[b]User Customisation[/b]
[list]
[*][i]ss_render_range[/i] controls how far textscreens have to be away from you in order to render (default [i]1500[/i]). Setting this to a lower number can help with lag on older machines
[*][i]ss_render_rainbow[/i] controls if rainbow textscreens should actually rotate their colours, or render as solid white (default enabled [i]1[/i]). [i]0[/i] will cause them to render as solid white, which can be beneficial for accessibility
[/list]
[b]Server owners[/b]
[list]
[*][i]sbox_maxtextscreens[/i] controls the maximum amount of text screens that each player can spawn. This defaults to 1. [b]This cvar only exists on the server, so make sure it's set via RCON, or in something like server.cfg.[/b]
[*][i]ss_enable_rainbow[/i] controls whether players on your server can use the rainbow effect. Set this to [i]0[/i] in your [i]server.cfg[/i] to prevent anyone from using rainbow effects.
[*]To install this onto your server, follow the instructions [url=https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Workshop_for_Dedicated_Servers]listed here[/url].
