i'm trying to update GP2-framework in

[vapid aspen]

add modelsrc/* to blacklist

[tepid yarrow]

but if i add all of them to the blacklist and then update it will BREAK the addon for gosh sake

[vapid aspen]

then I don't see any other way to put it on the workshop

[tepid yarrow]

i did notice meetric used powershell for installers as an alternative way to get Gwater 2 working (or installed) i wonder if i can use that too

it might save myself some time

[vapid aspen]

gwater 2 uses external modules so it is possible for it

[digital tangle]

@tepid yarrow

ignored paths on the right side of your screenshot

[tepid yarrow]

well i already did that before but i'm already planning to create .bat files that uses powershell to install the blacklisted files automaticly to the addon folder

[digital tangle]

why..? what do end users need the model source files for

[tepid yarrow]

i also meant the scripts folder too

[digital tangle]

those should be allowed

[vapid aspen]

only for vehicles

[digital tangle]

cringe

[tepid yarrow]

well bad news Gmpublisher still blacklists it

[tepid yarrow]

Like LOOK at this

this is what the addon needs there's so many of them

it's so long

[tepid yarrow]

it contains 106 script files to be exact

[digital tangle]

hm

[digital tangle]

are they just soundscripts? what do those files look like?

[tepid yarrow]

well...

that's how long it is

[digital tangle]

keyvalues; didn't niknaks/SF2 make its own soundscape system?
cc @verbal sonnet

[tepid yarrow]

well i'm not sure

after all these are coded by Urakolouy5 and not me but it's just me and my team such as femboy and pop4484 and Lixue trying to revive this addon

it was abandoned originally

now also URAK didn't mind about a revive after all

in fact the archived version from URAK said this

@digital tangle

@vapid aspen

[vapid aspen]

idk about SF2, but I'm pretty sure you'll have to create some kind of soundscape system of your own that will meet the workshop requirements

or just support this addon only on github

[tepid yarrow]

but without a big team the development will be very slow and trying to change the soundscape system is highly time Consuming

[digital tangle]

it all starts with a single step

[vapid aspen]

I think this is why the original addon was abandoned

No i'm not gonna let that forked version have that same fate

not again

@haughty flame any advices?

[haughty flame]

Sorry, I don't know!

[tepid yarrow]

but is The project itself Great atleast?

[verbal sonnet]

SF1 got one, but there are a few issues since the parser in SF1 isn't as good as NikNaks.
When you override the soundscape system, you also need to override default entity behavior and a few other things. Or your client crash.

[verbal sonnet]

Scripts can do more than just soundscapes and vehicles. That is prob why it is only allowed inside PAK within maps.
It isn't tested, but maybe you can achieve something similar using: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/sound.AddSoundOverrides , if it allows you to target outside the script folder.

Otherwise your only option is to hardcode the sounds and block the originals with https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/GM:EntityEmitSound

[tepid yarrow]

but again there's 106 script files in the folder i am not sure if i can do all of that

[verbal sonnet]

Soundscapes are a closed system since messing with it will result in an instant crash. (If a file / node or something else is missing)

Idk why gp2 needs 106 soundscript files. Seems unreasonable for 8 maps, so they're most likely for overriding default portal maps or something.

The mod will work without the soundscript files, and your console should tell you if they're missing.
So what I would do is to port the project and check what is missing from there.

[tepid yarrow]

well because on portal 2 there's actually 117 maps

and GP2 is focused on making portal 2 maps function

[verbal sonnet]

Each map should already have the soundscape files in them

At least it is common

If you mount Portal content, you will also mount the soundscape files

[tepid yarrow]

well those soundscape files were coded by URAKOLOUY5 and i'm new so i don't much knowledge about it

i'm just revivng this addon with a team and i'm still learning Glua

[verbal sonnet]

Thats why I suggest ignoring them from now and figure out what is missing later

Idk why the original creator try to override the soundscape files, or what GP2 is. But I do know you can run the game fine while missing a few textures, sounds or soundscape files. You'll just be notified in the console.

[tepid yarrow]

well you should know what is GP2 is by checking these descriptions

https://github.com/fahadturki653/GP2-REWORKED

[tepid yarrow]

@verbal sonnet check this first

and also the workshop https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3412105952&searchtext=gp2

[verbal sonnet]
