ULX Rslots Nonfunctional on Dedicated Server

[Chris]

Hey guys. I'm having a mind-boggling (to me) problem with my dedicated server.

My users.txt file is correct, and when me and my counterpart enter the server, we are considered superadmins by ULX and GMod, and have all the powers therein. ULX works fine, all admin controls work fine, but we're having trouble getting ULX to recognise us as admins when it comes to reserved slots. I've copied over the users.txt file from garrysmod/settings to garrysmod/data/ulib just to be sure, but still nogo.

rslotsmode is set to 1, rslots is 2 (in a 6 slot server), rslotsvisible is 1, all in the server.ini file in the ulx/cfg folder.

When the server fills up with 4 people, leaving two slots left for us admins, and we try to connect, it disconnects us, saying "ULX reserved slots, sorry!". Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I've neglected to do that I've not mentioned? Please let me know (I always stop/restart the server after making any changes to any mods on the server).

(Server's name is The Buildatorium, hosted by Artofwar.com, stop by sometime.)

Give permission to the users wanting reserved slots.

[Chris]

Code: [Select]

"superadmin"
{
"allow"
{
}
"deny"
{
}
"inherit_from"
{
"admin"
}
}

That's a clip from my groups.txt file in Ulib, is this where I would add the permission? Maybe add:

Code: [Select]

"allow"
{
        "rslots"
}

Is that the right permission?

EDIT:

Or this:

Code: [Select]

"allow"
{
        "46"
}

Is this it? I'd like to know before I dive back into the miles-per-century admin panel for my server to try it...

EDIT:

Alright, according to the groups.txt in garrysmod/data/ulib, superadmins "inherit" all the permissions given to normal admins, which INCLUDES "ulx reservedslots". Why are my superadmins not able to access these reserved slots?

[Chris]

Ok, now I'm really stumped, I'm a superadmin on this server, I can "ulx slay" and all those good admin things, yet I'm not allowed by the server to do "ulx debuginfo" because I'm not an admin?

This is driving me nuts.

[Chris]

Through the admin panel console, I got the debuginfo:

Code: [Select]

ULX version: 3.30
ULib version: 2.20
Gamemode: Sandbox
Map: gm_flatgrass

Is it a problem that I'm considered a user, and a superadmin at the same time?

[Chris]

Alright, so, um. I fixed it. This entire time I assumed ULX and Ulib read from the GMod users.txt file and just made me a superadmin based on that file, but I just did "ulx adduser Chris superadmins" from the admin panel on my FTP while my client was connected, and now I'm able to join those reserved slots...I've read everywhere that it reads from the GMod users.txt file, what did I miss?

[JamminR]

what did I miss?

I'm not sure. ULib does read from gmod/settings/users.txt
Was this a fresh install of ULib? Or an upgrade from previous version?
With any upgrade, unless you have custom groups, we recommend deleting of /data/ULib/ groups.txt and misc_registered.txt
At the least, misc_registered.txt

Also, are you sure it was "superadmins" and not "superadmin"?
No "S/plural".

how do you get to the admin panel on your ftp?

[JamminR]

how do you get to the admin panel on your ftp?

Depends on what control panel your game host supports. Contact your game hosts support pages.

I tried both singular and plural, but either way, I think I neglected to clean out the data/Ulib content...noob learning.

[JamminR]

FYI - superadmins isn't a normal group... no S.
Just so you know.

[spbogie]

ULib does get the users from /settings/users.txt. However, due to current limitations, users from this file will be unable to use any of the user management commands, and will not be able to join in a reserved slot. Until we find some way to work around this issue you will need to add any users who need access to these functionality to the ULib users file. Please do not edit this file directly unless you know exactly what you are doing. Instead, please use the "ulx adduser" command (run it from SERVER console, or through RCON when adding yourself).
