RD2: Resource Distribution 2

[Zanibar]

[QUOTE=Darkminded]I'm having a similar problem to Sgtjawa. I cannot get this working in singleplayer it just tells me to install Resource Distribution Addon, despite the fact I have RD2 installed. It works perfectly if I join a multiplayer server, just not if I try and play singleplayer.

Sometimes I get the following message when I start a SP server.

ERROR: Hook 'lifesupport_think' Failed: autorun/cl_lifesupport.lua:88: attempt to call global 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)
Removing Hook 'lifesupport_think'

When attempting to place LS objects I get variations of the same error (and the prompt to download the RD Addon).

stools/life_support.lua:74: attempt to index global 'ent' (a nil value)

stools/energysystems.lua:79: attempt to index global 'ent' (a nil value)

I have the following addons: LS2,RD2,PHX, Adv Duplicator, CDS, Empires Imperial models, gmgd resources, stargate, wraithdart, wire, wire model pack 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm longing to spend a couple of hours making something without being randomly nuked.[/QUOTE]
The folder with the text file called "info" right inside of it MUST be the first folder for that mod. Gmod addons most of the time require a info.txt to work properly.
If that doesn't fix it, you need to a complete reinstall of Gmod, not the "Delete Local Content".

Are you having this problem on the beta or the current version?
Because it seems like for some reasons some of the default functions in garrysmod don't seem to be working for you. This can be caused by either a faulty installation, or possibly because of the Beta to (not sure about this though). If you don't have the beta then delete all local content related to Garrysmod (like the person above me said) and also make sure you redownload the garrysmod GCF.

[b]Edit:[/b]

Got any problems(Gmod 2007)?
Interested in knowing what's coming next?
Got any suggestions?

Post them in here (Tad will most likely prefer this)

I had run into the same problem a few minutes ago (after installing LS2 and RD2 on my new PC). I discovered that i had a older version of LS, after removing this it worked. Im probaly talking a load of **** but i think it was because the LS folder was over running the LS2 and couldnt find RD to go with it. If people get the same problem check the folders you have, hope iv helped alittle.

[J0hAnN48]

i got almost the sam problem i also get the "need rd" thing, and i have checked for older version too, i can't seem to find the answer nowhere, no one can help me, anyone know a addon/mod that can effect LS/RD?
Also i got RD 2 and LS 2

[Moooseman]

Do you mean you have both LS/RD and LS2/RD2?

[J0hAnN48]

no I got RD 2 and LS 2, just anly didn't write a 2 before them, but i anyone answer my question?

[QUOTE=gilly_54]1. Download TortoiseSVN from here: [url]http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/[/url]
2. Install it
3. Go to your addons folder and create a folder called lifesupport(if you want to use svn for lifesupport 2 for example)
4. Right click on the folder you created and select SVN Checkout
5. Paste the SVN link in the main post above, into the "URL Repository" box
6. Let the program download all the files
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

You're done, when the team releases an update, just right click on your folder and select SVN Update.[/QUOTE]
Where do you find the svn link

And do you know what I would name a folder if I wanted to use the spacebuild model packs that just came out recently
EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to post this here

[brwarner]

I tried posting this in the LS2 forum but no one responded so maybe it's a RD2 problem.

Whenever I duplicate or adv. duplicate a vehicle, it can no longer be linked to any RD2 entities. I get the error during duplication that one or more of the entities are not valid RD2 entities.

[Shadow25]

Is this completely non-functional with the 2007 Beta, or am I doing something wrong?

With the most recent SVN updates for LS2, RD2, and SB2, I'm still getting errors all over the place. A bunch of init errors when I start up, and a massive framerate drop (due to something about an undefined shader) whenever I look at a lifesupport entity. The Link Tool is broken and lacking it's language entries. It's all a mess.

The beta is the only version of Gmod that works for me right now (my computer has decided to hate the older Source engine), so I'm really missing Life Support and Spacebuild. Is there any work being done to fix it up for the beta?

There is being worked on, but it probably won't be released before the beta gets released. I don't know 100% what the status of those fixes are, but I know there is being worked on (dev svn)

An idea for RD3 when the time comes:

For the idea of having resources that are not "liquid through a hose", perhaps there could be something along the lines of generaters that fill barrels or something similar with some type of physical objects and the barrels need to be transported to the components that use the resources. This is just a rough idea and I don't know if anyone else has come up with something better but I thought I'd just throw it out there and see what you guys think.

[tad2020]

[QUOTE=poco87]An idea for RD3 when the time comes:

That was the idea. Since RD2 works by sharing a single table between all liked ents, you would be able to define any type of resource you like as long as you provide the required Make/Merge/Split/Remove functions for the network to work. It would even be possible to make a hub based computer network for communication.

[Bagreal]

I have installed the mod and can spawn everything, only problem is when I try and link things there is no visible link even though it says there is, even with different widths and material/colour. As it's not linking properly I can't gather any resources ect. Anyone know a fix? Also don't have any mods that conflict with this., only a few model ones, smart snap and ls2.

Edit: Turns out I can gather resources, but still no visible wire and the amount that a storage device has is not showing. staying at 0 when targeted, can only see if it contains anything with a wire screen.

[Bagreal]

Any help yet? Still have this problem.

[tad2020]

[QUOTE=Bagreal]Any help yet? Still have this problem.[/QUOTE]

Do you have old version of: wire, advdupe, rd1?

[Bagreal]

I have rd2, no advanced dupe, but I think I might have the old wire, i'll see if removing that helps.

[Killer_Steel]

just update it, and remove the svn folders in it, and get the newer wire svn, THEN you'll be in buisness.

Hey Tad, are you taking suggestions for this? Don't worry, I've only got a few ideas :)

Um, sure, I guess. I haven't been working on anything recently, too busy, hoping next week is quieter.

With the new version, the link tool now causes a large FPS drop for each link made.

The effect is cumulative, too. I made 3 links, my FPS dropped to 5.

I know, I'm fixing it. Turning the beams off will help (no, i don't remember what the command was).

[QUOTE=tad2020]I know, I'm fixing it. Turning the beams off will help (no, i don't remember what the command was).[/QUOTE]

I can't. The link tool doesn't have any settings anymore, and I just get that tool_blah_0 thing as the tool description.

[jakkaru]

I' having the same problem with the link too.
The link is invisible and it has no settings.
Each link cause the game to get slower and slower.
Everything else seems to work though.

Got this from the console as I load my game up. I've been able to fix it by deleting the specified lines but there is no lifesupport tab as my Lua skills do not go that far. If you don't delete the lines then nothing shows up in the menus for the STools.

Just tested my "Hacky" fix on the spacebuild gamemode and it works but they are not on the Lifesupport tab. They are in sections in the tools menu.

I didn't get a menu for the link tool at first but then I restarted after I deleted some lines that came up with errors it came up fine. I am not sure whether it was restarting Gmod that solved it or the bit of editing I did.

The invisible links it true for me to some extent because when I use more than one link the links randomly disappear and reappear as I move around. When this happens I get

 
CMaterial::DrawElements: No bound shader 

spammed into console at an incredible rate.

INFO!? You don't have the info.txt file in the first folder of the addon! If it isn't there, everything gets fucked over! Redownload it, and get the SVN!

That is something different. This is something in an Lua script getting information about something else. Nothing to do with Info.txt

[Killer_Steel]

Have you tried getting a new SVN version of life support and resource destribution?
