MySQL?
« on: September 19, 2008, 11:14:10 PM »
Any chance we could be looking out for some more mysql addons like Uban?, One I suggest is saving users and groups into mysql so you can use them across multiple servers, instead of adding people into groups manually across all of them.

Scooby22,
I believe at this time there won't be.
There have been others that suggested this. Supporting this as an addon could become a nightmare, whether it be Team Ulysses or one of our members.
It seems that majority of admins have trouble knowing how to add themselves as an admin using default Gmod text files.
Could you imagine the questions if someone thought all they had to do to share among more than one server was download another addon?

On Ulysses HQ, our Gmod server, we run SQL queries that pulls users and groups we've designated from this SMF forum database.
If  you want to check out it's code and perhaps use it for your own means, you can find the discussion and code here >

Personally, I'd welcome seeing a 3rd party ULib => SQL group/member query release in our releases section.
From the few times I've seen this request, I know others would too.
