Hi! Talk about my addons. GO!


Read this first!

This isn't really the place to ask for support, that's what tickets are for.


ANNOUNCEMENTS

Here are some recent announcements about my various products.

###ARCBank


####Important information about v1.4.3

Alright, first off, some of you might be experiencing this already, but due to how the arcbank purge_transactions works, you're going to have to know about this. Those who use MySQL might be getting strange "none expected, got thread" errors or something similar. In the past, I told you that I didn't know what causes those errors. Well, now I do! The error was the result of bugs in the MySQLOO module. The issues have been fixed by this wonderful person So please thank him for saving me a lot of headaches and for helping this update a lot sooner. I urge you all to update to the latest version of MySQLOO before installing ARCBank 1.4.3 if you're using it

Oh and tmysql4 has similar issues. Since its creator abandoned it, you shouldn't use that anymore.

On another note, the translations need some work. The only language I can confidently write in is English. I've received some reports about some grammatical errors, but I can't fix them. Please suggest changes if you can :)


TL;DR Update MySQLOO right now Help out with translations


###ARCSlots



###ARCPhone


####YouTube support with ARCPhone ringtones is now available!

Hello! Just wanted to let you guys know that YouTube URL support is now a thing! So why is there no ARCPhone update?

Well, that's because all I did was modify ARCLib's ARCLib.PlayCachedURL function (which works a lot like GMod's sound.PlayURL function except it saves the mp3 file on your computer so you don't have to stream it all the time) so that whenever it encounters a YouTube URL, it contacts one of those "YouTube-to-MP3" websites to convert the YouTube video, then it downloads the MP3 file.

Basically, just update ARCLib to get YouTube ringtones support

THERE IS ONE PROBLEM THOUGH The "YouTube-to-MP3" service I'm using doesn't appear to work on certain videos. The only way for me to fix this is to create my own "YouTube-to-MP3" website and have ARCLib use that. That won't happen until I finish my new website framework. It won't be hard to switch which website I'm using once it's finished, though. So at least I did most of the work :)

Anyway, thanks for enjoying ARCPhone. I will always keep you guys up-to-date regarding the progress with ARCPhone!



Known bugs/Issues:

I'm not perfect, these are constant reminders of that


###ARCBank

  1. There is no integrity check for the logs.
  2. There's no way to purge account transaction history without loosing everyone's balance

###ARCSlots

  1. Opening the vault drains FPS
  2. I know how to fix it and it will be fixed (eventually)

###ARCPhone

  1. Messaging app creates lua errors if you do funky shit with attaching images
  2. Text boxes with embedded images sometimes don't place the image properly when there's more than 1 images in the text boxes.
  3. Selfie mode SUCKS

###ARCLib

  1. Rendertargets bug out skyboxes sometimes
  2. ARCLib.PlayCachedURL needs a better YouTube -> MP3 API (I might have to create one myself)

Edited jk love it big boi

Suggestion for ARCPhone: Dispatch console, where 911 calls goto and can be routed to any active cop nearby the caller, adding gps info about where the call is coming from etc.

Also there's a bug with ARCBank and gmsv_bromsock_linux.dll, speak to Trixter about it it breaks his discord relay script and by extension the entire damn server with a segmentation fault. Happens 20s after ARCBank init.

add loans to arcphone

#7

Very nice idea :p

For ARCPhone I've some ideas :

  1. [USELESS but FUNNY] Adding a YouTube video support : users can watch youtube videos on their Phone
  2. [NOT NOW] Finnaly add a internet system (websites, mails etc...) working with the servers entities
  3. [MORE REALISTIC] Finish the battery system ! ( I've see the indicator but nothing appear after X times )

That's all for now ;) I think ARCPhone have a very good potential !

Thanks you for your amazing work,

Gaby !

You can actually text emergency numbers! And yeah, maps and location attachments are planned features. As for the dll, I don't know how Lua code could cause some sort of null pointer issue. I imagine it's an issue with the dll.

  1. First one might be possible as GMod now plans to implement HTML5
  2. Second one, the "server" entity is kinda meant to be more of an NSA spying type thing, not a PCMod thing.
  3. The battery icon actually shows your computer's real battery percentage, however, desktops always show that they are "charging"

If Aritz, Marcuz, Nook, and I had a mass orgy and a baby came from it, these scripts are the baby that would be born.

Theoretically, you can already send nudes via ARCPhone. Just put any jpg in \garrysmod\data\_arcphone_client\[your phone number]\photos\saved, and rename it from filename.jpg to filename.photo.jpg

Great now people are gonna catch wind and everyone is gonna be doing this. Probably will end up catching someone rub one off in-game.

Jesus Christ what the hell am I reading? Guys if you want to rub off than use some porn site of your choice and don't do that in game. But siriusly if you can send nudies than I'm thinking about not buying arcphone for my server...

Dude. I came up with a theoretical scenario of what users can do with those tools. Being able to send arbitrary images comes at the cost of.... being able to send arbitrary images. Users can already spam users with "naughty" images in text chat or with sprays. If you're not going to buy a piece of software centred around communication because you're afraid that you can't control what your users will communicate about, then I believe you have a lot of soul searching to do.

Besides, I'm sure that spamming/harassing is frowned upon in most communities and is a ban-able offence in some of them, right?

Almost every serious community has a rule based around "Do not post inappropriate or NSFW content". So even if a user did do said thing, they'd easily be punishable.

Hey ! I've an other idea :)

For ARCBank, on the entity creator, I think you should add the possibility to change the size of the buttons ( the light when you are aiming on ) and the color too :)
