Title: !menu not working. - More info
Post by: Tact1cal on August 10, 2010, 03:59:20 PM
When I join my server it says I'm the superadmin there, which I am. But it still wont let me use !menu. It worked just fine before I downloaded this addon: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=47078
Which is a scoreboard addon for my server. But I am uncertain of what the cause might be, Ive recently downloaded wire and a couple of tools succsessfully. (No luascripterrors or anything.)
Ive tried to type rcon ulx adduser tact1cal superadmin. It says that I've been added to the superadmin group but it still wont let me use !menu. Even after a rejoin. Ive restared my server a couple of times too. Now im out of luck and comming here! :)

I'm happy for all the replies I might get! I love this admin mod, been using for as longs as I can remember.

EDIT:
Downloaded the SVN version. and now absolutely nothing is working.
Btw, The spellcheck button seems to be broken. :/

Sounds like you probably messed up your access files. Delete users.txt and groups.txt from garrysmod/data/ulib.

And if you're using the SVN, you should probably check out XGUI instead of using the old ULX menus :P

Stick, SHAME!!
Let's try to get SVN users working, THEN perhaps complicate things more by cool addons like XGUI.
:P

Tactical,
 first, if you type in game console "ulx menu" then go back to game screen, do you get a menu?
If not, any error in game console?
Any error in server console?

If ulx menu works, Did anything you downloaded monitor chat?
Remember, some things that look for "!<blah>" in chat have a big chance of breaking ulx if the programmer didn't do it right.

Alright thanks for the help guys! I just went ahead and deleted the whole thing and downloaded some random ULX from gmod.org. Works fine now! :)
Though, I deleted my scoreboard.   ;D

Tactical, bad. Very bad.
We do not recommend that.
We've seen many admin mods not meant to be released at gmod.org get exploits included.
We really would prefer you download using latest SVN.

Hmm.. ***get's an idea***


Download ULX... code in backdoor to allow myself admin and lots of crazy backdoor access... Repackage it and release is on garrysmod.org as a stable working release of ULX... Add a sv_tag so that servers running my version are easy to spot and then go wreak havoc...

See why this could be a bad thing? Do yourself a favor.. download official releases only.. if it doesn't work, that is why ULX has some of the best support around.

Oh, that does indeed not sound good. thing is, that I dont "own" the server, so I can to go in there and make the folders an SVN checkout.  I can only access it through the controlpanel I get from my provider, and a thirdparty tool that lets me upload folders and whatnot. I tried the good old copy/paste the folders from the SVN version. But that didnt work and is the reason to why I am here in the first place.

If you have TortoiseSVN client installed on your computer, you can download the ULib/ULX svn, then right click on each folder, and click on TortoiseSVN -> Export...

This will let you copy ulx or ulib to a new folder, but it doesn't copy any of the svn-related files and folders. Perhaps then you can upload it to your server?

Also, who is your host.. I've done my fair share of shared server hosting before I saw the light (and the bill....) and went dedicated. Most providers (if they are any good) will give you access to FTP to your server. So you can easily upload folders and files. Then on top of that.. if you upload it as a .zip which makes it WAY easier to upload a folder of files. The TCAdmin control panel will let you unzip the contents of a .zip file into the directory it is located in. Just do your research.. Trust me.. it's possible and I bet it's easier than you know.
