THE BIGGEST MOD!

Fixed flamewave dealing friendly fire damage
Fixed afterimages (again)
Still don't know what causes the sword trails to crash, if that happens please disable them in the FF7 DrG settings

i don't own dying light, sorry

hey roachisserie chicken pls make a dying light the beast mod with the special infected in it because i see resident evil and other zombie game npcs is what you like making and make the chimeras and bosses too!

have fun with it!

Crash issue has been solved now after I disabled his sword trails. tysm.

yeah the attack does nothing if sephiroth is already dead, just disappears in a white flash

well it didn't kill the fun gang so i guess kris defeated sephiroth before it could kill them.

yessir that is divine proclamation, its supposed to kill everything but optionally it can end your game

so i had a bit of fun with your sephiroth mod and pitted him against kris, susie, noelle, berdly, and ralsei and they got to the final phase and sephy did... somthing, and as kris dealt the final blow everything went white and a vortex appeared in the sky. is that supposed to happen? is it supposed to be the timed meteor segment in remake? either way i liked the mod, keep up the good work.

oh huh, that's very strange, the afterimages have nothing to do with it then, its... to do with his sword swing trails?

and all of this bascially loops over and over

that would be nice yeah

btw I've asked rubat about that sprite error and this was his response:

The warning is very self explanatory - you are (or something on your game) is using a sprite as a model on an entity.

I can try adding the entity's classname to the warning to maybe help pin it down.

i don't own far cry 4

can you make the yeti from far cry 4?

Also one thing i forgot to mention, that sprite error which i have talked about is actually lagging my game and i greatly believe it's associated with the crash

yea man i'm no programmer to know what the bot saying upfront but i hope any of the information I gave you help you

ah yeah chatgpt as usual gave you the wrong information with the utmost confidence, i'm not drawing any sprites with the afterimages, they're full 3d models

your second response proves it, with the quote
"[C]:-1 means the crash happened inside C++ engine code (not Lua itself), likely because Lua gave it an invalid model — in your case, a deprecated sprite."

i'm looking into it though, please stay tuned

I've asked chatgpt whether if that error that i was getting in the console was related to the lua crash log and they said yes, it appears to be directly connected to that carsh. here is what they said:

Yes — this is directly related to the sprite model error you mentioned, and it explains why your game is lagging and crashing sometimes. Let me break it down.

🔹 What this crash log is telling us
-Lua Stack Traces- ==================
Client 0.
DrawModel - [C]:-1
1. v - lua/entities/drg_roach_ff7_eb0021.lua:2744
2. (null) - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:102
Server *Not in Lua call OR Lua has panicked*
MenuSystem *Not in Lua call OR Lua has panicked*


DrawModel / [C]:-1

This is the engine trying to draw a model.

[C]:-1 means the crash happened inside C++ engine code (not Lua itself), likely because Lua gave it an invalid model — in your case, a deprecated sprite.

lua/entities/drg_roach_ff7_eb0021.lua:2744

This is the line in your Lua script where it tried to draw or set the model.

This is almost certainly where the old sprite model is being used.

(null) - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:102

The script was running inside a hook (like Think, Draw, or Render) when it failed.

Hooks are called every frame — if the invalid sprite is used here, it can spam the engine tens of thousands of times, causing lag.

Server *Not in Lua call OR Lua has panicked*

This means the Lua VM itself got overwhelmed or the engine panicked.

When Lua “panics,” it can no longer safely execute scripts until the error is handled or the engine restarts the Lua state.

🔹 Connection to your sprite model error

Your previous error:

Sprite model's not supported any more except in legacy temp ents (x32752)


Shows that the script is repeatedly trying to use a deprecated sprite model.

The Lua crash log shows that the repeated attempts are overwhelming the Lua VM and/or engine, resulting in stack traces and panics.

✅ In short: yes, these are the same underlying problem — your Lua script is using old sprite models in a way the engine no longer allows, and doing so every frame is eventually crashing or lagging the game.

🔹 What to do

Locate the offending code (line 2744 in drg_roach_ff7_eb0021.lua).

