What do you need help with? V3

Anyone have any idea how to fix these issues?

Tooltips and dropdown are being drawn behind the panel. This didn't happen in GM12. I tried setting Zpos of the panels and setting DrawOnTop to false for the parent panels.

Second issue is the DColorMixer. The background image for the alpha bar is extending far beyond the alpha bar.

I am running this code, but it isn't working properly

maps.lua

local Map = game.GetMap()

function GM:PlayerLoadout( pl )

if Map!= "mg_ka_trains" then
ply:Give( "weapon_crowbar" )

Based on the information you provided, I have come to the conclusion that you're missing an end.
EDIT: Also, you're being inconsistent with the name of your player variable. That should have returned an error, are you sure you're running the code properly?

This is using GetActiveWeapon correct? That means it is not possible to record kills from Grenades, C4, etc..

I need a quick help, once I've added image files through resource.AddFile("dir"), how do I access them to use .pngs as materials?

I tried [lua]resource.AddFile("icons/spellicon.png")[/lua]

Then on the client:
[lua]function DrawClassIcons( self )

surface.SetMaterial( Material( "icons/spellicon.png" ) );
surface.SetDrawColor( Color(255, 255, 255, 255) );
surface.DrawTexturedRect( 128, 128, 64, 64 );

end[/lua]

[Hugabuga]

[lua]
surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255)
surface.SetMaterial( Material( "icons/spellicon.png" ) )
surface.DrawTexturedRect( 128, 128, 64, 64 )
[/lua]

[QUOTE=Persious;38583130][lua]

[/lua][/QUOTE]

That didn't change anything unfortunatly...

[QUOTE=brickyross;38582831]This is using GetActiveWeapon correct? That means it is not possible to record kills from Grenades, C4, etc..[/QUOTE]
Of course it's possible to record kills from weapons. Just do something like this:
[lua]function GM:PlayerDeath(pl, attacker, dmginfo)
if not IsValid(pl) then return end

local inflictor = dmginfo:GetInflictor()

if IsValid(attacker) then -- You can track whatever you want from the weapon, I chose the class
if inflictor.GetClass and inflictor:GetClass() then
local inflictorclass = inflictor:GetClass()

attacker.WeaponKills = attacker.WeaponKills or {}
attacker.WeaponKills[inflictorclass] = (attacker.WeaponKills[inflictorclass] + 1) or 1
end
end
end[/lua]
If you want to get how many kills a weapon has, just do:
[lua]attacker.WeaponKills["weapon_mp5"][/lua]
That would be all the kills the attacker has with the weapon mp5, if any. Be sure if you're calling that, WeaponKills is already defined (might want to define it on PlayerInitialSpawn).

How do you make a longish (4-5 second) sound loop in a SWEP while you hold down the fire button?
Any attempts I make end up making the sound not stop properly.

[Halokiller38]

Trying to make this swep disappear off of view while reloading, then return after it's finished reloading. I can get it to disappear, but not come back. Can anyboy help?

function SWEP:Reload()

	if (self.Weapon:DefaultReload(ACT_VM_RELOAD)) then -- These are the lines
		self.Owner:DrawViewModel(false) -- These are the lines
	end -- These are the lines
	
        -- Ignore this really)
	if ( self.Reloadaftershoot > CurTime() ) then return end 
	-- If you're firering, you can't reload

	self.Weapon:DefaultReload(ACT_VM_RELOAD) 

	if ( self.Weapon:Clip1() < self.Primary.ClipSize ) and self.Owner:GetAmmoCount(self.Primary.Ammo) > 0 then
	-- When the current clip < full clip and the rest of your ammo > 0, then

The problem is that I just can't manage to get my custom image... no matter what I put in the material path it always return the freaking pink and black checker...

The file is located in "mygamemode/content/materials/icons/missing_spell_icons.png"

The client downloaded the file.

Here's the code
[lua] surface.SetDrawColor( Color(255, 255, 255, 255))
surface.SetMaterial( Material( "icons/missing_spell_icon.png" ) );
surface.DrawTexturedRect( self.IconX[k], IconY, 64, 64 );[/lua]

I don't know if it was a simple typo... but the filepath in your code is missing an 's' on icons. That would pretty much wreck everything.

[.\\Shadow}]

It also needs to be in materials/icons/, not gamemodes/mygamemode/content/materials/icons, if you want the client to download it.

don't call Material inside draw/paint functions, put local mat = Material( "whatever" ) outside the function then use mat instead.

Material() defaults to the materials diretory, looks like you're using the icons directory instead (Judging from the resource.AddFile you posted earlier)

Try this:
[lua]Material( "../icons/missing_spell_icon.png" )[/lua]

[Darkwater]

[QUOTE=Wolfo;38587664]So should I replace every ` with ' since I want to add data to inventory?[/QUOTE]

In that code snippet, yes.

Basically, before the = you use `` and after it you use ''. (`` are optional, but recommended for consistency).

Don't forget to escape [B]EVERYTHING[/B] the user can input (including names!) to prevent SQL injecting. If you want to store a username in a database and you don't escape it, someone can change his name to '; DROP TABLE inventory; and it's byebye inventories.

Sound painful, but what do you mean with [I]escape[/I] everything?

[Chessnut]

Escape means that you prevent something like if someone's name is "..print('hur').." and you try to load something related to their name, it ends up doing ""..print('hur').."", therefor letting them run Lua. Most mysql modules have a built in function, and the SQLite thing included has sql.SQLStr().
