There's a few things I feel I'll need to explain here, so I'll get it out of the way now.
The SWEP prediction errors. This fixes bugs where in a multiplayer game your gun would appear to fire multiple rounds. This was a pretty big problem. Lua codes should be aware that the clientside version of the SWEP think functions (including PrimaryFire, Reload etc) may get called more than once. So any logic you do here that you only want to run once should be encased in a "if
IsFirstTimePredicted()".
Lua Coders can no longer create Render Targets in game. The problem is that in the Source engine when a RT is created it unloads all the textures and loads them again. This was leading to incredibly long loadtimes, and was unacceptable. You can still create RT's, but they have to be created when the game starts. Check out "garrysmod/settings/render_targets/".
