✓ Elegant Printers - No bullshit, fun and easy. [GarrysMod] 1.2.5 - Oct 6th 2018

DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Elegant Printers is the printer script that just gets it right. While having the advantage of looking awesome, it gives you the right tools to create the DarkRP economy you want. Nowadays, I've noticed every modern printer is either bulky or over complicated. Here, all that matters is the tier of printer you want to purchase, how you're going to keep it full of ink and if you're willing to spend enough so that your printer doesn't end up exploding due to heat over time. Stack your compact printers, personalize their color, and just keep them safe and working while they do their thing.

Features

• No DRM!
• Works right off the bat, on the latest version of DarkRP.
• Custom models and textures, designed by The One Free-Man!
• Compact, colorable and sexy printer model (using the Color tool! (abuse-free!!!))
• Dynamic bodygroup and printing animation
• Stack printers on top of other printers!
• Ink cartridge model
• No FastDL required! The addon will let your clients download the content pack through the workshop automatically when they join your server.
• Gorgeous 3D2D Design
• Set an URL to your server's logo in the config, and it'll show up just right.
• Change the gradient, its direction and colors, as well as the text's brightness!
• Dynamic sticker on the printer's back, indicating of the owner!
• Ink system
• You have the choice to expand the amount of ink your printer can store. Would you rather stay isolated in your home, watching over that counter, or pack a few cartridges, and let it do its job while you go and do your thing?
• Not a fan? Just turn it off in the config! You can also turn it off for specific tiers.
• Custom heating / cooling / damage system
• If we go boom, then we go boom all the way.
• Simplistic heat-up system. The first time you buy a printer, it'll "heat up" and lose health over time, unless you purchase high quality cooling for it. As a bonus, it keeps it quiet!
• Not a fan? Just turn it off in the config! You can also turn it off for specific tiers.
• In need of maintenance? Just slap a repair part on your babies and they'll be good as new!
• No UI at all! Just throw the buyable upgrades at it and it'll do the work for you.
• Tiers: Through the easy to understand and powerful configuration file, it is undeniably easy to create your own tiers of printers. Customize every aspect of the printer for each tier you want to create.
• ItemStore support!
• Vrondakis Level System support!
• Print Bonus Event: A command called elegant_printers_triggerevent is available. It lets you start an event on the server, across reboots, that lets you boost the amount of money every printer makes for a certain time. By default, it is a 50% bonus that lasts 3 hours.
• Extremely handy to gather hype and players on your server, or to serve as a donation package!
• VIP Bonuses: In the same fashion as the print bonus event, you can let specific usergroups benefit from a permanent printing bonus, or let them upgrade past the default upgradeable limit of ink.
• Restrict specific tiers to specific groups!
• Optimized: Coded from the ground up, and with 5 years of GLua experience, I made sure to gather everything I know in order to create a lag free experience, for both your clients and server.
• Complete, extensive and yet straightforward configuration file!
• Just set it up, and your printers as well as their upgrades will be available in the F4 menu.
• Lifetime updates, bugfixes and support!

Guided Configuration
Only requires basic Lua knowledge, just as easy as editing DarkRP jobs!

I made sure to make every single option editable with as little effort as possible, while keeping it powerful and simple to understand, with lots of clarification and helpful comments.

If you have any issue understanding how to configure the add-on, please don't be afraid to shoot me a support ticket.

The link above is just the default config, it might not always get updated over time as the script evolves.

Installation
Same as any basic add-on!

1. Unzip "elegant-printers.zip" into your server's add-ons directory.

2. Make sure the "elegant-printers" directory is in there before freaking out about it not working!

3. Change the config in "lua/elegant_printers/sh_config.lua" to your liking

4. ???

5. Profit! Leave a review!

F.A.Q
Q: It doesn't work!!!

A: Unless you give me some error, I can't help you with just that. Create a support ticket giving me a complete error log with steps to reproduce and make sure you installed it properly. It might also be a conflicting add-on.

Support
If a script error / bug has shown up, something looks wrong or you simply have a feature suggestion, add me on Steam or create a support ticket! I should be able to do something about it.
