You can go 'up' a directory with ../

For example:

folder_one/folder_two/../ is the same as folder_one/

That means you'd have to do ../file.lua

I don't think you've ever had to do that with include,. Only with file operations and that was removed probably close to a year ago.

I was wondering how to add extra tabs and also remove tabs similar to the ones here:

[img]http://gyazo.com/8827a73bafa697f206744bc594801a39.png?1355633897[/img]

For example a Rules tab where theres a list of basic rules and a Donator tab that has donator entities?

[M0dSe7en]

1. open the file the menu is coded in.
2. ctrl f and search for "AddSheet"
3. delete the line that has the tab you don't want

if you want to add tabs you do it the same way as the other ones, but you have to make a panel to parent to the tab.

you can learn about vgui basics here:

@Above do something like this (might be wrong because i wrote it off the top of my head

if Random == 1 then

Call it server side i'm guessing it's trying to call it clientside, lua/autorun/server/armorregen.lua

[M0dSe7en]

I'm trying to write an xp system.

I'm using the net library and I'm wondering how I should use net.WriteUInt().

I'm learning c++ and I know an unsigned int has more range than the default int range. However, the second argument for net.WriteUInt() requires the size of the message.

How would i find the size of the message?

[RockstarC]

Hello, Could anyone please help me add ranks to TTT scoreboard?

Kind Regards.

[ChrisR7]

This'll sound a bit stupid, but how can I replace the default sounds for a weapon with custom sounds (ex. A hexed mp5 swep has a custom deploy sound, but always uses the default sound)? the most likely way to do it would be scripts, but either they don't work or I don't know how to use them. Anyone have any ideas?

[M0dSe7en]

[B]edit:[/B]

Nevermind. I found out you can use net.BytesWritten() to automate the size of the message, however I apparently can't use that to read the int, which for some reason also requires the message's size (bits). Any ideas?

Anyways, here's my code if anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong..

SERVER:
[lua]

util.AddNetworkString("addXP")
local Player = FindMetaTable("Player")
function Player:AddXP( int )
if !self.XP then self.XP = 0 end
self.XP = self.XP + int
net.Start( "addXP" )
net.WriteInt( int, net.BytesWritten() )
print(self:Nick().." --> "..int.." | "..net.BytesWritten())
net.Send( self )
end
[/lua]

CLIENT:

[lua]
if (CLIENT) then
net.Receive("addXP", function (length, client)
local int = net.ReadInt()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
print(ply:Nick().." <-- "..int.." | "..net.BytesWritten())

if !ply.XP then ply.XP = 0 end
ply.XP = ply.XP + int
end)
end
[/lua]

Lastly here's how I've been calling it

SERVER:
[lua]
ply:AddXP(30)
[/lua]

I'm still a little skeptical of using net.BytesWritten() am i using that correctly also? I read the page on using the net library on the wiki, but they never demonstrated how to write and read ints/uints.

[editline]16th December 2012[/editline]

the error I'm getting says
[lua] gamemodes/xxxxxxxx/gamemode/sh_xp.lua:52: bad argument #1 to 'ReadInt' (number expected, got no value)[/lua]

which is the line that says local int = net.ReadInt()

Write/ReadInt doesn't take the size of the entire message. I suggest you take a look here: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/net/WriteInt[/url]

[QUOTE=M0dSe7en;38854822]Any ideas?[/QUOTE]

You need to specify the amount of bits to use in Int and UInt. For example, net.WriteInt(xp, 8) would write an integer that's valid between -127 and 127. If you used a UInt (unsigned) then it would be 0 - 255. If you used 16 bits then you could get from 0 - 65535 in an unsigned integer (which is what it looks like you want since you can't have negative XP). If you use 32 bits you shouldn't ever have a problem with overflow.

signed:
net.WriteInt(data, numbits)
net.ReadInt(numbits)

unsigned:
net.WriteUInt(data, numbits)
net.ReadUInt(numbits)

Does anyone know if any of the new Derma controls allow for laying out panels in a row? I would use DPanelList, but as it's effectively deprecated I'd rather not use it (or I can just make my own solution, but figured it's worth asking first).

[editline]17th December 2012[/editline]

Whoops, should mention I've looked into DLineLayout, however the file containing the information for this element seems to be missing from my install and there's no wiki documentation on it.

Seems DIconLayout is what I'm after.
