Spawn with a Different ULX Group?

[Kable732]

I'm in need of dire help, I'm trying to make it so people don't spawn in as a user but as the Newbie group that inherits from user. This would make things a lot easier for me. And as an added question, I have UTime and I wanna find a way to where people get upgraded from Newbie to Regular, etc etc. I've been having this issue since I started my server, I'm really bad at this group thing. If you wanna find me or talk to me, you can add me on Skype or on Steam. Skype: Kable732 Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kable732

You are looking for AutoPromote. Why do you want users to start at a different group?

[Kable732]

Yeah, AutoPromote, is it a Script? And why I want to do it is so that people start out as a Newbie and then get Regular. I can't change the "Team" of user or else I get a crap ton of LUA errors when people try to spawn stuff in.

Just added the AutoPromote, works fine, but I'm not allowed to make Teams sadly, I get so many problems...

Do not modify Gmod specific teams.  (user, admin, superadmin).
Those are expected in Gmod.
You won't only break ULX, you'll break Gmod and all scripts. That's why you're getting errors.
Instead, create a new group called newbie.
Then 'auto promote' people into that group after the smallest amount of time the autopromote script you're using allows. (1 minute?)

I did exactly that, I did not modify any of those. I need to rename them using Uteam, so my tags will work. I've made new groups, did not modify "user, operator, admin, and superadmin", those are the same. The way my server hierarchy is "user, newbie, peasant, regular, donator, donator+, vip, vip+, respected, trailop, operator, headop, admin, headadmin, and superadmin." I can't seem to use teams to be able to rename anything or else things go down the drain. Because I'm using tags, I need to make teams so people know who is who in the game, regarding their ranks and NOT their jobs.

Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with how DarkRP or any other RP mod stores 'job' information.
I thought it would be 'team' based though, so, UTeam wouldn't work if that's the case I'd think.

Sorry, someone else more in the know would need to chime in.

Alright, but thank you for trying to help me in the best of your abilities, I've been having this problem for a while. I'll wait for someone who might know about this issue.

You never did answer the template questions when posting your first post to this section of the forum.
What do you get when you run "ulx version"?
And what lua error(s) do you get when you try to enable UTeam?

DarkRP doesn't work like that.

It is team based, but to my knowledge, it doesn't work off of UTeam. It has its OWN teamsets which you configure in the darkrpmodification (you are using that, riiiiiight?) jobs.lua.
