Title: [H] Removing Connect Messages
Post by: Regen on October 17, 2019, 12:05:41 PM

I was wondering if there is a way to remove the standard connection messages in chat, for some reason my server displays them 2x the amount it should normally when someone connects and I would like it disabled, thanks for your time.

Certain types of chat messages can be filtered using the ChatText hook (https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/ChatText). The example below suppresses the default join/leave messages.

Code: [Select]

-- client-side
hook.Add( "ChatText", "HideJoinLeave", function( index, name, text, type )
  if type == "joinleave" then
    return true -- suppress
  end
end )

Any client-side Lua file will do.

For example: (garrysmod)/lua/autorun/client/hidejoinleave.lua

Oh, that's odd. Have you tried running your server without any addons?

If you prefer live support, consider joining the community Discord server (https://discordapp.com/invite/gR4Uye6) and asking your question there.
