Beb Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Name: Beb RP Rank: CT PVT Beb Suggestion: Hi everyone, not sure if I'm allowed to do this but I might as well shoot my shot. Some of you may remember me, most of you probably don't. I was a staff member on Icefuse a few years back and switched over to Synergy the day the community was made. What many of you may not know about me is that for the last two-three years I have been studying Computer Science. When thinking of a new language I would like to learn one of the first things that popped in my mind was GMOD and this server in general. As great as the server is there are many issues that I want to help resolve, mainly streamlining and overhauling existing systems. One of the systems I thought of was the current arrest system. My new system will give Shock Troopers / Temple Guard a simple command to gather info on the arrested player, write a report on the arrested player, and make the job more efficient and accurate. It all works through a simple and easy to understand GUI. TLDR: I'm an old player wanting to start developing GMOD addons and I have one that I think would be perfect for the server. It will make writing arrest reports a lot easier. Implementation: Simple as typing a command, can be fully optional for Shock/TG if they chose to continue to write reports the old fashion way. Workshop content if applicable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1945867545 If there are concerns of suggestions I would be more than happy to edit the addon to the servers exact needs. Other: Want to see what else I am working on? I would love to make more content for the server in the future https://trello.com/b/HJiozFvB/glua-projects Edited January 6, 2020 by Beb 1 Report Link to comment

Beb Posted December 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 13 minutes ago, Regional said: Like honestly, honestly this is a pro gamer move. +1 On a side note. Can it notify people who've been arrested on a whitelist/battalion to make it easier for Officers in a battalion to use the command and see if their troopers been a bad boy? Cause if so that'll save a lot of people time from searching Shocks spreadsheets and making bots to notify the battalions when someone can just run a command. I will absolutely look into that, thanks for the suggestion Link to comment

Crimson Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 @Beb Is it possible for the information to be linked to Excel or Google Sheets or just a database? Im just asking due to how Shock Currently Files its Arrest and I am curious if it helps us. I did things for the server. idk what you want from me. Link to comment
Fyi Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Maybe make the command and ARLog link to pop up on staff members and shock screens for active AOS? Def not 100% priority but might add some neat criminal chases. 2 Report hi. Link to comment
Daytona211 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 -1 This is an awesome system cudos to you Beb on the development That being said most discord bots are currently reliant on the shock arrest log google sheet so unless we maintain both this new !arlog and the old spreadsheet it will be hard for commanders to easily be notified of arrests.

I'm looking into a way that I can link it to that, but if my system goes in the direction I want it to there will be no need for discord bots, commanders and officers will have an in game notification telling them when, and why the troopers from their battalion were arrested. If it's the consensus of the community that they would prefer to stick to the arrest alert system we have now I can model the addon to fit that need. Link to comment
Crimson Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 @Beb The issue with pinging in game is with activity. Not every officer will be on to deal with that. We can still manually do it but it will require shock to invade all Discords to do so. If its not possible then we can make a work around. I did things for the server. idk what you want from me.

Holo Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) This might be a stupid question but i dont know anything about gmod modding/coding so ill ask. When we arrest someone i assume it will pop out as adverted? or is that something that we will need to do ourselfs Edited December 31, 2019 by Holo Mistakes were made Link to comment
CruorFlumine Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Im gonna give this a -1 this does sound nice, having a fully automated thing, but until its developed further, then I would much rather stick with our current system. Good work though and keep it up! Link to comment

When it is done, the arrest will be uploaded to the central arrest database that will then notify commanders and officers of battalions that their troopers were arrested. Link to comment
Retired Founder Joah Posted January 24, 2020 Retired Founder Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 EO //Denied EO //Locked We are currently working on an automated logging system as is (for the entire server that will log via an external source, not the server box itself to assist with performance.). This is extremely un-optimized and comes from the Steam Workshop. I'd recommend in the future with logs to discuss a possibility of something to be done rather than linking something off the workshop as they typically are respectfully put as unoptimized. This looks pretty interesting to say the least, and I like that you have the dedication. However there is no reason to wear down on server performance when you can simply log this information via a document and place on a google document sheet for the public to see. I personally think this will drag on the server performance to pull unnecessary lag. Link to comment
