General Clockwork questions and answers

If you have a question about something, Lua related or not, post here and I'll give you an answer. Other people feel free to drop answers here as well.

Ciao.

 

I have a question, my friend got Hl2rp then he made a SQL it worked fine for about a month, then it stoped working, he cant get it to work again. thanks for any help

 

How come you're so sexy?
And how did you get so good at Lua duck?

 

You're better off in the support desk section, this is for general stuff instead of problems relating to your server's setup.

I got it from my momma.

Hunger Johnson taught me the basics of Lua, but I was an idiot and didn't know why things work the way they worked. I visited the GMod wiki and had an epiphany on how it all came together. The rest is simply experience.

 

Will Clockwork ever be free to use?

 

no, it's just simply apperently not free material

a different framework doesnt have to be free, but it deserves not to.

cw on the other hand, its just too high priced

I said Clockwork, not Black Mesa.

 

That's like saying you make cars for free and anyone's free to make a car design, but you won't make the car for them.

 

I don't get it. Black Mesa runs on clockwork, and is free. You can run clockwork for free.

 

You can get Clockwork for free, you can get BlackMesa for free.

You can run BlackMesa on Clockwork for free.

You can build your own schema off of BlackMesa's (or a skeleton schema's) functions for free.

It's all free now, except for the paid schemas (HL2RP, P4, C2), which are basically big pre-made content packs.

 

Okay, that's an indirect way of answering it.

Yes, because everyone wants to run Black Mesa.

 

That's just it, how many people want to go through an application process to release something for free? You may call it creative moderation, I call it creative hindrance. You obviously don't want it because you won't change anything.

To get this thread back on track, I've got a question.

I'm trying to edit the derma skin and some of the thematic aspects of my schema and this is what I've gotten done so far:



I've looked through all kinds of files (and even searched using Sublime's folder-searcher tool) and I can't seem to figure out how to change the body text color. I've looked through the derma skin file (which is where most of the settings are that I've changed to get to this point) and I would THINK that it's SKIN.text_normal, but editing that value doesn't give me any results.

Where in the hell can I find this color at?

 

Use:
Clockwork.option:SetColor( "white", Color(255, 255, 255, 255) );

Under:
function THEME:Initialize()

In:
cl_theme.lua

 

That didn't seem to do anything. Also, I'm fairly certain that the white color is already defined by the framework (and set to the same RGB value that you provided) in the sh_option.lua library.

 

It is, and that will overwrite it to whatever you wish. I also misread, that option is for changing the titles, not the body. But I looked into it and found that those colours are default to that panel, you'll have to edit the derma directly and define the text's colour.
