Title: ulx.adduserid throwing errors

took me a while to pinpoint adduserid being the error, and it's throwing this error of which I cannot seem to solve, it only seems to like the usergroup as a number, where it's saved in my database as a string, likewise with the steamID

this error

which leads to

and I can't really make any sense of what's going on anywhere in the log file.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There are two issues here.

First, you really shouldn't be calling ulx.adduserid for your use case (I understand this works for a lot of people for their needs, but it was not something I designed around); instead, call ULib.ucl.addUser (http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/server/ucl-lua.html#ucl.addUser). Or if you really want to keep using the ULX command, call it from console using RunConsoleCommand (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/RunConsoleCommand).

Second, which directly addresses your problem, you're passing nil to calling_ply which would never be nil under normal circumstances (the server console is simply an invalid entity). I haven't actually verified this is the issue, but I'm fairly confident it is.
