This update brings mounting support for both The Stanley Parable and Fistful of Frags. Like any other supported game, you can mount game directly from the main menu (as long as you own them on Steam and have them installed) or via the mount.cfg configuration file (as long as you have the game content downloaded). This update also addresses a long standing issue of voice chat quality. With the changes in this update hopefully voice chat in Garry's Mod will sound much better than it used to. The new changes may cause the voice chat to be quieter than it used to be, but this is something that people will need to adjust in either the updated Voice options tab or in their PC microphone settings.

Misc highlights from the changelog:
- There's a new Steam Voice Options tab in the options menu.
- Godmode now works in singleplayer.
- Max FPS can now be changed while playing, instead of only on the main menu.
- The Facepunch logo has been changed on the startup screen.
- Balloons, Buttons and Emitters can now be made transparent through the alpha channel on the Color tool.
- Spawnmenu search prop indexer now uses a notification with a progress bar over the blue progress bar.
- Weapons dropped by players no longer give extra reserve ammo when picked back up.
- Added expected download size for Workshop file downloads when connecting to servers.
- Added icons for the 2 new CS:GO maps and for maps from new mountable games.
- You can now use tools like Balloons on brush entities such as GM Construct's colorable room and the mirror.

Please make sure to keep your game up to date on Steam, as we will be updating the server to this version shortly and you might not be able to play on the previous version!

It's nearly the end of the month which means the default map on the sandbox server needs to be changed. However, instead of just changing it myself like I've been doing in the past, I'll let you all vote for one!

The vote will continue until the 1st of May at 12:00 PM BST, at that point the votes will be collected and the default map will be changed! (Make sure to check our Discord #updates channel for whenever the vote concludes to see the final vote.)

Important announcement!

I know you've all been waiting for the server slots to double for over a month now, I'm sorry it's taken so long but I decided to use the opportunity to move the server away from our old hosting provider to a newer, more modern and overall better one. Due to this, the IP address of the server has now changed!

The new IP address is: sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045. To join using this IP, do either of the following:
- Click this link: steam://connect/sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045
- Click this link: https://conspiracyservers.com/join-sandbox
- Type connect sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045 in your in-game console.

To add the new IP address to your favourites, do either of the following:
- Open Steam, click View on the top left, click Servers, click Favourites, press Add a server, type sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045 in the prompt that appears.
- In-game, click Find Multiplayer Game, click Legacy Browser, click Favourites, press Add a server, type sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045 in the prompt that appears.

The old server will continue to stay up for a few days, to notify players who aren't in this Discord it's name has been changed to !!!! MOVED TO: sandbox.conspiracyservers.com:27045 !!!!. The server is locked though, so don't bother trying to join it.

Don't worry, the server is identical to how it was before. All saved data and configurations are the exact same, so you shouldn't notice a difference when playing aside from the increased slots and the hopefully better performance :D

That's all, have fun playing!

Neptune is hosting a TTT event this evening at 6pm GMT!

Feel free to join and bring along your friends too!

Once the server is open, you can join it via this IP: 89.34.96.23:27105.

The Garry's Mod January 2020 update is live!

The highlights of this update are as follows:

• Addons on the workshop now have a much higher size limit, up to 2GB whereas before it was 500MB.
  
• New addons on the workshop will display their real, uncompressed file size.
  
• New addons on the workshop will take up less space on your disk when subscribed to due to better compression.
  
• Players can now update their already uploaded dupes, saves and demos from within the game main menu.
  
• There's now a search bar in the context menu playermodel selector menu, making it easier to find specific playermodels.
  
• Light tool brightness has been limited to 20, before it was 255.
  
• Main menu now has a Dupes category so you can more easily manage/delete your saved dupes.

Important! This update changes the location where downloaded workshop addons are stored. They're no longer in `steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons`, instead they're now in `steamapps/workshop/content/4000`. Legacy (folder-based) addons however can still be installed within the old folder.

This is the first part of the January update, the second part should release on the 24th.
