Hello,

I would like to know that because ULX uses a system of groups, but when you play Stranded, you have these " tribes ", do they overwrite the groups? Because they have their personnal "in the chat box" players colors, so... I wondered.

I know ULX is most designed for Sandbox, with its incorporated limits settings etc... But it's really the best admin plugin, so I would like to keep using it in any gamemode.

Thanks in advance.

( Of course I know the special scoreboard won't work. )

Much of the challenge depends on how the gamemode was written. If the "tribes" are actually the Gmod/Source actual term "teams" and not administrative access groups, then the primary functions and administrative commands (kick, ban) ULX was written for should work.

If tribes are actually access groups, then there may be issues.

Also, the slider functions for ragdolls/props/etc within the admin menu will most likely not work if Stranded isn't based on the Sandbox gamemode.

MrPresident, a forum member here, has(had) a very modified version of Stranded running on his servers along with ULX.
I'm not aware if any of the many custom changes he did were done due to incompatibility.
He's now in the US Military and I'm not sure how often he visits, perhaps he or someone else could comment with more surety.

Thanks for the answer.

So, I'm quite sure it will work if I turn off every plugin except Ulib/ULX, like UPS, URestrict, etc... Because everyone can create " tribes " with a /command, so I doubt they can create their own administrative groups.

Also, I'll need to turn off the scoreboard made by the community, last time I tried with it and it was awful.
