The goal of this branch is to be able to create our own dlls that are compatible with gmod.
There is also the gmod-improvements branch, which will contain bug fixes or improvements.

NOTE

I just rebased this entire branch to have the 64x stuff :D
So stuff might be broken.

List of dlls that are worked on:

• vstdlist.dll (Everything was reverted.)
• studiorender.dll (Only works with studio_queue_mode, BUG: pCallQueue->QueueCall causes a crash! QUEUE_STUDIORENDER_CALL)
• filesystem_stdio.dll (Something broke and idk what) Progress:
• Update Steamworks
• Implementing basic Gmod functions
• Implement Language System
• Implement Gamemode System
• Implement GameDepot System
• Implement Addon System
• • Implement GetSubscriptions
• • Implement cfg/addonnomount.txt (BUG: Crashes when Saved)
• • Implement Addon Mounting
• • Implement Addon Download

List of currently (probably)working dlls:

• datacache.dll
• icudt.dll (IDK what it even does xd)
• icudt42.dll (IDK what it even does xd)
• shaderapidx9.dll (Needs more testing but seems to work.)
• unicode.dll
• vvis_dll.dll (~40% faster than Gmod's version. Compile it in Release for the Performance benefit)
• vvis.exe
• vrad.exe
• vphysics.dll (Also, fixes ShouldCollide breaking the physics engine)
