What Are You Working On? Mesh Edition - August 2012

[NightlyDev]

[I][B]GLuaSourceDiet[/B][/I]. (Not finished, but works.)

It makes your script lighter and more difficult to read (for the people who want to steal some of your work !)

It's like LuaSrcDiet but GLuaSourceDiet can handle Glua Code.

[IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/a26e8i.png[/IMG]

Works with a classic Lua Interpreter.

[Gran PC]

You should have it remove redundant code, so for example, this:
[lua]local what = true
if what then print("what = true") end[/lua]
Should turn into
[lua]print("what = true")[/lua]

[DarKSunrise]

Why are you using both Notepad++ and Sublime Text 2?

[QUOTE=DarKSunrise;37312282]Why are you using both Notepad++ and Sublime Text 2?[/QUOTE]

I don't really know why...
Tried ST2 last week and I really love the highlighting.

[Noztra]

Actually, maybe I should make this game mode :) Just need a name for it. Man Vs. Dildo Psycho's.
What do you say? :v:

[garry]

Kinda not Lua. Shadows!

[vid]http://puu.sh/WOAq[/vid]

It's a cheat really - it uses env_projectedtextures on top of regular spot lights - but it works pretty cool!

[werewolf0020]

garry, best garry 2012

[Noztra]

Man Vs. Dildo Psycho's is the name then!
Will start coding when Garry's Mod 13 is out.
So for now, planning!

Can we have first person player shdows? That looked cool when I tried.

[Silverlan]

Speaking of shadows, would it be possible to create shadows for custom meshes?
I tried to find in the source code how shadows are managed in the engine, but couldn't really find anything helpful.

[Python1320]

Working on figuring out this big crashshit:

[B]HOW COME[/B] even with [URL="http://pastebin.com/d8jyMTZT"]this[/URL], this happens:

Yes, that's the stacktrace at bottom.
Yes, the crash was done with pasting one certain dupe with advduplicator2.

Suggestions?

RTT shadows would have to be recoded for them to work (but is that really worth it anyway, they look pretty horrible especially on big meshes), but projected texture shadows *should* work if you use VertexLitGeneric, unless the meshes are skipped in the flashlight pass altogether which is possible but again could be fixed by Garry.

They're ignored completely. Both by the flashlight light and env_projectedtexture.

Well I'm sure Garry can fix it by making them render during the flashlight pass.

I'm currently working on an RPG Gamemode which is called "Chronicles of Stingard", which is using the map "stingard" created by EvilScotsman.

ScreenShots:

1. Character Creation - 2. Character Selection -

7. Diablo-ish HUD which has customizable colors for the orbs (The HUD in the first screenshots is a customizable HUD that I'm working on)

Thank you :D

However, 3 new screenies for you guys to look at:
1. Item menu (The menu that appears when clicking an item)
[img_thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/1137411004734288022/73BEA812922A88482259D5A5E2E344F3870EA0D3/[/img_thumb]
2. Sell menu (the buy menu is the same, but without the "all option" - 3. What happens when you press "Sell amount".

[B]Edit:[/B]
Just a side note, you can switch between the Diablo HUD and the Customizable one.

[B]Edit2: [/B]
Also, a PHP script to view the players and characters that are stored in the MySQL Database [URL]http://phaseshiftgaming.co.cc/index.php?pages/characters/[/URL] (This isn't really the right section for it, but meh.)

[Bobbo]

You sir, deserve my babies!

Been working on a slot based inventory and each item can have its own inventory.

could it work on normal props? this would be so handy

[Legend286]

[QUOTE=Shadow45;37327129]could it work on normal props? this would be so handy[/QUOTE]

Not really, it would be a global thing and not per face.

You could do it with material proxies but it would probably be horrible.

[FPtje]

Fuck cutting props, create your own meshes instead!

New HUD for my server.

[Spencer Sharkey]

What's the file thing on the right?
Gun license or something?

Very clean and nice.

Also that RPG thing kicks ass, great props.

I had falco commit a function called formatNumber in the hud file - you should use it on your money (whichever of the 3 monies it is)

[antid2]

assuming this is for RP, it would be interesting if you had the "Citizen" or job bar, display whether or not you have a warrant out for arrest, or something similar? green=good standing, red=trouble..small idea, or maybe even make the HUD more simple by just removing the HP bar, and using the job bar as the health as well

[Pugsworth]

[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;37331220]I had falco commit a function called formatNumber in the hud file - you should use it on your money (whichever of the 3 monies it is)[/QUOTE]

I use this.
[Lua]local function commas(num)

if !num or type(num) != "number" and type(num) != "string" then return 0 end

local result = ""

local sign, before, after = string.match(tostring(num), "^([%+%-]?)(%d*)(%.?.*)$")

while string.len(before) > 3 do
result = "," .. string.sub(before, -3, -1) .. result
before = string.sub(before, 1, -4)
end

return sign .. before .. result .. after

end[/Lua]

It could probably be cleaned up and optimised though.

that's the one I'm talking about, I think it's by raBBish but I can't remember

It doesn't have to be. You can create a new material per prop if you want to.

[editline]21st August 2012[/editline]

You'll have to create a new material anyway since you can't get the material from an entity (at least not in gmod 12)
