UTeam -- now integrated with ULX SVN!

[Megiddo]

Due to popular demand, we decided to integrate UTeam into ULX. Currently you'll need to configure it by hand (just like the original UTeam), but I'm sure that will change when Stickly has enough time to add it to XGUI.

Configuration is now done through your standard ULib groups.txt file, like so:

Code: [Select]

"superadmin"
{
"allow"
{
<list_of_allows>
}
"inherit_from" "admin"
"team"
{
"name" "TheChosenOnes"
"color_red" 255
"color_blue" 0
"color_green" 0
"model" "alyx"
"health" 125
}
}
Only name and color are required, all other fields are optional. For model you can specify the short model names listed here, or you can specify the full path of a model. You can specify any name that has a corresponding "set" function for it on the player. For example, I specify health because there's a SetHealth function on the player, the health will be set to 125 every time the player spawns.

A quick list of other fields you can use (case is important):
duckSpeed
stepSize
unDuckSpeed
armor
crouchedWalkSpeed
deaths
frags
jumpPower
maxSpeed
runSpeed
walkSpeed

Let me know if something isn't working quite right or if there's some feature you'd like here.

Love it! Nice work.

[Megiddo]

Love it! Nice work.

Nice sig

[jay209015]

Haha, couldn't pass up the opportunity for the sig

[JamminR]

Good job!
SPBogie is quiet in these parts lately. Glad that his code ideas still fit in so well with Ulysses core.
(We miss you spbogie!)

Awesome, I love it! But I looked at the code, and I think you left out the ability to set the team color alpha (transparency). The original UTeam allowed this.

This line:

Code: [Select]

local team_color = Color( tonumber( group_data.team.color_red ) or 255, tonumber( group_data.team.color_green ) or 255, tonumber( group_data.team.color_blue ) or 255 )

Should be like this:

Code: [Select]

local team_color = Color( tonumber( group_data.team.color_red ) or 255, tonumber( group_data.team.color_green ) or 255, tonumber( group_data.team.color_blue ) or 255, tonumber( group_data.team.color_alpha ) or 255 )


[Megiddo]

I did that on purpose because I haven't seen any place alpha is used. Have you?

[RynO-SauruS]

I guess I can't immediately see anywhere it's actually used, I didn't think about it. Whether to add alpha or not is up to you.


Edit: I tried to add this to the team section in the superadmin group in groups.txt, to set my armor:

Code: [Select]

"armor" 100

And all my team stuff is working fine except it's not setting my armor, could you try testing that yourself?

Here's my entire groups.txt (I'm a superadmin):

[Megiddo]

Oops, was accidentally making the model option required. Sorry 'bout that, should be fixed now. Also, you don't have to set health to 100 in each, since that's the default.

[RynO-SauruS]

Thanks. I'll try it again tomorrow.

[Buggzie]

Fix that please... Its meant to be green like the original uteam but now its red...

Code: [Select]

"team"
{
"name" "Founders"
"color_red" "0"
"color_green" "255"
"color_blue" "0"
"health" "100"
"armor" "0"
}
EDIT: Its meant to be the same colour as uteam group.

[Megiddo]

You have it set to green and it's green. I don't see what the problem is?

[JamminR]

Megiddo, I think he means the title...at least the image I'm looking at, it appears red.
Not the eyefinity background - it does indeed appear green.
(Buggzie, if you do mean the background for Eyefinity, you may wish to 1) Check your monitor (Have someone else look and see, if it's showing green as red, something is mixed up) or 2) see a Dr and discuss colorblindness.)
According to the image you posted.
Title = red
Founder background = green

[someone920]

He's talking about the GMod logo, in the UTeam, it used to be whatever the highest rank color was. In that image, the highst rank color is green, but now the GMod logo isn't green.

EDIT: And do we have to remove the old UTeam files or can we keep those instead of using this version of groups?

[DiscoBiscuit]

How do you specify what order that they will be listed in? Or is it the same as they are listed in groups.txt?
