Console Advertising
Just wanted to bring this to everyone attention, minor but some people might care.

If you use this addon (without removing code) this message appears in console:

Looking for a Minecraft server host? Visit NodeCraft.com today!
Use promotional code GMOD for 10% off for life!


This is fine, no harm but some people might not like this. You should state on the description that this is here or remove it totally, not sure how much commission you are making off it but there is also no licence/agreement with this addon that uesrs agree to to use this other then standard workshop/valve ones.

CODE:


-- It's a one time console print every map change, never seen by your players.
hook.Add("Initialize", "NodeCraftAdvert", function()
timer.Simple(15, function()
if GetConVarNumber('ss_disable_ads') == 1 then return end
ServerLog("\n\nLooking for a Minecraft server host? Visit NodeCraft.com today!\nUse promotional code GMOD for 10% off for life!\n\n")
end)
end)

Yep.

As you can see from that cvar, you can disable the ads entirely by setting ss_disable_ads to 1. No harm done.

Yep, but it's good to make people aware somewhere in the description, saves people having to scan all files for the code (which obviously they can't due to .gma unless they unpack EVERYTHING they use.

Add it to your workshop collection
Add ID to workshop LUA file
Run server (it will download)
Find textscreen in Q menu.


If you don't have workshop collection:
1. Sub to the addon
2. Extract with GMA Extractor
4. Dump folder into server addons folder
5. Add any resources to your fastdl.

♥♥♥♥ your ♥♥♥♥ ads. Seriously.
My freind just told me about his console being filled with your trash.

I'm so glad I have a modified version without your ♥♥♥♥ code.

I DON'T GIVE A ♥♥♥♥ ABOUT SS_DISABLE_ADS, REMOVE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ADS FROM THE MOTHER ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ADDONS.

As this is provided entirely for free, it's really not much to ask to be able to include a small advertisement, especially when it's easily disabled. If you have to download this addon from other sources, I can't stop you, but do be aware there's a version floating around that has various exploits.

Most wanted, it's not hard to extract this and load to server without the ads in the code.

You don't need to workshop this anyways just install as addon and add the font to resources.

For reaching 100k subscribers via the Steam Workshop, I've open sourced this at https://github.com/CherryJimbo/3D2D-TextScreens and removed the small advertisement in the addon that really upset people. All pull requests are welcomed!
