I realize that no one probably cares about this topic anymore, but I have no idea how to add the custom tags. For example a superadmin having [Super Admin] Or just Super Admin |. Where do you put/ create a lua file to put these in and how do you do it?

Where do you put/ create a lua file to put these in and how do you do it?

You install this addon depending on which version you need/want.
You then follow the instructions in the first post, editing a specific file within the addon. Examples are shown.
If you don't yet know how to install addons in Gmod, then the releases section of (any Gmod forum, not just Ulysses) may not be the best place to start.
Use Google. If that doesn't help, ask in off topic.

I guess what I said was misunderstanding. I installed the addon perfectly, and it works fine. I just am not sure where to put the code for a custom tag, for example I have this in the cl lua file:

Code: [Select]

local Tags =
{
--Group    --Tag     --Color
{"admin", "ADMIN", Color(0, 0, 255, 255) },
{"superadmin", "Super Admin", Color(255, 0, 0, 255) },
{"owner", "Over Ruler", Color(0, 255, 0, 255) },
{"senioradmin", "Senior Admin", Color(255, 0, 0)}
}


[JamminR]

That section is what you edit for a custom tag.
As shown, the name of the group , tag you want shown , color you want used.
So if you had a group called blah and wanted them to have a white tag, you'd add an additional line after placing a comma on the last.

Code: [Select]

local Tags =
{
--Group    --Tag     --Color
{"admin", "ADMIN", Color(0, 0, 255, 255) },
{"superadmin", "Super Admin", Color(255, 0, 0, 255) },
{"owner", "Over Ruler", Color(0, 255, 0, 255) },
{"senioradmin", "Senior Admin", Color(255, 0, 0)},
{"blah", "Blah", Color(255, 255, 255) }
}

i have deathrun server but it only shows runner and death and ranks dont shows like that
*DEAD* (TEAM) Spectator| 3RB: hi
or
Runner| 3RB: hi
or
Death| 3RB: hi
only my rank as super admin dont shows

i used the 2 versions manage and other but nothing happen

[3RB]

also can i make it like that
*DEAD* [Moderator] 3RB: hi
instead of
*DEAD*admin|3RB

[JamminR]

It's likely not compatible if the gamemode or other addons already modify the chat text.

[3RB]

so no fix?

I'm sorry I can't help any of you guys with any of my addons, I'm glad some others have had time to assist players here. I'm pretty much dead when it comes to gmod or steam in general. Some bad stuff happened irl, and I just have no time to deal with this anymore.

[FerreroPizza]

Mine doesn't have the below setting.

Code: [Select]

local Tags =
{
--Group    --Tag     --Color
{"admin", "ADMIN", Color(0, 0, 255, 255) },
{"superadmin", "Super Admin", Color(255, 0, 0, 255) },
{"owner", "Over Ruler", Color(0, 255, 0, 255) },
{"senioradmin", "Senior Admin", Color(255, 0, 0)},
{"blah", "Blah", Color(255, 255, 255) }
}

_{EDIT - JamminR-You REALLY don't need to post an entire file, especially not using BB code tag. I've cleaned up your post to say the exact same thing in much less time/page space.}

[Bytewave]

Mine just says
SNIP
Not...
SNIP

_{good god, man, use some code tags}

Wrong file. Check the other one.

How do I make a player's prefix saying "Guest" instead of "Unassigned"?
