As some of my contacts on Steam Friends would say it; “Long time, no see”. Long time indeed! Two full weeks without blog posts, but I’ve found some useful stuff to put on here
To start off, GMod Nation, for which I provide a build server, has added a blog. Mutank contacted me not long after and gave me an account to post stuff on there. I’m still wondering what exactly to post on there, but we’ll see.
Now, about CheesyVote. Because I can’t come up with a better name, I just called my new addon CheesyVote. Basically, it brings L4D style voting to Garry’s Mod. When the addon has been installed on a server, players can kick and ban each other, cleanup the map and switch the sbox_noclip convar. I started out with this picture kindly provided by AcidSoldier:
Unfortunately he forgot that I also needed the cross, so I had to take my own picture after all. I’m testing it on my build server at the moment and its current implementation looks like this :3:
Pretty cool, amirite? You’ll hopefully see a news post on garrysmod.com by tonight, so look out if you like it and give it a try on the server!
ColtoM, one of my friends just sent me this video. Honestly, I’ve never laughed so hard when watching a video ever . You’ve probably already seen it though. Well, just watch it again :3.
Because so many people whined and I would get a bad reputation I just added some of the most wanted features in the last update I’m gonna do for NewAdmin. The full changelog includes:
Fixed (potential) exploits
Per entity restriction for every class
Per weapon restriction for every class
Ranks are not case sensitive anymore
Weapons are no longer restricted for guests by default
Out of the box compatibility with ASSMod
DarkRP commands are not blocked anymore
You can download it here if anyone still wants NewAdmin. Lol :3.
Anyway, I’ve worked on my *cough* new project: ScriptDumper. It’s basically a pastebin ripoff, but more awesome. You can access it here for now. Some of the things I want do add to it are:
Voting for snippets so they show up on the popular snippets page
Account creation for managing your scripts and it functions as a portfolio
Better syntax highlighting
It’s also the first website I’m going to try Google Adsense on. Don’t worry, it’s not annoying at all and it makes me money .
Oh and I’ve set up some thumb rules for my future projects:
There is no deadline. It’s done when it’s good.
It’s good when it has everything I want and bug free
It’s bug free when I can use it for a week without problems without modifying the code
I’m also going to work on a RSS feed for this blog!
Unfortunately not much progress yet at all, since it’s a busy week at school I have however discovered an exciting new programming language, which even you can learn. That is, if you’re not into programming yet. It’s called Small Basic and its syntax is very much like good ol’ Visual Basic, only .NET like:
TextWindow.WriteLine( "Hi!" )
TextWindow.WriteLine( "Whats your name?" )
Name = TextWindow.Read()
TextWindow.Clear()
TextWindow.WriteLine( "Hi " + Name + "!" )
Being familiar with Visual Basic, C# and C++ I however do have to say that it teaches you horrible programming habits. Some of the worst are:
No initialization of variables like script languages
The equal operator (=) is the same as the assign operator (=)
Its uses are very limited (You can’t even create forms, only graphics)
Nonetheless something exciting you can try out when you’re bored ! Go try it out here!
Go work on GM_Aperture, I don’t see any labs yet D:
Yes yes, I know. Tomorrow I will probably map the fire lab!
As always, stay tuned for my always delayed work :3
