hud stuffs

I mean it shows up and everything but the shapes are all squares and it conflicts with another mod. Even without that silly for i=300 line it has the same result.[/QUOTE]

local mat = Material"BurgerHUD/WhiteSquare.png"

And you don't need to set the same font every time

Remove the

self.FireMode = self.Firemode or 1

in the if ( SERVER ) then end and replace the first one with

self.FireMode = 1

Make sure your SWEP:Initialize is called on client.

OR you can add it like this:

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
    if !SERVER then return end
    self.FireMode = self.FireMode or 1
    if self.FireMode == 4 then
    ...

Still coughing up errors. No idea what's causing this.
A portion of SWEP:Initialize is called on the client ( hence If CLIENT then ) - should I add it in there instead?

Anyone got a good tutorial on STOOLS? The source code is a bit weird, I can't work out how to set the name on the HUD etc, the source code just does some weird # shit.
The tutorial on the old wiki is outdated,
I can't figure out how to make variables change when a object is changed in the BuildCPanel function.

Take a look at sources of my workshop Easy* tools. ( I recommend the bodygroup one. ) It shall give you an idea of what you gotta do.

Hi There! I have been having some troubles adding this code to my server.
Essentially want I want to do is make a ulx command that only admins can use to give a certain player a certain ammount of points. Also to prevent admin abuse, I added code to prevent the use of negative points. Thats how they cant remove all the points of a player thus making them mad.

[LUA] function ulx.givepoints( calling_ply, target_plys, should_silent, points )
if not GetConVarString("gamemode") == "terrortown" then ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, gamemode_error, true ) else
for i=1, #target_plys do
target_plys[ i ]:PS_GivePoints(points)
end
if points < 0 then
ply:ChatPrint("You can't give a negative amount of points")
return
end
ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, true, "#A gave #T #i pointshop credits", target_plys, amount )
end
end
local givepoints = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx givepoints", ulx.credits, "!givepoints")
givepoints:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
givepoints:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.NumArg, hint="Pointshop Points", ULib.cmds.round }
givepoints:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_SUPERADMIN )
givepoints:setOpposite( "ulx silent givepoints", {_, _, _, true}, "!sgivepoints", true )
givepoints:help( "Gives the <target(s)> Pointshop Points." ) [/LUA]

[del]I have done other code edits regarding upgradeable pointshop items and that resulted in the destruction of the server with blank grey player models, all pointshop items reset, all items gone, and UTIME reset.[/del] No Worries! Go to the bottom for updates on this.

I dont want to do that again because right now thats very risky. I am not making any changes to pointshop now. This isnt a change to pointshop, but does affect a pointshop variable called self.PS_GivePoints also dont worry as this is Undefined_'s pointshop so its not a coderhire plugin or what of the sort.

Here is what the pointshop uses PS_Givepoints() for:
[LUA] function Player:PS_GivePoints(points)
self.PS_Points = self.PS_Points + points
self:PS_SendPoints()
end

function Player:PS_TakePoints(points)
self.PS_Points = self.PS_Points - points >= 0 and self.PS_Points - points or 0
self:PS_SendPoints()
end

function Player:PS_SetPoints(points)
self.PS_Points = points
self:PS_SendPoints()
end

function Player:PS_GetPoints()
return self.PS_Points and self.PS_Points or 0
end

function Player:PS_HasPoints(points)
return self.PS_Points >= points
end [/LUA]

[del]If I do have any errors in my current code,[/del] Actually, I do have errors. Please if you find another, tell me where so I can fix it. [del]I might ask for a voluntary tester because it would be very bad to break the server again.[/del] (<------ Not needed anymore) Thanks for all the help in advanced!

[B][I]EDIT: NEW RESULTS FROM TESTING[/I][/B]

So far I see that now once adding this to my server. Somehow ulx is 100% disabled both from clientside and serverside. That includes rcon.
Fortunately U-Time and pointshop are 100% preserved. XGUI is an unknown command just like every ulx command for some reason
and, also rcon displays invalid command. So I can't do anything at all because ulx IS DEAD. DEAD TO THE POINT WHERE IT WONT MOUNT.
Biggest thing that makes my mind think is that part with the [LUA] for i=1, #target_plys do
target_plys[ i ]:PS_GivePoints(points) [/LUA]
is the breaking point. I need help on syntax with this phrase of code to the rest.

[Ott]

Look at your logs. ULX has a really fucking obnoxious boot message filled with tons of slashes and stuff, you can't miss it. Your syntax looks fine.

This may be hard to explain, but what I am looking to do is check the results from a mysql query (a table) and check for a steam ID, which I have done with help from people here, but my next problem is that I want the player's Steam ID to be entered into the table if it can not be found, this is where my problem lies.

