Intro

Welcome to the newest revolution in logging systems - this is Billy's Logs for GmodAdminSuite.

Your Garry's Mod server is a chaotic environment. Here at GmodAdminSuite, we don't like chaos - and nor do your staff! So, we made Billy's Logs: the most optimized, organized, beautiful, feature-rich and easy to use logging system on the market, and we can't wait for you to join us.

What's a logging system?

A logging system is a tool used by you and your admins to be the overwatch of your server - catch minges in the act, present evidence and interrogate with ease and be 100% certain when you or your admins make a decision. It is essential for any server to run a logging system as not everything can always be seen by an admin; things may go on in the background that can slip past and cause unnecessary distress among your players.

The logging system logs many things out the box. These range from different gamemodes to global actions that can sometimes be overlooked, and all of these modules can be enabled/disabled in the menu at any time.

What can Billy's Logs do for me?

Billy's Logs, established in September 2015, has been developed for GmodAdminSuite using almost 4 years of experience to create the ultimate logging experience. Billy's Logs is the most easy to use and optimized logging system, suitable for the largest of servers. Better yet, staff will easily breeze through the system thanks to its superior user interface and well-known, familiar layout that the staff of Garry's Mod servers know and love

Billy's Logs has the widest range of addon support on the market, and supports every gamemode with enhanced support for a wide range of common gamemodes. And best of all - Billy's Logs is super easy to install, and all configuration is done in-game. There's no need to mess around with confusing config files.

Using superior knowledge in database management, optimization and querying, Billy's Logs is the most optimized and feature-rich logging system on the market. No longer will a logging system bottleneck your server, as Billy's Logs uses superior methods of database storage to reduce disk space and increase speediness, which will never let you down, unlike some logging systems which use laggy and inefficient methods of database storage and retrieval.

What is GmodAdminSuite?

GmodAdminSuite is a collection of utilities, libraries, tools, a user interface pack and even a sound pack designed by Billy with administration and beauty in mind.

GmodAdminSuite aims to unify administration utilities and provide superior functionality with features such as easy to use & advanced permissions configuration using OpenPermissions, a player database, a command manager and even secondary usergroups.

GmodAdminSuite is also fully modular, allowing you to enable and disable its features as you please.

What does it cost?

GmodAdminSuite is COMPLETELY FREE. and you can download it right now from the Steam Workshop.

How do Billy's addon integrate?

Billy's addon are typically modules for GmodAdminSuite, and are simply "plugged into" the main addon.

They'll take advantage of the features such as secondary usergroups, offline player data, a full-fledged, advanced permissions system using OpenPermissions, superior, optimized networking and more.

Billy's addons use a custom-made digital rights management system called XEON, to defend against piracy.

https://xeon.network

XEON boasts superior uptime, reliability and user experience compared to common DRMs on the market, and does its best to stay out of your way ;)

Your licenses will need to be activated by joining the server. You will be prompted to "Sign in through Steam" on an on-screen HTML panel, which will then save your authentication to the server.

If XEON does not work for you, and all troubleshooting attempts have been exhausted, you may receive a non-DRM copy of the script to use, otherwise, you will be granted a full refund.

XEON is not bound to your server's IP address and/or port.

Tampering with the DRM will result in your license being immediately revoked. Abuse will not be tolerated, and you may lose your license without refund.

It is STRONGLY recommended that you ACTIVATE and USE Steam Guard if you use this service.
