Modifying TTT

[BoowmanTech]

I know lot's of them already saw a post like this.
I read all the post which were about TTT hud's maybe I will fix my problem but nothing.
Everytime I change anything in the cl_hud.lua my console is spammed.
[LUA]
[ERROR] gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:193: attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value)
1. SpecHUDPaint - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:193
2. unknown - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:326
[/LUA]
I know is a common error but I still don't know how to fix it.

Might be worth learning some Lua. That or post the code.

[BoowmanTech]

Well how I said it's a very common problem when trying to make a TTT hud and I thought somebody already has the answer.
This is the function and the error it's between draw.RoundedBox and local text
[LUA]
local function SpecHUDPaint(client)
local L = GetLang() -- for fast direct table lookups

-- Draw round state
local x = margin
local height = 32
local width = 250
local round_y = ScrH() - height - margin

-- move up a little on low resolutions to allow space for spectator hints
if ScrW() < 1000 then round_y = round_y - 15 end

local time_x = x + 170
local time_y = round_y + 4

draw.RoundedBox(8, x, round_y, width, height, bg_colors.background_main)
draw.RoundedBox(8, x, round_y, time_x - x, height, bg_colors.noround)

local text = L[ roundstate_string[GAMEMODE.round_state] ]
ShadowedText(text, "TraitorState", x + margin, round_y, COLOR_WHITE)

-- Draw round/prep/post time remaining
local text = util.SimpleTime(math.max(0, GetGlobalFloat("ttt_round_end", 0) - CurTime()), "%02i:%02i")
ShadowedText(text, "TimeLeft", time_x + margin, time_y, COLOR_WHITE)

local tgt = client:GetObserverTarget()
if IsValid(tgt) and tgt:IsPlayer() then
ShadowedText(tgt:Nick(), "TimeLeft", ScrW() / 2, margin, COLOR_WHITE, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)

elseif IsValid(tgt) and tgt:GetNWEntity("spec_owner", nil) == client then
PunchPaint(client)
else
ShadowedText(interp(L.spec_help, key_params), "TabLarge", ScrW() / 2, margin, COLOR_WHITE, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end
end
[/LUA]

Battery is gonna die no time to help sorry.

It's to do with L. ;-) good luck.

Boowman, please, I hope you are not making something like you put up on garrysmod.org.
From my point of view, your HUDs are like Poker sites: abundant, and look extremely similar.

And assuming that you have that already, I can only guess you are not calling it from a suitable environment.

Well don't worry I won't upload it on gmod.org and I know my HUD's are pretty much similar because I have no imagination.

Imagination is key. ;) ~ I have the exact code layout as you on your TTT HUD, but my HUD is in the InfoPaint function, try doing that.

I tried but I get the same error. And it has problems with SpecHUDPaint and I didn't even touch that function.

[reevezy67]

Post the whole file?

[isnipeu]

iirc TTT doesn't support auto refresh and will get errors like that if you change the gamemode files.
Try doing your changes and then restarting the map.

Research before you make a thread because the same exact question was asked about 1 week ago and I answered it here.

I already read the post I tried that but It didn't work. If it would work I wouldn't do another thread.

Where are you putting this?

I fixed the problem. Don't need to post here anymore.

ok

what was the error?

[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]

Because I making my own hud, and I was getting the same error

Well to be honest I didn't fixed the error by editing something. Someone suggested me to install SRCDS and try to run the TTT game mode like that and it worked.