My problem is that when it checks for Steam ID, it goes through every record in that column, which is good, I have made it so it stops checking when it has found the player's Steam ID, in my case I want it to insert the new player's Steam ID if it was not found in the table, which I have half done. But for each record in the table that isn't equal to the player Steam ID, it inserts the player's Steam ID, so this means if there are 10 records of other players, it will insert the players Steam ID 10 times before it stops, ending up with 10 records for one player etc. I hope you understand, here is some code that might explain it a little more in depth.

	local findinfo = db:query("SELECT steam_id FROM player_data")
	local newdata = db:query("INSERT INTO player_data(steam_id, cash) VALUES('"..ply:SteamID().."', '1000')")

        function findinfo:onSuccess( data )
		for k,v in pairs(data) do
			if(v.steam_id == ply:SteamID()) then
				print("Player data found for: ".. ply:SteamID())
			break
			else
				print("Player data NOT found for: ".. ply:SteamID().. ", creating...")
				newdata:start()
			end
		end
	end

        findinfo:start()

So at the moment, when a player first spawns, it checks for their steam ID starting at the top of the table working its way down, the only time it will stop is if it finds the players steam ID.
I hope this makes some sense as I have been testing and trying for a while now and it's getting very annoying.

I'm quite new to Derma and have been making a few menus to learn/for practice. My text is supposed to say 'playtime:' but is getting cut off. I've noticed it's happened a few times and I want to know how to stop it so it shows all of the text

local playtime = vgui.Create("DLabel", playerinfopanel)

Your query is fundamentally wrong, you're working with a database and you're not using it like a database.

You should ask the database to return what you are actually looking for, for example:
[lua]
local findinfo = db:query("SELECT * FROM player_data WHERE steam_id ='"..ply:SteamID().."';")
[/lua]

Then you check the results and see if it gives you anything, if not, THEN insert a new record.

[lua]
if #data < 1 then
--add player to database
else
--player exists
end
[/lua]

[TheDoggy]

Thanks for confirming this, after I posted it I did more searching and thought it might have something to do with that, I'll try it out soon!

Thank you :P

EDIT:

Works fine, amazing how the answer to some things can be so simple!
Thanks again :P

I asked a few coders on my friendslist about this, and apparently it's a gmod bug, but does anyone know why this is occurring?

	local playeravatar = vgui.Create("AvatarImage", playerinfopanel)
	playeravatar:SetSize( 128, 128 )
	playeravatar:SetPos( 30, 30 )
	playeravatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 128)

If I try 184 on just SetPlayer or both, the same thing happens, but bigger. If I change the SetPlayer to 64 or lower, it's fine without the glitchy border but looks blurry as fuck.

What I'm essentially trying to do is have an avatar that it's 128x128 but also not blurry.

version 2.0 and by gmod bug do you mean it is unfixable or what exactly are you implying?

Does anyone know a way to set the color of a player (SetColor) without defining the color of clientsidemodel that is linked to a bone of the player?

[QUOTE=Ott;45577758]Look at your logs. ULX has a really fucking obnoxious boot message filled with tons of slashes and stuff, you can't miss it. Your syntax looks fine.[/QUOTE]

[del]Where can I find that? Once I boot the server can I see it in the RCON? I have double checked my joining of the server multiple times on my client-side console. Nothing much. ULX looks like it loaded everything perfectly. It proceeds to load all files. Loads them all, but then doesnt work at all.[/del]

I checked the console.log
There are no errors. However once I remove my script, ULX loads and works perfectly.

The last error I see was from 7/22/14 in the Console.log
[LUA] L 07/22/2014 - 00:32:53: Lua Error:
[ERROR] addons/pointshop_ultimate/lua/sv_player_extension.lua:279: attempt to index field 'PS_Items' (a nil value)

That above is exactly what caused the grey player models to appear a long time ago. However I did fix that by restoring the files prior to change.

However for my new ulx command that I made I added the file in the

Garrysmod/addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh

folder
named [I]givepoints.lua[/I]

[Blasteh]

Asked this before but didn't get an answer and it's kinda bugging me.

Is there a way to create a convar on the server and client, and set it so that the client knows what it's set to as soon as they join?

I currently use CreateConVar( "settingname", "0", FCVAR_REPLICATED) in a shared file
settingname is set to 1 in server.cfg
The server sees settingname as 1
The client sees settingname as 0 until the server changes it.

Send over multiple net messages or lower the quality.

Or compress using [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/Compress]util.Compress[/url] and write as data. Then do the opposite on the receiving end.

it's still too much data, it captures a square as wide and tall as monitor height
it's going to be resized either way so anywhere is fine really

This doesn't guarantee it'll fit in a single net message.

It's simple enough to split in to chunks with string.sub and some maths and then when writing the data to each message use net.WriteData.

Let me find my gist of this in action.
