cfc_gmod_scripts

A disgusting pile of loose-knit, à la carte scripts for Garry's Mod

Development

Halt! Are you 100% sure your idea doesn't fit better in its own repo, or perhaps another one of our addons? Loose-knit script repos like this are in danger of turning into a unmaintainable dumping ground. Please do your best to keep it clean and reasonable.

⚠️ The project structure and these rules are subject to change as we add more scripts.

All scripts should follow these rules:

• Be contained to a single directory under lua/cfc_gmod_scripts/
• Have an init.lua at the root of their directory
• Have a section in this README under the Included Scripts category
• Ideally, have a convar to enable/disable them

Included Scripts:

end )

l4d2_vehicles_fix

Description

net_remover

Description

Removes certain net messages that are never used or useless for our usecase.

player_pickup_fix

Description

Fixes a weird Garry's Mod exploit that happens if a player issues an absurd amount of Use commands on a single entity.

projectedtexture

remove_tabs_ranks

Description

Uses the cfc_remove_tabs addons' hooks to allow Moderators+ access to NPCs.

Config

• cfc_gmodscripts_enable_removetabs (1/0, replicated, archived)
