little bit harsh but still very nice! got serious look on it.

[TrickstarOG]

what you mean little bit harsh but thank you, it is officially my second project i have ever made!

[LittleBigBug]

It just looks a bit messy, I guess. But yeah nice job regardless (:
I think the model panels are a bit too big and distorted.
On tabs that aren't selected the text seems a bit too dark, (as well as some of the action buttons) and the home tab has too much unused space, and the buttons seem a bit lackluster and bland, I guess. Maybe a font or some nice colours could make it better.

Otherwise, I see you are using a config so you could try to incorporate the buttons that open the webpages into the config as well.
And also, the buttons on that page are hard-coded, maybe it would be better if you just looped through a table in the config and make the buttons that way. It would allow for easily adding and removing buttons (:

I'll write you an example, but the code snippets on facepunch are a bit janky, at least for me:
hastebin

Otherwise maybe you could play with the design a bit and try to make it more "Modern"

But anyway, for only your second project it's pretty impressive because F4 Menus are kind of a pain to deal with sometimes haha.
Also maybe look into pushing to github with your project. It will help with updates and other people can suggest edits and stuff to improve it, or submit bug reports, etc.

thank you but yeah it is my sewcond project and i shouldnt have done a f4 menu for my second project any project suggestions for beginners?

[LittleBigBug]

No, I think it was a good challenge. It was really good. I'd say keep working on this until it's just as you'd like it.
Anything that interests you the most you should just go towards. Start with a "Simpler" edition and keep improving on it until you get it. (:

[TrickstarOG]

yeah i dont know how to add materials backrounds like people do

[LittleBigBug]

Google is your best friend. Use it.

I'll start you off though

Put your jpg or png or whatever into your addons materials/ folder and use resource.AddFile to have users download it (on serverside)
Then use Material to get the material object with the image path, and use surface.SetMaterial and surface.DrawTexturedRect to draw it inside of a Paint hook. (PANEL/Paint)

Good luck, you can do it

[TrickstarOG]

thanks can u help me with something? so im making an enitity rn and i want to make it where when you hit e it pops up a menu,

so i put this inside init.lua

self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)

then went to cl_init.lua

and put

function weaponpanelframe()
local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" );
frame.w, frame.h = ScrW() / 1.25, 800;
frame:SetSize( frame.w, frame.h );
frame:Center();
frame:MakePopup();
frame:SetTitle( "" );
frame:SetPaintShadow( true );
end

Do not understand what i did wrong lmfao

i have more then that but you know what i mean
