Bans have weird dates.

[eagle9er9er]

Bans aren't banning properly, a Super Admin on my server banned someone for 2 days, but it says they were banned on May 25th, 2013, and unbanned May 27th. I don't undertsand.

EDIT: [ERROR] addons/ulx/lua/ulx/xgui/bans.lua:273: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'calctime' (a nil value)
  1. DoClick - addons/ulx/lua/ulx/xgui/bans.lua:273
   2. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:206

Also this. I need help ASAP

This means that your server's date and time are off. I think that error may be due to a recent change in GitHub, so I'll forward it to Stickly Man (the writer of XGUI).

Okay thanks. Please let me know when it is fixed.

[eagle9er9er]

Can someone please help me out, I'm bumping this because my bans are all set to unban 2 months ago. Any help?

Edit: These are bans that have been made this week. The unban dates are in June? This is becoming a serious problem.

I don't know how to be any clearer than this. This is a problem on your end, not ours.

How would you fix this though? I just don't really understand how this happens for no reason.

[Megiddo]

http://bit.ly/13WZYfB I do this a bit tongue in cheek, but I really don't think this is a question you should be asking us.

[eagle9er9er]

My system time is exactly what it should be. Still no fix.

*sigh* clearly you're just going to repeat the 'problem' without actually helping figure out a solution. I don't know where this server time configuration is, I have never in my life heard of that. I googled it and that was no help. First you say it's server time, then it's my systems time, now you're saying its my server time again.

Maybe facepunch will give a better solution.

Allow me! I have plenty of experience illustrating things to people in the Army.

**Server Time and System Time are the same.. thing..**

 






If you do not have access to your physical server (because you have your server hosted for you by some crappy company) then you'll need to contact them about correcting the server's Date and Time.

[MrPresident]

Also, just to be sure that we're not putting our foot in our mouth here...

from your SERVER's Console RCON run this command and post exactly what it outputs.


lua_run print(tostring(os.date("%y/%m/%d")))

If it's anything other than 13/08/13 then we have a problem.

Oh great MrPresident.
You'll make him mad at us (even more) when he runs that command tomorrow or any other time in the future.

I needed a good laugh, and what other place to come than the ULX forums.

...I just hope the facepunch forums helped him, as you've him Mr.President...

[JamminR]

I actually laughed out loud a bit when he said he was going to FP to post the question.
Didn't say anything of it...figure why fuel a growing fire of misunderstanding rage.

Hope he posts what the results of what his servers date is.
It's now an unfinished mystery with a long reach to the 'ah HA!' moment.
