Title: "d" and "w" suffixes for time related arguments (i.e. ban length)
Post by: lavacano201014 on August 29, 2011, 06:01:15 PM

So instead of having to calculate 60 * 24 * 3 for a 3 day ban, I can just input "3d" as the time.

Soon as ULib and ULX SVNs update I'll try to find the relevant part in the code and make a diff file. Done. Download from here, the forum software apparently refuses to accept the file as an attachment. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5733962/timesuffix.patch)

It's a TortoiseSVN patch, but it looks like `patch -p0 timesuffix.patch` would apply it on a *NIX system as well.

er, doy - I accidentally broke the permanently text - I set it so minutes is expected as a string but then I didn't keep the rest of my changes consistent. Either unstring it or switch the variable checked to "timearg" there. fixed this later on

Thanks!

Could have sworn we'd done something like this already.
Maybe I'd just mentioned wanting it.
Past few years are a blur. :)

Good to see you around again lavacano.
With spbogie not lurking as much either, maybe a Gmod revival is occuring.
Heck, I love UDodge..it and the ULib update release alone brought me back and updated Gmod.
I look forward to the smell of burniing idea brain cells.

I updated the patch (same download link). All I did was underp the permanently text and apply it to banid as well.

You guys probably did that already but hey you never know.

Mind if I code something similar to this into ULX proper, lavacano? I'll give you credit in the changelog. :)

Sure.

Heck, go ahead and just outright use my patch if you like. That's what it's there for :)

Implemented in rev 188. :)

Sorry lavacano201014, didn't use your patch. I wanted something a little more robust and general purpose. :)
