Have you ever wanted to restrict players to say, 10 explosive barrels at a time? Sick of people making 50 bridges at a time? If so, Uppl is for you!

Pronunciation: "Up-ehl"

Installation:
Extract the uppl folder to garrysmod/addons

Insert limits into a config

Usage:
uppl_add <model> <number> -- Limit a prop to a certain number.
uppl_disabled <0/1> -- Enable/Disable Uppl on the fly.
uppl_affectadmins <0/1> -- Defaults to 1, set to 0 so admins aren't affected.

FAQs:
Q: Does the normal duplicator, Adv Dup, and Overload's Stacker support this?
A: The first two work out of the box with Uppl, but the Stacker STOOL needs some modification. See this thread for modification instructions.

Suggested Limits:

Want to suggest a model to add to our default limits? You MUST give us the full model AND a picture of what it looks like in game AND why you think it should be restricted.

Nope GD...
Uppl, its not a drink (Snapple)

We tried different names. It's all Megidd's fault for going with my bad suggestion. :P

You forgot a value for citadel. You'll get the "You need at least two arguments for this command." error.

So change
Code: [Select]
uppl_add models/props_combine/combine_citadel001.mdl
To
Code: [Select]
uppl_add models/props_combine/combine_citadel001.mdl 1

I haven't tested it yet, but this look awesome. I hope it works! No more people crashing our server with huge/annoying props :)

Thanks.

But i have one question : where to find server.cfg? do you mean server_cfg.txt , from the garrysmod/cfg folder ??

I have been working all day testing which props cause enough lag to bring the server to a standstill. This includes collisions, physics, and props that spawn inside itself. This does not include props that give major fps lag or just plain messy props. I'll update this list after I finish each section.

Todo: CS and DoD.

Good list! Nothing from PHX or GMOW3?

Also, I'm planning on making an anti-spammer in the next version. My idea is to ignore dupes and stacks and only make it work for direct spawning. (Yah I realize this is sorta cheezy but I really don't see a way to make it effective on stacks and dupes)

Chaussette's Spam Protection script, worked wonders for anti-spamming but it disallowed the ability to use adv duplicator. For this reason only, I couldn't use it on my servers. When I used it, anything more then 1 sec delay pissed off the builders. Setting it to .5 seconds seemed to be a good compromise but you can still spam a server with that. I ended up seeing no point in having a spam protector since most spams will be caught by an admin anyways. Just look how PHPirate bans many a day just buy looking at his logs. Don't get me wrong, Uppl is very nice for keeping a server stable. I just think it would be more useful as a limiter then a spawn delayer. Just my $0.02.

And for the Uppl list, I'll work on DoD and CSS later. I'm taking a break for now. I probably wont test the add-on props, you seemed to nail the bad boys in that group anyways. Remember my list is for stability only, not annoyance factor. ;)

I had problems with some of these limits not working. I discovered that after a certain amount of these lines, others are not executed. Before these restriction lines, i have a few (say 50) addForcedDownload commands. If i disable these forced download (also what you mean Forced (as people can still avoid to download them with a concommand that i can't remember) ?), all is working again.

I've put all the lines into the ulx/lua/ulx/configs/server.ini, maybe that's the problem? Don't you have any problem with many commands being executed at server start ?

I actually stick it in server.cfg, and there's no problems. I'll have to try putting it in server.ini, don't know why it would be giving you any trouble though.

Do i have to enclose all of these commands in "" in order for them to work?
