groups.txt keeps making backups

[Ghost :D]

Alright, so I've been trying to get UTeam to work on my server. I do understand that it is now incorporated into ULX and I've been trying to follow the correct layout found here: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,4782.0.html

However, each time i start my server after placing my groups.txt file, it calls it the backup and creates a new groups.txt

Here is my groups.txt file

For the most part i stole DiscoBiscuit's code and changed some things. Could someone tell me what is going on? Is it ULX? or my Groups.txt...?

[Megiddo]

We strongly recommend that you don't edit the groups.txt file by hand if you don't know what you're doing. In this case, you're missing the "user" group, which is required, so ULib figures your setup is totally screwed up and loads in the default file.

[Ghost :D]

Wow, how did i miss that... lol 

Thanks, I will change it back to user and try it.

You can't make it ignore // within quoted strings?

[matthall]

I removed the comments and it is still reverting.

[Stickly Man!]

Dunno if this causes the problem, but your "minge" group shouldn't have a inherit_from "minge" line, you need to remove it.

[matthall]

No that didnt help

[Megiddo]

You can't make it ignore // within quoted strings?

I could, but it would require a tokenizer which would make it quite a bit slower. I figured using a comment header was a cleaner approach.

Also matthall, if you look at the console it will tell you what you have formatted incorrectly.

I can't see console. It is on Xenon Servers

EDIT

i tried on my own srcds, and it gives me no messages.

[Megiddo]

Thirty seconds of googling brought this up: http://www.xenonservers.com/forums/showthread.php?203-Server-Console

Ironically, they recommend using ULX to see the logs, but the condebug flag there is the real winner. I never knew about that before, seems pretty neat.

[matthall]

Ok. Got it fixed. But now UPS says not loaded on this server :/. Off to the UPS help i guess

xD

Thanks guys

[DiscoBiscuit]

My groups.txt was full of outdated and unused commands :p

[JamminR]

Hey, we back it up and convert it, not clean it (which would leave room for lots of errors if you use many custom ULX scripts which don't register ULX commands)
