Decicus:
Oh yeah, forgot about that hook.

Although, if he wanted that other column with the "Rank" or whatever, one would still need to modify the files.

DJ Mikey:
i actually did not need to do much.  It wasnt working at first and giving me console errors, i navigated to the lines that were generating the lua errors and simply made some minor edits.  (had some extra end's)

As far as making the rank column not over lap, i just got rid of the Super Admin text and edited it to read Owner.  Now all group names fit and i dont need to meddle around to much with the script.  All i need to do now is add an extra group to get rid of the "rank" group for normal users.  Should be easy enough now that i understand how the script works in those lines.

Decicus:
That is actually an easy edit, in where the ranks are, under the ones for "admin" and "superadmin". Just add this:


--- Code: ---        elseif ply:IsUserGroup("user") then
                self.cols[5]:SetText("Player")
                self.cols[5]:SetTextColor(Color(255, 255, 255, 255))

--- End code ---

Edit as you would like it to be.

DJ Mikey:
i thought for color white it was 0, 0, 0, 255

i have already added the user group to read Guest, i added another line for group "member" players gain member status upon registering to the forums!

actually heres a question

Here is what i got now


--- Code: ---local namecolor = {
       default = COLOR_WHITE,
       admin = Color(220, 180, 0, 255),
       dev = Color(0, 100, 255, 255),
       test = Color(220, 0, 0, 255),
       member = Color(50, 255, 0, 255)
    };
     
    function GM:TTTScoreboardColorForPlayer(ply)
       if not IsValid(ply) then return namecolor.default end
     
       --ADD NAMECOLOURS HERE--
       if ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:xxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:xxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:xxxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:xxxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:xxxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:xxxxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:xxxxxxxxxx" then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:IsAdmin() and GetGlobalBool("ttt_highlight_admins", true) then
          return namecolor.admin
       elseif ply:IsUserGroup("superadmin") then
                    return namecolor.test
   elseif ply:IsUserGroup("member") then
                    return namecolor.member    
       end
       return namecolor.default
    end
--- End code ---

Instead of using each persons steam id for VIP specific colors... could i just do this instead


--- Code: ---local namecolor = {
       default = COLOR_WHITE,
       admin = Color(220, 180, 0, 255),
       dev = Color(0, 100, 255, 255),
       test = Color(220, 0, 0, 255),
   member = Color(50, 255, 0, 255)
    };
     
    function GM:TTTScoreboardColorForPlayer(ply)
       if not IsValid(ply) then return namecolor.default end
     
       --ADD NAMECOLOURS HERE--
      if ply:IsUserGroup("vip") then
          return namecolor.dev
       elseif ply:IsAdmin() and GetGlobalBool("ttt_highlight_admins", true) then
          return namecolor.admin
       elseif ply:IsUserGroup("superadmin") then
                    return namecolor.test
   elseif ply:IsUserGroup("member") then
                    return namecolor.member    
       end
       return namecolor.default
    end
--- End code ---

It would be much easier and i wouldnt need to edit the lua for new VIPs

JamminR:
0 = absense of color.
255 = full range of color
000 = black
255255255 = white
