Playing a full screen video on player join server?
So I've been thinking about this for some time now. Does anybody have any recommendations on how I could have a fullscreen video play on player join for the first time they join the server, and they can't skip it? I'm unsure of how I'd go about doing this. If there's too much involved, chances are I'll probably make a job request for it, lmao!
and they can't skip it?
don't
Not really complicated to do tho
As Lapin said.
If I join a server with a loading screen spamming shitty anime music (or any music in general) I will hit that disconnect button instantly.
it's not a loading screen that I'm looking to do, or an OpenURL. It's a fullscreen video explaining all the rules and etc.
Just use a generic MOTD, if you force someone to watch a video on explaining rules, chances are they will leave.
edit: you could also link the video to them, or if a MOTD supports it, add it as a tab or something
Just my opinion here on what i've seen. Players typically can barely play gmod on low graphic settings or at least %60 of them, they already have trouble connecting. Even if the video doesn't slow them down, they will say it's the videos fault and complain or worse not populate ur server. I look around at big successful servers and what they do and why do they do it. Currently none of the top servers use a video loading.

Sounds like a great deal to me...
I don't see how me saying a loading full video has caused you all to attack me, but thats ok.
And if you attack people out of the blue simply for making a comment, well thats trashy and un professional.
Anyways i stand by my comment, none of the top servers use video loading, so form your opinion.
Also keep in mind, if these "content creators" here whom are acting so childish on this post act this way, how valuable is their opinions?
no bully pls

I’m not trying to be rude but how valuable is your opinion exactly? That cringey profile picture and horrible mistforums, I wouldn’t exactly take you seriously either.
Look guys, idk why you are judging me over a profile picture or attacking me here still? I built my own community, i work on it daily. I support devs who work hard i don't use any leaks or any of that crap. I'm a guy who is trying to be a part of this community, all i did was make a simple post telling the guy my opinion on a full video on his loading screen. To be honest i don't see anything wrong with my post about it, it's true none of the big servers use it, so there must be a good reason.
Anyways, it doesnt feel good to be bashed by devs here on the community, i see why others don't comment much. Sucks that you all are making such harsh evaluations of my small community. But at least we are honest decent people, not the ordinary gmod skids.
If all you guys are going to do is bash a respectable supporter of this community, and stalk my forums etc trolling us, i will just agree to let you be my scriptfodder bully and stop.
I know how you guys work, you'll just try to cause trouble for me. All i was doing was trying to help another community member.
jeez
:(

You are not helping yourself, you are digging a bigger hole. Last time I checked this was a question about a loading screen.
You are being a child not us

So by me responding to the original question with a valid point, then being attacked by several people is now my fault? So because i answered this, it's ok for them to go onto my forums and leave nasty comments? Then pm me here making nasty remarks, and continue literally bashing me on this post and i'm just supposed to not respond?
Makes alot of sense.........

I have a couple of things to say to this:
- You’re the one who put the link to your own forums, willingly leading people to them.
- Nobody has gone onto your personal forum to my knowledge to talk shit or anything infact.

- Sure did put my link there, thought this was a good community.
- Im not asking you to verify anything.
- You continue talking off topic just to be little me for trying to help someone here.
- I'm done with this, have fun making off topic comments on how hateful you must be to do so.
Good day to you all
