Progress Update 6/12/14 (2.3)

December 6, 2014 - Neffelian | 2 Comments

Again, sorry for the silence. Apparently feeling well before was a fluke and I woke up the next day incapable of working on Vermilion. As such, I haven't managed to do much. I had planned to release 2.3 today, but it is missing a few features that I really want to add before I take a break from active development during December and early January, namely zone management GUIs and finishing incomplete features. If worst comes to worst, I'll disable the incomplete features and push what is working to the workshop sometime next week and push occassional bug fixes after that.

As well as adding new features, I ran some checks on the networking that Vermilion does, and found that the most worrying network message is broadcasting the permissions to clients, clocking in at about 8kb each time this took place. Compared to the average of 100 bytes that a standard Vermilion network message uses, this is quite a lot. However, it only happens when a client is joining or the permissions are updated, not in a loop. As well as this, I have determined that Vermilion uses at least 64kb of RAM.

Calls to OnOpen for menu pages are now safe and will not lock up the menu if they break
Deprecated Updater panel component
Reworked current modules so that their menu pages do not use the Updater panel component
Refined memory viewer
Updated Spawnpoints GUI
Started adding Zones GUI
Started working on an in-game menu panel editor (part of the Developer Tweaks module)
Minor resource usage tweaks (removed some useless objects)

Progress Update 30/11/2014 (2.3)

November 30, 2014 - Neffelian | 0 Comments

Last progress update of November!

Sorry for the silence. I have been ill and felt a little burnt out after spending so long on Vermilion and I was starting to get bored of programming it. After writing an iOS app for a change, I realise now that programming a GMod addon is so much easier! To make up for my absence, here is a list of new features that I added and bugs I fixed today:

Refined the !jail commands
Vermilion now interacts directly with DarkRP.
Fixed crashbug on Linux (Linux appears to handle SteamIDs differently than OS X and Windows)
Modules are now registered like STOOLs and SENTs (they register into a global namespace declared during initialisation and registered automatically)
Modules can start disabled
Added developer module (starts disabled) (all it does at the moment is maps the "bot" concommands to chat to help me test)
Fixed bugs with GeoIP
Added !version
Added custom spawnpoints (a highly requested feature)
Menu requests new information for tabs when they are opened, not when the menu is opened
Added 'self-destruct' hooks (one-time hooks)
Vermilion's setup hooks now self-destruct to free memory
Fixed Vermilion 2 identifying itself in as Vermilion 1 in the logs
VoIP graphs can now be personalised (you can change how other users see your VoIP graph)
Created second menu command 'vermillion_menu' in case people misspell 'Vermilion'
Added prop-protection buddy lists
Automatic cleanup (a player's props are deleted when they leave the server, or after a delay)
Configuration reset button
The chat predictor will now explain why it cannot complete a request
The chat predictor can now be turned off on a client-by-client basis
Added new questions to the FAQ
Misc refinements on OS X and Linux

ShadowGhost0x01 Nov 19, 2017 @ 2:14am

I want to join the group and develop this addon plz|ω･`)

The prop protection doesent seem to work. When i have it enabled people cant physgun or use there own props? So like any reasonable person i just disabled it and got FPP (which i prefer anyways) but now whenever anyone spawns a prop Vermilion spits out an error and the prop becomes public... any ideas why?

Lustris Jun 12, 2017 @ 12:53am

After some research I found out that you had to deal with a similiar problem back in 2015. So the update broke it? Perhaps that's the case.

Lustris Jun 11, 2017 @ 11:50am

I seem to be spreading this issue... But again. Disabled all addons. Still gives errors. Does not open.
----
[Vermilion2 - Client] There was an error during startup and the menu did not get built. Please look for stack traces and report them ASAP.
