ULX SVN Can't use ulx ragdoll!

[DiscoBiscuit]

This started happening out of nowhere. I haven't changed the files recently or anything. Whenever anyone tries to use "ulx ragdoll" or !ragdoll, I get

Code: [Select]

Lua Error: ulx\modules/sh/fun.lua:493: attempt to call field 'getSpawnInfo' (a nil value)in the console and it doesn't work. It doesn't say anything about not having access or anything it just doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? thanks

[Megiddo]

Seems work okay for me. If this is happening all the time, I'd say one your files is likely corrupt.

[JamminR]

getSpawnInfo is actually a ULib command that's used quite frequently in various punishments.
Can you freeze people? Spectate? Jail?
All 3 of those use a setnodie command to prevent suicide, which in itself uses the getSpawnInfo command.

See if you get a similar error with those functions (freeze, spectate, jail)
If so, make sure you're running latest ULib SVN also.
If not, at least we know to look at ragdoll more.

Odd though that it would just start.
No other addons updated? We've seen various issues with ragdoll due to DarkRP, superman mod, several others that just don't play nicely with other scripts that use ragdoll commands.

I don't think there's a problem with !freeze but with !jail I get

Code: [Select]

Lua Error: ulx\modules/sh/fun.lua:380: attempt to call method 'InVehicle' (a nil value)

Do you have any errors in your console on server startup?

[DiscoBiscuit]

On startup ULX says:

Code: [Select]

I tried re-downloading the SVN of ULX and ULib and reinstalling it on the server but it didn't help.

I don't know what's going on, none of the files seem corrupt and I didn't change anything when this started.
jail also only gets that command when attempting to jail from RCON.
It also says

when the command autocomplete for ULX comes up.

[Megiddo]

It's interesting to see the client log, but the server would be more helpful.

[DiscoBiscuit]

Er, well that was client

[JamminR]

InVehicle is of particular worry... it's a Gmod function. are you absolutely 100% _nothing_ changed with your server from your action?
New addons? Gamemodes? Updates of any type?

And please, yes, get us a copy of server console startup.

[JamminR]

Very helpful, at least in the right direction if not exactly.
server/Player.lua gets an error at startup with refreshing ULib's bans file.
Since Source doesn't store temporary bans across more than one server restart, the admin who banned someone, or a reason, we started storing bans within a bans.txt file in gmod/data/ULib in addition to Source's normal /cfg/banned_users.cfg file.
For some reason, the bans refresh is being seen as null.
That may explain why some others are having issue with banned players (not) getting banned.
It may also be affecting loading of the rest of the file, which happens to have the getSpawnInfo command right after the ban refresh.

Does your server have a gmod/cfg/banned_users.cfg file? Does your server have a gmod/data/ULib/bans.txt file?
Does the user srcds runs under have read/write permissions to both of those folder locations and file?

As for the player joining 'spam' error... it very well may be due to the server Player.lua not loading fully.
If we get that figured out, perhaps the rest will fall into place.

[DiscoBiscuit]

There is a /cfg/banned_user.cfg file and a /data/ulib/bans.txt and neither seem to look corrupt. The read and write permissions are available for both the files and the directories. It just seemed weird because it was working last week, but then it just quit.

[JamminR]

Mind attaching your bans.txt files?
I have a theory about the bans.txt file but wish to visually see yours.
(Oh, what size is the bans.txt? Larger than a few Kb?)
In the Mbytes range? Large = possible corruption.

[DiscoBiscuit]

Here's my bans.txt.

[JamminR]

Well, blows that theory out of the water.
I do notice a different though.
Looking at my bans file, and your bans file, I see your bans.txt has none of the permanent bans imported from banned_user.cfg
If it did, they'd all appear in bans.txt as

Code: [Select]

"SteamID"
 {
 "unban" "0"
 }

Though you have a gmod/cfg/banned_user.cfg ... is it large? If you open it, does it have any noticeable corruption?

It's late now and I'm not able to do any testing, but I plan on trying to place your bans.txt in place of mine. Will tinker if I have time tomorrow about 4 hours before time of this post.
