WHAT is CLOUDSCRIPT - Garry's Mod

I started making a picture to explain what clouds script is, but then I realised it doesn't make sense. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3590255/Bits/cloudscript.png[/img] I was thinking of doing something like google does, to help people understand what it is and how to use it. Anyone got any ideas?

Just tell 'em it does all of the work for you. Should be easy enough. You could also make a video of every click you perform to download something, and then a picture of just 1 click in-game. Alternatively, buy Google and let them make it for you.

[QUOTE=Hufterkruk;24664741] Alternatively, buy Google and let them make it for you.[/QUOTE] Yeah it should only cost a few trillion

[QUOTE=RoFLWaFFLEZZ;24664758]Yeah it should only cost a few trillion[/QUOTE] That's why you need to haggle.

A video would be dumb. You should move the cloud over to the left a bit and add a picture of a computer on the right, fill the cloud with a few cloudscript icons to represent the content, have a few icons on the computer on the right and some icons flying from the cloudscript to the computer. Gets across the message that you're getting it all from the cloud instead of the messy way shown in "the old way"

I think a video could actually work rather nicely, as long as it's played the first time you launch the game or something. (But of course not one as simple as I described it) Perhaps some in-game popups with "Did you know you can now download add-ons and have them installed automatically from within the game?" could also work.

I would say just move the cloud over, have an arrow from the cloud to a screenshot of a contraption spawned from the cloud

This is getting so awesome in a short time, but now the one question: Will there be Multiplayer support?

This one above me is awesome. I think that an Apple-style flash video (I mean truly simple) would be great.

i knew it wouldn't be long before stinkyjoe came along, love it

I think the best way to describe it is "An app store within gmod" but I like stinkyjoe's.

I think stinkyjoe's one is awesome. It's simple and doesn't require too much thinking to understand.

Stinkyjoe should be hired as Facepunch's lead artist.

I updated StinkyJoe's. [IMG_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/fz86e0.png[/IMG_thumb] It's true!

I should make a sketch at school and scan it when I get home. Honestly, I draw better on paper.

So pretty much you just click on what mod you want and it installs for you?

So, not meaning to be a pleb, but I've never heard of cloudscript before. So, Basically... things you click on are downloaded to your addons folder and you are then able to use it when ever you like, online or offline blah blah Or can you just use anything from the 'cloud' (as if it was one huge shared addons folder with spawnable stuff)?

[QUOTE=winsanity;24682611]Have you not tried toybox yet?[/QUOTE] I saw something a week or two about it but no I haven't actually used it yet

Click on what you want and it downloads everything for you and gives you the weapon.

It's garrysmod.org inside garrysmod. Except you don't need to exit GMod to download addons.

It's more like a online Adv dupe page.

A very awesome one

Why not make a quick video showing the differences between the two and then putting it in the neglected "tutorials" section of the main menu?
