Title: Overly Large Users.txt File
Post by: Samusaaron3 on February 16, 2009, 12:40:41 PM
My users.txt file (data/ulib/users.txt) is currently 128mb in size. It has almost 5500 lines of text.

I can not open the file, and I think it is causing ulib to have problems.

What should I do?

How did you get so many users? Compress it and attach it to this thread.

Attach the file or copy/paste?

Edit: Wow, compressed its only 6kb.

Compress the file (zip, rar, 7z, etc...) and add it as an attachment to your post.

Wow... all of them appear to be unique users. Do you have an addon that's adding each user that connects to your user list?

After a bit more examination, his actual user file need only be 48k.
I found ~128mb of slashes \\\\\\\\\ in one of the user names added to the file.
I believe it's related to the same bug we fixed in SVN 17, bug 208 (http://ulyssesmod.net/bugs/view.php?id=208) regarding bans.

Samusaaron3, This is a known issue for our release ULX 3.31 version for banning people with slashes in the name. Though we'd not seen this reported for any other instance, the same would hold true for adding users with slashes in the name. We've fixed this in SVN code, and hope to have a real release soon.

I've attached the 'fixed' users.txt file for you.
You may still find a few quirks, as I notice a few myself, but hopefully none as bad as you had.
In the future, until we make a new release, be careful of adding people with slashes in the name through console. Adding through manual txt file edit should still work.

Or, feel free to help us test SVN.

I've loaded the file you uploaded, and everything seems to be better.

I am currently using APromotion, which automatically adds people to the users.txt file.

I think I will get the latest version of ulx from the svn.

Thanks!

You actually want the svn version of ulib to fix the issue. :)

I did both. Oddly enough, I now cant join the server (or any server for that matter.)

Its not only me; a couple friends all now have the same problem (flashes the white loading screen for about 1/30th of a second.)

Its.....odd.

Edit: Ok, I updated the source dedicated server files, and now people can join again. The problem is that people are not being correctly assigned to groups anymore (no one can use the !motd command, which should be available to everyone)

Any ideas?

New Steam update breaks anything relying on SteamID.
I love good plans.

I've not been able to find actual Valve news stating they changed anything, but the news is abuzz on several Gmod forums I visit.

Seems Valve has pulled what I like to call a 'Garry'.
"Oh, this change won't bother anyone!"

The fix worked. Only thing was that I had to rename a bunch of files/folders.

May I suggest using http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/ (http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/) for mass renaming.

Thanks for the help.
