Kicking or banning causes clientside crashing.
« on: May 10, 2010, 09:58:46 AM »
It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen, but it's bugging me out. I've reinstalled ULX/ULib a dozen times, changed gamemodes, everything.

1/5 times when a user is kicked or banned, it results in almost every client's HL2.EXE crashing, except for the person who did the kick/ban.

This is a serious issue, and I have no idea how to resolve it. :(

I have noticed this before, doesn't really seem to be happening anymore but... sometimes when I would kick/ban a person their screen would turn completely black and he/she would have to restart their gmod to play again.
Mine experience might not be the same as yours and I"m not even sure if it has happened lately.

If/when you don't have ULX and ULIb installed... and then kick or ban someone...does it happen then?

Nope. We're using super basic Assmod for kicking/banning people, and ULX for everything else. They run concurrently with no issues.

Problems only start happening when users are kicked or banned, only with ULX. It's a really odd phenomenon. :c

I forget what version your running (release or SVN)... either way, make sure you're getting them from ulyssesmod.net
Also, tried banning/kicking without Assmod?
What mods had you added before this started?
Seems odd to have just started happening.

We've seen some oddities related to the Gmod update/downdate/update(s).
If after test removing assmod doesn't correct it,
Backup/remove data/ULib and data/ULX and data/ULX_LOGS ... remove addons/ULib addons/ULX... then reinstall ULIb / ULX, test, then add back Assmod, test.

One other question though, why not ULX for kicking / banning too, get rid of the other possibly conflicting mod?
Or was assmod only added after ulx seemed to start crashing?

Also... does it crash from chat or from console or from menu (or all/some/none)?

We're running the newest SVN version as of yesterday.

And no, we were only running ULX, but after the update we started crashing every time someone used !kick or !ban.. Not sure about the console commands yet. It would kick the user and then crash almost everyone in the server EXCEPT for the person who initiated the kick.

We installed ASSMod after that for admins to kick players with. We found that to be too confusing after awhile, so we removed it, and we're back to only using ULX. So we'll see what happens, but there have been no signs of clientside crashing (yet).

Other mods we have installed are: PHX, Wire, ULX_ClearDecals, MadCow's Weapons, Wire Money Detector, Catmull-Rom Cameras, and other small-scale mods.

I wasn't able to replicate this on my server, but this is happening to you 100% of the time?

This also happens on my server occasionally. From what I've heard it's a problem with Garry's Mod, not ULX or ULib.

No idea if it's same issue, but I do remember seeing that months ago. It's now (currently as of this post) on page 9 of the Facepunch forums gmod lua section.

Well, good to know it's not our fault at least :)
