Changelog of Gmod Store Builder

⚡ Client-side Optimization
I've implemented a brand new translation system aimed at enhancing performance and reducing overall size. Now, initialization occurs only once, regardless of the number of installed scripts. Previously, each of my scripts would initialize individually on the client-side, which, with a total of 51 scripts, could lead to slowdowns. With this update, a single initialization will handle all 51 scripts and future ones, optimizing both the client and the overall experience.

Reduction in client-side code size.

❌ Removed
Removed certain icons such as flags, reducing the size of the workshop ressources download.

✔️ Patch:
Patch Lua Error: [nordahl_store_builder] .../cl_store_builder.lua:812: attempt to index upvalue 'model' (a nil value)

✔️ Patched:
This update fixes the problem when you can't apply a model different from the base money. This means that cfg.Credit_Model will be dissociated from cfg.Money_Model. In order to assign another money to another type of money such as Credits.

If you use custom models for credits on your server, this update is for you. If you've disabled it because you don't need it, you can ignore it.

✔️ Patched :
When dropping a stack of items from inventory (Gmod Advanced Inventory System). For example, 5 medkits. The quantity of items that fit in the stack of a single entity is taken into account. So if you sell 1 medkit at $1. It will be sold for $5 because there are 5 of them.

✔️ Patched :
Lua Error Patch [nordahl_store_builder] */cl_store_builder.lua:138: attempt to concatenate local 'mdl' (a nil value)

🧱 Improved :
- cfg.item_no_img was removed from the config file. This allowed to display this image instead of the item images without spawnicones.

+ cfg.Image_Entity_Icon = 1, has been added, it allows to display the spawn icons in priority. If they don't exist, the 3D models will be displayed as a backup. This means that the standard icon for objects without icons is no longer displayed. If disabled it will only display the 3D icons.

+ cfg.Image_Model_Icon = 1, has been added, it allows to generate an icon of the absent item from its model.

✔️ Patched :
The name of the item is displayed in the store summary instead of the item 's class name.

⚠️ If you already have your icons this update is not important for you. Otherwise the items must be replaced in the store to see the 3D icons because in the previous version the model was not a registered option.

🚀 Added :
Added the possibility to choose to disable the possibility for the merchant to sell and buy in order to make special merchants for selling and others for buying.

To do this add an empty field in the text configuration area to disable the choice line in the dialog.

+Question 21 Added in the Wiki about this new feature.

🧱 Improved :
Change the UI to show display name rather than the class name.

Yo go to buy the "Repair Kit 100%" it said "Select "vc_pickup_healthkit_100" with money (2,000 $)"

Now : "Select "Repair Kit 100%" with money (2,000 $)".

✔️ Patched :
Corrects a translation mistake.

Now the Gmod Store Builder NPCS sells items but also buys items, since the version 3.3 Gmod Store Builder also becomes a buyer. All you have to do is to physically present the items for sale in front of him. He will propose you his price (the one you will have configured in his configuration menu).

🚀 Added :
+Add a New line in the dialog to sell after placing the items to sell in front of him.
+New words have been added in the translation

🗜️ Optimisation :
+There are several files and folders that are no longer needed to provide the same result. The goal is to reduce the size of the client-side code provided when the player connects.
Don't forget to completely delete the addon files before installing 3.3.

✔️ Patched :
+ The Lua refresh will no longer create duplicate NPCs.

🚀 Added :

cfg.DarkRP_gamemode = 1 -- 0 = You dont use DARKRP variables, 1 = You Use the money system of DarkRP (you must have DarkRP installed)

Drop the amount of money you want on the ground.
Possibility to display the money only in the wallet instead of the HUD for those who want to lighten the HUD.
Give the amount of money you want to the player in front of you without spawning the money on the server. (Secure method since another user won't be able to steal the money on the ground, and also more efficient since the server doesn't need to spawn the item)

🧱 Improved :
Decrease the chances of conflict with darkrp by making a system that does not depend on it.

🚀 Added :
Add variable Money_Lost_when_die : The user loses a percentage of the money he has in his inventory.

In the config file :
cfg.Money_Lost_when_die=50 -- 50% is amount of money lost when the user die. 0 = OFF

🚀 Added :
Uses its own database. Players will get their money back when they log in and come back to play on your server. Even without DarkRP installed.

If DarkRP is not installed the following variables have been rewritten to allow the scripts that depend on them to run anyway.

player:getMoney()
player:addMoney(money_amount)
player:setMoney(money_amount)
player:getCredit()
player:addCredit(credit_amount)
player:setCredit(credit_amount)
