Garry Match - Garry's Mod - Facepunch Forum

okai, editing

I'm actually working on a "Create-your-own-character" system: [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2nvss6.png[/IMG] I'm trying to find out how to change a player's name, then I'll add icons to weapons and skills. Everything you see in the image is fully working and saves everything as TXT file, but I still haven't uploaded it [B]and[/B], as previously said, the name-change doesn't work. [editline]fag[/editline] [Url=http://www.mediafire.com/?yc2qw2nonga][B]Content pack updated![/B][/Url]

...Any suggestions? I added some portal musics played on spawn and I improved the character menu... but I need some suggestions.

Please. No more G-Gamemodes. Change the name. "G-Match", Hahaha.

[QUOTE=Zcom;20829868]Please. No more G-Gamemodes. Change the name. "G-Match", Hahaha.[/QUOTE] Ok then, what's the name you'd like to see?

[QUOTE=lonewolf2;20831152]Ok then, what's the name you'd like to see?[/QUOTE] That is for [B]you[/B] to decide. I can however give you examples of names from gamemodes I've coded, such as: [B]Stealth [/B] Not G-Stealth, not StealthDM, just Stealth. It's not taken, its easy to remember, and best of all: it doesn't have a single "G" in it. The game is a simple 2-Team deathmatch shooter. Simple gamemode, simple name. [B]Black Harvest[/B] A roleplaying gamemode without the letters "RP" in it. Fancy that. The name should be easy to come up with. Think of the central theme of the gamemode. The theme that anyone can relate to simply by looking at its name. The name should be something unique, new, simple, and phonetically pleasing to the ear.

The dark background should be a rounded box (try size 4, or size 6 for bordersize) and should leave about 5 pixels between the edge of the box and the edge of the window. The whole thing could be fit neatly into 1/2 the space, put the text 5 pixels in from the corner of the background, with 20 to 25 pixels in between each text element. The model panel only needs to be moved up a bit. The textbox just be directly below the model panel, and be the size from the start of the text to the end of the model panel (x axis wise, should be 20 pixels high). The refresh button and the one with the window resize icon should be 5 pixels apart and 5 pixels from the right of the textbox, and 20 pixels high. The increase speed and health button things should be at the top, right of the model panel and the text should be centered above the buttons. Any extra space at the bottom right should be removed.

Sexy!

Now it looks messy and unorganized. :D You know what i Like to do in situations like this? Draw it out on a piece of paper. Works nicely EDIT: Do you know what would happen if you got stamina 3? .. it blows up and clutters more. Let me try to sketch out a possibility... [IMG]http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6592/10824661.jpg[/IMG] I would offer to code that for you, but I don't know how you set it all up. I could give you a.. basic setup of it? If you like. You'd have to message me the width of some of the stuff... etc. Let's just say we'd have to talk. Your bright though, I'm sure you'll at least give it a shot if not get it done. Also, when you draw the label, do this instead: (at some point in it) [CODE] DermaLabel.Paint = function()--change that to the proper name, etc draw.RoundedBox(5,5,5,width,height,Color(90,90,90,255)) end[/CODE]

[QUOTE=Kalik 911;20845174]Now it looks messy and unorganized. :D IMAGE[/QUOTE] Not bad though, I think I'll use your image as sketch but I've got something else in mind. And, I'll think about the color later, I prefer to get a stable menu before coloring it all.

[IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/23qu4l.png[/IMG] There, this is what I've done right now, if it still looks messy and unorganized then I'll try what you posted. The weapon menu is parented with the main Derma Panel with the model and such, yet, you can move it around.

I think it looks great, though i think it should be possible to change your playermodel was well

Okay, the is really awesome. :)

I still think you could compact everything even further. Are you using functions like [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Panel.MoveBelow]Panel.MoveBelow [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]? It makes it easier to align Derma elements into smaller spaces.

[editline]03:37PM[/editline] Although, you shouldn't define the color object inside the paint function in that code snippet.

Update:[code] [ADD]Dark Edges / Black Border - SERVER ONLY [FIX]HP Regen (you will gain 1 HP each second untill you get your MAXHP back) [ADD]Stealth System [ADD]Spawn with your last lives[/code] I was thinking about changing the name to "[B]Deadly Warfare[/B]", what do you guys think about it?

This looks really cool.

can u open the spawn menu still ??

Adding modifiable player Tags (saved on the server) and a color TAB where you can modify your tag's color. [editline]failure D:[/editline] Damn I failed in changing the color of the tag.. well.. I think I'll just remove it... the color tag, not the tag :P NEWS: Added food system: you'll get something each [B]killstreak[/B] -- just [B]use[/B] it via F1 AND AGAIN -- [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=94420][B]Download Updated!![/B][/url]

Can I host a dedicated server on this?

[QUOTE=Flubadoo;20915814]Can I host a dedicated server on this?[/QUOTE] Yes that's why he released it.

This gamemode looked pretty interesting, but I don't think I'll try it out after seeing how much an asshole the creator is. Not to say your gamemode is bad because you're an asshole, I just don't like supporting assholes. One of the reasons I don't play on NoxiousNet (that and I'm banned for no real reason). Still, though, I do like the HUD in the pictures. Looks pretty neat. :buddy:

Someone post server ip that runs this

I just hope it's just just a troll-comment. I can see you hate being banned for no reason, as I hate being called an asshole by someone without proper reason :keke: I also don't think you "support" assholes by downloading their stuff, that's just a stupid concept of "supporting people".

If you think that this gamemode is [B]dead[/B] then you are wrong, I'm still working on this. I'm making a custom HUD for combines. Also - added a new screen by "Acrobot".
