Admin Help

How do i add an admin from the console on my server?

[pissoffboi]

you type "rcon_password (password here)"

then you type rcon ulx adduser (your steam name here) superadmin

[MrPresident]

halfway right...
If you are already on your console.. you dont need to type rcon_password

and what he means by steamname is your player name.. and you have to be in game to do it that way.

well i own the server but when i type ulx usermanagementhelp it tells me that, that is an advansed help for admins. idk why

[MrPresident]

If it is a dedicated server, it has no admins by default.. it doesnt know who you are and that you own it when you join. You have to tell it who you are.. and to do that you need to join your server.. and from your dedicated server conosle you should type ulx adduser <name> superadmin then your server will store that data and it'll begin recognizing you as an admin.

OK now how do i edit my Motd with out putting a new file on the server or do i simply edit the file and add it idk

[MrPresident]

you can not edit your MOTD from in game if that is what you are asking.. you need to edit the motd.txt file and upload it to your garrysmod/ directory.. the root directory with all the other folders in it. ULX will read it from there, and it'll be safe from you overwriting it when updating.

I went into the server and i acidentally deleted the group admin so all my admins were erased, then i tried to readd it and now when they type !menu all the get is the Motd thing. then i deleted Ulx and Ulib and reinstalled it on the server and restarted the server and its still doing it

Ok well i tried to Delete Ulx from the server useing and FTP client and it deletes except for one file that will not delete. its the lua module in ulib with the file extension dlll and i cannot overwire it or anything so icannot reinstall ULX can anyone help me?

[JamminR]

That file won't erase unless server is shut down. Its the file that allows cexec functions within ULib.

[MrPresident]

make sure you are also deleting Data/ULib folders too if you are trying to fix a groups/access issue by reinstalling.

ok so where do i find this file?

[MrPresident]

ULX includes it in Addons/ULX but you should edit it to your liking and then put it in Garrysmod/ root directory.. that way it isnt uverwritten when you update ULX
