Server Console adduser not working.

[jay209015]

Code: [Select]

ulx adduser "(D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM" "mod"
ok, I ran the code above in the server console and it returned "invalid group". I know the group exists, I created it myself, so knowing this I joined the server and pasted the code exactly and it worked.

[MrPresident]

It's possible that the way your server console program.. (I'm assuming HLSW) works it was mixing up the parameters for some reason. Here are a few steps to ensure that it works in the future.

1. Don't use the full name. ULX has partial name checking and you should use it to your advantage. 'Lemming' would have worked just fine.
2. Don't use quotation marks around the name and the group. they are unnecissary and however unlikely, it could cause the program to parse the info wrong.

If I had to wager a guess.. I'd say that SOMEHOW the name in it's length and use of non alpha-numeric characters was split and the later part of it was sent to the command as the group. Rather than receiving 'mod' as the group it was receiving the later part of the name. Just a theory... Try this in your console and see if it works.

ulx adduser lemming mod

I would bet that it would work perfectly. (assuming, of course, that there isnt another person on the server with lemming in their name at the time.)

[jay209015]

It's possible that the way your server console program.. (I'm assuming HLSW) works it was mixing up the parameters for some reason. Here are a few steps to ensure that it works in the future.

I ran it from srcds.exe's window itself. the server is local.

2. Don't use quotation marks around the name and the group. they are unnecissary and however unlikely, it could cause the program to parse the info wrong.

The quotes are used to make sure everything in the players name is a string. Often parenthesis can make commands fail that expect a string.

1. Don't use the full name. ULX has partial name checking and you should use it to your advantage. 'Lemming' would have worked just fine.

I know that partial names work, but I don't understand why his full name didn't in the console while it did ingame.

[JamminR]

I'm guessing it had something to do with the parenthesies also. As for why srcds didn't leave it be using double quote, no clue.
Perhaps a single quote ' , see if srcds handles that better.

[AviZ]

Code: [Select]

ulx adduser "(D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM" "mod"
ok, I ran the code above in the server console and it returned "invalid group". I know the group exists, I created it myself, so knowing this I joined the server and pasted the code exactly and it worked.

ulx debuginfo:

its ulx rcon ulx adduser "(D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM" mod

this is the only way i have found it to work...

[JamminR]

its ulx rcon ulx adduser "(D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM" mod

this is the only way i have found it to work...

AviZ, "ulx adduser <user> <group> [immune]" works fine from the server console (except for what Jay is describing).
You're having to use rcon because your trying it from your game console, not the server.

[Megiddo]

Hmm, yah, try matching the partial name and see if that works.

[JamminR]

Hmm, yah, try matching the partial name and see if that works.

Only a workaround, not a solution.
I'm betting srcds is killing on the brackets, even with the double quotes. I'd still be interested to know if single quotes work.

[Megiddo]

Workarounds are perfectly valid solutions.

[jay209015]

The way I found out about this error, is with one of my scripts for promoting people. This user sent me an email saying that the server announced that he had been promoted to moderator, and didn't notice this change in his access rights or on the scoreboard. So being interested in the fact that it could be my script, I check my logs produced by the script.

"promotions"   
{
   "<li> Player: (D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM has been promoted to mod for exceptional behaviour"
   "<li> Player: (D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM has been promoted to mod for exceptional behaviour"
   "<li> Player: (D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM has been promoted to mod for exceptional behaviour"
   "<li> Player: (D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM has been promoted to mod for exceptional behaviour"
   "<li> Player: (D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM has been promoted to mod for exceptional behaviour"
}

As you see, the script has attempted to promote him five times, and for him that means he's been on the server for 10hrs straight without receiving a warning level from my antispam script. So he obviously deserves this promotion. I could promote him by myself, but I need to figure out a work around for this error, so I can implement a fix into my script.
Here's the line that promotes him:

Code: Lua

1.                 local topromote = string.format( "%q",ply:Nick())
2.                 local promotegroup = string.format( "%q", players.players[ply:Nick()].promote)
3.                 Msg( "ulx adduser " ..topromote.. " " ..promotegroup.. " \n" )
4.                 game.ConsoleCommand( "ulx adduser " ..topromote.. " " ..promotegroup.. "\n")

the message prints:

ulx adduser "(D.O.A.)LemmingguidedmissileTWM" "mod"

Any ideas?

==EDIT==
Maybe help with using the ULib function for adding users?

[JamminR]

Maybe help with using the ULib function for adding users?

Find a way to use test Single quotes. '

RunConsoleCommand now automatically converts " in args to '

Garry changed the way the RunConsoleCommand uses quotes for some reason. I think I remember seeing why at the time, but for the life of me don't remember why/where now.
Yes, I know you're not using RunConsoleCommand, but perhaps you're having the same problem he found with RunConsoleCommand.

As using ULib functions directly, see
http://www.ulyssesmod.net/docs/ (Index - Function list good to know)
In particular, working with the UCL - http://www.ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ULib/server/ucl-lua.html#ULib.ucl.addUser

[jay209015]

so, would this work?

Code: [Select]

ULib.ucl.addUser(ply:Nick(), "steamid", ply:SteamID(), ply.promotegroup)

[jay209015]

Fixed, it was the shear length of his name. So I changed the script to read:

Code: [Select]

local topromote = string.Explode( " ", ply:Nick())
local topromote = string.sub( topromote[1], -math.abs((string.len( topromote[1] )/2)))

Code: [Select]

game.ConsoleCommand( "ulx adduserid " ..topromote.. " " ..players.players[ply:Nick()].promote.. " " ..ply:SteamID().. "\n")
Hopefully I don't run into a similar problem with it this way.
