sui_scoreboard with UTime and Steam Avatars

[Megiddo]

What's your UTeam config?

WAIT, Nvm lol I fixed it, the owner color was apparently causing it! XD

Hi I've been using this for some time now [I had a different forum name but forgot it] on my sandbox server, but I have recently been jumping between fretta gamemodes and sandbox. The scoreboard conflicts with the custom freta boards, is there some way to have it only open in sandbox mode?

Thank you in advance!

Forgot i answered that years ago.
Used search bar of this thread 'disable' to find it.
The code should still be good.

[krooks]

Great, thanks so much, I was close to fixing it on my own, but had the code wrong

Can we please get a more elaborate answer as to how to restrict the scoreboard to the sandbox gamemode only? Like said it doesn't work in all other gamemodes.

Go into the addons folder, into the SUI scoreboard folder, whatever version you downloaded (utime or no utime) from the first post of this thread, go into the lua folder, go into autorun folder, open sui_scoreboard.lua with a text editor (notepad is fine, another program editor that shows line numbers is better), count 13 lines down, should be a

Code: [Select]

else
and change it to

Code: [Select]

elseif string.lower(GAMEMODE.Name) == "sandbox" then


[Botman]

Yes, I did that, but now the scoreboard doesn't work at all. Have you tested that line?

[krooks]

I actually had the same problem after trying it, I've just been running without the scoreboard the past week

[JamminR]

i've not tested recently. Don't have GMod installed. The time I posted that it worked (was tested), but Gmod has had several updates since.
He may have changed the gamemode table names for case sensitivity, etc.

[krooks]

Thanks for the help even without gmod installed, i will mess with it a little bit and post back if i have any solutions

May try using GM.Name instead of GAMEMODE.Name . Seems looking over the wiki, I found an article explaining a global table (which "Name" would be a part of) gets loaded into GM. http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Internal_gamemode_workings
(Though, later on it also mentions GAMEMODE table.
Megiddo, feel free to instruct me here. Why isn't my suggested line working?

[krooks]

I just gave GM.Name a try, no dice

[JamminR]

I found a function called Gmod.GetGameMode on the wiki. However, even it says the command is redundant as "GAMEMODE.Name" should contain the name.
So, let's see if there is a metatable issue (with Gmod or your server/gamemode), or a screw up in my code example.
Go to your server console, run the following. It should say Sandbox. If it does, means it's probably my syntax someway somehow.

Code: [Select]

lua_run print(GAMEMODE.Name)
If that fails, try

Code: [Select]

lua_run print(GM.Name)
Let me know if either return data, and if so, what they return.

GM is only loaded into the globals if your code is located in the gamemode files, I believe. Otherwise, you need to use GAMEMODE. (If I remember correctly!)
