UPS - Ulysses Prop Share

[JamminR]

No errors in server/client consoles.

Not really. UPS is quite verbose about errors. If it's not working, I'm shocked it's not letting you know.
Is it even loading at server startup?
Tried having your server rebuild it's lua cache? (Shut server down, delete gmod/cache, restart server)
If you use a download url for your server, delete /cache from it too, and make sure to reupload the server's cache to it after the rebuild.

I looked through a few pages but was unable to find an SVN link, and from what I've gathered, it exists.

I want to be able to disable use/vehicle protection for everyone.

All SVN info can be found in the forum's SVN Stuff area.

Though direct links for ulx and ulib are the only ones provided, replace one of them with UPS instead and you have the URL.
Make sure you use upper case for the UPS

Also, svn UPS requires svn ULib which, if you use ULX, will mean you need to upgrade to SVN ULX.
Backup your server's gmod/data/ULib folder before upgrading.
Heed the warning of the SVN access info thread.
If you're not already using ULib/ULX SVN and aren't ready to accept the responsibility of beta software, please don't upgrade.

Woo, improved UPS, judging from changelog there's a lot over the non-SVN release.

Will install once I get home, thanks.

Are settings supposed to save? Because my settings aren't saving and it's really not good, I had to go into the lua files and manually set the set props up for grabs setting to -1 (imo that is a terrible feature, who want's people able to steal their hard work when they leave/crash?)

Everything else about UPS is great!

UPS currently uses garry's method of saving cvars, which only saves when the server shuts down (and not from a crash, map changes don't count). Making our own method of saving cvars in ULib and UPS is next on my list of things to do.

Ahh I see. So how do you safely shut down a server? I just hit the close button on my command prompt window lol! Yes I do host my dedicated server myself  .

ULX got me coding in lua! It took me a while but I finally got the hang of it, I've learned quite a few other scripting languages so it was pretty easy to learn. I'm about to release the addon for ulx I made, it's a command for the player resizer tool.

Thanks for getting me into lua guys... I had no intentions on even trying until I got ULX, I just needed the right motivation.

[Megiddo]

You safely shut down a server by typing "exit" or "quit" in the server console. Glad we got you interested in lua!

Not sure if anyone's asked this but, does UPS protect against basic stuff like propkilling?

Yes

Could you make UPS, show who owns props with other weapons then just the tool gun??

[Scooty]

Hmm... I have installed this on my server and for what ever reason, some players spawn a prop and they can not move it. They can not move it because the prop is not owned by them, it says "Unknown". I had to remove it and put on SPP (simple prop protection) because of it. I really do like this Prop Protection. Is there any reason why this is happening? I did not edit the files or anything.

[JamminR]

Trying the sVN of it?

That might help  Thanks for the help

[Megiddo]

It's been a while since I've worked with this code, but it strikes me as odd that it would say unknown. If I recall correctly, I think unknown just means that the client hasn't figured out who owns it yet from the server (the server always knows). Nothing in SVN should change that... but let us know either way.
