Minor update: fixed some of the rotation functions not working since parts of that were rewritten, latest version is 1.41.
Are there any PA tutorials and/or information? The wiki for PA is incomplete.

It'll be incomplete for a while, but I'm adding to it every day so it should grow pretty quickly.
Need to keep this thread alive, good tools Wenli, make building much faster.
Just downloaded this today and it works great on single player but unfortunately I can't get it to work on multiplayer servers.

These tools are server-side, so make sure the server you're on has them installed as well.
Just to let you guys know, these tools are still in development. There are recent updates to both Precision Alignment and Physgun Build Mode, so update the install on your servers if you aren't already using SVN. PA's been through several revisions in the last couple of weeks, mostly with feature additions. Up to 1.44 now!
can anyone make a tutorial for Precision Alignment, supposedly im really stupid and I can't figure it out. Even after reading peoples instructions on the thread, I just really need a visual demonstration.
Does the physgun build mode work on servers that don't have it installed?

I'm making a tutorial right this moment, so I'll update the thread when that's done. Don't know how long editing will take, and it's just the first in the series, but hopefully it'll help get people familiar with using PA and start building contraptions with it.
I put it addons and nothing happened...I used the SVN
help?

Check your folder structure to make sure everything got put in the right directory. It should look like this:
garrysmod\garrysmod\addons\Wenlis Tools\lua\
Inside the Wenlis Tools folder you should also find info.txt.
So the first PA tutorial is up! It took ages to encode/upload, but at least it's done. It's around 20 mins in two 10-min parts.

Nice tutorial, It's easy to understand and nicely made. :)
[QUOTE=Grocel;24092128]Nice tutorial, It's easy to understand and nicely made. :)[/QUOTE]
Thanks! I've never made vids like this before but I've taught a lot of players so I think that helped a lot.
I've been trying to decide exactly what to do in the next tutorial, but I think rotating props would probably be best since it doesn't rely too much on using constructs and it's immediately applicable.
Wow, that tutorial was very nice, thanks.
Vey nice, and very useful!
Ok... I have a little, annoying problem... well not so little and very annoying! Not only that the phys build mode doesn't work (the menu is there but it doesn't work no matter what options I choose nor if its enabled or disabled!)AND not only that, but it actually snaps my player movements to grid which is ALFULY annoying!

Sounds like a weird problem, but you're going to need to provide more details or I can't help.
Are you doing this in single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer, are you sure the server has it installed?
When does it snap your player movements? Do you have it enabled when you do that? Are you left clicking? Describe exactly what you're doing, step by step, and what happens. Also please let me know if there are any errors that pop up in the console.
I start up the game and play online some, trying to get it working... nothing, neither is the build mode doing what it was promised (gmod 9 rotation, auto freeze/sleep etc. no matter which preset or tampered settings I put on it). I decide it must be that the server doesn't have it, thus I am not allowed to use it. I go onto single player to find out this:
Not only that the above issue is the same, but now when I moved in any direction it will constantly make small "corrections" and move me back a small amount, which I can only call snapping to grid!
If build mode can be used online if its on server side then would you please be so kind as to point me to servers who use it.
EDIT:
I tried deleting the settings > presets > phys gun build mode folder. Fixed nothing (even the menu is still there!). Deleted the tools that were in the download folder (the PA and ballsocet things). Seems to have fixed it... now I am double disapointed! :(
EDIT 2:
Installing the SVN version seems to have fixed the problem with the snapping. I shall now install the phys gun build mode and see if theres any problems!
EDIT 3:
It now works perfectly... strangely the garrysmod.org download was the source of the problems
Can we have a seperate link for the Build Mode? You know, the thing that lets you 'Sleep' instead of Freeze with the other fancy stuff :3:?

Uh, sorry but I think most tools are serverside.
Glad to hear you got it working, although I'm a little confused about the gmod.org download since it contains the same lua files as the svn. Are you sure you installed it in the right place? It probably doesn't matter much any more, but you can tell if physgun build mode is working because it'll always tell you it's enabled when you switch it on.
If you look on the [url=http://sourceforge.net/userapps/mediawiki/wenli/index.php?title=Physgun_Build_Mode]wiki page[/url], right at the top it tells you everything you need to know, including how to tell whether it's enabled or not.
[QUOTE=Black-Ice;24395285]Can we have a seperate link for the Build Mode? You know, the thing that lets you 'Sleep' instead of Freeze with the other fancy stuff :3:?[/quote]
Not sure what you mean... all of the tools are in the download. If you need to take out any of the tools just delete the files, although why would you want to do that?
I find it confusing to use, even with the tutorials.
Apologies, I'm just a bit stupid :saddowns:

You mean you find physgun build mode confusing to use? I guess I could make a tutorial for that if it's really needed.
No just the other things, I just want the physgun build mode :v:

What's the path of your Wenlis Tools\info.txt? Open up the folder with info.txt and paste the path here, it should look something like this:
Steam\steamapps\Email\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons\Wenlis Tools\info.txt
