Player Connect/Disconnect Message [1.11v]

Is there any way of changing the volume of these pings? It near as damnit deafens people on mapchange when 20+ people connect at the same time.

[Neku]

Just disable the sound.

Kinda made me chuckle.

Just disable the sound.

May I strongly suggest you tell the person questioning... HOW!?
There is no config file,  No console commands,  No convars for this script. It's not a ULX specific menu addon. It's straight Lua.
Though, yes, you may find it easy and experience shows you how, imagine yourself as a 99.999% Lua newb.
And the only reason you've got the .001% experience is because you've seen the word "Lua".
How then would you consider your answer?

[Neku]

Alrighty, go into one of the lua files in here. I don't know which one since it's literally been 6 months since I last used this.

Find the line of code with .wav or .mp3.
Type this in that same line before the code.

Code: [Select]

My best guess is that it's in the clientside lua.

I appreciate the sentiment JamminR, and understand the principle of helping out newer coders. Luckily, I'm not a complete coding newb, just fairly new to Lua. I'm aware I could just disable the sound by commenting it out but I like having the sound while the round is active, it does a good job of notifying people of joiners, and leavers especially.

I've considered two other options:

1. Remake the base ping sounds in Audacity or whatever to reduce the volume, reupload as a custom sound and change the file path in the Lua.

or

2. Could perhaps add a kind of timing loop/delay that disables the sounds in the first 10 seconds of the map starting? Is that possible?

EDIT:

Kinda made me chuckle.

Which part, the naivety that I could change the volume of a base file, or the deafening pings of death? 

[Neku]

Could you paste the code on that line for me?

[Dawnkiller]

Code: [Select]

surface.PlaySound( "garrysmod/save_load1.wav" )

I just added this to my server and when I was spawning in the server I got a message in the top left of my screen that said "Something is creating script errors." I checked the console and it said Warning: Unhandled usermessage 'player_spawn'. How would I fix this error?

Hey chaos just want to thank you for this addon it has helped me so much and i am using the one that shows the steam id and it works perfectly just requesting though are you able to make a damagelog system for the gamemode jailbreak?

[Saucey]

Code: [Select]

local Tags =
{
--Group    --Tag     --Color
{"admin", "ADMIN", Color(0, 0, 255, 255) },
{"superadmin", "SUPERADMIN", Color(255, 0, 0, 255) },
{"owner", "OWNER", Color(0, 255, 0, 255) }
}
How you did this code above, I would like for the connections to be displayed like so "[Server] [Admin] Mr. Apple has joined the server!"
I have 8 ranks that I would like to be displayed like how they display in the chat with that code.

I would greatly appreciate that!

Is there a way to only target a specific group only? So that that group is the only one that the notification comes up for. Thanks.

[Avoid]

Hello,
take a look at the code and add something before the message is being shown to the players!
There you could do an if-statement with IsAdmin/IsUserGroup.

[nar308]

Thank you for the reply, so would it be something like

if (not IsValid(ply)) or ply:IsSuperAdmin()
then chat.AddText( Color( 255, 0, 255 ), "[Server] ", nickteamcolour1, name1, Color( 255, 255, 255 ), " has joined in the server." )?

[nar308]

Ok a quick question again, how would i go about making it target a specific player. Like for example if i wanted it to only display the message to someone named Bob?
