Forced Downloads just refusing to work, probably a simple fix?

[tasktool]

I downloaded this admin server mod so that my friend and I could easily start our own servers and have them automatically download our sounds/files that one of us dont have.

So what happened was, I installed everything, and configured the server config, so that it will force download a couple mp3s. Which worked, my friend joined my server and he was forced to download the 2 mp3s and they worked for both of us, then I sent him the admin/server mod (this) and he downloaded it, I gave him instructions, and told him how to set up the force downloads, and right ever since then non of us can get it to work. I added another sound file to my list, and he said that it didnt force him to download it, nor did it force me to download his, we troubleshooted for about an hour before he gave up. This is really frustrating, as I know that it works, but something happened or something. My server config looks like this:

ulx addForcedDownload "sound/unlife1.mp3" 1
// You can add a folder to add all files inside that folder. If recursive is 1 it will also add all files from any sub-folders.
//ulx addForcedDownload "sound/my_music" 1

// You can also add forced downloads here. Make sure you put quotes around the path/filename, and take out the comment string '//'.
// Add as many as you want. You can also add these to your map- or game-specific files.
// format: ulx addForcedDownload <file/folder> [<recursive>]

I added the line above the help comments assuming it doesnt matter, and the other two songs I had there worked before. They just refuse to force download though. I searched the FAQ and it says something about server.ini? But mine is a server.configuration. It actually just says configuration settings and doesnt specify the file type, i'm just troubleshooting. The songs that I tried to send afterwards that did not work were smaller in size than the ones I sent before, and we are both using the same server admin mod ulx.

Try removing the 1 from after the actual file.
Recursive is meant for folders, not individual files.

Other than that, not sure.

Please list any errors that occur from server console when a player joins, or any that occur at server startup.

I can not access the admin !menu unless I type in "ulib_cl_ulib_loaded" into the console as well.
I read about it on some forum. Any idea about all of the other errors?

Also, when I start MOTD some other servers MOTD pops up that isnt even mine! It's so strange, I don't know where it's getting whatever MOTD file that it is reading.

I had the "Warning: Unhandled usermessage" errors a while ago.

To fix that I had to completely remove all ULX/ULib files and download everything from SVN, I mean everything, a full SVN checkout.


The URLs for the SVN repositories are here: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3092.0.html
A simple tutorial for how to use SVN is here: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3138.0.html
(If you already understand how to use SVNs I apologize, it seems most people don't)

Thanks WCA Aids.
Tasktool, he's right. The errors you're getting seem to indicate you're using our (not so) latest release...that is, release from our download page. Unfortunately, Garry has made several updates since that release, and we've not been able to pull together another official one.
If you _are_ using SVN, at least to your knowledge, then please wipe the servers addons/ulx and ULib folders, and re-checkout.

It seems some of the other addons you use may need updating also. The Zlib is something used by advanced duplicator, and a part of it is being blocked. Another major error at server startup deals with groups. I'm not sure just from the text if it means you have a bad settings/users.txt, a bad data/ULib/users.txt, or some other mod.
From the error "includes/extensions/player_auth.lua:71: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got number)" .. I'd look and make sure your settings/users.txt file is right.
