.lua restricter....
« on: September 11, 2006, 02:24:28 PM »
i was wondering is it possible to add an .lua restricter function to ulx?so that u add the .lua directory into ulx and then the .lua would only be served to admins and non admin clients wouldnt get the .lua?if this could be done then no one would have to rely on programs admin functions they could just use the ulx .lua restricter.

Lua scripts are already server side, clients do not receive them.

Though, all clients get the functions that the lua provides, unless the lua has some access built in already.

I think he's wanting scripts with no UCL, or scripts that have UCL but not based on Ulib (ie, requires extra configuration), to be able to be in one folder, controlled by ULX.

His idea is sound, I personally would love to be able to throw a lua into a 'admin' folder of ulx, and only have admins be able to access whatever sweps/functions that lua provides.

Unfortunately, not everyone writes lua to only be accessed with the Ulib (or old ULX) users.ini.

:)

Great idea.
Not sure its possible, but awesome idea.

It's possible... all you'd have to do is replace the concommand's in the lua script. I thought about making such a thing before, but I was worried I'd be hanged for interferring with other people's scripts... but with a folder...

Like your idea, should be a simple addon.
