Problem with groups: bug or my fault ?

[Chironex]

Hi, sorry if this isn't the good place to ask it, we use ulx svn r44,

But we have just noticed that our additional groups (others than superadmin, admin, user) didn't work anymore. I don't know if this is a bug or a problem from me, but as a test  I've switched back to 3.11 and it obviously re-worked.

Anyone have experienced this problem ?

[JamminR]

Only thing I can think of off top of my head is that SVN no longer requires Out { } in the txt files.
Other than that, I don't know why it wouldn't work in svn.

Post your groups.txt? (Don't worry about editing out SteamIDs. They really aren't all that secret)

[MrPresident]

I had this problem too.. It seemed like the SVN broke the origional user.txt file. If you delete it and re-add everyone, it will work fine.

However.. while we're talking about it.. If I try to edit the user.txt or the new groups.txt file in data/ULib when I save it it looses all formatting and wont read on the server.. any ideas?

[Megiddo]

You're probably using tabs when it will only do spaces. Dumb I know, but garry won't let strings be split with patterns. We should probably just implement our own splitter again

[Chironex]

Well, the groups.txt looks like that:

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{
"admin"
{
"deny"
{
"1" "ulx cexec"
"2" "ulx cexecall"
"3" "ulx rcon"
"4" "ulx toolallow"
"5" "ulx adduser"
"6" "ulx userallow"
"7" "ulx luarun"
}
}

"operator"
{
"allow"
{
"1" "ulx mute"
"2" "ulx kick"
"3" "ulx slap"                               
                "4" "ulx votekick"
"5" "ulx teleport"
"6" "ulx gimp"
"7" "ulx goto"
"8" "ulx jail"
"9" "ulx cloak"
"10" "ulx god"
"11" "ulx uncloak"
"12" "ulx unjail"
"13" "ulx unmute"
"14" "ulx ungimp"
}       
}

"respected"
{
"allow"
{
"1" "ulx votekick"
        "2"             "ulx goto"
"3"             "ulx teleport"
}
}

"user"
{
"allow"
{
"1" "ulx votekick"
}
}

"minge"
{
"deny"
{
"1" "ulx votekick"
}
}

}
And users.txt:

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{

//SUPERADMINS

"KyzerSA"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:58722491"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "superadmin"
"2" "immunity"
}
}

//ADMINS

"KyzerA"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:58722492"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "admin"
"2" "immunity"
}
}

//MODERATORS

"KyzerMO"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:58722493"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "operator"
}
}

//RESPECTED

"KyzerR"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:5872249"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "respected"
}
}

//MINGES

"KyzerMI"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:58722495"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"

Oh, i forgot to say something, groups.txt and users.txt are located in "garrysmod/addons/ulib/data/ulib", when i run the server, it re-create groups.txt in "garrysmod/data/ulib", but differently:

I've of course tried to move my users.txt and groups.txt into "garrysmod/data/ulib", nothing change

So..i don't know what's wrong here, should i remove all { and } (how is it possible :s), should i replace all tabs by a single space? And Zakap i'll try to re-add someone for test.

Sorry for long post :s

Fixed in revision 65!

I can blame garry on this issue though... amazing how much a poorly coded string.Explode() function can slow you down.

[Chironex]

string.Explode is bugged ? i used it recently without problems

I've found this one too, never tried it:

Code: [Select]

function explode ( seperator, str )
  local pos, arr = 0, {}
for st, sp in function() return string.find( str, seperator, pos, true ) end do -- for each divider found
table.insert( arr, string.sub( str, pos, st-1 ) ) -- Attach chars left of current divider
pos = sp + 1 -- Jump past current divider
end
table.insert( arr, string.sub( str, pos ) ) -- Attach chars right of last divider
return arr
end

[Megiddo]

That's the one garry uses (from the lua users wiki). The problem is that it blocks patterns. You really, really, really need patterns for any sort of file I/O.
