Is there any reason why the following snippet renders a black square?
[lua]
lua_run_cl hook.Add("HUDPaint","Test",function()surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255)surface.SetMaterial(Material("models/humans/female/group01/citizen_sheet"))surface.DrawTexturedRect(0,0,1024,1024)end)
[/lua]

[b]Uncollapsed:[/b]
[lua]
local mat = Material("models/humans/female/group01/citizen_sheet");
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "Test", function()
surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255);
surface.SetMaterial(mat);
surface.DrawTexturedRect(0,0,1024,1024);
end);
[/lua]

I tried it with player_sheet as well and its the same result.

[Rubat]

Rendering model shaders not on model will cause this. ( Basically )

[G4MB!T]

Is there any way to fix it? I'm trying to add badges the the citizen sheet for customization things.

[Rubat]

You can find a workaround in DImage/DImageButton's source code, which basically involves creating a new material on the fly with proper shader and using that instead.

[G4MB!T]

Yep just tried Material(path, "unlitgeneric") and that and it works. However, I'm creating another material with a shader of "VertexlitGeneric" using a rendertarget as the basetexture, and I cant use that material in render.MaterialOverrideByIndex (PrePlayerDraw hook), the player just turns white.

[editline]31st March 2015[/editline]

I can confirm that the rendertarget is what it should be, just the material is being annoying.

You don't need a system like this anyway. The current map is automatically added to the workshop download list *if* the map is gotten from a workshop file.

[Batzz]

Yeah but I want it to download that specific map rather than all of them so its just faster, or does it just download that specific map anyway

[Lixquid]

[QUOTE=Batzz;47431313]Yeah but I want it to download that specific map rather than all of them so its just faster, or does it just download that specific map anyway[/QUOTE]

It'll automatically only download the map you're on [i]if[/i] the map you're on is from a workshop addon.

[G4MB!T]

He means, if the server downloaded the map from the workshop and the server is currently on that map, the client will download it.

[Batzz]

[QUOTE=Lixquid;47431339]It'll automatically only download the map you're on [i]if[/i] the map you're on is from a workshop addon.[/QUOTE]

Wait sorry im confused, if I use resource.AddWorkshop() with all the maps i have (which are all off of the workshop) it will make the user download it from the workshop? Because my friend cant join my server due to the size of the map ( I want to avoid changing net_maxfilesize due to bandwidth )

Sorry lol , but anyaways like I said my friend couldnt join the server even though it is off of a workshop collection.

Short Version: Don't use resource.AddWorkshop on any map files.

The client will automatically download any workshop map file the server's using. (And only the map the server's on right now)

[G4MB!T]

I'm not sure if subscribing to a collection of maps is the same as subscribing to the map itself, you will have to ask someone else about that. I was just trying to clarify what Lixquid said about it.

Hi,

I would like to use the [URL="http://www.thecodingbeast.com/products"]Conding Beast's MOTD[/URL] as a help menu for a darkrp server.
Is it possible to open it when the players press the F4 key?

Maybe this could help you:

-- Player Spawn
local function OpenMotdOnJoin( ply )

	if OpenOnJoin == true then

		umsg.Start( "TcbMotd", ply )
		umsg.End()

	end

end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "OpenMotdOnJoin", OpenMotdOnJoin )

-- Console Command
local function OpenMotdOnConsoleCommand( ply )

	umsg.Start( "TcbMotd", ply )
	umsg.End()

end
concommand.Add( "TcbMotd", OpenMotdOnConsoleCommand )

-- Chat Command
local function OpenMotdOnCommand( ply, command, team )

	for k,v in pairs(OpenCommands) do
		if command == v then
			OpenMotdOnConsoleCommand( ply )
		end
	end

end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "OpenMotdOnCommand", OpenMotdOnCommand )

I'm trying to make a headshot perk that creates an explosion on their head but for some reason it doesn't run any help would be appreciated

Another question,

I was looking to modify the [URL="https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/669"]purge addon[/URL], to make the players invincible when the purge is not active.

