Setting myself as admin simply won't work.

[iBurnPuppies]

Please don't hurt me, I tried everything to set myself as admin. I can't access SCRDS because I'm using an unusual server, but I tried to RCON it and it says "group is set", but when I try to use !menu or things like that, it doesn't work. Could anyone please help me out?

Thanks.

We'll know when you've truly followed every step in that.
Trust me.

I read the readme. Nothing new. I've double checked my Steam ID; it's fine. I read the playergroups thing, again, nothing new.

When I join I get this:

[UCL] Access set.
Hey 'failcake' - You're in the 'superadmin' group on this server.
This server is running Spacetech's Pet Mod. Type /spm for available commands
Welcome to Failcake's Winter Survival Server! We're playing gm_construct.
|FP| Failcake: !menu
You do not have access to this command, |FP| Failcake.

I tried "ulx debug" in console, but again, "You do not have access to this command, |FP| Failcake."

How is the users.txt file in garrysmod/data/ULib supposed to look? Mine is this:

//ATTENTION! This is a default file. DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!!!
//Instead, edit the version in <garrysmod root>/data/ULib/users.txt if it exists. If it doesn't, copy this file over to create it.
//IF YOU MAKE CHANGES TO THIS FILE THEY WILL BE ERASED!

There's nothing else in there. Do I need to bring the users.txt like the one in my garrysmod/settings directory text to the bottom of that? Like it says, if it doesn't exist, copy that file over there to create it, which I did. But I'm a bit confused.

This is probably important: There are no admins in the ULX yet, I'm just trying to add myself. For some reason I have ULX in singleplayer, and that works, but the one on my server doesn't. It's an online server, just incase that needs to be known.

Thanks.

Is this a listen server?

[iBurnPuppies]

I'm sorry... but what's a listen server?

Edit: I'm paying bloodservers.com to host my server for me.

I tried "ulx debug" in console

It's "ulx debuginfo"
You must run this from your server console, not the game. You're web host should have one.
If not, use rcon. It will place a file in /data/<i forget where under there>

This server is running Spacetech's Pet Mod. Type /spm for available commands

If an older version of Pet mod, it may be grabbing chat commands. Have you tried them from game console? "ulx <command>"

There's nothing else in there. Do I need to bring the users.txt like the one in my garrysmod/settings directory text to the bottom of that?

NO. Don't copy gmod/settings/users.txt to gmod/data/ULib/users.txt
IF you do anything, copy gmod/addons/ULib/data/ULib/users.txt to /gmod/data/ULib/users.txt, but, even that shouldn't be necessary.
Once you've properly run adduser from game console, that file should get created automatically (and I believe even if not added any users.
As our file in addons states, never edit any of the addon folders/files. Those become virtual when Gmod is run.
If editing anything, make sure its gmod/<folder that would normally be under addons/modname>
Still, other than placing a motd.txt in gmod/ and an edited server.ini in gmod/cfg, we don't recommend editing any of our files.

I'm just trying to add myself. For some reason I have ULX in singleplayer, and that works

Do you have the pet mod, or any other script that monitors chat commands, in singleplayer?
We've seen many scripts that monitor chat commands break ours due to bad programming practice (usually inexperience)

Megiddo...

It's an online server,

I take that as being dedicated.

Listen = server run from a game "Create multiplayer" option.
Dedicated = run from an srcds.exe application, either through a host or from another pc.

[iBurnPuppies]

I tried "ulx debuginfo" through rcon, but from what I could tell, I didn't see a file added in data. I'm not too sure where to look for that though. Even in console the commands didn't work. I actually already tried editing the users.txt in data, so I think that part is screwed. I currently have ASSMod installed on my server, but that doesn't use chat commands. I'm pretty sure there are no chat commands at the moment, except for Petmod. But again, the console commands didn't work.

I'm going to try reinstalling ULX and ULib to see if that does it, because I have messed with the files a bit, trying to fix them. From what I could gather, I need to delete the folders under Data and Addons, then just re-add them in Addons. Is this correct? I'm also going to delete petmod, just incase.

[iBurnPuppies]

Ah, here we go... debugdump.txt!

By the way, I didn't reinstall anything yet...

Your users file for ULib/ULX are really messed up.
shut down server.
Delete and re-install gmod/addons/ULib and ULX (You've said you've edited files..I'm not sure where all you have. So, just delete and re-install)
Delete gmod/data/ULib and gmod/data/ulx
Leave gmod/settings/users.txt as is for now
Restart server.
Rejoin server
This should fix  you as a superadmin. Though you'll have to add mk1212 back as an admin (or superadmin) as he's listed now.

[iBurnPuppies]

YAY! Console commands are WORKING as I am set to superadmin on my server. However, the chat commands aren't working (I assume Petmod) but do you see anything in my debugdump that could cause that?

Edit: Nope, Petmod is gone and the chat commands are still broke. Console works though. But I'd really like chat commands.

[JamminR]

I don't keep up much with the mod world.
Start either by finding out what mods you have that monitor for chat commands (besides ULX), or, remove all but ULX, test, then add each one back at a time.

[iBurnPuppies]

Any idea on a quick way to find out which addons mess with chat commands?

[iBurnPuppies]

Nope, nevermind. Stupid Voice Menu. I got everything working.

Thanks man, you are simply a credit to ULX and all those guys. Thanks so much for all the help.

[JamminR]

Any idea on a quick way to find out which addons mess with chat commands?

Glad you found out the mod conflict.

If anyone else runs across chat conflict, try my second paragraph of this post - http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3686.msg12651.html#msg12651

Though for some reason that person's search never worked, it's how I look for various functions and commands when I need quick lookups in windows text code.
