Problems with ULX

[Aaron113]

The menus for ULX seem not to be working because of Garry's update, I'm not 100% sure if it is true.

nvm I'm only having problems with "ulx menu" and "ulx banmenu"

Also Ragdoll does not work

I also hear reserved slots do not work (From one of my admins)

[Stickly Man!]

Hmm, the old menus are working fine for me, are you getting any errors in console?

I got these errors in my server console-- they all seem to be related, but I don't know if it's a fault in Garry's code or not:

Code: [Select]

includes/extensions/string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

ERROR: Hook 'ULXDoCfg' Failed: includes/extensions/string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)
Removing Hook 'ULXDoCfg'

ERROR: Hook 'ULXInitPlayer' Failed: includes/extensions/string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)
Removing Hook 'ULXInitPlayer'EDIT: Also, I get that first error right after ULib/ULX is done initializing, it seems.

[Aaron113]

Well it seemed to break after I added your menu and ran steam update on my server.

But I do get an error

Code: [Select]

[ULIB] Loading CLIENT module: ur_gui.lua
includes/extensions/string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

I'm going to try re-installing ULX and ULiB.

[Stickly Man!]

Firstly, XGUI has absolutely nothing to do with the ULX menus, so, nothing should have broken.
Secondly, that last ur_gui.lua file is part of URestrict, but, that error always appears AFTER the last modules are loaded:

Code: [Select]

[ULX] Loading SHARED module: vote.lua
includes/extensions/string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

EDIT: Also just tested ragdoll.. it's working for me

[Aaron113]

I don't know what is wrong... a bunch of things are not working.

Edit:  I did re-install ULX and ULiB, but still not working.

Garry's blocked us from reading our config files... Ouchie. That's going to take a while to update, and unfortunately I have 0 time between now and Friday (traveling home, leaving right after test in 30 mins). JamminR or Stickly Man!, would you like to try your hands at this? Garry's restricting file reading to txt, cfg, lua extensions (according to the changelog). I haven't tested to make sure this is the problem, but it seems like it ought to be. To fix it, people need to rename the config files to .txt and the appropriate code needs to change along with it.

[Aaron113]

My problem is the window for the menu is like the size of my post button but a little more height.

The banmenu gets stuck on loading but that is probably cuz this ....

Also the jail command doesn't show the PrintMessage in players chats, but other then that and reserved slots everything seem to be fine.

This has already been corrected: http://twitter.com/FacepunchBot/status/13390632320
No idea when it will be pushed however.

@Aaron, the banmenu probably gets stuck because of .. well, it could be a lot of reasons. Are you seeing any errors in your console from any mods? Perhaps the update broke something else, which is in turn breaking ULX?

I am not seeing any errors, and I have no idea what could have broke it if anything did.

Could this be what your looking for?

[Stickly Man!]

Hmm, I'm not getting that error at all-- are you using the SVN or release version of ULX/ULib?

Looking at the code, I can only think of two things that might be causing that problem:
1) Something is up with your bans.txt file, or
2) Your ULib/ULX SVN (if you're using it) is not up to date.

If you know for sure the SVNs are updated, perhaps you could send me your bans.txt so I could take a look?

[Aaron113]

Well here is my Bans.txt
I did not update ULX or ULiB but I will try soon. (SVN)

[dracotonisamond]

im also having issues with ragdoll and now banid.  banid doesnt seem to be banning properly, but chat banning is working fine.
i also cant provide any errors because i have no access to my console on my gsp...

[Stickly Man!]

@Aaron113 WOW, I was right! Something in that bans file is causing problems-- I'm going to take a closer look in a bit. Coincidentally, I too can't use ragdoll or ulx banmenu (regular menu is working fine though).

@dracotonisamond Your problem is probably the same as Aaron's, Lemme try and figure out what's exactly causing it, then I can help you out.

[Stickly Man!]

@Aaron113: Hmm, not sure how it happened, but the reason on this ban is causing problems:

Code: [Select]

"STEAM_0:0:16838153"   
{
   "time"   1272945085
   "unban"   0
   "admin"   "<<-{RAPTOR}->>Kitten(STEAM_0:1:15537435)"
   "name"   "Professional Pothead"
   "reason"   "\"Reason \" spamming Thrusters"
}Change it to something like this to fix it:

Code: [Select]

"reason"   "Spamming Thrusters"
@dracotonisamond Check your garrysmod/data/ULib/bans.txt file for errors similar to this, or send me your banlist and I can take a look for you.
