Groups.txt is not working

[YoUrWoRsTnIgHtMaRe]

Hey, I'm trying to add a new group to groups.text,but its not working. It says group does not exist. When I add the new group, it says that other groups don't exist either. Only Superadmin doesn't get affected. !menu won't bring up the menu, but when I put it back to normal, everything works. It is in Garrysmod/data/ulib/groups.txt Please review and tell me what is wrong.
Please help

Your VIP "alllow" group is missing a closing bracket.
Your VIP group is missing it's inheritance portion (it doesn't _have_ to inherit from anything (see operator), but I think the inherit from key has to be there)
Your "none" group is missing its very end bracket (but you might have missed that on copy pasting)

Get Notepad++, or Context and download it's lua addition. This can help you find non closed quotes and brackets.

Well its still not working, I fixed everytihng you told me too, and I also downloaded Notepad ++ but I still couldn't find the LUA addon you were talking about. The same problems as above. To add groups do I just have to edit this file? Or do I have to edit multiple files?

Well its still not working, I fixed everytihng you told me too,

Because you fixed some things, and broke others.
Brackets have to be just right.
In your latest code post, you have a closing bracket above operators, and are missing one open and two closing at the end of "none"'s inherit area.
Seriously, check your syntax.

and I also downloaded Notepad ++ but I still couldn't find the LUA addon you were talking about.

Context requires additional download, Notepad already has Lua editing, select "Lua" from the Language menu of Notepad++. It will place minus signs besides opening brackets. If you click a minus below one group name, and it takes away more than just that groups area, you're missing brackets.

To add groups do I just have to edit this file? Or do I have to edit multiple files?

Technically, you never have to touch the data/ULib/groups.txt file. Though it makes it easier (well, at least in most cases) if you're going to give an individual custom group many non-standard permissions.
We recommend using only the ULX commands for user management, or as our latest SVN readme.txt file suggests, a link to how to edit gmod/settings/users.txt - which includes Garry's default (ULX has nothing to do with it but reads it) way of administrating groups, custom or otherwise.
If you want to use the ULX method, see the "ulx usermanagementhelp" function. It has several commands you can use to add/control additional groups.

Oh, and never instant message anyone here asking "look at my updated post"
We're busy. We'll look when we have time.

Sorry about the PM I thought you were done with my post after the question, So do I have to learn how to edit the settings/Ulib/users.txt to make any RP commands work? I just really need to give the "vip" groupp double salary for each job, and a physgun. Also, the Notepad ++ is a great thing. Sorry for the Syntax errors, I didn't understand Notepad ++ but now I shouldn't get anymore of those. The groups.txt works now, along with the group, but it doesn't give the person the physgun while in the group. Even after rejoining.

[JamminR]

ULX doesn't, by default, set who has what tool and weapons. (aka loadout)
Sorry for you to go through all that trouble just to find out.

URestrict was written by Jay to control loadout and tool control.

No idea what RP does. Does it expect a group named vip?
Why did you create those groups?

So do I have to learn how to edit the settings/Ulib/users.txt to make any RP commands work?

No. Really, no. It gets even more complicated.
From game/server console, ulx adduser <player> <group> ... will add people to <group>
You really should look at "ulx help" and "ulx usermanagementhelp" from the console. It shows ulx commands to use from console. If using a game console, autocomplete will start to help fill in blanks too.

ULib groups should be read just as easily as any scripts using "IsAdmin" "IsSuperadmin" or "IsUserGroup"
Research your RP instructions more carefully, and realize in Lua that VIP, vip, V.I.P. and v.i.p. are 4 totally separate things.
Case sensitivity.

ulx who while in game console will show who's in what group.
