ULX doesnt keep keep user rank on restart

[achexi]

Hi, I've been trying for a few hours to setup my ULX admin for players on the server. Whenever i restart the server (its dedicated) it will not add the user rankings.
example:
if i made "bob" superadmin via console. The users.txt in garrysmod\data\  will contain the details showing hes a superadmin. And on the server he will be a superadmin. But on restart it doesnt seem to load users.txt because Noone will be a superadmin..etc.

Is this SVN, latest revision both ULib and ULX?
Or the latest 'release' versions downloaded from ulyssesmod.net?
What ULib or ULX errors at startup of the server occur?
Though it sounds as though you're adding the user correctly, please follow every step in our "Having trouble with access?" FAQ.
If following every step in order hasn't helped by time you reach all of them, the information you provide as part of the steps will help us help you.

heres a debug of the server, please be aware this is AFTER i entered the rcon command in the dedicated to change me to admin.

There are no errors that come up. Just the fact that there is no user ranks, although the user.txt shows the ranks in there, its just not applied to server. Just before running this debug i deleted groups + misc.txt and restarted, added admin and restarted again to check but still had this problem. Im using SVN ulx + ulib. Tried the release. Same problem. And to make it clear. im not prone to failure. I used ULX on my last server without problems.

I'm not exactly sure, but you seem to be pulling in a strange entry from your admins which may be causing a problem:

Code: [Select]

   ÿþ:
      allow:
      deny:
Are you using gmod's settings\users.txt file to add admins at all? Or just ULib's data\ULib\users.txt?
Since you only have 3 admins, maybe you could try deleting/moving/renaming both of those files (if they exist), restart your server, then readd your admins via "ulx adduser" and see if that helps?

[Megiddo]

Run ulx debuginfo after you restart and show us the output.

[achexi]

Yes sorry, i did try adding myself to gmods own user.txt because i heard ulx can also import that to it. Ill remove it and get you a debug.

[JamminR]

Remember, we're trying to get a debug from you after you'd used adduser and after a server restart, when you state it's not working.
The last debug you gave us was after you'd used adduser, but before a restart, and it looks fine from what we can tell with exception of the part Stickly Man pointed out.

The default gmod/settings/users.txt is fine to use, and yes, ULX will follow it. Formatting is key with it though. A missing bracket or quotation mark can cause problems.

[achexi]

currently unable to obtain a debug. Just to update. it seems ALL servers running ULX with a darkrp mod have this issue so it needs to be addressed. Ive come across 4 servers so far all running SVN ulx and have this issue, so its not just me.

DarkRP modifies some core ULib and ULX code, so if there's a problem with it there's not a whole lot that I can do about it directly. I've been working with the latest DarkRP author to get the issue worked out, but I haven't had time to come to a full resolution with him yet. The DarkRP author has good intentions in modifying our code, we just need to find the core issue here...

[JamminR]

And technically, that means it's DarkRP code is broken, not that ULX is broken.
We're used to Garry changing things in Gmod and having to work around it.
However, when another developer attempts to change ULib code functions, that means the issue is on the other developer.

[Fleamonji]

DarkRP SVN has FAdmin, which has its own user group system.

That is the issue.
