Gmod Locker - Garry's Mod - Facepunch Forum

Sick and tired of your siblings trying to interfere with your game while you go AFK? Ever needed that little bit more privacy or a way to password protect your game session without logging off? [B]Introducing Gmod Locker![/B] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Tn3iq6b.png[/img] [QUOTE] This simple addon will let you instantly lock your game session after you set a password. It also comes with multiplayer support so other players can see when you are locked via a small icon above your head.

Wow, I've never had that issue before but that's a great idea! What happens if you forget your password?

[QUOTE=DaleAGaming;52336433]Wow, I've never had that issue before but that's a great idea! What happens if you forget your password?[/QUOTE] I believe you'd just have to reconnect to the server, I think passwords are per connection.

[QUOTE=Justtr;52336585]What if the siblings finds out that they can use retry to take care of the password?[/QUOTE] Nothing to really be done about that. Unless this does in fact save over per connection

What would make this better is if you made it an extension to the gmod menu, blocking people doing anything at all while you were away and not needing servers to install it.

[QUOTE=CelaeonSan;52336554]I believe you'd just have to reconnect to the server, I think passwords are per connection.[/QUOTE] It is actually per server. If you disconnect while locked, when you rejoin it will still be locked. To reset a password the server will need to be reset. In single-player it is per session, so you can disconnect and start a new game. I could make it even more permanent via files in /data/ but i think too many people would forget their password... :P

I don't see any rationale for this add-on over using Win+L

[QUOTE=colincooke;52338694]I don't see any rationale for this add-on over using Win+L[/QUOTE] You must be a highly intelligent unbiased rationally thinking individual then. What if someone only has access to a family computer which imposes a no personal accounts/passwords rule? I know many families who have done this in the past. And if you were somehow blissfully unaware, most Gmod players are children/teenagers so this is a likely scenario.
