A note to the brave
« on: January 15, 2008, 09:02:24 PM »
If you were brave enough to update your servers, and to find them broken to bits, we have a smidgen of good news for you. The ULX and ULib SVN trunks have been updated to "work" with the new updates. We make no guarantees that everything will work, but in my quick checks most everything seemed intact. Thanks to spbogie for quickly getting us up to speed on this!

My server list is empty. I understand a FEW may not be up to date, but ALL?
Well, it's nice to know ULX and ULib are ready for when Gmod is.

There's a fix for the server itself to make it run.  I'm making a post about it in what i hope is the correct place.  Also, the updated svn runs, but none of the ulx commands work in my server yet.

Same issue here. ULX not running.

I can't make sense of any LUA errors as there are mostly none either in console or in game. If there is it's 1/2 a message or "unexpected variable".

I wish I could help with more but I'll see what I can do.

Show us the errors. You are using SVN, correct?

Ham N Jelly,
http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3131.msg9022.html#msg9022
The discussion in that thread is probably part of your issue.
Until Garry gets a decent fix, we may not be able to.
I say may because we have been challenged by Garry's 'updates' before.

Oh, and a tip... registered users can modify their own posts, preventing double posts. :)

Yes, using SVN. Im doing a fresh install tonight and I'm goin to copy down every error I encounter both Client and console.
Edit: I am running SVN 125 as well.


This server is running ULib version 2.10.
Redownloading all lightmaps
Water Overlay Material '0' wasn't found.
ULX version 3.21 (BETA) SVN revision 125 loaded.

Command: ulx clientmenu
Client side Error: ULib/shared/sh_ucl.lua:38: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
Console Error: (no error)
Comment: Players can be seen on the left but all client commands are missing.

Command: Clicking on any command in the Admin menu
Client side Error: ulx/modules/cl/adminmenu.lua:45: bad argument #1 to 'SetText' (string expected, got nil)
Console Error: (no error)
Comments: Slider values work fine, no errors there. Error is when Allow NPC's, PVP damage, Global Noclip and Global Godmode are clicked on.

Command: ulx maul
Client side Error: (No Error)
Console Error: (After player suicides when Maul completes) Entity 174 (class 'npc_headcrab_fast') reported ENTITY_CHANGE_NONE but 'm_hEffectEntity' changed.
Comments: Maul starts but no player damage caused. After 30 seconds or so player health drops to 1, then a further 30 seconds after taht maul finishes and player suicides. See attached demo.

Command: ulx hp (Minor old bug)
Client side Error: (No Error)
Console Error: (No Error)

the menu commands rely on clientside scripting.. Megiddo has already said that this was broken at this time... They already know about the client menu and Menu commands.

As for maul.. and cloak, im not sure what would be causing those.. unless of course they were more client side.

Oops, forgot about your post here, sorry. The menus and maul should be fixed now, the thing with cloak is a necessary bug, and trying to do anything more about ulx hp would be crazy... are there admins taking advantage of this?
