◾Add Custom Descriptions

How to apply custom descriptions to entities.

▸Enable Custom Descriptions

• Open lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_entities.lua

• Change cfg.ent.bAllowCustomDesc to true

▸Create Custom Descriptions

• Open lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_entities.lua

• Connect to your gmod server

• Open the Q menu (spawn menu / gmod menu)

• Locate the entity you wish to add a custom description to

• Right click on the entity / weapon and select "Copy to Clipboard".

• Create a new line within the file lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_entities.lua

cfg.ent.desc[ 'entity_name' ] = 'Your description'

• Save the file and go back to gmod.

• If the edited item is selected already; select something else and then re-select your edited item so that the data refreshes.

▸Important Notes

[1] Ensure that any entity / weapon you add to the descriptions config file is inserted with the following structure:

• Remove any S P A C E S and replace them with underscores ( _ )

• No capital letters

By default; garry's mod should do this automatically when you select "Copy to Clipboard", but there have been rare cases where certain custom entities include spaces.

[2] If for some reason your custom descriptions do not take effect; try reconnecting to the server OR enable regeneration mode by opening lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_dev.lua and setting:

lua\arivia\sh\cfg\sh_cfg_dev.lua

cfg.dev.regeneration        = true

Turn this OFF once you are done editing your descriptions.
