Utime -- Show how long your players have been connected this session and total

[Dazzuh]

It seems to be happening to people who join for the first time, here's what I get in clientside_errors.txt

Code: [Select]

controlpanel.Get() - Error creating a ControlPanel!
You're calling this function too early! Call it in a hook!
And this is the block I changed, starting on line 286 of cl_utime.lua

Code: [Select]

function resetCvars()
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidecolor_r", "40" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidecolor_g", "40" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidecolor_b", "40" )
   
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidetext_r", "255" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidetext_g", "255" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_outsidetext_b", "255" )
   
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidecolor_r", "250" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidecolor_g", "250" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidecolor_b", "245" )
   
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidetext_r", "0" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidetext_g", "0" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_insidetext_b", "0" )
   
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_pos_x", "1" )
RunConsoleCommand( "utime_pos_y", "90" )
buildCP( controlpanel.Get( "Utime" ) )
end
concommand.Add( "utime_reset", resetCvars )
Just the default color and position. Is this the wrong place to change such things?

Was there ever a fix for this?
Whenever people join my server they get this error the first time, losing allot of players due to it yet it is a useful plugin.

[Megiddo]

Yes, that was fixed in January.

[SaintSin]

Players are still getting the Too Many Lua Errors crash on their first connection. Was there any fix for this? I haven't found one yet.

Another issue is the 4 days changing to 1 week and 4 days. Any fixes?

[Megiddo]

Both of those were fixed in January... please update.

This is what I got after restarting the server and joining for the first time, on the 2nd join I did not get any errors.




Another thing: Can I view the player time from someone without having to look at him? and how can I disable the hud part clientside?

Also, is it possible to make the time sync over multiple servers?

[drake90001]

Yes, I too would like to know how to check my members time without having them in game.

[Mors Quaedam]

You could always code a PHP interface and use the MySQL addon for this

[Freedom]

Is it possible to disable the ability for players to view another player's time by placing their cursor on them. I currently run a TTT server and being able to see through the disguiser with Utime is undesirable.

[Megiddo]

Not possible in current UTime. You'd need to read from the database yourself (it's a fairly simple format).

No, and I can't think of any way I could support that, either.

Hey I'm loving this addon. I'm using it for a TTT server but I have one issue with it and I was wondering if anyone could help me fix it. Whenever you hover over someone it shows their time played but the problem is when a traitor is disguised if you hover over them it still shows their name and time played so it kind a ruins the whole purpose of the disguise. I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me with this. I know it may be something hard to fix but I would love it if someone could find a way to fix this.

I'm actually not familiar with the rules of TTT, and the quick introduction to TTT I found here doesn't seem to explain why traitors would need to keep their name secret. Could you explain why their name needs to stay secret? (I'm assuming traitors look just like innocents?)

[Decicus]

A disguiser hides their name so when someone aims at them, nothing shows up at all (normally it would show name, how healthy you are and such).

So when they're disguised, letting people see their name makes the Disguiser useless.

[JamminR]

So, let me get this straight.
NOT using UTime...
If I'm playing TTT, and I aim at someone, who isn't disguised, I get name/health.
But if they're in disguise, I don't get name/health?
Is that right?

[Megiddo]

Hmm, since TTT is included with gmod by default, I'll look into it, but it may be too specific for me to address in UTime.

Yes a traitor looks exactly like an innocent and whenever they use a disguiser it hides their name so when they are shooting no one knows who it is but with Utime it shows their name so it ruins the disguiser and everyone can still see their name. Thank you for trying to help
