Hi! Youtuber Urbanichka founded bug and use him to destroy servers.
The bug is: If you have Fading Door TOOL You can select all functions in it like activate immediately, etc and click to Text screen and Owner text is removed and you can't delete THIS TEXT this is very bad, you only need to clear the card, but the players are playing. I hope you understand I used google translator.

Subj. It will help in map changing when need to copy 10+ textscreens with server info to new map.
Hello. I am able to use the permaprop tool for every other item but on textscreens it hits but it doesn't say or do anything. This is a big problem on my server and I need help.
Implement ability to choose / change fonts?
I own a server running on ubuntu linux and I have restarted the server many times but the tool gun for the text screen will no show up. Is it because Iam running the server on Linux?
Hello,
Every time I try to make a perma textscreen, it says 'Textscreen made permament and saved.', but when I restart the server, it isn't there. Please help. I'm switching hosts and it works on my old server.
Thanks,
TekBob
Most of the textscreen menu is blank below the reset buttons. When you open the tool, the console gives this error:
[ERROR] addons/3d2dtextscreens/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/textscreen.lua:165: attempt to index upvalue 'textscreenFonts' (a nil value)
I feel like you should be able to edit the text/logo when you select the tool in the Spawnmenu.
For example:
Right now its set as the default logo.
If the addon had a setting to change the logo (Whether it being by Imgur and other image providers, or by the addons material folder) and or text, it would look like this in the config:
`
textscreenLogo = "image" -- Two options, image and text. Text is for something custom. image is for making the header of the tool to something custom or the default. You can use links that end in .png, .jpeg and .jpg.
textscreenHeaderText = "3D2D Textscreens" -- This has no effect unless textscreenLogo is set to "text"
`
I hope you take this into consideration.
Hello. My staff roles are mod, admin, management, and superadmin. My mod and management roles cannot permaprop textscreens because they arent default gmod groups. Is it possible to make it so I can add these groups so they can perma the textscreens? Thank you
So I used to own a StarwarsRP server, I have the workshop collection setup and it automatically downloads the addons. I had 3D2D Textscreens on that server and it worked fine, then I started a DarkRP server and that is where the problem started. When I got the workshop collection setup with 3D2D Textscreens it gave me "Error, cannot read the downloaded file". Every other addon was fine. Then I got the github file and i transfered it using FileZilla to my server, still doesnt work. I have no idea how to fix this issue.
I've used some of the code for this to make a blackboard addon for a friend, and was hoping to sell it on GModStore. Naturally, I have added features and changed things, but I need permission to sell it if I don't rewrite the whole thing. I have already obtained Dellkan's permission via steam, and he said the best way to ask you (James) would be through an issue on github. I can privately send you the current addon to inspect if you'd like. Thanks for your time!
Could you add the "Orbitron" font in 3D2D text screens. It has an Open Font License
Look. It's not my addons, you just need to fix it. I disabled them, and still. idk wth I am supposed to do. >:(
All I did was place a text screen I'm unable to move it with my physgun at all it's like it's frozen
When we spawn a textscreens the prop is colliding with doors, and others props.
Its possible to make an update for making the props nocolliding on spawn?
Sorry for my bad english
Hey I noticed you are making insane amounts of fonts with different sizes.
This is NOT needed and may cause client crashes/issues.
Instead what you should be doing is using the 3D2D scale modifier (Which in your addon is set to .25 and is not used for an odd reason).
can you make a viewdistance convars/configurable for this addons?
that should be useful as hell because 25textscreens kills fps....
Dear developer, How the f*ck are perma textscreens still spawning even after I delete the sammyserver_textscreens.txt file in the data directory? This is a really big problem and really, REALLY annoying. Please tell me how to fix this witchcraft. ~djsime1
Edit: Re-installed addon + deleted data file, textscreens are still there. WTF?
Edit 2: I even edited the core lua file so it couldnt read/write data file, textscreens are still there. How?
I am having an issue where when ever a superadmin puts down a textscreen it is automatically made permanent. What should I do to fix it?
Maybe a option to install Custom Fonts using URL or pasting them in addons? Something like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1602122798&searchtext=Font
After creation, textscreen refuses to orientate "flush" with the surface, if moved away from it. Likely cause is the prop we're using.

