What do you need help with? V3

[HighVoltage]

Whats the command that allows you to use lua_run_cl and lua_openscript_cl commands again? I can't find it.

Also, how do you make it so fonts you make scale equally with the screen?

Trying to get a custom MOTD to work and I get this error:
[lua]
[ERROR] addons/motd/lua/autorun/client/cl_easymotd.lua:136: attempt to call method 'GetSelected' (a nil value)
1. SkinHook - addons/motd/lua/autorun/client/cl_easymotd.lua:136
2. unknown - lua/vgui/dbutton.lua:85
[/lua]
Here is the problematic area:
[lua]
function skin:PaintButton(button)
local w, h = button:GetSize()
local x, y = 0,0

local bordersize = 8
if w <= 32 or h <= 32 then bordersize = 4 end -- This is so small buttons don't look messed up

if button.m_bBackground then
local color1 = Color(50, 50, 50, 255)
local color2 = Color(150, 150, 150, 150)

if button:GetDisabled() then
color2 = Color(80, 80, 80, 255)
elseif button.Depressed or button:GetSelected() then
color2 = Color(color2.r + 40, color2.g + 100, color2.b + 40, color2.a + 40)
elseif button.Hovered then

color2 = Color(color2.r + 40, color2.g + 40, color2.b + 40, color2.a + 40)
end
draw.RoundedBox(bordersize, x, y, w, h, color1)

end
end

Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help.

I've tried looking for tmysql4 for linux, is it out? I can't find it. I tried using the boost version, but it seems like that's not alike the tmysql4 one.

[erko]

I'm working on a custom gamemode, but for the love of god I cannot figure out how to create a simple outline. Since the change of SetModelScale and GetModelScale I'm ripping my hair out, I have tryed Matrix()

                        local mat = Matrix()
		mat:Scale(1.1 )
		self:EnableMatrix( "RenderMultiply", mat )
		render.MaterialOverride( Material("white_outline" )
		self:DrawModel()

I want to make it so the player is highlighted when you use a certain item on him, but all it does it make him all white instead.

I would like to play an intro sound for when people join my server however I am having a problem with it sometimes cutting off short.

I think this is due to the fact that the console command play filename.wav only allows one sound to be played at a time.

How would I make it so that the sound file doesn't cut off? Is there a way to play multiple sounds at once?

In lua you can do sound.play() for onplayerinitalspawn i think the hook is

How would I get the actual name of an NPC? I wanted to print out that a player was killed by a zombie, but i've tried [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Entity/GetClass]Entity:GetClass[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] and [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Entity/GetName]Entity:GetName[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b], but [I]GetClass[/I] returns npc_zombie and the like, while [I]GetName[/I] just doesn't print anything. Is there any quick way to display the actual name, or would I have to do it myself and check what npc they were?

[Bitroid]

[QUOTE=JetBoom;38345517]LocalPlayer():EmitSound("whatever.wav", 0, 100)[/QUOTE]

When I used that, nothing seemed to play.

This is my code if it might help.

function ShowMOTD( ply )

You need to have an addon.txt file now, instead of info.txt

Can't you just do something like:

local newClass = string.gsub(ent:GetClass(), "npc_", "")
local npcName = string.gsub(newClass, "_", " ")

Why does this cause my game to instantly crash if I shoot and kill an NPC right after applying this effect?
Here is my code:
[lua]
-- snippet of code in weapons primary fire function
if ( SERVER ) and IsValid(trace.Entity) then
local fx = EffectData()
fx:SetEntity(trace.Entity)
fx:SetMagnitude(1)
util.Effect("ut2k4_overlay", fx, true)

-- DamageInfo is applied here and only crashes if it kills the NPC
end
[/lua]
[lua]
--effects/UT2K4_Overlay.lua
function EFFECT:Init(data)
self.ent = data:GetEntity()
self.mat = "sprites/UT2K4/Lightning_Energy" //data:GetMaterial() doesn't exist :(
self.delay = CurTime()+data:GetMagnitude()
if IsValid(self.ent) then
self.model = ClientsideModel( self.ent:GetModel(), RENDERGROUP_OPAQUE)
self.model:SetMaterial(self.mat)
self.model:SetParent(self.ent)
self.model:AddEffects(EF_BONEMERGE)
end
end

function EFFECT:Think()
if IsValid(self.ent) and self.ent:IsPlayer() and !self.ent:Alive() and IsValid( self.ent:GetRagdollEntity() ) then
self.ent = self.ent:GetRagdollEntity()
end
if CurTime() > self.delay or !IsValid(self.ent) then
self.model:Remove()
self.model = nil
return false
end
return true
end

function EFFECT:Render()
end
[/lua]

It only happens when I shoot a NPC and kill it. I spawned monk and a crow, shot monk fine then shot the crow and crashed.
Here is my crash log if it helps: [url]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34886768/hl2_147_crash_2012_11_7T4_22_27C0.mdmp[/url]

You should try looking at [url="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page"]the wiki[/url] for simple things like that, it'll be faster than waiting for someone to reply here

[lua]for _,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do

[QUOTE=Persious;38358375]Uh, so, how do I use the linux version of boost? Does it work exactly the same?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it works exactly the same. The only difference is that it uses boost libraries which I provided in my svn. For whatever reason I can't compile any modules against the source sdk on linux, so I had to use boost. There is no difference in functionality at all.

Instead of just needing just libmysql.so, you will need like 3 extra along side it.
