• How to change look/skin of the "Console", "Options"..?
    34 replies, posted
I am wondering how to change skin for menu dialogs such as "Console", "Options" (...) in Garry's Mod? I know it is possible to do this in TF2 and CSS.. So, I have searched for "mainmenu.res" and "mainmenuoverride.res" files in entire (base) GarrysMod folder, found no matches. I have then searched inside GarrysMod/garrysmod/garrysmod_dir.vpk file, again no matches. But, then I have looked into "materials" folder of that vpk file, and there is a subfolder called "console" which tells me that's the right thing to edit or perhaps I am wrong?
It's the same way as any other Source Engine game.
[QUOTE=Robotboy655;48848885]It's the same way as any other Source Engine game.[/QUOTE] True. It turned out I was looking for a wrong file. It is actually "SourceScheme.res", located in GarrysMod\garrysmod\resource folder.

Should be changed imo it's the only thing that hasnt changed yet in gmod probably
[QUOTE=Knoxed;48860530]Should be changed imo it's the only thing that hasnt changed yet in gmod probably[/QUOTE] It was changed already
It is pretty easy. I think I will do a small designer app :cool: That will make it easier and also quicker to make skins..

I need one information from somebody more experienced. What's the name of [URL="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1v8w5Tpp"]this format[/URL]? I just know, it is not BSON, CSON, JSON nor INI.

[QUOTE=whitestar;48864771]looks like the default keyvalue text which gmod uses.[/QUOTE] Steam, and other Source engine games uses this too.. In "Steam/config" folder they have extension "VDF".. Now, I have found this: [URL]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Notepad%2B%2B_VDF_languages[/URL]
[QUOTE=OmegaExtern;48864788]Steam, and other Source engine games uses this too.. In "Steam/config" folder they have extension "VDF"..[/QUOTE] gmod uses the same keyvalues as any other source game, so... looks like keyvalues, as I said.
[QUOTE=whitestar;48864797]gmod uses the same keyvalues as any other source game, so... looks like keyvalues, as I said.[/QUOTE] Well, there are several "Key-Value pair" languages from Valve. The thing is, I need a parser (serializer and deserializer) for "Generic VDF" language as that's what SourceScheme.res uses :worried: I can write my own, but I really wouldn't like to "reinvent the wheel" if somebody has made public one already..

Otherwise, read it and weep: [url]https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/blob/master/mp/src/tier1/KeyValues.cpp[/url]. Easy way to use tier1 properly if you are using premake5 is to include [url]https://github.com/glua/SourceSDK[/url] in your project and use include() [url=https://github.com/glua/gm_console/blob/master/premake5.lua#L22]link so[/url]. Ask nicely and somebody would probably just chuck some bindings for this in to a module.

[QUOTE=Pink3vil;48866191]Nice very nice ! Escuse me just one question ? ScrollBar.Wide 15 What is it ?[/QUOTE] the width of the scrollbar in the console, probably.

[QUOTE=geferon;48866213]Is there only the console with low alpha?[/QUOTE] As you see there is! ^-^
[QUOTE=geferon;48866213]Is there only the console with low alpha?[/QUOTE] Console is full alpha, but alpha goes down when it's not being focused.
[QUOTE=Netheous;48866545]Console is full alpha, but alpha goes down when it's not being focused.[/QUOTE] Thank PS : Why block me ?
[QUOTE=Netheous;48866545]Console is full alpha, but alpha goes down when it's not being focused.[/QUOTE] So it is only invisible when you havent got it "selected" (as the lastly used panel, or the panel in the top)?
[QUOTE=geferon;48866613]So it is only invisible when you havent got it "selected" (as the lastly used panel, or the panel in the top)?[/QUOTE] focused = selected, so yeah.
[QUOTE=NotSoSuper;48868082]He blocks a lot of people.[/QUOTE] Nope. I only block frenchies that don't take 'no' as an answer.
