v2 - Recode

[CodeBrauer]

Because more and more people use this loadingscreen and I am having more free time, I decided the best part would be recoding this whole project and make it easier. Also the technologies will be new, because this time I want to keep it simple.

Todos

• Recode in JS
• Welcome message with steam-player name
• Loading progress
• Edit everything with one config file
• Music player
• Load rules from config
• Get current player count on server
• Some example templates/layouts
• Find better anyorigin provider / maybe host one myself?
• Test it on a real garrys mod server with and without a linked workshop collection

Share your ideas and feedback so v2.0 should get better and better!

I have a feeling that V2 is going to be a lot better... Are you going to use PHP in V2?

[miguel456]

You could post the roadmap in a Trello blog... I would be a good idea I think

[CodeBrauer]

@miguel456 - No, just pure Javascript. I have to make a small workaround for the Steam-WebAPI-call, but it should be doable

[CodeBrauer]

Demo is here: http://cdn.rawgit.com/CodeBrauer/gmod-loadingscreen/v2.0/index.html?steamid=76561198051267973&mapname=cs_office

But I have to test it on a real garrysmod server, to ensure the functions really work. Currently everything is just filled by demo.js with some demo data according to the gmod wiki

[CodeBrauer]

Also the solution with anyorigin.com is not the best, I will look after a better solution.

Because i didn't found a better solution I made a small own one: https://github.com/CodeBrauer/ignorecors

Update

Because now.sh also has only limited usage + a delay if the app sleeps, I have to find a better way.

well im kinda sad it looks fine in Chrome but when i connect to my server the loading screen is just broken

[CodeBrauer]

@XproGrunds Can you provide a screenshot?

[XproGrunds]

@CodeBrauer well i dont know what i mest up here

[XproGrunds]

@CodeBrauer Well i finaly got it so it doesn't look broken now i only have 3 things that is still broken the steam logo and the name is not comming up and the info and rules is cut in half

[XproGrunds]

@XproGrunds Can you provide a screenshot?

yes

[Torbikini]

Yeah, I'm having the same issue too. Not sure if it's just because I'm using the demo one, but something is off. The gradient is missing too.
I'm using this: sv_loadingurl "https://cdn.rawgit.com/CodeBrauer/gmod-loadingscreen/v2.0/index.html?steamid=%s&mapname=%m"

That's the outcome.

[CodeBrauer]

I've made some small changes, can you test it again?

I'm not anymore into gmod and have no time testing this screen. I just wanted to provide a free and open source good-looking screen.

[CodeBrauer]

Try this sv_loadingurl:

https://raw.githack.com/CodeBrauer/gmod-loadingscreen/302a401aeef537c24b55f8c44c2b6168db5b4960/index.html?steamid=%s&mapname=%m

[Torbikini]

Yeah, I really like your loading screen and think it's a lot better than the premium offerings. I really appreciate that you're still working on this despite not being interested in Garry's Mod anymore. I tried the URL above and it kinda works:

The blue overlay is missing and it doesn't display properly.

[delwig]

I guess everyone having the same issue then? with the loading screen looking like the image above?

[XproGrunds]

@delwig have seen some servers that got it working fine but i wonder how they did it

[hofq]

I have the same Problem like @cookieman768 but i dont know how to repair it on my own Webspace, if any person knows how to do it pls let me know about it. I custumized this a lot and wont waste it.
