What do you need help with? V3

[Mythikk]

My hud is working fine for me, but I used a custom font, I used surface.CreateFont, and created my font, and used it on the hud, and it worked fine.
But for other people, it's just the default font.
I put my font in resource/fonts, and made them download it with resource.AddFile, and it doesn't work.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me.

My font is called Agency FB.
Here's my resource.AddFile, my FastDL is set up correctly.
resource.AddFile("resource/fonts/AGENCYR.TTF")
The font file name is called AGENCYR.TTF
Where I created the font:
surface.CreateFont ("Agency FB", 32,400, true, false, "afb")

Me drawing the font
draw.SimpleText("Flawless", "afb", ScrW() - 155, -3, Color(0,150,255,255))

Also, I already had this font installed.
Which is why it only works for me.
It's probably a download issue.

Your image links are broken.

Maybe you [i]did[/i] have your fastdl set up correctly, before something happened to it.

Add a new file of some other type, like a model, that neither you or the clients have, then see if that one downloads correctly for everyone.

It works, I can download a model.
Plus, considering I can download the silkicons that come with the hud, also.

Thought it would help if I told you that my resource.AddFile file, is in
gamemodes/deathrun/init.lua

[QUOTE=A Lost Sandwich;37511451]Forgive me for this question, but how do you find the bitcount of a integer when using the new networked library? (net.WriteInt(val, bits), net.ReadInt(bits))[/QUOTE]

An n-bit integer has the range -2^(n-1) -> 2^(n-1)-1 (unsigned is 0 -> 2^n-1) so it depends on the possible range of your number.

Numbers in GMod are clamped to 32 bit integers anyway, right? ( I've never had a number go over 2,1 billion or so )

Bear in mind none of the networking is done in Lua, the numbers from Lua are then converted to numbers in C++, which are not limited to 32 bit at all. For networking purposes it would be more efficient to send a number between 0 and 255 as an 8 bit integer instead of 32 bit, so garry has given us the ability to do that with the bit argument to net.Read/WriteInt.

Yes but my point was, seeing as you declare the numbers in Lua, those numbers are restricted to 32 bits, and so regardless of where the networking is being done, you should never have a number bigger than 32 bits?

Where did having a number bigger than 32 bits even come into it?

[ralle105]

All numbers in lua are doubles.

[QUOTE=Bletotum;37511577]I don't know (I had your problem), but you can use Write/ReadFloat for the same effect without having to find it, so that the number sends correctly. You can also store everything you want to send in a table for Write/ReadTable to shorten your code.[/QUOTE]

That is what I have been doing but I've been told that doing WriteInt is more efficient as long as I'm not using a decimal.

[BorisJ]

[QUOTE=A Lost Sandwich;37515109]That is what I have been doing but I've been told that doing WriteInt is more efficient as long as I'm not using a decimal.[/QUOTE]

And you're right :P. A float is 8 or 64 bytes while an int is generally 4.

I've probably overlooked my answer several times like an idiot. But I can't seem to find it myself.

Does anybody know of a Lua Editing addon for Gmod that allows you to edit code on the spot and run it without having to restart or do uploading to the server? I want to learn lua, but I'm a bit impatient when it comes to load times and waiting on uploads/downloads.

TL;DR, I'm looking for a Lua Editor that is similar to E2's layout. With Syntax Highlighting and being able to just update the file in-game and have it run.
Though most of my editing will be in single-player until it requires a server.

I plan to make a Gamemode in the future. And possibly evolve that into a stand alone Source game. Many ideas, but they're all a process. Next on the list is Lua. So here I am.

if its single player, just run in window mode and use the command gamemode_reload to reload your gamemode. To reload entities use lua_reloadents

hey i need help with the sound.add format for a vehicle in gmod13 and since gmod13 dont use normal soundscripts like gmod 12 it needs to be lua instead it seems im a newbie to this and would gladly like to get some help cause its not fun with soundless vehicles

i followed this example:

sound.Add( 
{
    name = "enzo_engine_idle",
    channel = CHAN_STATIC,
    volume = 1.0,
    soundlevel = 80,
    pitchstart = 95,
    pitchend = 110,
    sound = "vehicles/enzo/idle.wav"
} )

and i got a sound on idle reverse and a little on when driving but the sound dissappears
heres how i did it:

You need pitchend after every pitchstart
so if pitchstart = 100, then pitchend = 100
if pitchstart = 110, pitchend = 110

Nobody knows anything about this issue, and the crash dump? Would it be better to go to the GMod 13 BETA section instead?

Thanks, NonSense, but i've got another problem now.
I'm trying to make a simple SWEP. Just to get used to LUA, but when i start up a singleplayer game in Gmod with this code in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\littleboyred1\garrysmod\garrysmod\lua\weapons\myMod , i get an error.

if (SERVER) then

	SWEP.HoldType   = "ar2"
end

if (CLIENT) then

You need to put function in front of SWEP:Initialize() and SWEP:PrimaryAttack().

function SWEP:Initialize()
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
