Release Notes

The big change in this version is to the addon configuration.

• Previously, configuration was managed in a lua file- lua/damagelogs/config/config.lua
  • This made it impossible for Workshop users to configure the addon
  • It made updating the addon risky, as you may accidentally overwrite your configuration changes with the new files
• Now, configuration will be stored in a JSON file, in the server's data folder
  • gmod_server/garrysmod/data/damagelog/config.json
• The damagelogs will first try to load configuration from the lua file, then load configuration from the JSON file
  • Configuration settings in the JSON file will overwrite the settings from the lua file

The wiki has been updated to document how the new system works and what each setting is for.
