Misc utility functions and commands for the GMod server

TAServers GMod Utils

Initialisation scripts and other utilities for the TAServers GMod server.

Contributing

Create a file for your utility in the appropriate realm's folder (e.g. sv-tas-utils). If your code is using functions etc. from other addons, or anything from TASUtils, you should place it in initpostentity

Any utility functions you want used globally, place in the TASUtils global table to keep everything together, an example being TASUtils.Broadcast. If it's not obvious what the function does, add a comment documenting it.

gmod-utils's Issues

Simple block sounds

Just to prevent minges doing mingy things

local blacklist = {
	gmod_thruster = true,
	gmod_wire_thruster = true,
	gmod_wire_vectorthruster = true,
	gmod_wire_painter = true,
}

hook.Add("EntityEmitSound", "psb_sounds", function(data)
	if blacklist[data.Entity:GetClass()] then return false end
end)

Rework ULX cleanup commands

Rework:

• Move them into a separate "Cleanup" category, putting everything into TAS Utilities is stupid.
• Export a function from every file, then make ulx tidy that will just call all of them

Add ropes cleanup

if SERVER then
	function ulx.ropes(ply)
		for k,v in pairs(ents.FindByClass("keyframe_rope")) do
			if v.Ent1 and v.Ent1:IsWorld() and v.Ent2 and v.Ent2:IsWorld() then v:Remove() end
		end
		
		ulx.fancyLogAdmin(ply, "#A removed all the world ropes")
	end
end

local cmd = ulx.command("Cleanup", "ulx ropes", ulx.ropes, "!ropes")
cmd:defaultAccess(ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN)
cmd:help("Removes all the world ropes")

Add ULX FancyLog to missing commands

I noticed some commands are missing a log (well, only freeze and unfreeze from testing)

~ #9 (comment)

Add uptime

local time = SysTime
local tostr = tostring

if SERVER then
	local boot = time() or 0
	
	function ulx.uptime(calling_ply, target_plys, amount)
		local diff = time() - boot
		if not diff then return end
		
		local up = string.FormattedTime(diff)
		local msg = up and string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", tostr(up.h), tostr(up.m), tostr(up.s)) or "who knows how many hours"
		
		ulx.fancyLog("Server has been running for #s", msg)
	end
end

local cmd = ulx.command("Utility", "ulx uptime", ulx.uptime, "!uptime", true)
cmd:defaultAccess(ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN)
cmd:help("Server's uptime")

Make minge rank

local function block(ply)
	if IsValid(ply) and ply:GetUserGroup() == "minge" then return false end
end
