GMod - What are you working on? August 2015 (#48)

[Kraken]

I'm still working on some stuff but I found that using [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG] [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Panel/InvalidateParent"]Panel:InvalidateParent[/URL] (with [B]true[/B] as arguement if you need to update immediately) updates the panel's bounds after using Dock on it.

Here what I mean:
[lua]
local panel = vgui.Create( "DPanel", MyFrame ) -- MyFrame is a 480x500 DFrame
panel:Dock( FILL )
print( panel:GetBounds() ) -- prints its original bounds: 0, 0, 64, 20
panel:InvalidateParent( true ) -- update now as we need its bounds on the same frame
print( panel:GetBounds() ) -- prints its correct bounds: 5, 29, 470, 466
[/lua]
I have updated [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG] [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Panel/Dock"]Panel:Dock[/URL] to include this note.

I suggest giving the dragged item the same size as the crafting slots. :)

Proof of concept for text truncation for custom rendering of DLabels. Doesn't support text wrapping.
I the text alignment portion is ugly and bloaty, but it gets the job done.

The main attraction lies in GLabel:UpdateTruncation, if anyone wants to take it and improve upon it, feel free to.

local GLabel = {}

local TOP_LEFT      = 7
local TOP_CENTER    = 8
local TOP_RIGHT     = 9
local CENTER_LEFT   = 4
local CENTER_CENTER = 5
local CENTER_RIGHT  = 6
local BOTTOM_LEFT   = 1
local BOTTOM_CENTER = 2
local BOTTOM_RIGHT  = 3

function GLabel:Init()
	self.TextData = {
		text = "",
		origtext = "",
		font = "DermaDefault",
		color = Color(240, 240, 240),
		pos = {0, 0},
		xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT,
		yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
	}

	self:SetContentAlignment(CENTER_LEFT)
end

function GLabel:SetText(str)
	self.TextData.origtext = str
	self:UpdateTruncation()
end

function GLabel:GetText(str)
	return self.TextData.text
end

function GLabel:SetTextColor(col)
	self.TextData.color = col
end

function GLabel:SetFont(font)
	self.TextData.font = font
	self:SetFontInternal(font)
	self:UpdateTruncation()
end

function GLabel:GetFont()
	return self.TextData.font
end

function GLabel:SizeToContents()
	surface.SetFont(self.TextData.font)
	self:SetSize(surface.GetTextSize(self.TextData.origtext))
end

function GLabel:Paint(w, h)

	DisableClipping(true)
	draw.Text(self.TextData)
	DisableClipping(false)

	return true
end

function GLabel:UpdateTruncation()
	local w = self:GetWide()

	local str = self.TextData.origtext

	surface.SetFont(self.TextData.font)
	local dw = surface.GetTextSize(".") * 3
	local tw = surface.GetTextSize(str)
	local wanted = w - dw

	local numchars = 0
	local cur = 0
	if tw > w then
		repeat
			numchars = numchars + 1
			tw = surface.GetTextSize(str:sub(1, numchars))
			if tw > wanted then
				break
			end
		until numchars == str:len()
		str = str:sub(1, numchars) .. "..."
	end

	self.TextData.text = str
end

function GLabel:SetContentAlignment(align)
	self.Alignment = align
	self:UpdateAlignment()
	self:UpdateTruncation()
	return true
end

function GLabel:UpdateAlignment()
	local w, h = self:GetSize()
	local a = self.Alignment

	local t = self.TextData

	if a == TOP_LEFT then
		t.pos = {0, 0}
		t.xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT
		t.yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_TOP
	elseif a == TOP_CENTER then
		t.pos = {w/2, 0}
		t.xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER
		t.yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_TOP
	elseif a == TOP_RIGHT then
		t.pos = {w, 0}
		t.xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT
		t.yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_TOP
	elseif a == CENTER_CENTER then
		t.pos = {w/2, h/2}
		t.xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER
		t.yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER
	elseif a == CENTER_RIGHT then
		t.pos = {w, h/2}

using rendertargets for the first time properly

only drawback is that i can't draw emojis and filters with it

I know it's your first gamemode, but may I ask why you use PrintMessage on every player? PrintMessage already prints to every player's screen, so the end result would be:

[lua]--If 10 players were on the server, and another one just joined

Examplenick has joined the server!
Examplenick has joined the server!
Examplenick has joined the server!

It doesn't do that though. Weird.

Been working on a Vehicle system lately. Wanted to show you some of the UI that's already done.

The vehicle system is something I'd like to call unique. There are preset locations that we provide around the map, which have a certain slot count for the garage, and the price.
Each location stores the player's garages, in which you can give friends access to, so you can share your cars.
The vehicles themselves are owned by the garage, and are local to the location the garage is owned by.
Each vehicle has colour customization and skin choosing. I also plan on adding bodygroup changing.

Garage:

Some suggestions would be great! :)

Edit: I just noticed there is inconsistency with style throughout the menus. I will work on that.

