Alt Account Detected?

[fr0stbite]

Ive turned my head to ulx due to this issue after looking through everything i could even uninstalling and re installing the addon, My friend tries to join but his account keeps getting detected as a alt account and gets banned. Ive cleared my logs, cfg, data, and xgui completely with any bans and still he will get banned? Is there a way around this or make a exception for his SteamID?

Unless my team has added new checks, and I've just searched for 'alt or alternate' in our repository, ULX has no alternate account check system for bans.
Therefore, you'll have to find the addon that's doing it, or the 'related' ban id or ip, and remove it.
If it's a "Source" feature added to Gmod, you'll have to find the 'related' steam id and remove it.

I literally have no other addon that bans users, the problem persists with ulx because when i remove ulx completely the user can connect freely, ive installed other admin addons and they work fine. "serverguard", "evolve", and "exsto" these all allow users to connect freely. Reading up on ULX, the addon has a gban feature that is activated upon ban, whether a user was banned from an ip or steamid this feature logs this somewhere, but there must be a glitch because literally there are no bans at all and he still gets detected as an alt account.

Is there a way to completely disable "ulx gban" or any other Ip, or SteamID looking feature for this addon, otherwise im stripping "sv_ban" completely and just use 2 admin addons for this server.

Uban - which uses "ulx gban" is not directly included with ULX (if you obtained it from our Github repository).
Gban info can be found here - http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,921.0.html
You would have had to download it, set up a SQL server, and configure it and add it to your server.
I'm not disagreeing that ULX might be involved, as it's possible something you've installed, including obtaining ULX through non-official sites (that is, not OURS), or another admin mod, might be using ULX to ban the person.
I'm just saying, ULib, and ULX itself, our non-edited by someone else code, has no text that states 'alt' or 'alternate' in any text within it.
I've searched both our ULib and our ULX repositories. I find no mention of alternate.

Did you obtain ULib and ULX from our repository?
What is the 'exact' wording of the ban.
Have you reviewed your Xgui ban menu, looking over the reasons to make sure someone didn't do a temporary ban perhaps due to "alternate accounts"?
All ULX temp bans are stored in server/data/Ulib/bans.txt.

Just searched for the word "detect" in our code too.

Nothing found relating to text stating that reason, only mentions of code to 'detect' other things.

Try installing from their SVN, because I personally do not have this problem.

My custom commands addon from leak.sx has some bad code in it that shouldn't be in there which bans people who have a certain text file in their data folder. If you're using it make sure to use the latest version from my github and not download from leak.sx.

i used the default installer provided by the website and directly installed it on a ftp server, no commands or external addons for ulx was added.ill try the svn version of this later tonight when there are no one on the server.

Fr0st, though I definitely know you getting our latest github code will help several other compatibility issues that Gmod updates have caused over the past year, I'm uncertain it will fix your original issue.
Please make sure to let us know afterward.
If still exists, give copy/paste exact detail of the message printed.
Attach your server's data/Ulib/bans.txt
And, attach the file created and listed when, from _server_ console or rcon, you run "ulx debuginfo"
