GMod/ULX Update broke groups for addons (CHAT TAGS)

[spikey_247]

Hello,

I hope this is in the right spot/thread.

Since the gmod update, and the ULX update to fix this, all my addons aren't working, and I have no idea why! Well, when I say my addons aren't working, let me be more specific. There is two addons that don't work, which use ULX groups.

The first is Pointshop. This uses ULX groups to allow donators (those in the donator groups) to see certain items that standard players cant see. This worked fine until the update, but now no one can see these items, even though nothing has changed in the way of groups or pointshop?

The second is chat tags. I used a basic chat tags addon before the update which again used the ULX groups to give players a chat tag depending on their group. This stopped working after the update, and yep - you guessed it - I changed nothing to do with ULX (except updating) or chat tags. So with this addon I tried to get a later version, which is when I found apple's chat tags (a better updated version of the chat tags I used before) and set this up as I should. However, this still does not work (and yes I have been restarting the server between changes and ensuring that no other addons are conflicting with them).

If anyone could help me, or let me know if there is anything that I need to change, that will be great!

I can post my whole groups file here if you need me to, but for now here is basically what my groups consist of (yes there is a user group and superadmin group etc. this is an example):

Code: [Select]

"silverdonator"
{
"allow"
{
"ulx asay"
"ulx donate"
"ulx help"
"ulx motd"
"ulx psay"
"ulx stopsounds"
"ulx thirdperson"
"ulx unvotegag"
"ulx unvotemute"
"ulx votegag"
"ulx votekick"
"ulx votemap"
"ulx votemap2"
"ulx votemute"
"xgui"
}
"can_target" "!%silverdonator"
"inherit_from" "bronzedonator"
}
I will then use silverdonator (and so on) as the group name in the addons (same as I did before the update when it worked) but it doesn't work anymore.


Thank You,

Spikey

bump?

The workaround I found was removing the category and modifying pointshop items to only be buy-able if you're in (x) group.

[spikey_247]

That sounds good. I will give that a go.

What about the chat tags not working? Does anyone have a new mod to allow custom chat tags that works with this update? All I am getting now is the actual group name rather than the custom tags I supplied (such as "golddonator" rather than "GOLD". I cant change the actual group name as the tags for admin and superadmin need to show up different (STAFF and OWNER)?

For Gold donator, it should show as [GOLD] but it shows as [golddonator].
