Computer Mod (suggestion)

[Beefyrulz]

this doesn't Sound too hard to make but i was wondering if anyone could make a kind of PC mod like in Gmod (im not saying it has to perfectly match, just a similar concept), i've seen the PC mod in gmod, it's cool, but since it's being fit into BL, maybe just make it kind of like one simple GUI that you can (or the owner of the brick or computer generating object) can change what is typed in on it, and maybe make kind of link like things, like when you click it, it Changes what the gui says (And just as a commodity that i would like, is a kind of old green text black background kind of thing, i always thought that looked kind of cool)

Now i've said this many times before but i have no scripting experience, so i haven't a clue as to this project's difficulty, so don't go flaming me like a pork roast, I honestly don't know...

Anyways, That's my suggestion, and if someone makes this you can take all the credit, i just want a mod like this REALLY bad  :/

*update: Just as an added note for the "Pc Mod" that im suggesting, all i really need it to do is open up a text GUI, no more no less...( and possibly with link like things that allow the gui to change what is currently shown on the player' screen, like an example being:
Key: Blue= Link | Red= Hint | Black=Text

                                          [Message]   [Line Number]
OnActivate>Client>PcMod>[Current weapons in Stock:] [1]
                                    [Pistols] [2]
                                    [Assault Rifles] [3]
and then
         [Link Line#] As in the line with a link in it
OnLineClick#[2]>client>PcMod>[Pistols] [1]
                                          [Usp.45] [2]
                                          [Magnum] [3]
                                          [D.Eagle] [4]
                                          [Back] [5]

I know some questions might be "What if they're are two link's in one line?" well i was thinking maybe have Link Number's instead of link line numbers, so like, i have a link to assault rifles, then pistols, then heavy equipment, so it could be like this:

OnActivate>Client>PcMod>[Assault Rifles,Pistols,Heavy Equipment] [1]

OnLinkClick[2]>Client>PcMod>[Pistol's Available] [1]
                                        [D.Eagle] [2]
                                        [Covert Pistol] [3]
                                        [Back] [4]
Anyways, you get the point right?

well i did make a makeshift kind of thing, it's all chat events, but it's a little spammy, not everyone would think to do pageup to see the other info, No organized as well... you know, that stuff :/

I hear the Blockland engine (Torq) could be change in 2 easy steps to make it compatible with Youtube.

Are you being serious because of what you're talking about is a engine change. I heard it was like a thousand dollar or something.

Badspot already owns the engine, and has made tons of huge modifications.
Convincing him to make the required changes for this would be difficult.

Ok the "Engine" is the main script source BL runs on, so it takes time & money to tweak it. Thus making it hard to convience Badspot to change it. So I've heard.

thats exactily what you do
remember this: if i can do it you can

The engine, or game engine, basically does all the core functionality that TorqueScript can't, think like rendering objects, physics, and sound.
When someone says that something would 'require engine changes' they mean changes to the C++ source code to the engine.
Badspot already owns the source code and has made several changes to it, making more changes wouldn't cost any money, just time, and I personally don't see Youtube as a useful enough to convince Badspot to make the change.

Ok well idc about the Engine, i want feedback on my original topic, not the stupid engine >:O if i wanted info on the "Engine" i would go to the general discussion forums and talk about it there :/

I don't understand exactly what you want
I haven't played Gmod in a few years and I have know idea what the pcmod is

On Gmod PcMod is basicly a mod that allows you to have your own personal computer in-game, with a desktop, start menu, music player's, firewall, in-server chat rooms, and things like that, also it is an actual 3-D thing that you can move around and spawn in-game.
What i'm asking for is something Similar Not Exact, all i want is event's (or something) that allows you to make a GUI show up on the player's screen and display text, nothing fancy. Although if you could make it like PCmod id Gmod, that would be awesome too, but i just need the basic text (And as I said before, I would love to have link-like things where you click it, and it changes what the player see's on the GUI) Because this would work for many things, Clan Records, Roleplaying, Server Records, Records in general, Server Info, Rules, and many more things that i can't think of at the moment. I could try to make some images of show you sort of what i want

[Beefyrulz]

This is what im looking for (at least something similar) this is just something i whipped up in paint real quick (i got paint.NET but i only like it for making transparent things)

and then when you click "Building" it goes to this:

Something like that (where it says "Welcome to PC Mod V1.0" Don't make that a default thing, that would get annoying :/

and yes I know i mis-spelled "find" in the second picture >_>
the Font i used in MS paint is "Fixedsys" and i just realized i forgot the X Boxes *not the system, i mean the thing that allows you to close the GUI" But whatever, this is just a picture to let you know what i want more or less, it's not like it's a functioning thing... o_o

I put it in a Quote to make it a little less... Big... and spammy

VCE again. Works fine for this.
