Halloween 2024 Update (v4.5)

The collisions for world models were not configured correctly during model compiling, leading to weapons that frequently get stuck in the ground. The world models have been updated to have proper physics collisions.

The AUG base prefab was configured with the wrong slots meaning wear and stickers were not applying properly, this has now been fixed.

Previously, the base texture used the normal texture, the grip was yellow which didn't look correct with PBN (Paint-By-Number) paints, as such all painted glocks now use a darker base texture.

Weapon paints now support having multiple options for the base texture.

If the standard AK-47 texture is too bright, Weapon Paint creators can now opt to have a black version of the AK-47 wood as their base texture. This change only applies to weapon paints that opt-in to this.

Modules as part of the Lambda Core Module system can now opt to load additional folders that are either SERVER, CLIENT or SHARED, to help make things more tidy.

Bots are here! And we're not talking about NPC Entities, but CPU bots that take up player slots and can move around the map, think of them as CS-Style bots.

At present, bots are available on Arms Race and the LambdaNet "Training" gamemode, and will be expanded to Prophunt & TTT in future.

A new in-game binds system has been added as part of this update. Now inspecting your weapon or opening the Graffiti UI no longer requires users to manually bind these actions through the console. Binds can be configured via the !options menu and the following bind actions are available:

• Drop Weapon (Default G)
• Inspect Weapon (Default F)
• Graffiti Menu (Default T)
• Buy Menu (Default B)
• Change Team (Default M)

If you already have binds for these keys, the new bind system will respect your current binds and will not run if an existing bind is detected.

If you have already binded Inspect weapon etc then you do not need to use the new system, you can continue to use your current binds as normal.

If you have binded the Graffiti menu, this was previously bound to +alt1, this is now bound to +spraymenu

More information on the new bind system is available here: https://lambda.tf/docs/1-garrys-mod/article/26-key-binds

Winter is slowly approaching and the days are starting to get colder. Operation Arctic Siege is Lambda's fully fleged Operation that will run from October 2024 up until 1st Feburary 2025.

New missions are made available every week until the end of the operation. Missions give you stars which count towards your Pin progression, in addition you can spend stars on the Operation Shop which for the first time will change on a regular basis with new items available each month.

Tickets cost 500 LC and are purchasable in-game.

The Halloween 2024 Case contains 17 high quality skins created by the Lambda Community as part of the 2024 Halloween Content Creation competition. Now dropping in-game or available to purchase in the Operation Shop.

Bringing back 17 skins from WarZone, the Mystery & Myth case brings back skins that have a mysterious theme to them, including a rare item knife set also themed around Myths and Mysteries.

For some reason, the Purple variant was a copy of the Cyan colour, this has now been corrected.

All Glock-18 Patterns had a colour override to set the grip to black, with the new base texture system, this is no longer required.

Continuing with the theme from the two new cases, the Gods and Monsters collection brings the CS2 collection of the same name to Lambda. The Gods and Monsters collection is available via the Operation Shop up until the end of November 2024 or available for purchase as a collection package on the Lambda Store.

Lambda has come a long way since we launched in December 2023, as such Lambda is now in a position where we will start doing advertising and promotion of the servers, as part of this we will be hosting weekly events to join various servers to gain new players, Community Members who attend will receive a special Souvenir Package.

The Server Supporter Package is available at certain events which can be found https://lambda.tf/events/generic or in the Discord Event Calendar.

The 2024 Halloween Music Kit box contains 5 Halloween themed music kits and 2 brand new music kits, created by the Lambda Community.

The Standard and StatTrak™ boxes are now available to purchase in the In-game Store.

Now works more like CS2's Graffiti UI. Replaced "Secondary Fire to enable cursor" to showing the current binded key for Secondary Fire.

Collection icons would overlap.

cancelselect has now been blocked due to the new official supported way to create Escape Menus, removed running the command as it's no longer needed.

Arms Race now has bots! When a player joins Bots will also spawn bringing some life back to Arms Race - You can also complete daily challenges with bots.

The following styles have been removed as these are going to get re-writen:

• Backwards
• A/D
• HSW
• Real HSW
• Sideways
• W Only

These will return in the near future.
