ULX help, superadmin access..

[Empty]

Hey, sorry for taking your time, but I have some issues.. (GMOD)

I've read and searched for days about ULX admin help and still I don't understand..

I am running a dedicated server, I have ULX and Ulib installed properly.

Well to the problem, when I join my server it welcomes me with "Hey Empty (my name), your in the superadmin group blabla

I have access to the admin props and entities, and that I'm happy for.

When  I try something easy like !slap or !menu, it only says "You don't have access to this comman, Empty".

So, ok.. I tried to type in ULX userallow Empty !slap for instance.. The console tells me that I have access, but still it tells me that I don't have access for it when i try to use it (I have tried to reconnect to the server, and restarted the server)

so I just like try ulx userallow empty ulx slap
then i get this message:

User "Empty" doesn't have access to "ulx"
]
so I do this

 ulx userallow empty ulx
(ADMIN) (Console) granted user "Empty" access to "ulx"

and I'm granted slap... but it still tells me "You don't have access to this comman, Empty."  -.-  Can't use !menu or anything..

I noticed that I'm in serveral superadmin groups..:p

Hope I was clear enough. Thank you

[Empty]

Hey okey an update, I now removed myself from superadmin, and put me back in there, so its only one admin group for me, if it makes any difference,,
well i typed

] ulx userallow empty ulx
(ADMIN) (Console) granted user "Empty" access to "ulx"

] ulx userallow empty "ulx menu"
(ADMIN) (Console) granted user "Empty" access to "ulx menu"
Empty: !menu

It said something in oranagecoloured thingy to the right ingame  someting with "nil value"  and i got a tiny box on the screen.. with an X on.. pressed it and the disappeared .:p

so allowed me with !adminmenu
and it worked, kinda, got the menu .. but if i pressed anything.. what do know.. you dont have access to this command empty...

FYI - The "Hey Empty (my name), your in the superadmin group" is done totally by Garry's Mod. If you added yourself to "gmod/settings/users.txt" properly for any group, it would say that, and if admin or superadmin would give you access to the admin tools.

ULX would state somthing like "[UCL] ULib authed" (I forget our exact authentication message.)

Now, on to ULX.
It seems the fact you've tried adding yourself in different ways has somehow corrupted the users (and maybe groups) storage files of ULib.
Our Ulib users.txt file has you two times, one with a name with a space in it. Though that in itself shouldn't be a problem, it does have you twice and may be due to the space.
How did you add yourself to /settings/users.txt .. using "marcus flysjö"? Or using Empty? Make sure you're not typing your name twice in that file. Or adding your name to two or more different user groups. (That is, don't put your id in superadmin and admin in the /gmod/settings/users.txt)

I recommend you shut your server down, make sure your users.txt file is clean in /settings/users.txt, only having you once, using 'empty' as the only entry.
Delete the gmod/data/ULib folder. (Make sure you NEVER edit /addons/ULib/data/ULib files .. if you're going to try to edit, make sure it's /gmod/data/ULib (and we don't recommend that until you know what you're doing)) If you DID edit /addons/ULib/data/ULib files, re-install ULib
Now, once you've deleted that /gmod/data/ULib folder, restart your server, join.

Test a command from chat or console. "!menu" from chat. If nothing, "ulx menu" from console and see if you get anything. If you get only a motd option, run debug info again and post here. DO NOT try adding yourself to any other group. DO NOT try adding any access to commands for yourself. As a superadmin, you have access to all commands already.
DO post your /settings/users.txt file for us too.

Which brings us to our next tip.
Always use the format when your giving LOWER access groups (admin, operator, any that don't inherit superadmin)
ulx userallow "<name>" "ulx <command>"
Not !<chatcommand>
Not "ulx"
All people who join the server will have bare minimum "ulx" access if files aren't corrupted.

Thanks for the fast reply, and very well formed reply =)

I was dumb and had my self as admin and super admin in the garrysmod/setting/user.txt
And yes I did creat an user.txt in the data/ulib file, never touched ulib/data/ulib file, got the message in the txt

so I deleted the data/ulib folder from hlserver/gmod/data/ulib, and my steam folder,; Yupp I did the same for my dedicated server folder as in my steamfolder, just to be sure it would be right.

I deleted me from "admin" group in my txt file, and removed me from ulx superadmin, then put me right back in there, and it works perfectly   tried some commands, all worked, so thank you again, I realy respect your help. Oh and the Marcus flysjö. I just added him ingame wit ulx adduser "marcus flysjö" admin   so that he could use the admin weapons =)


I guess this post will help some other ppl if they have the same issue


My user.txt now:



"Users"

{

"superadmin"

{

"Empty" "STEAM_0:0:1917022"

}

"admin"

{

"user2" "STEAM_0:1:7099"

}


}



Tanks again =)

You're welcome, and thank you for following the instructions in our FAQ "Need help with access?"
You gave several details you had tried, which helped show what might be going on, and you also posted the debug info which showed us that there was a corruption in the way ULib saw you as an admin.
