AWarn2 - Advanced Warning Module

[Setix]

Just wanted to say that this script is the tits. I appreciate your hard work in giving this to us Mr. President.

[MrPresident]

You're welcome. I enjoy giving back to the gmod community. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any suggestions or find any bugs.

Watch: http://videobam.com/RTBXf this will show you my problem.

The options menu doesn't save when I change things, and It still doesn't reflect the options I set in server.cfg. I'm using the latest version.

It does use the settings I set manually in the server.cfg though.

Watch: http://videobam.com/RTBXf this will show you my problem.

That's extremely odd. It would seem as though they aren't being written to your sv.db file. Please try this for me.

- On your server find your sv.db file (it's in the garrysmod folder, root level) and rename it to something else. Probably sv(backup).db.
- Restart your server (completely, not just map change)
- Verify game files (if you are running a dedicated server, run the update tool)
- Try the addon again. I wonder if your sv.db file is corrupted.

[MrPresident]

Eccid, I sent you a friends request on steam. I'd like to help you sort this out.

[MrPresident]

Now at Version 1.4.

Changes
-----------
+ You no longer are required to include "quotes" around your reason when using the console or chat.
+ Completely overhauled the way the addon stores configurations. They are no longer convars but instead synced globals that are stored in your server's database. (Eccid, this will fix your problem, but you no longer need to store the values in your server.cfg)
+ Added a client menu for non-admins to see their own warnings. Accessable to non-admins with !warn or awarn_menu
+ Added messages showing a player who is warned how many active warnings they have as well as how many until they are kicked/banned.
+ Added a message to any player who joins that has active warnings showing them how many they have as well as how many until they are kicked/banned.
+ Shows which version you are running in the menu.
+ Other minor bug fixes.

[MrPresident]

Updated to version 1.5

Fixes
------

- There was an oversight in the code that sometimes caused the addon to warn the wrong person. Fixed that.
- The addon didn't correctly handle players with spaces in their name if you typed their whole name or used the GUI to clear or reduce their warnings. Fixed that.

Purchased on CH. Worth more than $4!

[GGG KILLER]

Why don't make a paypal donate button, instead of placing on coderhire?

[MrPresident]

I have both. Put the script up on there, because people will buy it. I also offer it here for free because this community means a lot to me and I like giving back to you guys. I will also post my paypal link on the main post in case someone wants to donate less than $4.

It's all the same to me though. I just use 100% of the proceeds to pay for my community that I run (which isn't cheap).

I'm a cheap son of a gun.
I should go hang out more in your community!
The value would go down immensely!
Though, now that I think of it, that might not help, driving away regular contributors and all)

(You mean a lot to us too. Thanks for the contributions!)

[MrPresident]

New version:
v1.6
+ Shows a message to players who receive a warning showing them how many warnings they have and how many before they are kicked/banned (if enabled)
+ Shows a message to all connected admins when a player with active warnings joins the server.
+ You can now use any of the warning commands (awarnwarn, awarndeletewarnings, awarn_removewarn) from the server's console. This includes RCON such as HLSW.
+ You can now warn and manage warnings by SteamID. Just use a steamID instead of a player's name. This feature is only available through the console commands currently.

[MrPresident]

v1.7
+ Now has support for 5 different permission levels if using ULX (which you all should be!!)
+ Server owners can now set up their AWarn so some users can view warnings but not warn players, or some can warn but not delete.
+ All 5 permission levels are registered in XGUI so you can add them to groups with ease! I will also explain them in the body of this post.

[MuteTM]

Just a few notes so far, I moved from your original module.

1. Please, if ULX is available, use the Ulysses logging system and obey ULX LogEcho
2. If using ULX logging, please do not prefix entries with [AWarn]
3. There are no entries in the ULX menu for the commands, it must be done currently thru chat/console. Can this be changed?

The !warn menu is a step up, but it feels the rest is almost a step backwards for us who use ULX.
