Problems adding myself as "superadmin"

[bananaslicer]

I run a dedicated server off my computer. I installed ULX and ULib, and tried the command "ulx adduser retrib superadmin 1" and it didn't work, i've added myself as a superadmin in the original groups file, and the users file. I just cant get it to work

heres the debug stuff

ULX version: 3.30
ULib version: 2.30

Wow. Looks as though you've really broken editing of (almost all membership) files manually.
Your gmod/settings/users.txt looks as though you've misplaced brackets and or quotes.
Though not required editing, ULib falls back on that.
According to the debug, you have no file, or data can't be read, or, the data is corrupt (again, most likely due to bracket or quote issues) of your gmod/data/ULib/groups.txt and users.txt

Hmm. So what should I do?

As I expected.
Fix your settings\users.txt - it's got an extra open bracket before the superadmin group.
Did you edit gmod\addons\Ulib\users.txt
Never edit the addons folder files.
If you did edit any of the ULib addons folder. Delete it. Re-install it. Don't touch it.
Then delete your gmod/data/ULib folder (after fixing your settings/users.txt)

In fact, until you're absolutely sure how to edit lua files that store tables... don't manually edit ULib or ULX files.
Stick with the gmod default users.txt, and using ULX commands from console.
