PlayerTitle [v1.2] - A name and title display module

[Guardian9978]

Thanks link works great.

[Lt.Smith]

Updated to v1.2

Code: [Select]

v1.2
- [ADDED] Added check to see if player was ragdolled/jailed/turned into a melon. Names are hidden during this time to prevent them from showing up at wierd locations.

Now when a player is ragdolled their name won't show up in places where it shouldn't be. It might seem to update a little slowly, but the timer only checks every 4 seconds what the player's status is, to prevent having to sync every half a second. This only works with ULX because it makes use of ulx.getExclusive(). But if you don't have ULX, the timer and checking function won't load anyway, so no problem.

Besides, if you don't have ULX, what are you doing, go download it!

I am using this on my server and it is pretty good addon 

However on play disconnect it seems to crash my server 

[Sc00by22]

Could we make it so when they are dead, It hides their name?

My hat goes off to you Sir...
Great idea and My guys love it...
This will be a permanent part of my server from now on!
Awesome Work

[Sparky]

I want to block this for some usergroups.
What command do I add to deny?

[WildWill]

I'm running this on my server right now and it's very nice indeed. Only one issue that I ask, can you make it so that when people are cloaked the tags are gone?

[Killers2]

Did you ever fix the crash when players disconnect?

[WildWill]

Maybe give it another shot there Killer, this is running fine on my dedicated server.

Nice idea Will. Sorry I didn't think/notice this sooner.
Smith, this shouldn't be too difficult. I've not looked at your code to see where the 'skip adding text/hide text/do nothing if cloaked' code bit would go, but ULX tags on a "ghosted" true tag to the player index. ULX's GetExclusive "ghosted" is also set.
I believe you should be able to add this without requiring the downloader have ULX installed (therefore making it compatible to non-ULX servers)

can you make it so it hides when the user is cloaked? because it pretty much takes away the whole point of cloaking
or if someone could tell me how to modify it?


Thanks,

Man, I haven't checked back here. It already hides when people are ghosted, because it checks exclusive flags if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while since I looked at this.

It's on my to-do list but to be honest I have examinations soon so I'm rather preoccupied. It's nice to see people enjoy the addon though

[Cephalexin]

the player title also shows when spectating someone, would be nice to hide that on a future release

[Vexont]

Could anyone make a new download link? The old one is broken.

Sorry for the epic bump.

LtSmith seems to still visit here occasionally. His profile shows last visit end of August.
Try sending a PM, or see if he has his email listed publicly in his profile.
(I know I can see it, but I'm logged in as admin)

The domain he originally linked to ( www.gmodsauce.com ) still exists and runs an SMF Gmod forum, just seems no files are currently listed. Seems to be going through a rebuild.

I'd be curious if the ULib portions of it still work both with our release, and our latest SVN rewrites.
