Out of luck and options

[blacksythe]

i recently wanted to upgrade my server to the most recent ulx plugin,
I downloaded the program

I also deleted all the old versions of ulib and ulx

I then put ulib 2.1 and ulx (latest) (whats in the installer) into addons

I got nothing (except the functionality of the old ulx)

following that I deleted ulib data/ulib

NOthing at all



I then tried putting the files into their corrisponding folders in garrysmod (longshot and as you can guess it didnt work)



FInally I have emptied the addons folder cleared the caches and tried a final reinstall


nothing again




I am confused and need help

I have an option for a clean install of gmod I am going to try that but I currently dont have remote access
IS there any suggestions that I can try before th server owner does a clean install

Copy the ULib folder to garrysmod/addons/ULib
Copy the ULX folder to garrysmod/addons/ULX

Go into Garrysmod/Data and delete the ULX and ULib folders completely

Restart the server.

Any functionality at all?


make sure when you go into garrysmod/addons/ULX or ULib that there is an info.txt file as well as some folders and other files perhaps. it is a common mistake to copy a higher level folder into addons.

You keep saying "nothing".
What the heck do you mean nothing?
What are you doing? What happens when you do whatever it is you're doing.
And also...
1. NEVER, repeat, NEVER overwrite/individually extract an addon's folders into the respective folders you THINK they should go into UNLESS for some reason an author of an addon suggests it to you.
I know for a fact some of our code expects our code to reside in addons.

If by nothing you actually mean it's saying "you don't have access", then;
2. If you deleted all of the previous data/ULib/*.txt files...and you didn't follow the ulx_readme.txt file instructions for editing gmod/settings/users.txt ... then ULib has no idea who should be admin.

3. see zakap's original post

Not only that, but sometimes addon authors will name their files the same thing as GMod, such as init.lua or something along those lines. Overriding those files will indeed, break your GMod =)

when i say nothing i mean ulx is ot being recognized by the server

Im currently attempting a clean install and suggestions made ive already checked up on.

I probably should of given the full details of the problem but it was 3 in the morning and i was tired.

Make sure the installer installed into your _server_ gmod/addons
By default, it installs into a client/listen server directory. You have to tell it where your server folder is if you're running dedicated.
