I have a config file that is supposed to save in "garrysmod/data/mas_data", but it never ends up in the "mas_data" or "data" folders. I have no clue where my addon is storing the config. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Below is everything that deals with the config file:
[CODE]
-- If DATA directory doesn't exist, make it --
if !file.Exists( "mas_data", "DATA" ) then
file.CreateDir( "mas_data", "DATA" )
end
-- Protection Variables --
AntiSpam = {}
AntiSpam.Chat = {}
AntiSpam.Prop = {}
AntiSpam.Sent = {}
AntiSpam.Effect = {}
AntiSpam.Ragdoll = {}
AntiSpam.Vehicle = {}
AntiSpam.Npc = {}
-- Includes --
include("von.lua")
-- Config File Defaults --
//These will be the default values when changed in the file.
AntiSpam.AntiSpamming = true
AntiSpam.Chat.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Prop.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Sent.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Effect.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Ragdoll.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Vehicle.Enabled = false
AntiSpam.Npc.Enabled = true
AntiSpam.Chat.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Prop.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Sent.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Effect.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Ragdoll.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Vehicle.Delay = 1
AntiSpam.Npc.Delay = 1
-- Serialization & De-Serialization of the config file --
function SettingsSave() //This method takes the table and converts it into a string before saving it to a file. This needs to be ran every time you change a value in SETTINGS.
local SettingString = von.serialize(AntiSpam)
file.Write("mas_data/antispam.txt", SettingString) //The file will be in the data/ folder. Use lower case filenames!
print("ANTI-SPAM SETTINGS HAVE BEEN SAVED!")
end
function SettingsLoad() //This method opens the file if it exists and converts the string stored into a table. This needs running when the addon initialises.
if file.Exists("mas_data/antispam.txt", "DATA") then //Im hoping this bit is self explanatory. DATA means the data folder.
local ReadFile = file.Read("mas_data/antispam.txt", "DATA") //Read file from DATA folder. Returns a string.
AntiSpam = von.deserialize(ReadFile) //Overwrite the settings table with values from file.
Msg("AntiSpam SETTINGS LOADED")
end
end
function CheckBooleanFunc( input )
if(input == "on") then // so if the command is !antispam chat on
return true
elseif(input == "off") then
return false
end
end
function CheckNumberFunc( input )
if ( type(tonumber(input)) == "number" ) then
if ( tonumber(input) >= 0 ) then
return input
elseif ( tonumber(input) < 0 ) then
return '1'
end
end
end
-- Enable-Disable Features & Delays --
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "ChangeAction", function( ply, text, public ) //An example of a chat command changing a setting.
text = string.lower( text )
text = string.Explode( " ", text )
if ply:IsUserGroup( "superadmin", "owner" ) then //Add groups who you want to access the script here(Currently on supports ULX)
if ( text[1] == "!antispam" ) then
if ( text[2] == "on" ) then
AntiSpam.AntiSpamming = true //Change das value.
elseif ( text[2] == "off" ) then
AntiSpam.AntiSpamming = false //Change das value
elseif ( text[2] == "chat" ) then
AntiSpam.Chat.Enabled.CheckBooleanFunc( text[3] )
ply:ChatPrint( "Chat spam protection has been set to "..text[3] )
elseif ( text[2] == "props" ) then
AntiSpam.Prop.Enabled.CheckBooleanFunc( text[3] )
elseif ( text[2] == "sents" ) then
AntiSpam.Sent.Enabled.CheckBooleanFunc( text[3] )
elseif ( text[2] == "effects" ) then
AntiSpam.Effect.Enabled.CheckBooleanFunc( text[3] )

end

return ''
end
end)

Maybe because the chat commands hook does not let the player talk unless the player is on the superadmin or owner group?

Wait, nvm, its not that, let me see if I can find what it is...

Is it the timers for the actual function controlling whether the player can chat?
Yeah, read this: [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/timer/Simple]timer.Simple[/url]
It only accepts 2 arguments, the rest of the arguments passed are discarded, so you'll have to find another way to make the timers work.
A way you could use is function currying (bind a function to a list of arguments) like FPtje does on DarkRP
[editline]30th December 2015[/editline]
But the chat command hook is a real issue, the player will not be able to talk unless he is on the "superadmin" or "owner" group, I suggest making the check for the "!antispam" before and ignore if it was not an "!antispam" command.

