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~!

Hi there,

Firstly, don't extract the addon - no support is offered for this setup, and we recommend you only install it through the Workshop.

As for increasing the number of max textscreens though, check out the description of this addon:

sbox_maxtextscreens controls the maximum amount of text screens that each player can spawn. This defaults to 1. This cvar only exists on the server, so make sure it's set via RCON, or in something like server.cfg.

So simply add something like sbox_maxtextscreens 10 to your server.cfg file on a new line and restart your server.

ive tried that, but every time i restart the server its no longer in the server.cfg. Basically just gets deleted every time i restart.

You must have something else interfering on your server, sorry. On a fresh vanilla install, the above instructions work fine for me. If you can provide me steps to replicate the issue on a freshly installed gmod server, I'd be happy to take a closer look.

Nothing from lua can edit server.cfg meaning that none of these addons is able to break it from being the cfg file.

Make sure you are saving the file, you can check if it is set by putting "sbox_maxtextscreens" in the server console and checking the number after the "="
