blobmin 8 Jun, 2024 @ 2:37am 
alright it works fine for my friend
blobmin 3 Jun, 2024 @ 4:53pm 
alright let me check again and see if there is any problems

@blobmin

It should work in multiplayer by default.
blobmin 3 Jun, 2024 @ 6:13am 
can you make this support for multiplayer?
humvrider09 13 Feb, 2024 @ 1:13pm 
How do we access the settings menu?
Sam 17 Apr, 2023 @ 9:45pm 
Can you perhaps add an option to resize the text? It's way too big in my resolution. I appreciate either way, amazing mod! :]
kuz-(kuz) 3 Feb, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
Alright, thanks.
Sergeant Pan  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 11:31pm 
@kuz-(kuz)

All console commands are prefixed by MapPrompts. However you're better off just using the settings menu, as there are 30 console commands within the addon.
kuz-(kuz) 2 Feb, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
What are the commands?

Gah damn you're fast, thanks
Sergeant Pan  [author] 10 Jan, 2023 @ 3:13am 
@TheAwesomeBolt

I can look into it, but I'm still not 100% sure how to pull it off.
Moonfish 10 Jan, 2023 @ 3:02am 
Could we get a tab in the context menu that allows you to just broadcast a message to all players playing? At any time? I don't need any coordinates stuff, I can just send a message when it would be appropriate.
mr. shitbutt 24 Dec, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
oh, okay thanks for the quick response!
Sergeant Pan  [author] 23 Dec, 2022 @ 11:12pm 
@the bron james

The pinned thread features a pre-made script for adding support to maps. There is no way to add locations in-game because the code required to add such a mechanic is beyond my skill.

How do you add positions where the text happens
Tums® 14 Dec, 2022 @ 4:09pm 
I like this a lot

@Darth Plagueis the Chad

You download a custom font off the internet.

Place it inside your fonts folder (GarrysMod/garrysmod/resource/fonts)

You open the font file and read the font name at the top of the file

You copy that name (case sensitive) and place it inside the "Custom Font" textbox in the settings menu

If the font doesn't update, simply restart the map and it should take effect.
Darth Plagueis the Rad 7 Nov, 2022 @ 2:48pm 
How would you get this to use a custom font? I know it has the option but I'm unclear as to how it works.
PenPen 25 Jul, 2022 @ 7:59pm 
could you add a command for executing it without having to respawn, like exec the same that triggers when you respawn
Sergeant Pan  [author] 24 Jul, 2022 @ 12:03pm 
@PenPen

Besides having a location prompt trigger, no.
PenPen 24 Jul, 2022 @ 10:59am 
Is there any way to trigger it without having to respawn?
Georg 13 Jul, 2022 @ 10:36am 
any question?
Georg 12 Jul, 2022 @ 12:09am 
How to make custom map prompts?
I'm don't know how make?
Xerek 9 Jul, 2022 @ 12:21pm 
Would be cool if someone make for lorjason34's maps
Miles Prower 2 Jul, 2022 @ 2:57pm 
can you make HL1 Resized maps compatible or smth
Proxy 2 Jul, 2022 @ 5:56am 
HF1 possible
Sergeant Pan  [author] 1 Jul, 2022 @ 11:30pm 
@omniversequirk

You can do that by extracting the addon (relative to the maps you're playing on) and editing the location prompts manually.
omniversequirk 1 Jul, 2022 @ 5:15pm 
This might seem like im asking for a lot, but would it be possible for players to add their own custom mission names that differ in every location? like register them through commands or something?
filz0 1 Jul, 2022 @ 2:44am 
Woah, this is cool.
jazzie 1 Jul, 2022 @ 12:41am 
wow that was fast. thanks!

What is the map in the third screenshot?
Makø 30 Jun, 2022 @ 2:37pm 
I have two new name suggestions, Operation: Down Pour and Operation: Snow Dog
Bub177 30 Jun, 2022 @ 1:12pm 
@Sergeant Pan

Operation Morning Star
Sergeant Pan  [author] 30 Jun, 2022 @ 1:06pm 
@Bub177

I can, and I won't mind community suggestions for new names.
Bub177 30 Jun, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
could you please add more operation names?
Sergeant Pan  [author] 30 Jun, 2022 @ 7:19am 
@super robot123

The prompt will trigger so long as the player is spawning in. I.e. the map is loaded for the first time, or the player has died and then respawned.

I can't give you a straight answer, as I'm honestly not sure how loading saves interacts with this addon.
super robot123 30 Jun, 2022 @ 7:12am 
does it work when saving?
ross... 30 Jun, 2022 @ 4:23am 
@Sergeant Pan

Oh, okay, then, that's understandable.
Sergeant Pan  [author] 30 Jun, 2022 @ 3:47am 
@Ross.

I don't have much experience with multiplayer-focused commands so I'm not sure.
ross... 30 Jun, 2022 @ 3:35am 
Can you make an admin-only function to force the prompt to appear for every player on the server with a button or a command? It may come in handy for events on RP servers or something like that.
Faygo 29 Jun, 2022 @ 3:19pm 
I hope social guarantee makes support for his maps on this mod
Grandpa Major 29 Jun, 2022 @ 11:07am 
Just sayin', StormFox 1 is better than StormFox 2.
Sergeant Pan  [author] 29 Jun, 2022 @ 4:56am 
@Hunter Killer

Not that I know of, but I can add it to the list of community requests.
edging lord 29 Jun, 2022 @ 4:53am 
Any GM_FORK support? Just curious. If not, no need to rush it.
Sergeant Pan  [author] 29 Jun, 2022 @ 2:35am 
@dexter05.06

Player name can already be customized in the settings menu using the "Custom prompt name" textbox (I will probably rename this later, it's confusing.)

Mission name cannot be changed yet, but I will definitely look into adding said feature.
dexter05.06 29 Jun, 2022 @ 2:18am 
Is it possible to make the players themselves specify the "Mission name" as well as the "Player name"? sorry for my english.
Neosun 28 Jun, 2022 @ 8:26pm 
AM and PM are swapped.
the 28 Jun, 2022 @ 6:18pm 
this is a really neat idea!
