It's an amazing tech demo, but not super fun as a game mode. I would love to see something more comprehensive like a horror game mode or something that is fun from a gameplay perspective. Otherwise very cool and interesting.

seems like sprint/lidar size+ is broken

multiplayer lidar version pls

so theres a red man

skill issue

It's good, source engine code is a mess when you do any change lmao!

Hey! So what you're saying is that saves in this gamemode don't load properly, but others do? Maybe that's just a LIDAR thing, sorry about that

Hey so, normally I can get this to work in saves.
But when now when I load saves with this on, it doesn't work?
Is this a issue with a Gmod update? Or something I'm just not understanding?

Personally, I think this is the definitive LIDAR experience. The expanded colors work well to aid awareness, but it's still creepy and unsettling as hell. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to drop Red Man and download the "crossover" mod, but as an absolute lightweight when it comes to spooky stuff, I still think you should try this version of LIDAR, it's the total package.

reminds me of faith the unholy trinity

The command was recently removed as Gmod refused to load the mod

It doesn't recognise the change_color_based_on_distance commands

No problem, thank you for forgiving me!

That was the issue I was having, too. Thanks for the fix!

Thank you for informing me of this issue, I have reverted to an older version of the mod which now works.
I don't know what's causing this, when I have the new version in my addons folder it works just fine, but the workshop version indeed won't show up. I am terribly sorry for the trouble I've caused you and I'm really grateful you informed me!

I have switched to the normal branch and disabled all other mods (expect for a lidar map) and it still does not show up. my shift key also does not work on gmod. any ideas?

This is a modification of the LIDAR gamemode that adds more colors to the scanner, however it's packaged as a seperate gamemode, you don't need the original LIDAR

Is this meant to be its own gamemode or does it just modify the original LIDAR mode?

Nice!

yeah that fixed it, if anyone sees this try that :^)

Did you try the normal branches already?

same issue, tried that didnt work, im on chromium

Disable all addons (really, all) except ONE of the LIDARs and play on gm_construct. If it works then it must be one of the addons.
If it still causes problems, then try a different Gmod branch (like Chromium or normal)

all LIDAR addons get stuck after reaching "lua started", i only have LIDAR and some maps enabled

That is the default LIDAR gamemode, if you want them gone check out explorer's edition:

does this have any added entities? i ran into a black figure and a red one while scanning.

Yeah I figured.

Yep that's normal

Anyone else notice that LIDAR will flip maps or is it just me?

Here you go!

Cool, thanks

I'm gonna ask the Lidar Hacked author some time if I have permission to cross over our mods

Could you please make a version of this but turning off the screamer?

Turning off my mods for whatever reason screws up a whole lot of configs, so I won't be doing that. Too bad.

I don't know why I have to use LIDAR on a vanilla GMod when none of the addons I have are anything more than content mods that don't affect anything outside of sandbox. Why can't LIDAR just cope. I don't have any other LIDAR mods installed.

Nice to hear you've had a look into it, suprised that its as few as 2,500 dots, it looks alot more. Thanks.

That's very odd. I use the "x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit binaries" beta branch in Steam and never had these problems. I also just tested the game using the 64 bit launch option in Steam, everything worked.

Make sure all other addons are disabled and that you have no local addons installed (aka. normal / manually installed folders in the addons folder that aren't the gma files). LIDAR can be very sensitive towards them.

Also, some alternate LIDAR mods do not change the names of certain file locations, making them override each other, that's why you should also disable them.

So, you are the only one who can answer this, as the original author of the LIDAR mod has no comment section.

Nothing shows up except maybe some rectangles, LIDAR gun scans only create dots on very specific surfaces. I can enter any map and only very few surfaces are being scanned. The ground I walk on doesn't get dotted, making the mod completely useless and unplayable.

I'm using the experimental x64 branch of gmod, which I think is causing all this, but come on dude, can I not play this with 64-bit gmod?

I've attempted to make a sever setting that lets you cutomize it, however my attempts have failed after around a hour of tryin'.
Currently, the default amount set is 2500 dots.

Since the comments on the main mod are not present i'll ask here: Is there a way to increase the number of dots on the map at any one time?

After a long time scanning, previous dots will be erased, I'd like to prevent this.

Ah, it seems I understand you better now.
I've made serveral attempts at this, and I was able to write color and location into a txt file, however the performance was miserable - I suspected I might have put the fileWrite function into the wrong place, but I couldn't fix it.

I won't include it as it lags the game extremely and is crash prone as well, the amount of coordinates recorded as just too extreme.

Never mind - that would have been interesting to take the point cloud then render it in some specialist point cloud software. Especially if we could get the RGB of each point.

Sorry, I just tried printing his location and it didn't work
Also I don't have any experience in programming LUA/Gmod (I'm pretty much a script kiddie hahah) so I wouldn't know how to achieve that

Is it possible for the game to write the coordinates of the lidar hits to a text file?

Sorreh, there's already another mod for that and I don't want to meddle with the code so much as I might break other parts

Can you add a feature to disable scary man it f#cking sets me off

The creatue and all kinds of flesh are still red

and hostil is red?

Unless it's got the same material as the walls :D ;_;

Lidar,but you can find the door.
