Manual Transmission

Ignore the ugly debugging text; working on sorting out a HUD for everything at the moment. I didn't show it in the video but you can stall/downshift improperly resulting in a stop or jolt. The system is pretty bare-bone and is more of a proof of concept type thing for future use. And yes, I did miss 5th gear 3 times.

I'm trying to implement it to an SNPC now. What was the method you used to get them to move from point to point? I'm doing this

	self:SetLastPosition(pos)
	self:SetSchedule(SCHED_FORCED_GO_RUN)

With pos being the next point but you can see how he pauses from point to point.

I ran into problems with this if you call it too fast. They'll spaz out and not move if you call it too quickly and if you don't call it fast enough then the movement isn't that smooth. Might work better with your system but finding a happy medium for calling speed proved to be annoying for me.

I ran into trouble with the run command forcing the npc to stop whatever it is doing (like running), and then run. This means that it isn't easy to make the npc run along a list of nodes, since the npc will stop at each one.

Is it just me, or is

self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
if phys and phys:IsValid() then phys:Wake() end

completely counter-productive?
I mean, if your vphysics based entity doesn't have a valid physics object, it's completely useless.
Thus pussyfooting around the issue is shooting yourself in the foot when you could be spewing informative errors like a fountain to help you debug it.
I only ask because I've been violently tearing DarkRP apart in my spare time in an attempt to make it slightly less stupid and nearly every single entity has those three lines which got me thinking about the whole issue while I ripping them out:
Why do people seem to be in the habit of silently ignoring abnormal conditions once they've detected them?

Hi by the way. Sorry I've been absent for so long. University and all that.

I just copied that over from the default GMod entities., thinking it was necessary.

May I ask what exactly you're changing? Feel free to send me an SVN patch when you're done.

You seem to have also copied across the legacy self.Entity syntax, which was from when Garry hadn't worked out how to metatable his userdata and you had a separate table from the entity to store stuff.
self.Entity == self now and has done for years, stop using it.

Mainly I'm just rewriting the bits that have annoyed me while messing about with Lua on a friend's server.
So far that's been nearly all his custom enhancements, the money printer system and the shipment system + relevent commands.
I also removed the hunger, disaster, shitting and drugs systems and a good deal of convars because they were annoying and taking up space they didn't need to.
I don't think a patch would be appropriate given that this is a) a fairly old version and b) I've killed a ton of features which some people supposedly enjoy, but I could probably send you a copy when I get bored of working on it, if you want to cherrypick bits out.

I made a derivative of this:

//=========================================================
// > Forced_Go (Used for debug only)
//=========================================================
AI_DEFINE_SCHEDULE
(
	SCHED_FORCED_GO_RUN,

	"	Tasks"
	"		TASK_SET_TOLERANCE_DISTANCE		48"
	"		TASK_SET_ROUTE_SEARCH_TIME		3"	// Spend 3 seconds trying to build a path if stuck
	"		TASK_GET_PATH_TO_LASTPOSITION	0"
	"		TASK_RUN_PATH					0"
	"		TASK_WAIT_FOR_MOVEMENT			0"
	""
	"	Interrupts"
);

with tolerance and route search time modified.

honestly, the npc's have trouble going to the path most of the time which is why I started working on that one player controller.

Is it entity? It seems you made a script for that vehicle.

It's just a normal prop_vehicle_jeep from your average vehicle pack on garrysmod.org; I didn't edit anything in the vehicle script.

Edit:

I'll post another video with some improper shifting so you can see without a doubt it's me deciding when to gear up or down, not the vehicle script.

Basically my old smf and mybb addon, but I've start/completed the following.

No more modding forum tables.
Improved linking accounts.
Started xenforo support.
Add client tab for information on forum account name, user group, and posts.
Started vgui work over again.
Improved support for forum controlled server admin.
Prefix var for custom prefixes forced by web hosts.
In-game forum personal messages.
Other stuff I can't think off.

[Spencer Sharkey]

Almost kind of useless with Login Thru Steam able to be used on any website - but it is cool nonetheless especially with the added features it has.

Especially because it'll work with any server and not some proprietary bullshit.

I give you props :>

Was checking to to see if their was an update to mybb. It turns out they've become a victim to a deface.



Turns out the deface page has cloudflare. Looks like the "hackers" don't want their site to go down? That's a laugh.

Why not use glon instead of having to use string.Explode?

[Aide]

local function ImportFile(filename)
	local contents = glon.decode(file.Read(filename)) or {}
	local output = {}
	local buffer = {}
	for k, v in pairs(contents) do
		buffer[#buffer + 1] = { ent = v.ent, pos = v.pos }
		table.Add(output, buffer)
	end
	return output
end

Thinking something like this. No need to use 2 loops and 2 string.Explodes. If it's gonna end up being a table save it as a table using glon.

Never really ever used glon. Good idea.

local function ImportFile(filename)    
local contents = glon.decode(file.Read(filename)) or {}    
local output = {}    
local buffer = {}    
for k, v in pairs(contents) do        
   buffer = { ent = v.ent, pos = v.pos }       
   table.Add(output, buffer)  
   buffer = {}  
end    
return output
end

Yes, but if your community doesn't focus on just source games (they do minecraft for example) then using the Steam developer API would be stupid.

Working on a new Dataline between Arduino and Garrysmod
.. damn i need a Serial-Module for gmod.. this TCP-Com program is a 14 days trial version -.-

ohai
the serial connection can handle more.. but im using 9600 BAUD rate..
thats to slow :P

[LEETNOOB]

Some gameplay from that gamemode called 'Project 5' that I've been working on.

Edit: bonus.

[Feihc]

Yay prediction! Now only if I could put these values to use!

[gamerpaddy]

New Protocol, works better

how it works?
Here is an Example

"sab"

first char is mode
s = set value
m = set mode

second is PORT
A = 3
B = 4
C=5
D=6
...
...
K=13

and third char is Value
A= LOW
B = HIGH

(Arduino return every 10Milliseconds a string,"sa,A5,A4,A3,A2,A1,ea,sd,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,D8, D9,D10,D 11,D12,D13,se")

Yeah prepare a new thread - thanks for reminding me so I can buttwhip the people over at the programming WAYWO too.