Here are the two function from the sv_purge.lua:
(if you need the client one, ask me)

function Purge:Start()
	timer.Stop("purgeDelay")
	if !Purge.Enabled then return end
	timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function() 
		MsgN("The Purge has begun!")

		timer.Start("purgeLastsFor")

		net.Start("PurgeStart")
		net.Broadcast()
		
		local playertable = player.GetAll()
		
		if !playertable then Purge.Active = true MsgN("Purge error: Player table is empty!") return end
		
		for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
			if !v:IsAdmin() then
				for i,w in pairs(Purge.StrippedWeapons) do
					v:StripWeapon(w)
				end
			end
		end
		Purge.Active = true
	end)
end

function Purge:End()
	timer.Stop("purgeLastsFor")
	if !Purge.Enabled then return end
	timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function()  
		MsgN("End of the purge!")

		timer.Start("purgeDelay")
		
		net.Start("PurgeEnd")
		net.Broadcast()
		Purge.Active = false
		
		local playertable = player.GetAll()
		
		if !playertable then Purge.Active = true MsgN("Purge error: Player table is empty!") return end
		
		for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
			if !v:IsAdmin() then
				for i,w in pairs(Purge.StrippedWeapons) do
					for j,ww in pairs(RPExtraTeams[v:Team()].weapons) do
						if w == ww then
							v:Give(w)
							break
						end
					end
					for j,ww in pairs(Purge.NoJobWeapons) do
						if w == ww then
							v:Give(w)
							break
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

Is that possible?

[ROFLBURGER]

People who have downloaded my weapons report seeing muzzle flashes every time they go to reload. What is the most likely problem here? I don't even know what code to link.

I'm not familiar with this addon and honestly the code looks horrible. I have so many questions about it. Anyways, this should do what you want.

timer.Stop("purgeDelay")
if !Purge.Enabled then return end
timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function()
MsgN("The Purge has begun!")

timer.Start("purgeLastsFor")

net.Start("PurgeStart")
net.Broadcast()

local playertable = player.GetAll()

if !playertable then Purge.Active = true MsgN("Purge error: Player table is empty!") return end

for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
if !v:IsAdmin() then
for i,w in pairs(Purge.StrippedWeapons) do
v:StripWeapon(w)
end
end
v:GodEnable(true);
end
Purge.Active = true
end)
end

function Purge:End()
timer.Stop("purgeLastsFor")

timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function()

I edited the code so retry it now. The old code had it so that admins werent granted god-mode which is fixed.

[Tomelyr]

DarkRP right?
Did you heard of sbox_playershurtplayers . With that convar you can activate Player Damage to other Players. It isn't an full Godmode tho. Dunno which State was what ( IIRC 1 was activating the dmg)

[lua]function Purge:Start()
timer.Stop("purgeDelay")
if !Purge.Enabled then return end
timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function()
MsgN("The Purge has begun!")

timer.Start("purgeLastsFor")

net.Start("PurgeStart")
net.Broadcast()

RunConsoleCommand("sbox_playershurtplayers", "1")
local playertable = player.GetAll()

if !playertable then Purge.Active = true MsgN("Purge error: Player table is empty!") return end

for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
if !v:IsAdmin() then
for i,w in pairs(Purge.StrippedWeapons) do
v:StripWeapon(w)
end
end
end
Purge.Active = true
end)
end

function Purge:End()
timer.Stop("purgeLastsFor")
if !Purge.Enabled then return end
timer.Create("PurgeSyncTime", Purge.SyncTime, 1, function()
MsgN("End of the purge!")

timer.Start("purgeDelay")

net.Start("PurgeEnd")
net.Broadcast()
Purge.Active = false
RunConsoleCommand("sbox_playershurtplayers", "0")
local playertable = player.GetAll()

if !playertable then Purge.Active = true MsgN("Purge error: Player table is empty!") return end

for k,v in pairs(playertable) do
if !v:IsAdmin() then
for i,w in pairs(Purge.StrippedWeapons) do
for j,ww in pairs(RPExtraTeams[v:Team()].weapons) do
if w == ww then
v:Give(w)
break
end
end
for j,ww in pairs(Purge.NoJobWeapons) do
if w == ww then
v:Give(w)
break
end
end
end
end
end
end)
end
[/lua]

If you want an full Godmode, change it to sbox_godmode

Maybe use numeric indices for your lights table? You could also look at the paint function for DModelPanel since it has both directional and ambient lighting.
