Wiremod fails to load on Garry's Mod 'dev' beta #766

Closed Mista-Tea closed 9 years ago

Mista-Tea commented 9 years ago

See https://github.com/wiremod/wire/blob/master/lua/autorun/wire_load.lua#L18-22

This check causes Wiremod to entirely break on the server when on the Dev branch of GMod because its VERSION is currently 14.

Removing the check entirely resolves the loading issue.

However, it appears as though Expression 2 fails to load extensions after making the edit. Opening any E2 results in the "Loading extensions. Please try again in a few seconds..." message to be displayed indefinitely. Spawning any e2 has the same result.

Switching the server back to the main branch (of GMod) corrects the issue, so there may be more inherent issues than just the version check above.

Woops, thanks for the rename. I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of "branch" being interpreted as GitHub branches. :)

When will the gmod dev branch become official? Do we need to wait with this https://github.com/wiremod/wire/pull/762 until we've fixed these problems or is there no hurry?

Mista-Tea commented 9 years ago

The upcoming GMod update has been in limbo for around 6 months or so. Kilburn said he'd try to have it out in a few weeks, 3 weeks ago (http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1374457&p=46586516&viewfull=1#post46586516).

I think I recall reading somewhere, probably in Next Update, that Linux and/or Mac versions of the dev branch were failing to compile, which may contribute to the delay.

Anyway, the point is the update could possibly come out soon, or it could be after the new year. There's still no clear date and Kilburn has been distracted (playing TBoI:R apparently?).

soon™

Grocel commented 9 years ago

So far I have heard Kilburn is writing a Lua interface for TBoI:R or something, which is likely making him too busy for the GMod update.

About that version checking: The version isn't supposed to be that low, it's a bug which wasn't been reported jet apparently.
