Yet another access problem. I'm stumped.

[arcooke]

I've searched for this problem and haven't come up with anything.  I went through all of the steps in the access problems sticky word for word, still no help.  I have the latest SVN of both ULib and ULX.

Basically I'm being recognized by my server as a superadmin, my permissions are set, but for some reason I can't do certain things with ULX.  Here's an example.. read my console log.

Code: [Select]

[UCL] Access set.
Hey 'noodle' - You're in the 'superadmin' group on this server.
This server is running ULib version 2.10.
ULX version 3.21 (BETA) SVN revision 103 loaded.
] ulx god noo
(ADMIN) Noodle granted god mode to Noodle
] ulx groupallow user "ulx votekick"
These commands are complicated! You must first read the help. Use "ulx usermanagementhelp" in console to see it.
] ulx usermanagementhelp
Sorry, Noodle, this is an advanced help function for admins to use.
 I had the same problem when trying to use "ulx adduser".  At this point it's impossible for me to add new admins via the console, even though I am a superadmin.  It's ignoring my superadmin for some strange reason, yet I'm allowed to do just about anything else (god, kick, ban, etc).  For the record I have no special user groups.  This is also a brand new server so no old versions of ULX/ULib are present.




Also, while I'm here, another quick question related to SVN.  I have modified my server.ini and my motd.txt, and because of that they are flagged by TortoiseSVN as being changed (theres a red exclamation point icon on my ULX folder icon).  Is there a way to ignore these files so they don't get overwritten next time I do a SVN update?



The owner of the server I used to play on was having the exact same problem as me.  He wasn't able to fix it either.  Any ideas?

You obviously didn't follow every step in the access sticky, or there would be more information in your post. Go back and read it again, and come back with what it asks for.

For the svn problem, move your server.ini and motd.txt files out of addons. motd.txt should go in the gmod root, and server.ini in gmod/cfg/.

[arcooke]

Dump added to first post.  Forgot to paste that in there, sorry.

[JamminR]

arcooke,
 Check your server gmod/data/Ulib/Users.txt .. is it blank/empty?
If not, post it here please?

[Megiddo]

It's got you both as a guest and a superadmin. Something is very wrong with your users.txt. Delete is and try again.

Jam, users.txt is fine, you can see it inside his dump.

[JamminR]

ULib.ucl.users (#=0):

I thought since that was blank, that his users.txt might be blank.
His authed is what has him twice.

arcooke,

I don't have a garrysmod\data\ulib\users.txt.  In that folder I have bans.txt, groups.txt, and misc_registered.txt.  For what it's worth, when I added myself as superadmin, I used garrysmod\settings\users.txt as described at http://garrysmod.com/wiki/?title=Admin#Dedicated_Servers .  The readme file said I could do that.

I saw that and thought it was weird too.. having me as a guest and as a superadmin.  There shouldn't be anything wrong with my users.txt, though.  I basically just filled in the blanks from the default file.  Here are the contents of that file.

Code: [Select]

"Users"
{
//
// This is your users file
//
// You can use this file to add people as admins on your server
// Add them to the relevant section
//
// If you're a Lua coder you can add your own sections and use them
// in your script by doing pl:IsUserGroup( "admin" ) etc
//

"superadmin"
{
"Noodle" "STEAM_0:1:855372"
"$F'*Col*' Sub-Stance" "STEAM_0:1:11770115"
}

"admin"
{
//"garry" "STEAM_0:1:7099"
}

}

I didn't do anything special when I installed ULX/ULib.  I created their folders in my addons directory, loaded them up using SVN, edited my MOTD, edited my server.ini, and edited the users.txt to add myself (just basic settings for each).  And keep in mind this was on a fresh server install where nothing else was changed beforehand other than setting my rcon password.  Also keep in mind the owner of the server I used to play on just a week ago updated ULX and ended up having the identical problem as me.  All his admins got messed up and it said he didn't have access to re-add them (including me).  He got the same error I did.  Any chance the latest version is bugged?

For the first time setup, following those instructions is actually preferred by us. Thank you for reading the readme!

The fact you are missing the users.txt file is of concern. ULib should create the file upon startup.
When your server starts up, do you get any errors regarding ULib?

I saw that and thought it was weird too.. having me as a guest and as a superadmin.

I wasn't too concerned with this. Though Megiddo/spbogie would definitely know whether it should appear this way or not, it was the 'authorized' list that had you twice.
When you joined the server, you were a guest. While connected, you used console adduser to add yourself. It is my belief that until you rejoin the server (when users.txt is working), you would appear twice in that output.
Once you rejoined (only if users.txt was working/had stored you), I believe you would only appear once in the ULib.ucl.auth list.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with my users.txt, though.  I basically just filled in the blanks from the default file.  Here are the contents of that file.

Code: [Select]

"Users"
{
<clip>
"$F'*Col*' Sub-Stance" "STEAM_0:1:11770115"
</clip>


Syntax-wise, your users.txt looks fine(brackets, quotes, etc). However, try this... ULib -may- be having trouble parsing Substance's name during load up.
AFTER seeing if you are getting any errors from ULib/ULX during startup about reading/creating a gmod/data/ULib/users.txt file, try editing the way they appear in your settings/users.txt file. I notice, at least in your posts, that single quotes ' are included. I've seen many scripting languages not like or interpret these quite differently than expected. Try changing it to something like "*Col* Sub-Stance" or similar.

He got the same error I did.  Any chance the latest version is bugged?

With SVN, yes, always the chance. Though SVN allows us to continually try to improve ULX and ULib as a team ... it also increases the chance of bugs several times over for the end user. SVN is a symbiotic relationship. Together, we try to improve. You get latest features, but get to tell us when something we added isn't working (or, broke something of old)

[spbogie]

The name shouldn't be affecting it.

I was having very similar issues (debuginfo output wise) with a mallformed users.txt file earlier, but it is odd that it wouldn't be creating it at all.

If you have access to the dedicated server console, please check that for any errors while it is starting up. You should see to sections boxed out with /////////'s where ULib and ULX load, make sure both of these are there, and that there aren't any errors as they load up. If you see any, copy them, and paste back here (instructions for copying in the FAQ sticky).

If there aren't any errors, try creating a blank users.txt file in /gmod/data/ULib/ and see if that does anything.

Also, feel free to contact me through xfire or steam (spbogie on both). It's faster to help that way.