Replace the old sprite model call with either:

render.DrawSprite() for visual effects, or

ParticleEffect() if it’s a temporary visual effect.

Add checks to prevent the function from running too often:

if not IsValid(self) then return end


Optional: Throttle the effect — don’t spawn/draw every frame if not needed.

which was?

ask chatgpt, i've asked them and they kinda gave a useful response

(valve really need to add an edit button to comments omg)

unfortunately i have no idea what that error means, even googling it brought up like 3 results, all of which were mapping related

no

interesting... did you tell rubat this?

@roachisserie chicken wait there is another important thing

There was this error that has been flooding my console constantly whenever sephiroth wraps or something like that.. it sometimes massively barrages this error on certain wraps that sephiroth does

here is it

ERROR: Sprite model's not supported any more except in legacy temp ents (x32752)

that 2744 line is actually super helpful, thanks! i'll check it out

@roachisserie chicken i've gotten response from rubat and they said

The crash is associated with a popup message that tells you what is wrong.

***** OUT OF MEMORY! attempted allocation size: 81920 ****

Your game client was trying to render too many things at the same time with multicore rendering active.

please make an tlou mod

alright emailed them.. also noticed there was a txt crash file aswell created alongside the dmp and here what it says

Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin\win64\gmod.exe

well i'd just take it to rubat myself in that case, you don't get moderated for sending rubat a crash dump file

and the reason i can't examine it myself is because rubat alone has the debug symbols for gmod, i could *look* at a dmp file but i'd have NO idea where in the code the game crashed

and also yea it did pop up a window that tells me which version to prefer ans I went with the proper 64 bit version and this confirmed by that small popup that appears in the top right corner in gmod where it tells you you're on the 64 bit version.

if you want i can send you the dmp files or anything else you'll need if you know a way

also i'm not dming some admin about that as it's neither their addon or allow DMs and i fear a moderation action

i'm on exactly x86-64 - chromium - 64 bit binaries

if you've 100% confirmed you actually are playing on the 64 bit version then all i can suggest is joining the gmod discord and sending your crash dump file (.dmp files kept in your garrysmod install folder) to rubat so he can find out exactly where in the game it crashed and what exactly it was doing

you might be on the 64 bit branch but are you actually playing the 64 bit version? when you first switched to it, and tried to launch the game, steam popped up with a window asking you which version you want to launch

annoyingly, "play garry's mod" and "play garry's mod - 32 bit" are the same, and you need to specifically choose the 64 bit version

the reason i'm zoning in on this so much is because the 32 bit version of gmod is only allowed to allocate 4096mb of ram or 4 gigs, whereas yours is allocating roughly double that

beyond that i'm really genuinely unsure, because i've not found that this happens to anybody else, and i even halved the after image count for when he warps, since i remember you mentioning that had something to do with it

64 bit version

Here is what I have noticed so far

- The game crashes because it attempts to allocate exactly 8190MB of ram

- This happens more often in bigger and heavier map but still happens in all kinds of maps

- Regardless of using safe mode (disabling all addons besides this addon and it's dependeicies) it would still crash the game

- I have 32gb DDR5 5600 Ram and I was carefully monitoring my ram usage when using this addon, there was exactly 16200 MB of ram free, enough to allocate to the 8190MB of ram but still crashes

- vram has nothing to do with this as I had enough free space to accommodate the 8190MB aswell


I don't know tbh but I feel like that I need to put the blame on the dynamic hair and cloth physics which you gave to seiphiroth

wait are you on the 64 bit version of gmod?

yea just tried disabling everything it keeps crashing gmod as it tried to allocate 8100MB of ram.. not sure whether is that vram just my ram but regardless i already had more than enough.. sad to see cool addon like this being almost unusable

ain't no way 32gb ddr5 can't handle a gmod addon

Reduced after image entity count to hopefully address issues with users who have a small amount of ram

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

prolly is the best one ngl

Amazing job, this is one of the best nextbots in this game, had a lot of fun with him fighting other nextbots

thank you

enabled

hi stupid question but when you say "too many addons" do you mean subscribed or enabled?
