-- If you care enough to fix bad scripts uncomment this following line.
-- error( "attempt to modify global variable '_'", 2 )

Wait o i add a .lua at the end of the folder or do i add .lua at the end of the thing  like thise t_ = nil -- Make sure we're starting out right.
local old__newindex = _G.__newindex
setmetatable( _G, _G )
function _G.__newindex( t, k, v )
if k == "_" then
-- If you care enough to fix bad scripts uncomment this following line.
-- error( "attempt to modify global variable '_'", 2 )
return
end

if old__newindex then
old__newindex( t, k, v )
else
rawset( t, k, v )
end
end.lua

You put it in a file in autorun, just make sure it has .lua as the extension.

if k == "_" then
-- If you care enough to fix bad scripts uncomment this following line.
-- error( "attempt to modify global variable '_'", 2 )
return
end

if old__newindex then
old__newindex( t, k, v )

Ok, I don't know how much easier I can make it.

1) Go to http://www.ulyssesmod.net (http://www.ulyssesmod.net) and copy the code.
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/copy.png)

2) Open up notepad.
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/opennotepad.png)

3) Paste the code you just coppied into notepad.
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/paste.png)

4) Save As...
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/saveas.png)

5) Navigate to "<Steam directory>/SteamApps/<account name>/garrysmod/garrysmod/lua/autorun" for listen server, or "<SRCDS dir>/garrysmod/lua/autorun" for dedicated server"
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/saveas2.png)

6) Save the file as "underscorefix.lua" (With the qotes) ( " is < Shift + ' > )
(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/spbogie/_%20fix%20guide/saveas3.png)

If you can't get it from that then I'm sorry but I can't make it any easier.
