Ideas on "Outdated" Looking HUD

There's just so much wrong with this:

First: you're trying to sell a HUD, stop and make something unique and something people would want Second: why is all the text italic Third: The text is overflowing out of the boxes Forth: The design is wayyy too simple Fifth: what is this? https://i.lunaversity.xyz/usxm.png Sixth: what is this? https://i.lunaversity.xyz/sh4i.png

I'd suggest working on this and posting it on the workshop then making something unique and different from everything for selling.

Edited

nvm nice meme post pablo

nvm nice meme post pablo?

Fifth is a theme changer, and sixth is notifications but once the notifications are up and you change theme the existing notifications do not change text color.

Thank you, i read your post about script ideas, i will probably work on other things, i have just recently gotten back into gmod lua, and have a better and quicker understanding of alot.

Feedback greatly appreciated.

plz stop posting huds unless they're next level and never done before

How about you help with some input instead of telling me not too, i know that Gmodstore is over saturated with HUD's yet i see some pretty crappy ones and just wanted to contribute. I shall release this freely when i finish up some touches.

This addon is too simple, not original: https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1112/tcb-premium-fg-hud It really looks like a 5 second script. I made this in 5 minutes:

PS: I am offering this HUD for 12USD, use IKEA5EUR coupon code!!

PPS: No but seriously. Ask some friends of what they think of the HUD. At the moment it looks shit and looks like a bad copy of TCB - Premium: FG HUD.

Greetings, Obitus

I came.

Let me make something clear; for the 200th time.

People should NOT compare past scripts with a new one they may be working on. Anyone saying

Well, Script X was submitted 2 years ago, and it looks worse than mine

And if Script X were submitted today as a new script, it would go through the same review process as all others do now, and if it were bad, it would get denied. However, we can't change our expectations and start just disabling past scripts because they aren't what we're expecting now. That's not fair. Hopefully the older developers do update their scripts and give them a unique look, but we can't start taking existing ones down after they've been accepted unless their is something horrible wrong with them.

Standards have changed, and we're starting to be a LOT more picky about what gets approved. We already let some things through that technically shouldn't get approved, but if the code quality is there, and it looks like time has been put into it, as well as a nice UI, then we'll let it past, but we're not going to be approving every single HUD and loading screen now.

You need to create something that is "unique and fresh". Features that we haven't seen before, styles that we're amazed with. We want to give everyone a shot at being on the market with their products, but we're not going to keep accepting the same item over and over with just a few different colors.

It's not to say your HUD is "omg kill me now" horrible. It just doesn't meet the quality we're starting to go for. If you want to revamp it with a different look, then you're welcome to do that and re-submit.

Still nordahl's scripts shouldn't be allowed to stay up lmao

nice

nice

Old screenshot. Has since been fixed.

And thank you for the reply richard. I understand. I might start working on some other more backend stuff instead of vgui for a bit until an idea pops up.

Yea some should really be disabled either by himself or a moderator. I mean, what does HE think of his scripts?

Still nordahl's scripts shouldn't be allowed to stay up lmao

Sike they all got disabled for being bad (Over 15 scripts!)

I want to clarify something about this whole situation as I feel some people are purposefully being misfed information.

Nordahl's scripts were disabled for consistently failing to meet the standards set in this marketplace. Contrary to his belief that the staff have a vendetta against him none of us (as far as I am aware) fall into that mindset.

If Nordahl fails to fix his scripts and meet the higher standards that have been set then that falls upon his shoulders, and his alone. He has been given the proper feedback and channels to fix his scripts, and if he refuses to do so then he has nobody to blame but himself. We're not asking the world, however he should not treat it like a personal attack and instead man up and fix what needs to be updated.

EN: Hello, I've always done what it took to correct errors that are reported to me, to best meet the expectations of my clients. I will continue to do so because my goal has always been to improve myself and to satisfy my clients. Thank you for telling me about your new requirements. Even though I would have preferred to be notified earlier to fix the problem before the script blocking.

Aritz already told me about some things to correct, that I rectified 7 months ago: Changelog of 30 Jan 2017 - 16:32

I'll do my best to meet this new standards.

Kindest regards and thank you for your return. Nordahl

FR: J'ai toujours fait ce qu'il fallait pour corriger les erreurs qui me sont reportées et pour répondre au mieux aux attentes de mes clients. Je continuerai à le faire parce que mon but a toujours été de m'améliorer et de satisfaire mes clients. Merci de me faire part de vos nouvelles exigences. Même si j'aurais préféré être averti plus tôt pour corriger le problème avant le blocage de script.

Aritz m'a déjà parlé de certaines choses à corriger et dont je me suis occupé il y a 7 mois: Changelog of 30 Jan 2017 - 16:32

Je vais faire au mieux pour répondre à ces nouveaux standards.

Bien cordialement et merci pour votre retour. Nordahl

1. local exemplesteamid64="{{ user.id }}" Unused variable and didn't even use the correct character. Should be {{ user_id }}
2. Poorly structured, no tabulation, everything is left-aligned right down the file.
3. Globals everywhere. Regardless of them being uniquely named, they should be localized unless absolutely needed otherwise, and global vars/tables should be placed in a single global table that you can call.
4. Translations for scripts should NOT be done with Google Translate, Yandex, etc.
5. Your entire structure for your translations is way below our quality standards. Some strings aren't even translated to the language that is specified, and we confirmed with numerous people that some of these translations are wrong. (https://i.iamrichardt.com/fDmLfNn)
6. Your DLC (https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1843/musical-ambience-system-for-the-cubic-safe-zone-) needs to be merged with the actual core script itself. The code for this DLC is 15 lines, and your anti-leak message at the top of this single file is actually a tiny-bit longer than the code itself (19 lines for the code, 20 lines for the anti-leak message). But you're charging $2.99?
7. Your Customizable Cubic System and Customizable Spheric System need to be merged into one script.
8. Random prints thrown everywhere, even stuff that a script owner shouldn't even need to see (debugging prints I assume?)
9. Just why? https://i.iamrichardt.com/n4T2diU
10. Why include the data folder in Whitelist Server Access 2.5 and make the purchaser move it (chances for them doing it wrong). Why not just check/create the folders/files when the server starts up?
11. Poorly written, and why not iterate through in a table? https://i.iamrichardt.com/HcQ3GTQ
12. Some scripts have a gamemodes folder with just your zworld icon in it. Doesn't need to be there.
13. Is that 20+ line anti-leak message really needed in the header of each and every file? I removed it from one of your scripts as a test and it removed almost 20kb from the size of the script. The script itself (functionality) then became only 8kb. So only 8kb of actual code out of 28kb?

I'm sure there are other things, but these are the noticeable ones. However, I'm going to say this. No staff member of gms has any type of personal vendetta against you. The scripts were not disabled because it's just fun to disable 15 scripts, they were disabled because people with legitimate concerns contacted us, and we investigated them and found that there were issues that required addressing. Had we checked your scripts, and nothing been wrong, we wouldn't have touched them at all.

Also, the pastes I included, with everything shoved to the far left. That's exactly how it is in the file, zero tabulation.

tab machine 🅱️roke

Yes, indeed.As for me, I have nothing against you. All that interests me is to do my job as well as possible. I have no interest to make you trouble, this for me would be a waste of time and I do not gain any profit. I'm sure you have better things to do than seek to do me harm.

Well, we would appreciate it then if you didn't tell your customers that it's all our fault and that we're out to get you, and that we're jealous (we've received reports).
