XGUI stuck on "Getting data: bans - 94.44%"

[The Asian Aimbot]

ULib v2.61
ULX v3.71

Sandbox

Recently whenever I load up the XGUI, the little "loading progress bar" gets stuck on "Getting data: bans - 94.44%".
The XGUI will not refresh any entries, although they do however physically change.

I don't know if this is related to the problem, but it's appearing suddenly.

Huh, that is odd. Is it happening just for you? Or for other admins on your server as well? There might be a corrupted ban data that's causing some issues. Could you send me your bans.txt and cfg/banned_users.cfg files so I can test locally on my server when I get a moment?

[The Asian Aimbot]

I am unsure at this time if any other admins are experiencing this problem, nobody has mentioned the problem yet. Both files are empty.
Also, the problem is preventing anything I do in the XGUI from "completing" or successfully altering whatever I changed. (Contrary to what I said earlier)

[The Asian Aimbot]

I apologize, but now whenever I use URM to add something to a loadout, it seems to refresh it but it gets stuck on bans at 92% and this appears.

Both files are empty.

Just to make sure, you're checking the files on your SERVER, and not your client, right? They should be garrysmod/cfg/banned_users.cfg and garrysmod/data/ulx/bans.txt.

If those are still empty, are you running a SQL-based custom ban solution, or some kind of sourcebans setup?

[The Asian Aimbot]

That is correct, both files are empty. I checked in my server files. I am currently not using any third-party administration software.

Update on the situation.
Upon using URM to add a weapon to a loadout, bans became stuck at 92%, using it again, it seems to have fixed the issue. I'll let you guys know should the issue return.

Edit: It's been a couple hours later now, the problem returns upon map change, server restart, etc. Sometimes trying to fix it this way doesn't work at all.

Looks like you're not alone with this issue. Could you post your addon list and (if you have the time) try disabling some addons to see if it starts working again?

[The Asian Aimbot]

Welp, here is every addon on the server.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=619060728

I also installed some other addons into the server addons folder, mainly ULX modules/commands. They include:

ACF
Apple's Chat Tags
Apple's Join/Disconnect Warning
AWarn2 (The free version)
Cobalt's Custom Commands
ULX Fakename
Mail
ULX Rocket
ULX Force Respawn
ULX Give Weapon
ULX PlayURL
ULX Setspawn
ULX Set Utime
ULX Simple Reports
GeoIP
URM
UTime

Also, I have no clue as to what might have caused this, and due to the sheer amount of addons I have installed, I'll just disable all addons momentarily to see what happens.

Edit: I have disabled all the workshop addons and the problem remained. I didn't disable the ones in the server directory due to the fact that they haven't caused me problems before.

[Stickly Man!]

Run a "ulx debuginfo" on your server, and send me the output (debugdump.txt). I will compare with the addon list from the other guy and see what matches. Good to know that the workshop addons weren't causing the issue, that'll help us narrow it down. If you can try to strip your server down to just ULX/ULib on sandbox temporarily and see if it persists, that'll help too.

[The Asian Aimbot]

Unfortunately, the server was hacked the day before and some files may have been altered. The debugdump may be obsolete as it was generated 2 days ago. I'll generate a second one that is up-to-date, however the hijacking completely obliterated ULX and now it's non-functional, so I don't know if it will even be accurate.

Also thanks for taking the time out of your day helping me, I appreciate that

[Stickly Man!]

Well, I didn't find anything too interesting, but here's a rough list of addons you have in common with the other guy:

Code: [Select]

workshop ID 104480013 (Weight STool)
workshop ID 104815552 (SmartSnap)
workshop ID 160250458 (Wiremod)
workshop ID 185609021 (atmos)
awarn2
ulib
ulx
urm
utime
You can try removing these first if you like, but I would really like to see ONLY ulx/ulib running on vanilla sandbox to see if the problem goes away. (That is, if this is still an issue since your server data files got messed up). Hope this helps! 

[The Asian Aimbot]

I apologize, but fixing the server is going to take a bit because ULX still doesn't seem to function. I've reset it, reinstalled the files, etc. Going to try a fresh restart and see if anything changes.

[MrPresident]

When you reset it, did you remove the data files?

garrysmod/data/ulx
garrysmod/data/ulib

??

This is an important step in resetting ULX.

[The Asian Aimbot]

I did.

I reset it a second time and it seems to work now. I'm currently slowly adding addons.
