FAQ

Q: Can I see the source code? A: Sure, click here to see the GitHub repository. Q: Why did you create this? A: When I was getting into programming gLua, I was really into roleplay and decided I wanted to create this addon since I've never really seen it anywhere and thought it'd be a cool addition to roleplay servers. So, I created this addon over two years ago, and just recently decided to quickly recode it to make it much more efficient and optimized compared to the original version and finally release it for people to use. Q: Why is the model an error? A: The addon does have the required model and materials within the download, you can try to delete the addon and redownload it. Another method is to clear your cache and then redownload the addon. Otherwise, you can try to download CS:GO (It's free), and mount it to Garry's Mod. Others have stated it also works with just L4D, if you have that, go ahead and mount it. (I haven't tested L4D, just CS:GO) Q: What is the entity name? A: If players aren't able to manually spawn the message board, you can spawn it in using the following entity name: venom_messageboard Q: How do I edit the text on the message board? A: Go up to the board, and press E (or the key that is bound to "+use"). Edit the line you'd like to edit, and then hit enter. If you don't hit enter and just close the GUI, it will not update the text on the board. Note: Only the owner of the board can edit it. Q: Can this be towed? A: No, it doesn't support VCMod. Plus, it wouldn't look nice either, it was designed to be a static prop for CS:GO. If I ever do "v2" of this addon with a custom model, that will be designed to be allowed to be towed. Q: Does it work with "X" gamemode? A: It works with all gamemodes (Should work with all gamemodes derived from the base, if they are set up properly aka have base_gmodentity. Works with all Sandbox derived gamemodes.). Q: Can you add "X" to it? A: Leave a suggestion down below or on GitHub, if it's interesting and I have the time to do so, I'll add it. Q: I coded a feature, and want it added, how do I go about it? A: Go to my GitHub (RickyBGamez), and go to the Garry's Mod Project Repository. Make a pull request for the Message Board, and I'll review it as soon as possible (Don't just submit code, make sure it's in the correct directory. If it's not, I won't even bother reviewing it, I'll just deny the pull request).

Reporting Bugs

If you're experiencing crashes, any sort of errors, please disable all of your addons using the Addons > Disable All button, and re-enable this addon and see if the error still happens. If the problem persists, please open a discussion describing the problem and how to reproduce the issue in detail (Do NOT be vague, as this will not help fix the issue). If the problem is gone after disabling all other addons, then another addon(s) are causing these issues.
