UTeam - Set teams based on usergroup.

[mrm]

Hello, I have uteam installed on my server, and for the most part it works well, but it doesnt want to work with some groups. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{
"teams"
{
"1"
{
"name" "UberAdmin"
"group" "uberadmin"
"armor" "1000"
"hp" "1000"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "51"
"g" "255"
"r" "102"
}
"plytable"
{
"1" "SprintSpeed:1000"
"2" "WalkSpeed:500"
}
}
"2"
{
"name" "SuperAdmin"
"group" "superadmin"
"armor" "500"
"hp" "500"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "0"
"g" "153"
"r" "255"
}
}
"3"
{
"name" "Admins"
"group" "admin"
"armor" "500"
"hp" "500"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "255"
"g" "153"
"r" "51"
}
}

                "4"
{
"name" "Moderators"
"group" "moderator"
"armor" "200"
"hp" "200"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "0"
"g" "0"
"r" "153"
}
}

               
                "5"
{
"name" "Members"
"group" "member"
"armor" "150"
"hp" "150"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "255"
"g" "153"
"r" "51"
}
}
               
                "6"
{
"name" "Goldmembers"
"group" "goldmember"
"armor" "500"
"hp" "500"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "51"
"g" "255"
"r" "255"
}
}
                "7"
{
"name" "Operators"
"group" "operator"
"armor" "200"
"hp" "200"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "0"
"g" "200"
"r" "255"
}
}
"8"
{
"name" "Players"
"group" "user"
"color"
{
"a" "255"
"B" "204"
"g" "204"
"r" "204"
}

}
}
"gamemodes"
{
"1" "Sandbox"
"2" "SpaceBuild"
}
}

It all works except for the goldmember group, which is the same blue as members for some reason.

Edit: I believe this belongs in the off topic section, sorry.

mrm,
Try the attached file as your UTeam.txt (you'll need to change its name as saving it of course)
Restart your server after saving it.
Let me know if it works, and I'll explain why.
If not, my theory is wrong.

[mrm]

Thankyou for your work on trying to fix my problem. Unfortunately, goldmembers are still blue. Hopefully you have another theory?

[JamminR]

Sure the group name matches?
Does your groups.txt file somehow have a capital letter instead of all lowercase? Goldmember instead of goldmember?
Lua is case sensitive, though our console commands always turn group entry into lowercase, we often see manual edits of the groups.txt file done in incorrect case.
Is it plural? goldmembers instead of goldmember?
Your Uteam file doesn't use plural.

My original theory involved whitespace issues. We've seen Glua's table and file.read commands have trouble with them in the past.

[mrm]

Thats the first thing I checked, and its all perfect. I honestly don't know what It could be.

[JamminR]

Please attach your gmod/data/ULib/groups.txt, and go ahead and run/attach a ulx debuginfo while a member of the goldmember's group is connected.

[mrm]

Here is the short version of the debug:

Code: [Select]

Results:
KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got empty keyname in file In
Users, admin,
KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got empty keyname in file In
Users, (*admin*),
KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file In
(*Users*), (*admin*),
Debug information written to garrysmod/data/ulx/debugdump.txt on server.

and groups is the exact same one you gave me. If you need the WHOLE debug, tell me and i will attach it. Mostly just useless info though.

[JamminR]

groups.txt is not the same as uteam.txt
Groups are not the same as teams.
It seems your users.txt file is corrupt; most likely the gmod default /settings/users.txt
Check for missing brackets and or quotes.
Also, check server startup for errors regarding ULib startup.
If the users.txt file in settings is a bit off, ULib would probably let you know.

[mrm]

sorry misread lol. I know groups n teams aren't the same. I shall check all those things now

Btw, I don't use the default users.txt for anything.

Attached groups.txt - divided it into sections with //title for ease of scanning - don't have those in the actual server one.

[JamminR]

Might be due to inheritance.
Your goldmember inherits member, which then inherits user.
Try having member inherit_from no group { }
(Users is inherited by all groups by default - no need to specify it)

I have other questions.  Though I don't normally do this, to keep from filling this thread with what I don't believe to be a UTeam issue, I'm going to email you. If resolution is found and not to be UTeam related, I'll split topic.

[JamminR]

Unfortunately, I was unable to help mrm.
I'll continue to look at the files he sent me, but unless it's a whitespace issue in ULib 2.3, and Uteam, all syntax seems correct.

[Megiddo]

Somethings gotta be throwing those keyvalue errors, looks like it's probably originating from C++...

[JamminR]

He may have some whitespace in his Gmod users.txt (not ULib)
Though I had him remove the "admin" { "" "" } bit he had, I didn't actually send him a modded file.
May try that next.

It seems I am having a similar problem as Darkflamer. After entering the server, I am put into the "unassigned" team for some reason (despite me being a superadmin). And for some odd reason, it only does it when the server is running spacebuild. On sandbox mode, this mod works perfectly. As soon as I change the gamemode, I get put in unassigned. I retain the superadmin powers but I am not put into the proper team.

I am a bit unsure as to what to enter into the UTeam.txt file under "gamemodes." I tried adding second one called "Spacebuild2" (because that's what it's currently called in its data.txt file) but that didn't work.

How can I get my teams to work in different gamemodes other than sandbox?

Edit: Nevermind, I seem to have gotten it working. I am pretty sure all I did was replaced UTeam 1.0 with UTeam 1.1. thanks anyway guys.

[Vexont]

I've rewritten my groups and uteam 3 times now and no matter what I do, everyone is named "Unassigned"

Keep in mind, I just got a new server and I haven't worked on uteam and groups for at least 5 months, so it comes as no surprise I'm just making some noob mistake.

here is the file.

Thanks in advanced!
