Hello,
Every time I run my server I get this error. I have tried re-installing both ULX and ULIB, but I still get this error. I have also disabled any new addons and still have this error. This causes xgui to not work and ULX to break, for example groups do not work, noclip doesn't work, etc. Do you know what is causing this error? I have not modified anything from the ULX files and have not changed any base game files.

That error is not common, nor something directly inherit in our code.
Did you attempt to edit adverts?
That loop is what edits the advert colors.

Sorry for the late reply.
I have not edited anything from ulx yet, all I have done is add ranks and edit the MOTD. Is it possible another addon is causing conflict? I even deleted and re installed the ULX and ULIB folders but still get the error.

Yes, that error is caused by an improperly formatted adverts.txt file.

It's hard to say exactly who or what caused this without some more information.

To better understand this problem, can you attach <garrysmod>/data/ulx/adverts.txt to your next post?

You can attach a file directly to your post. When you Reply, click the "Attachments and other options" link to open an upload form.

This is my adverts.txt from garrysmod/data/ulx/data . Just a plain file, nothing in there.

[Timmy]

The very first line of that file is:

Code: [Select]

--#NoSimplerr#
That's what is causing the error.

Lua comments (--) do not work in this file. The adverts.txt file uses a semicolon (;) for comments instead.

Delete or comment that first line, then restart your server. That should fix the error.
