It's good, source engine code is a mess when you do any change lmao!
Freef  [author] Apr 26, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
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
Yadin Apr 26, 2024 @ 12:45pm 
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
Freef  [author] Feb 2, 2024 @ 5:39am 
The command was recently removed as Gmod refused to load the mod

It doesn't recognise the change_color_based_on_distance commands
Freef  [author] Dec 11, 2023 @ 6:51am 
No problem, thank you for forgiving me!
Paynamia Dec 10, 2023 @ 5:16pm 
That was the issue I was having, too. Thanks for the fix!
Freef  [author] Dec 10, 2023 @ 10:14am 
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?
Freef  [author] Dec 10, 2023 @ 2:45am 
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
Paynamia Dec 10, 2023 @ 12:59am 
Is this meant to be its own gamemode or does it just modify the original LIDAR mode?
Freef  [author] May 23, 2023 @ 8:45am 
Nice!
TBgλmer May 22, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
yeah that fixed it, if anyone sees this try that :^)
Freef  [author] May 22, 2023 @ 10:19am 
Did you try the normal branches already?
TBgλmer May 21, 2023 @ 2:34pm 
same issue, tried that didnt work, im on chromium
Freef  [author] Apr 22, 2023 @ 5:06am 
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)
Kebabit Apr 22, 2023 @ 4:25am 
all LIDAR addons get stuck after reaching "lua started", i only have LIDAR and some maps enabled
Freef  [author] Mar 8, 2023 @ 3:24am 
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.
MidgetThrower551 Sep 13, 2022 @ 3:55pm 
Yeah I figured.
Freef  [author] Sep 13, 2022 @ 9:48am 
Yep that's normal
MidgetThrower551 Sep 12, 2022 @ 3:31pm 
Anyone else notice that LIDAR will flip maps or is it just me?

Cool, thanks
Freef  [author] Aug 16, 2022 @ 6:18pm 
I'm gonna ask the Lidar Hacked author some time if I have permission to cross over our mods
Rage Bros Inc Aug 16, 2022 @ 5:52pm 
Could you please make a version of this but turning off the screamer?
tmo97 Aug 8, 2022 @ 1:41pm 
Turning off my mods for whatever reason screws up a whole lot of configs, so I won't be doing that. Too bad.
tmo97 Aug 8, 2022 @ 1:40pm 
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.
Freef  [author] Aug 8, 2022 @ 3:26am 
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.
tmo97 Aug 7, 2022 @ 3:32pm 
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?
Freef  [author] Aug 7, 2022 @ 1:22pm 
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.
Doggo Aug 7, 2022 @ 12:25pm 
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.
Freef  [author] Aug 4, 2022 @ 8:28am 
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.
whitling2k Aug 4, 2022 @ 6:49am 
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.
Freef  [author] Aug 3, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
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
whitling2k Aug 3, 2022 @ 1:57pm 
Is it possible for the game to write the coordinates of the lidar hits to a text file?
Freef  [author] Jul 30, 2022 @ 2:21pm 
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
Borekk Jul 30, 2022 @ 12:49pm 
Can you add a feature to disable scary man it f#cking sets me off :steamsad:
Freef  [author] Jul 17, 2022 @ 10:06am 
The creatue and all kinds of flesh are still red
ju.sillig Jul 17, 2022 @ 8:29am 
and hostil is red?
Freef  [author] Jul 13, 2022 @ 7:10am 
Unless it's got the same material as the walls :D ;_;

Lidar,but you can find the door.
Freef  [author] Jul 10, 2022 @ 11:53am 
Coelacanth Jul 10, 2022 @ 7:39am 
can you make a less colors mod? i wish there was an all white dots mod so you can barely see and it makes it a whole lot scarier.
