[Jarvin] The Dashboard Escape Menu

https://www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/1...scape-menu

Description
Jarvin, a project that I've been on for a few months now in my spare time; is technically considered an "Escape Screen", but will act as a script with many other categories of features as well during its development. Through-out the time I've been working on the large Arivia update, I had a separate idea to make something that would include various features that both players and administrators can take advantage of. This project helped when I needed to take a small break from Arivia and give me something "new" to focus on after 8 hours of Arivia code. It was styled with the inspiration of "Metro" (windows 8), to keep a sleek look with the color scheme I've used through-out all of my designs. Within the next umerous updates, plans to also include administrative tasks will be added which will allow staff to manage their servers from the script, as well as being able to keep players informed of news, server information, and even include video advertisements via YouTube or .webm files.
There is a large number of updates planned for this script, which the possibilities are almost endless for. Some features include managing players per each different gamemode, with integration of the most popular admin-mods and many other things.

Installation
First off, thanks for your purchase!
Simply drop the contents in a new folder within the/garrysmod/addons/folder.
Edit your/sh/sh_config.luafile and modify it to your specifications.
FastDL / Workshop
My scripts come pre-configured to handle FastDL. However, in the event that you cannot use FastDL on your server; I also upload Workshop items that contain all of the resources you'll need. Simply subscribe to the workshop item below, and add it to your server's collection. Players will automatically download what they need when they connect to your server.

FAQ
I changed the configuration and things stopped working.
Check your values. Anything with atrueorfalsevalue is a Boolean value, and should only be true or false. Make sure you don't have unneeded quotation marks.
I modified the settings but changes aren't taking place.
Some settings will allow you to modify them and the changes will take place immediately thanks to a feature called (Auto-refresh). However, in some cases, the server may not make the changes, and therefore, a server restart is needed.
I don't want it to be used as an escape screen - can I use it for other purposes?
Yes. The script allows you to bind it to a key (using ENUMS). Once you enable this, players can activate the screen by pressing the key you specify within the configuration file.
Can my players get to the servers tab?
Aboslutely, a button is provided which allows you to access the normal parts of the Garry's Mod GUI.
Can I access the console?
Yes, both the keybind works (~), and there's even a "Console" button which will activate the console as well.
Can I change the backgrounds?
Yes. Within the configuration file is a table namedJarvin.Settings.Backgrounds- can you add or modify any link within here - or add your own!

Old leaked product from LeakForums.

100% not the latest because this one is from the beginning of 2016 (got edited there the last time - the files itself are from the end of 2015 and the Leak from the beginning of 2015 [weird] which means this is very old and I'm sure it's not the latest) and Scriptfodder shows there were an update 10Month ago. (Version history says 1 Year ago)
Archive itself is clean.
Code looks clean too (just "leaking credits" on the Top of every file / from the LeakForums guy).
Just a bit messy to write the complete "main-script" into one file.

Functionality of this: Working.

Worth the credits in my Opinion? Definetly nope. Not as an "Escape Menu".
It's too old and needs too much improvements form the user.

It could be nice to rewrite this as a nice Newsfeed/Changelog addon or something else. (There is a Hotkey [F7] to also open this up.)
