✔️ Patch
Fixed an error that could occur after disabling the addon from the menu, rebooting the server, then re-enabling the addon without restarting again.

✔️ Lua Error fix
[norda_npcspawn_framework] /sv_norda_npcspawn2.lua:158: attempt to index field 'npct' (a nil value)

🧱 Improved
Added automatic restoration of door and lock states after map cleanup operations.
Integrated the PostCleanupMap hook to reliably detect when cleanup is complete.

✔️ Patch
Fixed an issue where doors were restored after cleanup without their lock system logic, causing desynchronized or unsecured states.
Added deferred reinitialization to ensure lock mechanics are reapplied once cleanup has fully completed.

✔️ Lua Error fix
[norda_lock_and_key_system] sv_norda_keys_system.lua:406: attempt to concatenate a nil value

✔️ Patch
Updated version label displayed in the interface

💡 This change prevents confusion when users expect the displayed version to match the current script version.

🧱 Improved
- Changed default behavior of key storage
- Keys are now stored in the keyring SWEP by default (cfg.store_key_in_inventory=0)
- Added clarification in documentation regarding inventory compatibility

💡 Note:
Servers using an external inventory system must manually set: cfg.store_key_in_inventory=1

✔️ Patch
Automatically inserts the owner's id64 into the database during the add-on's initial installation. The script owner no longer needs to enter a server command to add themselves to the database.

🚀 Add
Added the Player:SwitchView() meta-function: Allows scripts to switch the camera perspective programmatically. This API was added to facilitate integration with external systems and third-party add-ons that require control over the player's view.

Player:SwitchView() added to the global script API list: API Docs

✔️ Patch
Fixed an issue affecting bullet hit detection on NPCs and NextBots that appeared after recent Garry's Mod updates. In some cases, bullet trails could collide incorrectly with shell ejection effects, preventing entities from being detected correctly after the first shot.

You don't have to update everything. Here are the files I edited:
- shared.lua
- vtm/wps_cl.lua

⚡ Optimization
Refactoring of the synchronization system when players connect.

The amount of data transmitted during join has been reduced by approximately 75%, dividing the initial bandwidth usage by 4.
Optimization of data format and reduction of payloads sent to the client.

Result:
- Faster synchronization time
- Less network load during join
- Reduced impact on servers

🚀 Add
- It is possible to convert props placed on the map with the new mod added to the tool: Props To Ghost. The props must have a model present in the library.

- The SWEP GhostEntity now includes a switch button that allows you to change tools instantly.
This makes it easier to transition between visual decoration and other advanced map building systems
