Uclip v1.20 -- A noclip alternative!

[JamminR]

Additionally, Garry often breaks his own functions. It's one thing to upgrade/change a function so that it requires a mod's update (such as ULib's recent code changes, though we've attempted to use backwards compatibility when possible).
It's totally another where a function is totally broken, as is the case in several functions UClip uses of the Gmod Lua library.

So basicly you'rew saying that garry fu*ked up and we won't get the new/fixed UClip anytime soon, right?

What part of  our previous  posts have you  not understood?

Whether a mess up or a planned change, we've found no workarounds, and he's not been forthcoming if replacement functions are available. Two emails over 2 months. No reply.

Let's see... I understood everything you said, even the part that...

There is no (dev time worthy) simple way to fix Garry's broken code.

So this means there is a way, but you just don't want to do it.

I guess you answered your own question

And this is where that question "Why??" appears.

When feasable in the past, we've written work-arounds for Garry's changed and or broken bits.
This time however, it's an actual broken change in his lua engine bindings.
We do not have time to rewrite the engine for him since it would require reverse engineering of his compiled source code.
Not only that, since Gmod uses and incorporates Valve source code, there are probably legality issues there.

Garry must fix this, or provide new working functions to do the same

I see...

garry isnt going to fix it for you, as he mentiont earler on his blog:
"The makers of an addon are the people that are responsible by keeping it up to date to work with the latest version or update of Garry's Mod."
So i think the ball is in ur hands, go recode it and do a pleasure to many, many people.

Garry, go to ...

Mastermind1996, Garry didn't write that.

As we've stated already, but you like to ignore, we normally work around his lua changes/breakages.
We've had to do this many times with our other projects.
Though an annoyance, we did it, and done it, often.

Key engine bindings that UClip used no longer work.
Not just lua bits that we can rework, but actual engine commands that feed data to the lua.

Since it seems most of the postings over the past 2-3 pages here have been regarding when will it be fixed, I'm locking this thread.

If the engine gets fixed, we can reopen it.

Thanks to a brilliant workaround by Ryno-SauruS, Uclip is now working again. The latest version on svn (http://ulyssesmod.net/Uclip) is available NOW for your noclip-alternative pleasure. Please send your thanks to Ryno-SauruS!

   * [FIX] Added a workaround for garry's broken movement system. This was added by Ryno-SauruS. Give him many thanks!
   * [REMOVE] Hacks for hooking into (now way outdated) prop protectors. CPPI is adequate for our purposes.

This will probably be released in .zip form tomorrow.

Hi all! To anyone that's having issues/annoyances involving when you un-noclip (such as being flung hard toward the ground), I have fixed this issue and sent the new code to Megiddo.
He will probably update the SVN with it when he gets time.

[Megiddo]

Pushed the above.

Is this compatible with UPS?
