include $normalmapalphaenvmapmask but still commented out, just so uncommenting it makes it work better should anyone choose to do so at some point Fixed IN_MOVERIGHT/LEFT not activating from controller Fixed false positive for "SeekPut overflow" message Fixed Player:KeyDown in SP clientside not detecting controller move Fixed SetNWVarProxy callback's old value being the new value Make Entity:SetPos run trigger touch events Probably fixed Linux not building Fixed "is3DSkybox" variable not resetting when returning from hooks Fixed some missing textures on Half-Life 2: Episode 2 props Try to workaround Portal using same texture names as Ep2 Remove some unused libs from menu state Use a different delimiter for "last map" saves * One that can't naturally occur in filenames Change network transfer folder blacklist into a whitelist * Seems more logical to be this way * Also removed .ain from extension whitelist, since it's a useless for the client format that is no longer automatically sent anyway Try resolving a crash with recent change to Entity:SetPos Merged Pull Requests * Remove usage of a unnecessary Think hook in DOF post processing effect * Updated a comment in SurfaceProperties.txt Includes higher quality Eli Vance face texture from S1 repo Fixed typo in cam.End2D underflow error message

Fixed light occludees and LODs not being marked as dynamic when their entity is parented. Setting an entity dynamic only reached active children, so inactive renderers stayed static Fixes lamps on player boats disappearing after moving away from where they were switched on
