game.ConsoleCommand blocked, and MOTD issue
« on: January 19, 2008, 12:43:42 PM »
Hi all,

I've noticed since the new Garrysmod update, I can't execute certain commands on players that join my server... e.g. I can execute r_dynamic 0 on my clients to turn off their dynamic lighting, but cetain other commands just give me the error "game.ConsoleCommand bocked". I remember that when ULX v3.20 came out, it worked around these blocks that garry implemented. Is there anything we can do now?

Also, I'm having a problem with the MOTD's scrollbar. It's background appears checkered pink -- but the scrollbar itself is fine. Here's a picture to demonstrate:



As you can see, it's quite an eye sore!  :P I'm using SVN revision 130.

-Thanks

The scrollbar appears checkered pink for me for a moment as well, but then goes normal. That scrollbar is part of an element written by garry, so nothing we can do about it. About the concommand blocked... garry changed how we dodged his blocks to be significantly more complicated now. We're still deciding exactly what we want to do.

Now why would garry screw with that? Oh well, its obvious he doesn't care about the communities' creations -- whether it be the most used admin system, or the most downloaded map on gmod.org he breaks it reguardless.

Maybe a simple work around would be just to draw the are behind the scrollbar as a solid color?

Can't draw behind it, it's all one element. It may be something the new engine brought up instead of something garry changed... as much as we like to, we can't blame garry for everything. ;)
