Nutscript GUI Help

[FanAnomaly]

Hello everyone,
So i'm trying to make a Gamemode using nutscript, But the GUI of the F1 Menu and the Tab Menu is just ugly.
I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the GUI Using Dermaframe, Or just editing the main file to reshape the menu itself.
Thanks!

[lua]PANEL:Paint()[/lua]or[lua]PANEL.Paint = function()end[/lua]I would recommend PANEL:Paint(), but create your own predefined panel using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/derma/DefineControl]derma.DefineControl[/url]You're welcome :P

PANEL:Paint()
[/lua]

or

[lua]
PANEL.Paint = function()
end
[/lua]

You're welcome :P

You forgot to add 'self' as an argument in the second method.

PANEL.Paint = function(self)
end

You don't need to call self. It just shortens code...

Example:

[lua]
boob = vgui.Create("DPanel")
boob:SetSize(250,250)
boob:Center()
boob.Paint = function()
draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,boob:GetWide(),boob:GetTall(),Color(50,120,255))
end
[/lua]

[lua]
boob = vgui.Create("DPanel")
boob:SetSize(250,250)
boob:Center()
boob.Paint = function(self,w,h)
draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,w,h,Color(50,120,255))
end
[/lua]

Those two bits of code do the exact same thing. It's just the amount of characters it uses that differ. boob:GetWide() = w, and boob:GetTall() = h. Same exact thing. Please don't correct if you don't know the true answer.

To add to this, it's probably better if he doesn't call self so he can learn all of the Panel functions and vars. GetWide and GetTall are necessary for a lot of things with panels and it's best that he learns the code rather than just being fed short cuts.

I meant if you use the second method you need to define 'self' yourself in the function arguments.

I didn't like the nutscript scoreboard either so I made my own. Here's how it looks

I do like the F1 menu though. If you want to remove the existing one you'd have to edit nutscript's core files which is highly unreccomended.

You don't pay attention... I said you [U][B]DO NOT[/B][/U] have to call "self" on the second function, it simply shortens code.
