Hidden Admin Commands
« on: December 15, 2009, 08:38:38 PM »
In previous ULX versions, when an admin did a console command such as  ghost or cexec, the echo was only shown to the other admins. Now nearly every ULX command is echoed to all players on the server. I am requesting the option to make certain chat commands [and their echoes] visible only by admins.

This isn't a change in design, it's only a side effect of ULX SVN.
The server.ini settings for ULX SVN have not been converted yet.

Is there a way we could edit the files to make the echoes only visible to admins?

SVN server.ini, which you should copy from gmod\addons\ulx\cfg to gmod\cfg, has this.
Code: [Select]
ulx logEcho 1 // Echo mode
// Echo modes:
// 0 - OFF No output to players when an admin command is used
// 1 - FULL Output to players similar to "Foo slapped Bob with 0 damage"

I presume that which is enabled by default if you've not placed a copy in your gmod/cfg folder, will work.
Also, I'm not sure chat commands will be ever hidden again due to this.

I could be wrong.
