Menu Commands Broken: [ULIB] Error, received invalid lua

[DeathByNukes]

(I decided not to bump this thread.)

All ULX commands that generate menus seem to be broken for me:

Code: [Select]

] ulx adminmenu

Console: test

"sv_allowdownload" = "1"

At first I had the public version, then I tried the SVN when this started. SVN didn't help.


When I connect I see these messages:

// Echo modes:
// 0 - OFF No output to players when an admin command is used

ulx rslotsMode 0
ulx rslots 2
ulx rslotsVisible 1 // When this is 0, sv_visiblemaxplayers will be set to maxplayers - slots_currently_reserved
//Modes:
//0 - Off
//1 - Keep # of slots reserved for admins, admins fill slots.
//2 - Keep # of slots reserved for admins, admins don't fill slots, they'll be freed when a player leaves.
//3 - Always keep 1 slot open for admins, kick the user with the shortest connection time if an admin joins.

//Difference between 1 and 2:
//I realize it's a bit confusing, so here's an example.
//On mode 1--
// You have maxplayers set to 10, rslots set to 2, and there are currently 8 non-admins connected.
// If a non-admin tries to join, they'll be kicked to keep the reserved slots open. Two admins join
// and fill the two reserved slots. When non-admins leave, the two admins will still be filling the
// two reserved slots, so another regular player can join and fill the server up again without being
// kicked by the slots system

//On mode 2--
// Same setup as mode 1, you have the two admins in the server and the server is full. Now, when a
// non-admin leaves the server, reserved slots will pick up the slot again as reserved. If a regular
// player tries to join and fill the server again, even though there are two admins connected, it will
// kick the regular player to keep the slot open

//So, the basic difference between these two is mode 1 will subtract currently connected admins from the slot
//pool, while mode 2 while always be attempting to reclaim slots if it doesn't currently have enough when
//players leave no matter how many admins are connected.

//rslotsVisible:
// If you set this variable to 0, ULX will automatically change sv_visiblemaxplayers for you so that if
// there are no regular player slots available in your server, it will appear that the server is full.
// The major downside to this is that admins can't connect to the server using the "find server" dialog
// when it appears full. Instead, they have to go to console and use the command "connect <ip>".
// NOTE THIS DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR MAXPLAYERS VARIABLE, ONLY HOW MANY MAXPLAYERS IT _LOOKS_ LIKE YOUR
// SERVER HAS. YOU CAN NEVER, EVER HAVE MORE PLAYERS IN YOUR SERVER THAN THE MAXPLAYERS VARIABLE.

Any idea what it could be? Any other info I need to post?

Bump: This also happened on my build server, RolePlay server, and customer servers.

It seems it broke around the time garry updated gmod (Surprise, surprise.)

Anyway if anyone is able to take a look any time soon that'd be great. If you need any more information just ask, thanks

[benbrooks]

Also broke for me (sandbox) since garry released the update.

I get this in my console

Code: [Select]

Ben: !menu
[ULIB] Error, received invalid lua

[Pizzaboy]

Hi, i had this same problem yesterday but i fixed it by downloading newest ulx 4.* with svn!

Just use svn and it should be fixed, remember to remove your old ulx before downloading new one.

[benbrooks]

Ok thanks, I'll post back here to let you know if it fixed it.

[DeathByNukes]

I just checked and I have the latest revision. (21)

[Pizzaboy]

Then remove "new" and download it again, you might have 3.31 xD

[JamminR]

That's not ULX v4, thats Ulx V3.4 SVN (## - I forget the revision)

v3.40 - *(00/00/00)*
   * [FIX] Umsgs being sent too early in certain circumstances.
   * [FIX] The .ini files not loading properly on listen servers.
>>>>>This one is important>>>> * [FIX] Problems introduced by garry's changes in handling concommands
        * [FIX] Changed ULX_README.TXT file to point to proper instruction link for editing Gmod default users.
   * [CHANGE] ulx ragdoll and unragdoll now preserve angle and velocity.
   * [CHANGE] motdfile cvar now defaults to ulx_motd.txt. Sick of forcefully overriding other mod's motds. Renamed our motd to match.
   * [CHANGE] ulx slap, whip, hp to further prevent being "stuck in ground".

It doesn't appear to be stickied or on the main website. Could you point me in the direction of this unannounced critical update?

[faze]

Well none of the menus will come up, and it seems like the motd isn't working. I've done a total reload and put just ULX on, no other addons but no luck. This is happening to every gmod server of mine.

[JamminR]

Nukes, it's not a full release, so wouldn't be in the ULX downloads.
It's from SVN revision 21 of ULX that I got that changelog.
Using SVN revision 21 of ULib, _and_ SVN revision 21 of ULX, I can't replicate your problem.
By no means am I saying your not having one, I just can't replicate it which makes it extremely difficult to troubleshoot from our end.

[JamminR]

Are you running SVN, or are you running the one downloaded through our front page downloads?

[DeathByNukes]

What is "v4"?

Anyways, would it help if you connected to my server or if I provided more information of some sort?

Edit:
I'm using the SVN

[NikolaiResokav]

I am fairly sure that the recent GMod update has broken parts of ULX.

[Nuclear_Ice]

Hey, when trying to load a menu I get this:


[ULIB] Error, received invalid lua


in my console.

Sorry I've searched and looked and people are having the same problem, but no one has made a clear answer.

Halp please!
