Scoreboard Lua Errors

[The Davinator]

Hello. I have been recently been looking to use a or modify the original scoreboard to use ULX ranks and colors of my choice, EG adding a new section called "Ranks" showing "Moderator", "Regular", etc, etc. Having searched through Facepunch I found a link to a fully finished scoreboard including ranks for sb_main and sb_row. Both are lua, and look like this.

sb_main.lua

Bump?

[Rubat]

Post the error or no help.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Also, put sv_kickerrornum 0 in your server.cfg to prevent kicking via lua errors.

[QUOTE=code_gs;43125282]Also, put sv_kickerrornum 0 in your server.cfg to prevent kicking via lua errors.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I will try this when possible.

Okay, doing what was suggested here was the error I got when using those two lua files for the scoreboard.

[lua]

Also, I could not open the scoreboard as you probably already know.

Can you post your code?

[The Davinator]

[QUOTE=code_gs;43126709]Can you post your code?[/QUOTE]

My code...? As in the original lua sb_row and sb_main files? I posted them at the top of the post (original post).

Hey;

I think I know what you're trying to do. You should get Sui Scoreboard V2 for gmod 13:
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=105273424[/url]

You've already got ULX set up and everything.

Basically once you've installed this, you need to go into !menu and Groups tab, then use the team manager to create unique teams for each one of your ranks. Then, you select the group you want to have that team and set that as the group's team.

Hey. Thank you very much for the offer however I would like to keep the default TTT scoreboard for the time being. I know there is a method to setting up ranks on the default one I'm just unsure of what I'm doing wrong. I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks nonetheless!

Don't worry, fixed it. Simple error in sb_row. Thanks for all the help anyway.
