Switching to ULX 3.30, requesting help for restriction.

[MathieuG89]

Hello everyone my name is Mathieu and I pay each month for a server,
I've been using Assmod ever since I had the server and it always been working like a charm and most of all easy to use. However, I recently made the transition to ULX 3.30 which I believe is more powerfull and offer a wider selection sadly it isn't as easy to use but I do believe with time it gets easier as you start to learn how to work with it. I've read a couple of threads on the forum before taking the decision to post, It is really sad that there are not options to restrict tools to groups as it was one of my favorite option from assmod but it does compensate for many other options assmod did not offer. However I am having alot of trouble with the command "ulx tooldeny", I write for example "ulx tooldeny advduplicator" on the console and it says "(ADMIN) MathieuG89 denied the server access to the toolmode "advduplicator"" so I figure it's all good however it is not, everyone can still use the advanced duplicator, I also tried "rcon ulx tooldeny advduplicator" and same thing. Could someone point me out in the right direction as I would be very grateful. If it happen to not be working I will be forced to switch back to Assmod, as there are a couple of tools I need to deny because they can take out the server.

Thank you again.

ULX does not detect tools before it denies them.. so you could type ulx tooldeny "loljusttesting" and it would ... deny that tool even though it doesn't exist.


the correct name for advanced dupe is..<checking>.... "adv_duplicator"


always get the name by looking in weapons/gmod_tool/stools and it is the name of the file without the .lua


if it is an addon it will be in addons/addonname/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools

if it is a default GMod tool it will be in gamemodes/sandbox/entities/weapons/gmod_tool/stools

That's a good point Zakap, we should check to make sure it's a valid stool.

Thank you Megido, I had noticed it denied anything even though it didn't exist but wasn't sure if it was because I was doing it wrong or typing it wrong. I'll make sure to look in the folders you wrote. Once again thank you and I am grateful to you.

edit:
I don't know wether it might be because I am admin or because it still isn't working right but I followed every single steps you wrote down and I can still use the adv. duplicator. I couldn't get anyone of lower rank to test it out for me so I can't tell.

Admins are still allowed to use it.
