MOOCOW Admin Mod - Garry's Mod

If you can, then perhaps your GUI should reflect that.

No, the GUI is for fast access.

And that's where our philosophies differ. Mine is in place so that people don't need to know the syntax of chat/console commands off hand... Either way, I'm not going to argue the virtues of fast access vs control in a GUI with you, neither of us will be swayed, I'm sure.

[QUOTE=Overv;14534646]In NewAdmin you can actually set the ban time and reason. Do I have to create a wiki for it for you to understand?[/QUOTE] Listen, your small success has given you to a false sense of knowing. Chill out and go to your own thread. Do I need to create a wiki on NewAdmin and post side by side diffs of optimization, errors and wtf's for you to review? Don't be a cocky script kid ... please.

[QUOTE=turck3;14535501]Either way, I'm not going to argue the virtues of fast access vs control in a GUI with you, neither of us will be swayed, I'm sure.[/QUOTE] This is correct, neither of you will be swayed from your views. Still, peoples views will affect you downloads. Like you said this GUI allows for EVERYTHING to be done, while others don't. I still prefer ASSMod as you can set time and reason from the GUI easily enough without it cluttering your screen (this is the main drawback for your mod on low resolutions). All you need to do is make the GUI just that little bit neater and this would be a very nice thing to use I'm sure.

[b][i][u]Everybody shut the fuck up. This is the MOOCOW thread, not the MOOCOW vs. NewAdmin thread. How'd you like it if turck3 went into NewAdmin and flamed it up?[/u][/i][/b] Anyway. Some people like having flashy-as-fuck GUIs with the spinning firework pinwheels and god knows what else. So. I suggest allowing users to make their own (distributable) GUIs. Shouldn't be too hard, eh?

well if i understand moocow right it has the option for the gui to be a customizable plugin, so if you don't like current GUi either shut up or make a better plugin( correct me if wrong reven). I do believe that the GUI needs a little work. That is why I use chat commands or console commands. I think a New GUI plugin is in order and lets leave it at that.

One thing I may consider for those of you who are not as happy is to create separate paths for "point and click" users. Basically, that would entail right clicking on command names and then from there it would be no more then just selecting who to activate on. That way, you have the option to blast right through it, or to be more careful with your options.

truck3 why aren't you answering me on steam..and hows the video going..is it done yet?

When you release something, you don't say bad stuff about your competition. It's a real life rule as well. In real life commercials they never say bad stuff about other companies. Only generalities... You can say "unlike other admin mods!".

You raise a good point.... Also, video finally got approved: [url]http://revver.com/video/1578808/moocow-admin-mod/[/url] Keep in mind, it was made before I updated the GUI, fixing the gaps.

it cuts off at "you can see im actually falling a bit slowe-"

Since when do we write stuff in derma?

Gah. Damn fraps and it's obscenely uncompressed footage that ends up splitting into separate files, I'll make a new video tomorrow some time. and I'm not quite sure what you mean by that Nevec?

can I suggest a feature A prop protect that makes it so you can't touch world props like doors or special screens build into the map.

That's already present. *You* will be able to, because *you* are a prop admin, but your clients shouldn't be able to.

I tried this on my clan server and it sucked. Worse than anything I have tried before. It clashes with DarkRP / commands.

Think again, if you read the wiki, you'd know about the: command_sequence <new message> setting..... [url]http://moocowadmin.wikispaces.com/Chat+Input[/url] Just pop this into your data/moocow/settings.txt command_sequence ! and all chat commands for MOOCOW will thereafter start with ! Read next time.

Looks nice but a better GUI would make it better. Testing it out on my server. You should try to make this more compatible with a variety of gamemodes.

It's compatible with all sandbox based gamemodes, you just need to configure it slightly differently if the gamemode has chat commands that start with '/'. I will add checks for individual files to ensure that they don't attempt to use a sandbox feature outside of a sandbox gamemode.

Turck, I strongly recommend that if your chat command doesn't match a "moocow" command, just ignore it, or at the least place in console "MOOCOW: <blah> unknown command" It's easy to do, no matter what character you use to monitor. This will prevent any other mod, whether it be admin, gamemode, or whatever, from being affected.

Already did do the unknown command thing (sort of) but I see what you mean, I'll do that. Good idea.

wow my name is moocow what do I get?

A cookie. Look for it 10 years from this time *exactly* and it'll be under your pillow. Enjoy :D

Is anyone else having problems making themselves Owner Rank, because the commands don't work for me :|

As I mentioned in my PM, any difficulties you're having, send them to me in a message on steam, revan168, I'll walk you through it. Nothing is wrong with setaccess (for now :P).

Wasn't this admin mod really easy to use?

ha. I'm kind of new to the whole Server running thing so I still need to learn how to set up this kind of stuff :P
