Comics #007-009
Sorry I didn’t do it on Thursday or whenever I was supposed to. I just forgot about it. Don’t kill me.
So the comics don’t overlap with the sidebar, I’ll use this space to explain them.
Comic #009 -
You’ll probably notice this one is extra long. Well, at the time, I wanted to wrap up this arc and get right into the main story line, which is surprisingly more like a squiggly line than a straight one. In Gmod 9, spawning a large amount of explosive barrels, such as how many Mingebag here spawned, and then blowing them up, will crash the game, due to all the gibs and parts that come off the barrels, calculating the physics for those gibs, as well as rendering the explosion. I used the ingame “Bloom” tool to brighten up that frame so the explosion would take on a more nuke-like appearance, something big enough to destroy a server…which it did.
In all honesty, the frame with the explosion didn’t have enough barrels to crash the game, or else I couldn’t get a screenshot. However, I did detonate the pile he was standing on (I had removed some later to get a picture of the explosion) so I could get a screenshot of the crash message following spamming too many objects in Gmod. This bug has pretty much been eliminated in Gmod 10. I’ve tried, and it’s extremely difficult in single player and on hosted servers (but not impossible, because the host’s computer might be worse than yours, and might not be able to handle it, and might crash anyway, timing everyone else out), and pretty much impossible on dedicated servers. That’s not to say it hasn’t been replaced with other methods Minges can use to crash servers.
No Comments? WTF?
I love your comics!
