ULX breaks if gamemode is changed

[bran92don]

I have been trying to figure out why ulx breaks if the game mode is changed. My server is running Ubuntu Linux. If any of you know why this is happening I would be grateful. I have already messed with the permissions on the files. This did not solve my issue. I have re installed and it still did not work.

Are you using release or SVN?

I have had a similar problem.

I solved mine by stating what my default gamemode is in the commandlines.

You shall find the commandlines in your ControlPanel of your host. If you host the server on your own I cant tell you the direct link to it.


If you dont want that do the following:

Go into your server.cfg file (/garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg) and add this at the bottom of it:
gamemode "yourgamemode"

example:
gamemode "terrortown"

I am using release, and also the solution you posted would not help me. I am trying to change the game mode to something different. If it is the same game mode it works just fine. I can not try ulx though because my server is having a bunch of issues. I need to sort this out before I figure out why ulx is messing up. Right now anytime I close my srcds it corrupts some lua files in darkrp. This leads to a bunch of addons breaking and stuff.

Once you fix your corruption issue, you really should use our latest SVN (which, Megiddo plans to 'release' in near future).
Gmod has had several updates that break various things since last ULX release that our SVN has work arounds in place for.

Yes, this is a known problem in release due to garry's bugged file I/O.