so recently my friend gave me his server files because he wanted to stop playing gmod but then when i was gonna change all the textscreens they woulndt un perma here is the error i get when i try to unperma it
[ERROR] addons/3d2d-textscreens-master/lua/autorun/textscreens_util.lua:109: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
Can you add the option to use a bigger font? I want to make a store with my friends on my server but the max font size is super small, even when I manually update the number past the slider it does not change it.
Hello!
So I have a very very weird bug. For some odd reason, my server crashes at spawning textscreens. It's not a normal crash either, the console stays up, but it freezes. The server is active until I try to connect, at which, once it hits "Spawning Textscreens" it just freezes, and after a short while I get kicked out with no error message. My console doesn't update after this, and gives me 0 errors or logs as to what is causing this. All I know is it happens after "Spawning Textscreens"
I've tried these things:
Thank you for your time, hope we can solve this!
[ERROR] addons/3d2d_aurebesh_textscreens_1191355200/lua/entities/sammyservers_textscreen/cl_init.lua:109: bad argument #1 to 'GetTextSize' (string expected, got nil)
this is what I get when I load in.. please fix it or tell me how to fix it.. thanks!
Link to problem:
http://forum.darkrp.com/threads/text-screen-error.5425/
Hello,
I am not sure if you check your comments for the text screens but I decided to write it here. All textscreens that are placed down are invisible. It would be nice if you made a patch for it.
Thanks,
Awesomenessman
Hi, made a comment on the Steam Workshop page on Textscreens, I would like this feature to be added:
In the color section of the text, make an option where you can make the text cycle through RGB colors (rainbow)
Just another thought adding onto color changing, possibly add a gradient color option, too. More colors with the text would open up way more possibilities especially for servers like DarkRP and servers using text-screens to give info to players and make it pop.
Now since 3day i dont see my textscren permanent "im superadmin". and the players cant ues this item ... :/ help pls and thank for reply to steam workshop
[3D2D Textscreens] lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/textscreen.lua:56: attempt to call method 'SetLine' (a nil value)
When I spawn it I noticed that the text can not be combined with the object for which it was created, and it does not create exactly (I writed on Steam)(Writed by Google Translate ๐)
There's a image that shows the glitch:
I wan't some help or update with repair (and update with better quality for small sizes of text)
So im running a DarkRP server and everytime we are trying to save the textscreens into the map. it doesn't doo any effect.
i tried to reinstall the addon few times and to remove the data files, but nothing is changing. do you know why we have that kind of problem ?
thank you for your help..
Hi Cherry,
I am working on a small script that allows to save the textscreens every minute using the console.
At first, I had two issues:
These errors are due to the console being considered invalid and as a non-player, some functions such as PLAYER:ChatPrint()
cannot work.
For the moment, I can't do otherwise than have this error every save, but it would be cool to make sure that executing the command through the console without error.
Thank you and have a good day!
Hello, i've installed the addon onto my server and its working fine, i wanted to make the max textscreen amount higher, i looked all over online and found out how but theres no files to edit.
I tried to extract the files but instead of 1 folder i got 3-4 different files/folders
so i played around with it moved things around put things in certain places but nothing.
im using WinSCP to transfer files. Please help me~!

Is there a way to get more Textscreens for Admins or Superadmins on a gmod server for like ULX or Fadmin (Darkrp)
Alright, so a couple months ago one of my friends would engine error, and removing textscreens fixed the issue and i readded it last night and now it is back.
Players will only recieve engine errors with no context.
I know for a fact it is textscreens as i have removed it and players can join, then when i add it again they engine error.
For some reason i was able to get ingame and now all of the perma textscreens are weapons
you will find a picture below
alot of my players have commented on the workshop page as i run a popular server
sorry for the workshop spam
If you can help me fix this issue (obviously i need textscreens) I will gladly donate to you
Thanks for reading my report
Geno
I can't legit remove textscreens.
I tried deleting the data of it
i tried making it perma and again but no work
help please.
[ERROR] addons/3d2d_textscreens_109643223/lua/entities/sammyservers_textscreen/cl_init.lua:37: bad argument #1 to 'GetTextSize' (string expected, got nil)

I've created a map for Gmod and your addon works perfectly fine before I pack any custom content into my map using VIDE. Once the map has custom content packed inside I encounter a bug where text flickers and disappears at random angles/distances and locations around the map. I'm completely stumped as to what could be causing this and any help would be gladly appreciated. I've recorded an example of the issue which seems to happen on two different maps that I've created, both have custom content packed: https://media.giphy.com/media/RicihyoDoa4Zvgo1YW/giphy.gif
like the title says, text screens are almost completely unremovable after some time. The only way to remove them is via making them permanent and making the unpermanent shortly thereafter.
It's a DarkRP server, no other prop protection settings except FPP.
When i load my server up have the textscreen addon installed have the sbox commadn up i press 3D2D Textscreen and when i spawn it is invisible and i can pick it up plz help
Hey Cherry, this has been a low-key exploit for a while but a big youtuber just leaked it so I reckon now would be a good time to report it.
Basically text screens can be turned into fading doors using the fading door tool, once faded, they can't be removed by admins via physgun or remover tool unless they're unfaded. Dont know if there is anything you can do to prevent this on the text screen side.
Anyways, deuces โ
This is a very minor bug which came about because of the face check which only allows one face to be drawn. The check uses ply:GetShootPos()
which will not necessarily be the position the player is looking from when using third person. It could even be considered a feature to stop your screen from being filled up with text when you've walked past a screen in third person(the camera, following the player from behind), by which point you don't need to see it anyway.
I don't think much can be done about it without rolling back the performance update but it's probably not going to be noticed by most people.
Hiya.
Whenever I join any multiplayer server that uses 3d2d textscreen, I cant use the presets option, or the font option. Where it would normally display the presets drop down menu, nothing is there and it just says line 1 and has the text boxes. Presets works perfectly fine in single player but for some reason just wont work on these servers. Is this a client side, or server side issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
As you may or may not know, Garry released a new update today (you can read more about it here ------> http://www.garrysmod.com/2015/03/09/15-03-09/ ). This update has broken many addons. Most are the problems are hud and gui based as Garry has made changes to these systems. As for right now 3D2D Text Screens don't even show up in my tool menu which makes me think this addon was disabled due to errors. It worked fine before the update. I would like to be able to use this addon for my server in the future but as for right now I cannot.
When we first started using textscreens we were able to make them Permanent and reload the map without having them disappear, but now every time we try to make them permanent they don't save on the map.
Hey james, I posted on steam for some help then later realized this is the place to be.
So I noticed previously someone mentioned the whole Invisible text screen bug and you marked it as "unable to replicate" I'm not sure if I'm having the exact same problem as the other guy but this is something to consider I think.
When I place a screen onto a prop, then perma prop the prop, and make the text screen permanent.. All of the sudden the text screen becomes Invisible but only when the perma-prop is behind it.. So now I have a huge tutorial that no longer serves a purpose cause nobody can see the text screens as they are invisible when they're in front of the props behind them!
Would appreciate help ASAP as we're just about to launch our server and I want to include this tutorial as I believe it's important! Thanks in advanced brotha
