Old UCL, for JamminR to look over

Code: Lua

1. -- Note: This is my old idea that I was going to use in ULib. It is fully functional, I dropped it because I thought it would be too complicated for users to understand.

45.         :user Ray
46.         :       Ray // An in-game name
47.         :       STEAM_0:0:1234567 // A steamid
48.         :       Rayzinator // A steam login
49.         :       67.89.83.20 // Or an IP
50.         :       ray.gamesurge-user.net // Or an IRC hostmask. All of thse identifiers will be associated with Ray
51.         :
52.         :user Bob
53.         :       STEAM_0:0:1232364 // A steamid
54.         :
55.         :userGroup coolUsers
56.         :       Ray // This will register as the four identifiers from Ray in any queries
57.         :       Bob // This will expand to the steamid we specified
58.         :       STEAM_0:0:412703 // You don't have to add only users here, identifiers will work too.
59.         :
60.         :commandUcl ulx_kickban
61.         :       ALLOW
62.         :               Megiddo
63.         :       DENY
64.         :               Bob // Bob got abusive, so he's not allowed to kickban anymore.
65.         :               STEAM_0:0:9123872 // Identifiers can be put here too!
66.         :
67.         :commandUclGroup funCommands
68.         :       ulx_slay
69.         :       ulx_sslay
70.         :       vmf_load
71.         :       ulx_slap
72.         :
73.         :commandUcl funCommands // This will limit access to the four commands listed above
74.         :       ALLOW
75.         :               STEAM_0:1:3297446 // Identifiers can be put here too!
76.         :               Megiddo
77.         :               Bob
78.         :       DENY
79.         :               *

81.         Important Notes:
82.  
83.                 * *You should check with the specific addons using the UCLs to see where they want you to keep the UCL, what they want you to use for identifiers, and whether or not they accept commandUcl and commandUclGroup*.
84.                 * You do not need the have the spacing and newlines shown above, any whitespace will work ( You could have everything on one line if you wished )
85.                 * The "*" without the quotes will set the default access ( if you set the default to allow, and the user is on a deny list in that ucl or elsewhere being queried at the same time, the user will be denied. )
86.                 * For commandUcl and ucl, you don't need both ALLOW and DENY, but you must have one.
87.                 * You cannot use "*" on both allow and deny.
88.                 * Everything is case sensitive.
