Title: Server crash on boot caused (possibly) by ULX..?
Post by: Bytewave on January 29, 2014, 02:31:29 PM
So i did some edits to users.txt and groups.txt earlier (yes, i know it's a bad idea...), and I rebooted my server to make the changes take effect...
...and my server just stopped booting.
After viewing my console log, I found nothing but a cutoff after a few of the ULX "I loaded myself and these modules" messages.
After I removed ULX and ULib as per request by my GSP, my server booted fine.
I have my ULX and ULib data files on a read-only anonymous FTP server with this login:
Hostname:ftp.ponypwnage.net
Username:anonymous@ponypwnage.net
If anyone cam check those files out for me, that would be nice. :)
If you guys need any other files, just tell me.

So many different quirks, any one could be causing issue, and should be obvious 'hmm, this doesn't look right' to you too.
For now, just a QUICK review of groups.txt.
I've not even started testing bracket/syntax yet.

uvip group -
unmapvote and mapvote - are those 3rd party ULX commands? If so, they're missing "ulx", ie "ulx unmapvote"

trusted-
bring,kick,slap,slay missing "ulx"

Line 154 -
" " group name.
Not sure that will work.

supervisor -
"ulx" "addgroup" - not proper format. "ulx addgroup"

superadmin -
"" "!tp" - not sure what you were trying, but that doesn't look right. Nul might give error on parse.

Yeah, those permission quirks were from other admins with groupallow. Everything worked fine before I changed the can_target and inheritance of co-owner and owner, plus moved a few permission lines from owner to co-owner...
EDIT: Also messed with the entry for |PP| Vinyl Scratch. Should be the first or second entry.

*bump*
If it helps, i was using a mobile Subline-style FTP client/code editor called FTP Manager.
:p

One more thing- I'm kinda not up-to-date on both GMod and ULX/ULib, it that makes any difference...
I'm planning to update tomorrow- just been withholding due to the daunting process.

Double bump, because I have a new update.
I updated ULX and ULib to the SVN releases, and ran a GMod update via my GSP's CPanel, with no results.
So, does anyone have any help they can give..? I'm at a loss at this point...

One more thing-
This is the last few lines of my console.log...
The server crashes after ucl.lua loads...
Code: [Select]

EDIT: I have modded a few files in ULX/ULib...
Here they are:

ULX:
motdmenu.lua
ULib (unconfirmed; will confirm tomorrow):
player.lua (for SBans integration)

Not sure that will work.
Technically though, space is not nil.
