Cant get admin set up

[Cam]

I have set up ULX correct but when I go to my dedicated server and when I try to use a admin command it says I do not have any admin powers and stuff.

Cam, seriously, follow all the instructions. We'll know when you did, because you'll either figure out what went wrong, or, you'll get to the step that has information for us, that can help us help you
Telling us "it doesn't work, I can't get it to work" gives us no information.

Might want to change the instructions at that link, to include the bit about editing defines.lua to stop it importing the gmod users.txt.

I know that that is what caused all of our problems when setting up the official PCGAMER Magazine (UK original) server (ooo, name dropping). It kept importing and slapping the import into the middle of our custom one, thus wrecking everything and stopping it working.

Once I found out about how to stop it importing, reinstalled our custom users.txt, and have had no problems since (except for the random stopping working that you've fixed).

Dripfed, the problem with doing that is, the sticky is aimed at having people use the default settings/users.txt file. Editing our custom one is slightly more difficult.

Actually it's a lot more difficult.

There's no reason to have the users in both text files, ULib overrides the GMod authentication system, so if you have access in ULib, you should have access in all other scripts that use the GMod authentication too.

Did find some problems with this though after a clean reinstall of the gmod platform to sort out its random crashes.

We didn't have a gmod users.txt after the reinstall, I didn't know this because my other superadmin had forgotten to reinstall it, and I couldn't work out why I could not get access to Chausettes prop protection and spam protection since I had gmod access to clean up etc as a superadmin.

Turns out that Chausette's plugin required us to have a gmod users.txt even though ULib is doing it's own thing with its own data/Ulib/users.txt

It was all rather confusing when I realised that the settings/users.txt was missing, yet knew I could do all my superadmin things...Seems it was the game using the Ulib users.txt.

Chaussette's prop & spam protection is a problem with ULib UCL. The problem comes from it checking for admin client side, which ULib UCL doesn't currently handle. If using Chaussette's addons, or any other that need to get admins client side, you need to add your users in Garry's list (at least for now), and if using a custom ULib UCL users file disable importing from default users file.
