ulx module/ulx help
« on: February 23, 2014, 07:36:45 AM »
ok so i love ulx it makes the server so easy to manage but there are some things that i want to add and stuff like that but i dont know how to make something work as a ulx module i know how to code but not sure how to do anything out side of lua\autorun\client. if anyone could send me a very simple module to kind of look at so i understand or just explain that'd be great

See the first three posts, which are pinned/sticky to never move from top of the section, of our Developers corner forum area.
One of them is a ULib documentation site, explaining the command input checks that can be used.
You may find the (several years now) old vs new ULX command structure comparison that I wrote of some use too.
(Look for bold 'New stuff here' section that is really most relevant now) - http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,4464.msg17838.html#msg17838

You said you know how to code, so I figured you'd know code short hand.
In that example, <> = variable and || = OR
/addons/<your_addon_name>/lua/ulx/modules/<your_file(s)>.lua
OR
/addons/<your_addon_name>/lua/ulx/modules/cl/<your_file(s)>.lua
OR
/addons/<your_addon_name>/lua/ulx/modules/sh/<your_file(s)>.lua
