Player Chat Tags [2.58v]

Where do i put the folder in the addons?

[JSHuiting]

I'm using the automatic version and I'm set as Owner and my Friends are Admins. However everyone turns unassigned in chat and in the scoreboard.  Am i missing something or do i need to assign everyone separately?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you are using RGB colour codes, why are there 4 numbers?

The fourth value is transparency or alpha. ( RGBA )

Now for that ever reason, ulx forums has completely stopped sending me emails of when people reply to my addons. So I thought it was to the "cool down" point where people stop asking questions... I'll try to see what's up with that.

You have been very helpful around the ulx forums. I can say personally on behalf of everyone that you're a widely respected person here. Thanks for the assistance.

As said above by Hellfox.
1,2,3,4
R-ed, G-reen, B-lue, Transparent

Have you set up the teams in the groups tab in ulx?
Reminder: Teams are different from groups.

You put the folder in the addons folder..?

Is there anyway instead of having it put: Owner| name Is there a way it could be [Owner] Name? and this also applies to the joining part of server, could it say that instead of just [Server] Name joined the server! To be [Server] [Owner] Name joined the server!?

-Thanks ahead of time!

Yeah, just look at the code, you could most likely do it yourself really easily, or maybe ask around. I've got too many things to do now adays than worry about garry's mod, lua, or ulx in that matter. Sorry about my somewhat disappointing post.

This is a common error i get on the server using the manage_chat_tags

 [ERROR] addons/manage_chat_tags/lua/autorun/client/cl_tag.lua:20: attempt to call method 'IsUserGroup' (a nil value)
  1. fn - addons/manage_chat_tags/lua/autorun/client/cl_tag.lua:20

[JamminR]

That's somewhat disturbing, as IsUserGroup is a default Gmod command.
Any other errors during server startup or join?

[midg3tjake]

when people join they sometimes get the error and every now and then during the middle of the ttt round

[midg3tjake]

The code hasnt been editied either so its nothing i have done to it

Post your code? I just checked with the original code that chaos put up, but line 20 doesn't have "IsUserGroup". Did you add more tags/colors to it?

[midg3tjake]

Code: Lua

3. local Tags =

Yeah forgot about adding the ranks in

Just checking my email today, and found that I have 6 new emails from ULX forums (uncommon), and are all from the same thread (really uncommon).

Anyways, I'm not sure why you're getting an error, which is strange. I've checked for any Garry's mod updates (which never happen anyways), and nothing happened. So, I'm not sure what the issue is. Looks fine for me. Though, it might be a usererror on ulx's side.

Are you sure you have all the groups correctly named?

[JamminR]

His error indicates the function IsUserGroup is nil/doesn't exist, not that the variable being passed to it is.
Looks like another mod is overriding that function.
