Is there a fix for this Ironsights Designer tool?

[Spades_Neil]

[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29787[/url]

Either I'm a complete n00b in Gmod 13 and does not know how to addons, or this doesn't work anymore. If there's no fix, can someone make one? I'd do it myself if I had the faintest idea what I'm doing. Currently I just can't get it to show up under the Weapons menu.

A potentially idiotic question: How can I get this working again? Or are there any alternatives to it that aren't crap? Yes I've tried [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109724869[/url] and it's crap. I can't fine-tune the adjustments of the iron sights like I do with this older tool.

Someone put this on the comments

"I take that back. The Z coordinate does not work.. Add ~2 to it, and it seems ok..."

So if you play around with the Z coordinate it might fix it

No, it just doesn't show up in-game. I already saw this. It does not appear in Gmod 13's weapons, tools, entities, anywhere--so either I cannot addonz or it doesn't work.

Did it work for you?

[MIKEYMASTALSKi]

Did you change the info.txt?

Rename info.txt to addon.txt and that should fix your problem. Unless the swep its-self is broken.

Well at least it's being detected now, but it's not showing up still.

Giving us the peice of code might help a bit

Well, I did. It's in my first post. Seems more effective just giving you the addon than one line of code that may or may not solve all my problems.

Plus it's been so long since I've screwed with any script that I'm not even sure where the error is pointing me. Line 203 perhaps?

Here's 200 to 214

local org = {"x","y","z"}

for k,line in pairs(lines) do
local numStr = string.gsub (string.sub (line, string.find (line, "\(", 1, true)+1, string.find (line, "\)", 1, true)-1), " ", "")
local tbl = string.Explode (",", numStr)
if not #tbl == 3 then return end
for k,v in pairs (tbl) do
targetTbl[org[k]] = tonumber(v)
end
if targetTbl == self.IronsPos then
targetTbl = self.IronsAng
else
success = true
end
end

I tried damn it. :S

put the code in [lua][/lua] and space it out like it is in the code....

Its talking about the back slashes used in the code, see
[Lua]
string.find (line, "\(", 1, true)+1
[/lua]
AND
[Lua]
string.find (line, "\)", 1, true)-1)
[/Lua]

The question know is how to fix it

Get off your high horse, I only replied to someone. And in your logic of rating people dump for continuing an 'already revived' thread, would you not agree that in replying yourself is hypocritical?
