Difficulty managing groups
« on: June 20, 2010, 06:09:45 AM »
I recently bought a Xenion server and decided to go with Ulx rather then Assmod which is so much less capable of getting things done.

But i just can't seem to get myself Into the Super Admin Category. I've looked at the readme and i've tried the Regualar Gmod 10 way and putting myself in the Ulib's user Text file but neither of them have worked and i'm stuck with Gm_flatgrass until I get to that user group.

I'm pretty sure i edited the Text file properly, but if you see anything wrong with the attached file please let me know.

Hey
hope this help...
My users.txt is in this location:
Code: [Select]
/orangebox/garrysmod/settings/users.txt
And is layed out like this:

Code: [Select]
"Users"
{
   "superadmin"
   {
      "PLAYERNAME"         "STEAM_0:0:0000000000"
   }

   "admin" //Another user group.
   {
   }
}

}

I think the easiest way to add yourself to admin is to join your server, then run the following console command on the server:
Code: [Select]
ulx adduser yourname superadmin
You shouldn't need to edit the users.txt file unless you don't have access to the server console.

Tommo's example of the GMod users.txt file way has one too many brackets.
Stickly Man's way is good, but I must emphasize from the "Server" console.

Also, give us more detail. How do you know you're not a superadmin?
Does Gmod welcome you as a superadmin when you join?
Did you follow our FAQ "Having trouble with access?" (See our FAQs section) - (I already know the answer. At least, if you've read it, you've not followed all of it yet)

The problem has been solved so there's no need to contiue with this, but yes i did look through the Faq.

Since it was a bought server created by Xenion I wasn't automacticly put in that group. I'm not %100 sure what fixed it though but I'm guessing it was because i had my name in both the Admin and Super Admin Group.

But all i did to the settings folder was edit the text file and Garry back in the Admin Group. But Its not really worth Discussing anymore since everything is where it should be but i thank you guys for trying to give hand.
