Shoved into Users group even though I'm defined as a superadmin

[FrohmanElite]

Before I start, I've read the readme and the FAQ. I cannot provide any result of a ulx debuginfo because despite saying it's created a file, the directory where it's supposedly saved doesn't exist, so please don't shun me for that. Anyway, A fellow clan leader wanted me to make changes to the groups, so it goes Super Admin, Admin, VIP, Member and Users. I've edited the users.txt file in the ulib data directory many times before without fail, but this time I'm stumped.

My Users.txt file.
It's not because of the recent update that screwed with the steam ID's, as 1 I fixed that myself earlier in the day and 2. My users.txt file shows that they're all STEAM_1 and not STEAM_0.
Please, if you can help, do.
Frohman

[JamminR]

In groups.txt , Vip group is missing a closing bracket.
"vip"
{
"blah" { }
"blah" { }
}

Also, that file that gets created when you run from SERVER console is created on the server. Make sure you're looking there..

EDIT: It did. Thanks 
I still find it odd how one missing character can make a whole system go kaput.

[MrPresident]

If you understood (and maybe you do) how tables are created and read from strings and files..

basically ULX pulls groups.txt data and creates a table in lua so that the information can be loaded up easily rather than reading the file every time someone joins. If you are missing a character that sets up the table structure or even if you have one too many.. it could and will really mess things up. That is why it is HIGHLY discouraged from editing the groups.txt or users.txt file manually unless you really know what you are doing.

ulx adduser
ulx addgroup

both of these commands from a dedicated console will allow you to create groups and add players to them without even touching the files.
