Server Console does not detect ULX or ULIB????

[chipery]

Hey guys ive have been runnning a gmod dedicated sandbox server, I used to have a admin thing called ASSMOD, but i encountered a problem and could not fix it... So i decided to use ULX and ULIB but they are in my server addons folder and my steam account addons folder, but when i run my server the console does not detect the folders and acts like they arent there? I downloaded it from ulyssesmod.net, I have tried using the installer and I have also done the SVN checkout, and still I cannot come up with a solution, if this matters at all my server addons folder has some addons in folders and others in .gma files from my steam workshop, everyone works exept the ULX and ULIB ones, I really want to know how to fix this, cause I won't run my server until I can do that :/. If anyone knows how to fix this assmod bug i can use assmod, I am owner in assmod and so is this other guy that I allowed to be for a short period of time (i know him in real life). But now i dont want him owner and i cant demote him... I tried deleting the .txt folder in "data" located in the gmod folder, but that didnt work and he is still owner and i dont know how to fix that. But i think that ULX and ULIB is the way to go its just that it is not working, and I really need to get this to work asap please! Thanks so much for helping me, chipery (add me on steam to play my server :p Steam Name: Chipery).

Check the following 2 folders for me.


garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/ULib/
and
garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/ULX/

What is inside those 2 folders?

There should be a couple folders in each AND (this is important) an addon.txt file in EACH of the ULX and ULib addon folders.

If you find that you have something like: garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/ULib/ULib or ULX with nothing inside of it, then you have installed the addon incorrectly.

Also, make sure you are not getting any errors at startup.




to answer your concern about the .gma files, it does not matter if you have a mix-and-match of both legacy and workshop addons.

In the Ulib Folder there is "data" and "lua" followed by addon.txt and ulib_readme.txt, in the ULX folder there is "data", "lua" addon.txt, and ulx_readme.txt and ulx_motd.txt

[MrPresident]

that is the correct layout. When you say that ULX isn't detected do you mean that the console outputs: ulx is not a valid command?

Are there any errors in your server console on startup?

[chipery]

right, it basically says ulx doesn't exist in my addons folder, here are a few pics of the console

Take a screenshot of your addons folder for me and then open ULX or ULib folder and take a screenshot of that too. I just want to rule out user error. This is odd.

ULX Folder-



Ulib Folder-

Did you completely shut down the gmod server and start it back up? It only checks for addons on a cold-boot.

[chipery]

yes i completely shut it down multiply times

[MrPresident]

Are any other addons not loaded, or is it just ULX and ULib?

I'm at a loss here. I have no idea why it wouldn't be loading. It appears to be installed correctly.

Try downloading from our svn?
By default, if using our SVN 'latest' code (either through a SVN client, or downloading the master zip), our ulib and ulx folders get created in all lower case.

[MrPresident]

He is using the SVN, the green check marks in his screenshots are testament to that. As for folder case, it doesn't matter for an addon.

[JamminR]

His original post said 'from ulyssesmod.net, and installer' ... it's possible he's got some older code base.
Our 'download' zip probably just contains svn files, and his client is picking it up.
I'd still recommend trying our latest from SVN.
