Yeah this shit doesn't work

Howdy, I've been having an issue where the sprays simply don't work in multiplayer (tested on both dedicated and P2P servers). The sound plays, and the active player sprays menu indicates that the sprays do exist to some extent, but they simply won't render. x86-64 branch is enabled. Works just fine in singleplayer however. Mod works great otherwise, love it!

Would be nicer if it had a stand alone github so it's easier to pull from there. ^^;

I haven't tested that, but I don't think so.

Do they stay in saves?

I'm currently using my own domain name running a Spring boot webapp, I'm pretty much just testing images put into the static directory.

(this makes them accessible from the base path followed by the actual file, like a public folder of any real website)

It seems to do this for such cases.

I've noticed in my testing that Discord in particular seems to handle image URLs in a peculiar way, and so they usually won't load. I've been meaning to get it to work, but it's been a low priority. Try using test images on some other websites and see if they work.

I have a similar issue to the comments below.

I've customized a whitelist for spraymesh, the custom domain URL is registered as valid & debug seems to be successful. However seemingly it will not display. It pops up as "loading" for a second for me as well & then is invisible.

discord doesn't work

unfortunately, that did not help, I assume it's a network issue, since I am in Russia and we have a lot of sites blocked here

Switch to the 64-bit beta branch of Garry's Mod if you aren't already on it

for me when I spray it shows black square with "Loading spray" for a millisecond, but when it disappears there's no spray, just empty surface
in both multi and singleplayer

If you're adding this addon to a server via the Steam workshop, then there won't be a config in the lua/ folder. It's part of the addon .gma. What I recommend doing in that case is creating your own custom Lua file (make sure it runs on both client AND server) and set the variables that way. The documentation there is admittedly a bit confusing since I have to account for both people who add this addon to their server via Steam workshop as well as those who install the addon manually and edit the config file directly.

In the future to make this process more simple, I'm thinking of adding an admin menu for Sandbox gamemodes so that server admins/owners can change the config without having to know Lua coding.

You can find the config on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/chev2/gmod-addons/blob/main/addons/spraymesh_extended/lua/spraymesh/sh_config.lua

I cant find the Lua config file for the life of me, its not in the lua folder for ether locale or my server.

That bug should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know

i hate necro arc

if you have too much sprays menu crashes game during loading all images sometimes freezes whole pc is there way to more optimized image loading for menu

is anyone else experiencing the sprays only working in singleplayer? In multiplayer the sprays are invisible for me and my friends, but in single player it works, weird.

I love it man, keep up the good work

The config is inside the addon's files. You don't have to edit it directly, you can also create a new Lua file and add spraymesh.SPRAY_COOLDOWN=0 to it. Make sure the Lua file runs in the server realm, and runs after SprayMesh loads (so putting it in an Initialize hook should work).

But it is a bit complicated if you aren't familiar with GMod Lua. If more people want it, I might consider adding an admin settings menu in the Sandbox spawn menu for people who play in Sandbox, to make it easier to change the config.

Where the config tho? I can't understand where is "lua/spraymesh/sh_config.lua"

Okay, thank you so much

If you are a server owner then you can change the limit in the config (spraymesh.SPRAY_COOLDOWN). Otherwise, it's not possible to change.

Sprays are removed when the server is restarted, map changes or the map is reloaded. If you want to remove an individual player's spray, you will have to use a moderation addon like ULX and some custom Lua code to register a ULX command like !removespray.

do I can remove cooldown and limit? Also how to remove placed spray?

By default, SprayMesh Extended only whitelists specific websites, namely Imgur and Catbox. Try uploading a test image to Imgur or Catbox (Catbox seems to be down at this moment in time, however) and then copying and pasting the image URL into the spray manager. The outline of the input should turn green, meaning it is allowed to be used as a spray.

Also, the URL has to be a direct image URL, meaning it has to end in ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png" etc.

You can see what websites and image URL suffixes are whitelisted by clicking the "Help & Info" button in the spray manager. The whitelist will vary from server-to-server.

I cant put links in the thing, I don't know why it just always rejects any links, can I get some help?

ServerDL
Using ServerDL is rather simple, you need to have sv_allowdownload enabled and you need to mark the files that you want to be downloadable with resource.AddFile and resource.AddSingleFile after that clients will automatically download the content when they join your server. However this is considered obsolete as its incredibly slow at 64kb/s and you should avoid using it.

From what it seems, without a backdoor the only files that will be downloadable are the ones that are "marked" with resource add file. Which is nice! Seems the exploit is not as bad as it was

Alright, thanks

I've seen mixed reports on sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload still being exploitable. Some say yes, some say no (according to the Garry's Mod Discord, anyway). When it comes to my own servers, I always keep them disabled, as I don't need them for any functionality, and I don't even want to take the risk.

Are sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload still exploitable? Wondering if I need this addon

nvm

I put in accepted URLS and it doesnt work, any fix?

it looks like TGAImage [github.com] loads a TGA into a base64 encoded png, which might be low-fi enough for awesomeium. I tried to compile https://gist.github.com/EntranceJew/7dfc6230ba028db3f2644a92bc1995e1 to test but I got an error [gist.github.com] -- but whatever this page is doing [rafradek.github.io] probably has it figured out [github.com].

For bmp files, that should be straightforward to support. For VTF and TGA however, they're a little trickier as they wouldn't use the web rendering system, but they might still be doable. I'll look into it.

It would be nice if this supported tga/bmp/vtf files out of the box so that people with traditional sprays including funny mipmap tricks could still use them.

If you can't see sprays, make sure you are on the x86-64 beta branch of Garry's Mod. The compatibility of this addon on the main branch of the game is hit-or-miss.

O

I believe DSprays is its own standalone spray overhaul, so it likely won't work with SprayMesh Extended. You'll have to use one or the other.

Does this work with dsprays?
