Title: Adverts all appear at once
Post by: ToshNeox on March 27, 2012, 12:00:45 PM

Hi. I've had a problem with my adverts using XGUI. I want to have each of my 4 adverts show every 150 seconds, but not all at the same time. Currently, when I click update and leave XGUI, 150 seconds later, all the ads show at once. I just want each one to show 150 seconds after each other. I've put them into separate groups, but to no avail. Is this a bug or can this be fixed?

ULX version: SVN (updated few days ago)
Server versions: All updated (few days ago)
Other addons: WireMod, ACF, EasyPrecision, Precision Alignment (+ others).

Hi.
I believe different groups will appear at the same time.
Hello A 150
World B 150
"Hello world" will all appear 150 seconds after server start.
However,
Hello A 150
World A 1
Will print hello at 150 and world at 151 (1 second later).
(Search our forums, as this has come up 2-3 years ago, and read your gmod/addons/ulx/data/adverts.txt for detail, then manually check your actual gmod/data/ulx/adverts file.)
Though its possible Stickly added an unplanned feature to XGUI, I'm betting the grouping will correct it.

Thanks, that worked. I never thought about putting them in a group. Maybe it would help if the adverts which weren't in a group, were put into an 'undefined' group so they don't show at once :D

It's tough to clearly communicate what these numbers mean, but it is our opinion that if adverts aren't in a group, the most logical behavior is to have the second count for each one be the amount of time from map start (EG, the current behavior). :)
