Is the lua source of GM13 stored anywhere? I'd like to get the template DFrame off of which I could base my own frame. Thanks!

I hope this is irony.
It's saved in the GCF file located in steamapps folder.

It's ironic how you use the definition of irony. :v:

In all seriousness though, thanks.

My definition of irony isn't ironic because the source code of a game [U]has[/U] to be stored somewhere.
and you're welcome. I think someone ( banana lord ) has a website ( glua.me ) containing the source code extracted from the GCF ( lua bin ) made by Overv.

Setting model scale of models inside the DModelPanel in Gmod 13.
Anyone?

[editline]15th June 2012[/editline]

I got that part.. Now what about using the new ManipulateBoneScale on client entities in the DModelPanels? :S

Is there an easy-ish way to make it so players can shoot weapons while in a vehicle? Not like the attached gun in the jeep, but their actual weapons they have when walking around.

I'm sure this has been asked, but google search didn't immediately return anything useful.

[Chessnut]

You can probably call player:FireBullets(tableOfBulletStuff).

The hackiest way would be to parent the player to the seat manually so he isn't really in the vehicle for the engine and still can use his weapons, there's no other simple way to do it and make it compatible with c++ weapons.
You can use capsadmin's seat addon which exactly does that.
I don't think Caps released the last version though, so ask him directly for it.

just remember to do ply:SetViewOffset(Vector(0,0,0)) and make sure the player can't move

changing the view offset to 0 0 0 makes it so when you rotate the parent prop, the player will rotate properly with it making him able to aim properly regardless of the angle of the prop

Sorry if this isn't the right place but I'm reading the PiL and I'm at the part about tables and I'm a little confused. What do they mean when they say index? I looked up the definition online but couldn't find anything that was relevant. Heres the full sentence: For Lua, this means "index the table io using the string "read" as the key."

Indexes are what are used to identify values in tables, they are unique, i.e. you can't have two different elements with the same index, it's one or the other. In Lua indexes can be any type of data at all, a number (most efficient), a string, even a player or an entity.

To index as a verb means the process of using an index to find a value in a table. If you had a table called "io" and it contained a function, it would make sense to have the index of that function as it's name, to make it easy to access. So you would call io["read"]() or a cleaner way - io.read() .

They're also often referred to as "keys", (hence the common notation for k, v in pairs - key, value), because each one is unique and to access a value in the table you need it's associated unique key, just like you need the key to a lock to open it, and only one key will open that lock.

I am trying to make it that the client can turn off a convar to stop the music. I have it in the server CFG so it is set to one... But it says "Command invalid" when I test it. Help? (NOTE: The sounds are proven to work without the commad)

You need to use CreateClientConVar, not CreateConVar. Then use a for loop through all players, and use Player:GetInfoNum("convarname") to see if they have the convar enabled.

All client sided. No need to make the server do the work. Sever still needs to make the client download the sounds.

What is the proper bitwise for getting the servers IP from hostip?

local hostip=GetConVarNumber("hostip")
	local a=hostip&0x000000FF
	local b=(hostip&0x0000FF00)>>8
	local c=(hostip&0x00FF0000)>>16
	local d=(hostip&0xFF000000)>>24
	print(a.."."..b.."."..c.."."..d)

doesn't seem to work for me.

[editline]19th June 2012[/editline]

While on the topic of hostip, is it possible to get the servers hostname in menu state?

[ralle105]

The bitwise operators in gmod freak out with numbers larger than 0x7fffffff so you'll have to create your own functions to emulate them.

Oh yeah I remember that from hex colors.. That sucks.

Make a function, like so
[lua]
function EasyButton(x,y,w,h,parent)
local button = vgui.Create("DButton",parent)
button:SetSize(w,h)
button:SetPos(x,y)
return button
end
[/lua]

You would use it like
[lua]
local button = EasyButton(90,20,5,50,frame)
button.DoClick = function()
end
