How to install???
« on: August 24, 2015, 09:07:20 PM »
K, first things first, I am running windows 10, but I don't think that's the problem here because the server I am using works just fine. Anyways, I installed ULX with the installer that you gave us and I checked to make sure that ULX and ULib were in the addons folder (they are) but it still isn't loading the mod on startup. Is there an addon.txt file that is supposed to go in there with it?

The addon.txt file is deprecated. You don't need it.

Make sure that your folder structures look like this.


garrysmod/addons/ulx/lua
garrysmod/addons/ulib/lua

What I'm trying to get at is, make sure that the top level folder for the addon is the folder that contains the lua and data folders.
A common mistake when installing is to list the directory one too deep.

ex: garrysmod/addons/ulx/ulx/lua
etc etc

This is exactly how it is structured, but it still doesn't work....

I don't know when the last time the installer was updated. Can you try downloading it from the git repository so that you have the latest version?

https://github.com/Nayruden/Ulysses/archive/master.zip

A couple folders into that are the ulib and ulx folders. Place those into your addons folder and try that.

Ok, I just figured it out. You have to go to the G-Mod addons folder as opposed to the server addons folder. So in my case I was putting it in <garrysmod server location>\addons while it was supposed to be <garrysmod server location>\garrysmod\addons Thanks for the help Mr President :)

No problem. You should still use the version I linked you though.