I'm super happy—
finally, after screwing with them for so long and absolutely destroying the rendering engine a few times, I figured out stencils.

I've always wanted to cut holes in the map, and now I can, yay.

[vid]http://puu.sh/jtEjc.webm[/vid]

most of you probably already know how to do this anyway but stencils were exceptionally difficult for me, so I'm happy. I got fog to hide how deep the objects go, too.
Next I'll need to combine it with RenderScene or something and make it render world geometry behind it, too, or something to that effect.

I still find stencils extremely confusing, I've pretty much only been able to make anything with them by checking the wiki every two seconds and fiddling with different ENUMs

Don't think of stencils as some magical drawing thing.
Think of them as an image mask.

The pixels you draw with stencils can have a "stencil value" of 0-255 (think of it like a greyscale image).
You draw whatever with a pixel value to tell the engine which pixels on screen have whatever value.
Then, you set the stencil reference value so you can draw a new thing into those stencil values. Whatever comparison function you use determines which pixels keep the new drawn thing and what doesn't (STENCIL_EQUAL makes only exact pixel values be drawn over, etc).

Simple concept, but you can do some crazy stuff if you mix this and other things (like a hole right through a wall).

Every time I think I finally get the concept of stencils down, something new always pops its head up. Such as the last time I did anything with them, shooting the entity they were being used on would cause the stencil to completely bug out.

[Pugsworth]

[QUOTE=jaooe;48407695]And I thought I found stencils confusing BEFORE this post :nope:[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I tried to find a simple way to explain the basic use of them. :v:

[B]Edit:[/B]
You inspired me to create an illustration to visually demonstrate what I said.

Comments on the same line explain what the line is/does
Comments below the line further explain or give details.
[lua]
render.ClearStencil();
render.SetStencilEnable(true);
render.SetStencilTestMask(1); -- These have to do with bitwise masking, not image masking
render.SetStencilWriteMask(1); -- they do bitwise masking on the reference values, best to leave them at 1 unless you know what you're doing
render.SetStencilReferenceValue(1); -- set the reference value to '1'
-- all current pixels (before drawing anything using stencils) is 0
render.SetStencilCompareFunction(STENCIL_ALWAYS); -- all drawn pixels are written regardless (to draw the entire mask)
-- this is needed as newly drawn pixels have the reference value while other pixels are 0
render.SetStencilPassOperation(STENCIL_REPLACE); -- the operation when the Compare Function passes, replace all drawn pixel values to current reference value (1)
-- replace any drawn pixels with the reference value
render.SetStencilFailOperation(STENCIL_KEEP);
render.SetStencilZFailOperation(STENCIL_KEEP);
-- if the comparison function fails, or the drawn pixels fail the Z-Buffer test (the object drawn is behind something, so the pixels are unseen), keep the pixel value to the value they are current at (ignores reference value)

drawMask(); -- Draw something to act as a mask
-- can be physical object (prop/3D2D/etc), or 2D elements

render.SetStencilCompareFunction(STENCIL_EQUAL); -- now set the comparison function to equal
-- we now compare all pixel values against the reference (currently set to 1 from above)

render.ClearBuffersObeyStencil(0, 0, 0, 0, true);
-- clear the inside of our mask so we have a clean slate to draw in.

drawObject(); -- draw new objects to be masked by the previous drawn mask
-- if any of the pixels of this drawn object are within pixels from the mask pixels that match the reference value (1 = 1), then draw these pixels to the screen

render.SetStencilEnable(false);
[/lua]

Grey = world/pre stencil drawings
Red = mask object
Blue = drawn object

This is the start, before any stencil operations or drawings have taken place.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/1BlMS6y.png[/t]

This is the mask drawn behind some geometry, so parts of it are hidden (Failed Z-Buffer test)
[t]http://i.imgur.com/YJfZiq0.png[/t]

This is the drawn object
[t]http://i.imgur.com/858zLZz.png[/t]

This is the pixel values of the mask before stencils have done their job
Green = 1 (or any number 0-255 really, but 1 for the example)
Black = 0
[t]http://i.imgur.com/PvwmcTn.png[/t]

Here is what it would look like if you drew the objects without stencils. You can see the drawn object overlaps the mask object.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/tR49EHD.png[/t]

And the final result of all the stencil operations
[t]http://i.imgur.com/AMdPKZH.png[/t]

This is only the very basic that can be done with stencils.
There are lots of crazy stuff you can do with the stencils that involve stuff like multiple pixel values and the Z Buffer.

Finally got around to adding Luadev support to Atom.

I still need to work on thing such as sending to specific clients, bulk sending multiple files, etc.

You could always display a monitor of every player in the server on the admins screen then record it so if you ever get reports of admin abuse/ban appeals you could ask for the date/time and you can check the bot system

but this wouldn't cause framerate drops for clients, or increase web-server latency?

I could envision (albeit laggy as fuck, but i'd only need 1-2 fps) rendering the views on my bot's screen and just record all of them to files

My local server has a 4tb HDD in it so i'm all for big brother level recording.