Great, I have no clue what to do now. Back to the drawing board. :suicide:

You could instead of passing AntiSpam.<antispam controller>.ResetTimer as an argument do this on all of the timers:
[lua]
timer.Simple(AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Delay, function()
AntiSpam.Chat.ResetTimer (ply)
end)
[/lua]

It still does the same thing, I have no clue why though?
The blocking never did work, now that I realized, the function you're using "table.ValueToKey" doesn't exists.
[editline]30th December 2015[/editline]
Maybe the function you were looking for is [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/table/KeyFromValue]table.KeyFromValue[/url]?

I forgot to include my table.lua file. ValueToKey is part of a custom library I made. I listed the table.lua file just in case you wanted to see it.
[CODE]
// globals
local table = table
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This checks if a table exists or not
// Input: table
// Returns: boolean
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.Exists(_table)
if type(_table) == "table" then
return true
end
return false
end
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This gets the number of keys in a table
// Input: table
// Returns: number
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.GetNumKeys(_table)
local NumKeys = 0
for k,v in pairs(_table) do
NumKeys = NumKeys + 1
end
return tonumber(NumKeys)
end
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This deletes a table
// Input: table
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.Delete(_table)
_table = nil
end
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This clears all values and keys in a table
// Input: table
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.Clear(_table)
for k,v in pairs(_table) do
table.remove(_table,tonumber(k))
end
end
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This gets the position (key) of the value
// Input: table,value
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.ValueToKey(_table,value)
for k,v in pairs(_table) do
if v == value then
return k
end
end
end
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description: This returns the value of the position (key)
// Input: table,key
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function table.KeyToValue(_table,key)
for k,v in pairs(_table) do
if k == key then
return v
end
end
end
[/CODE]
The setting you changed wasn't disabling the chat antispam?
because on that hook, if the chat antispam is disabled, it disables the chat entirely by returning an empty string.

I see that now, the thing that confuses me is that I had it working properly last night.

This should solve the problem
[CODE]
function meta:CanChat()
if AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Enabled == true then
return true
elseif table.HasValue(AntiSpam.Chat.Players, self:SteamID()) then
return false
else
return true
end
end
[/CODE]
no, that still won't solve the problem. The problem is here:
[lua]
function AntiSpam.Chat.Chatting( ply, text )
if AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Enabled then
if AntiSpam.Settings.AntiSpamming then
if !ply:CanChat() then
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Message \""..text.."\" was not sent.\n")
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "STOP SPAMMING THE SERVER!")
return ""
end
ply:EnableChatting(false)
timer.Simple(AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Delay, AntiSpam.Chat.ResetTimer, ply)
end
else
return '' -- <- You return '' when the antispam is disabled, thus disabling the chat
end
end
[/lua]
try just removing that else and see if it works.

I'm going to try the following: [CODE]if AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Enabled //Remove[/CODE] Then I changed was the function that handles whether or not the player can chat which is [CODE]function CanChat()[/CODE] The code below is how you stop the AntiSpam Script from muting the player when the chat portion is disabled
[CODE]
function meta:CanChat()
if AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Enabled == true then //Checks if AntiSpan.Chat is enabled
return true //If it is not then let the player chat
elseif table.HasValue(AntiSpam.Chat.Players, self:SteamID()) then
//^Otherwise check the table for the ply's steamid
return false //Stops the player from chatting if steamid is found
else
return true //Otherwise let the player chat
end
end
[/CODE]
UPDATE:
I ended up having to use both of our solutions your's to see the chat when it was disabled & mine to disable the spam protection without disabling the ability to chat.

Change

[/lua]
to
[lua]
if not AntiSpam.Settings.Chat.Enabled then //Checks if AntiSpan.Chat is enabled

[QUOTE=GGG KILLER;49417366]Change

to

Thanks, I fixed that.
