I get an error on my server when someone pulls out the speaker tool. My server prints this: "KeyValues error: RecrusiveloadFromBuffer: got EOF instead of keyname in file models.Chipsticks_PCMod_Models/Speakers/standard mdlkeyvalue, (*prop_data*), and ends up crashing it.

Anyone got any advice?

[Chipstik]

:O My model!

My bad.

I don't know why it's giving that error. Are you running the latest version?

Yea I just downloaded. Come to think of it... I was getting the same error with the other speaker model on the last version too.

Wow... I go at around lunch and get back around 9, and the whole page gets filled... Sorry GMT, I want your brain too. x3.

Valeour, you're turning into some kind of...ZOMBIE! Look out thomas, he's coming for you next! xD

[mbainrot]

Thanks for the SVN :), I'll continue testing and pushing it to the limits so we can diffinitly say x number of (insert device name here) will run fine

Also I tried making my own router (48 porter :), seems like the network protocol doesn't like 48 ports :|, it also doesn't like for loops ( i was looking at source coding thinking... wtf? why not use a foor loop, now I know why xD)

Anyways keep up the brilliant work, you've done what many fail to do, that is, create good addons, which are popular and well supported :)

[implaying8]

Nice. You should add a "Switch"! Not the light switch type, but the network type (router ports-ports=switch) Basically, it's just a splitter.

[leader1337]

Heres a bug. I'm pretty sure when i have this on my server you can move the doors arouns with the phys gun. Sorry jsut tested and that wasn't it. If you have any help then please tell me.

[Coona]

For all the times I've wanted to say it:

[mbainrot]

@implaying8 +agree :), add fibre ports as to speed up data transit

Latest SVN network config as follows
PC --- (network) -- router -- (fibre) -- backbone -- (fibre) -- router -- (network) -- PC

Neither PC can ping nor see each other :|
Config:

PC -- (network) -- router -- (fibre) -- router -- (network) -- PC
works fine :)

Cheers :D

I'm sorry for this, I'm being really retarded and I know it. Can someone quickly explain how I would have to set up computers to have them chat?

And also what the hell a "Server" Computer Tower is actually used for? I'm incredibly confused.

Also how do you connect speakers? It keep saying No ports.

We are aware of this. for now you can use Wireless to connect more then 2 routers

A server is just that, a server. It hosts the Chat Server (PCMod1's gchat) and a Printer Sharing server which may not be completed yet

The network protocol is specifically programmed to only work with our routers by name and by port connections. You need to edit the router driver and serverside networking stuff to add support for your router

ok sry about that, i thought the awareness of router issues was the IP one not the unable to route one, ta for that

edit:
I'll be putting up source code for a KVM switch :D soonish

edit2:
here it is, it kinda works (like it cab switch between screens, but won't detect changes in the screen, (e.g. server control panel, sometimes it won't update the object, but it usually does update whats running (like whether its notepad or my computer or what ever)
note the comments for the KVM are wrong, it only switches video at this time :) although aslong as the server/desktop has a keyboard it will work anyway)

I want brains so i can be smart! :D

Also, I had an idea about the printing without saving thing, can you do something like, when you press print, it checks if the file is saved or not, if it's not saved, it saves the text file as temp.txt, prints it off, then after it's printed, it deletes the temp.txt.

I dunno if i explained that well, but that seems like it'd be able to work.

[mbainrot]

@Valeour, its fine :) but thats a good idea

building off that, instead of deleting it, why not override it?

edit: my implementation
File: lua/pcmod/ssdevices/dev_win_notepad.lua
Starting Line: 94
BEFORE

	if (btn == "btnPrint") then
		self:RunProgCommand( "notepad", "print" )
		// self:SubmitCommand( "os_command", "sys_print", 
	end

AFTER

	if (btn == "btnPrint") then
		fn = "temp.txt" // New
		self:SubmitContent( fn ) // New
		self:RunProgCommand( "notepad", "print" )
		// self:SubmitCommand( "os_command", "sys_print", 
	end

Result? It works, and works well :), you can make continuous changes without adverse effect :)

edit 3: (forgot the explanation :))
Basically the first two functions are a rip off of the "btnSave" code, it saves the current document as "temp.txt" and then resumes normal printing :)

Alright, how the hell do you use Chatserv?

I keep trying to connect to my damn server running chathost and it just hangs at "waiting for response"

Even if I restart the damn computer and go back to the program, it still says "waiting for response" and I can't do anything.

[Valeour]

Instead of restarting the in-game computer, why don't you come back to this thread, start from page one, use the eyes on your face, and READ THE THREAD.

If you are going to be pasting it back on the same GMOD server anyway then you can use the HD Copier which will save hard drives to the servers data folder, then after pasting you can paste the hard drive to it

So let's see if i got it right..
Using the hd copier you can copy and paste hds correctly, alright

So if you save it using the swep on a server it should keep it in that particular server.. but that means I simply have to use the swep and store a computer's hd, and the next time i connect and use the tool to give myself the swep, the HD will still be memorized there?

First, ubercool mod :P
Just a fast thing: Is possible to make the I/O devices inputs&outputs renameable? (like "Light Switch" instead of "1" etc.)

Yep. There was a serverside error with the swep, but it should still save ok. It's fixed in next update anyhow.

You cannot rename your iodevices ingame, but if you are the server hoster / playing single player, you can change them in the sh_config.lua file in pcmod/lua/pcmod/.

Also, there is a tutorial collection (small right now) at this url:

Sorry to bug again ( :( ), but i still have no idea where to put the music files. The PCMOD reads the titles i put in the CFG, but no music streams out of it. Any ideas?

[thomasfn]

Your music should be in:

steamapps\<username>\garrysmod\garrysmod\sound\music\BLAH.mp3

Your config music entry should look like this:

{ "music/BLAH.mp3", "My Song Name" }

This is defiently not compatible with DarkRP what so ever, other people off my server are unable to access many DarkRP functions, such as the scoreboard, F4 and other functions, it basically screws up DarkRP completely, !pcbuy is un usuable and it doesn't fix itself unless, for some reason, i spawn a PCmod entity, i have to spawn a monitor and tell clients to press E on it for them to beable to play on the server. Sucks.

Don't start trolling at me, telling me to read the thread, i have, and i've applied this new DarkRP patch. The only thing it fixed was the comptech class in my view, he was unvotable and unplayable and now he is, but i'm not sure if it just me or if no one's applied this to there DarkRP server yet it messes up DarkRP's functions completely, i also quite frequently get errors when whoever the comptech is starts doing well, any thing to do with PCmod but i'll have to look into that, but for now im either trying the SVN or giving up on this.

I try to add in my custom music, but the whole mod just breaks down on me... just add the lines for my music, and suddenly, the whole mod stop working on me when I launch it.

[thomasfn]

@darkedone02: Check your console for any Lua errors. Chances are you missed a comma or something.

@Shadow_Hedgehog: Same as dark, are there any Lua errors at all? Serverside especially. Could you PM me the IP address of your server so I can join and check it out?

I don't think that's actually possible... Unless you actually took a screenshot and somehow printed it in html on the page... but then everyone else would need that screenshot to see it... I don't think it's possible.

Does anyone use this with cakescript? It doesn't work on my server and i was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem!

Thanks!

I haven't made a plugin for cakescript, simple because I have never played/looked at code for cakescript and I have no idea how it works. If an experienced Lua coder/cakescript genius wants to make a plugin, I'll be sure to include it in the svn/release.
