Groups.txt oddity - Muyako

[JamminR]

I decided to start 'fresh' using the new dedicated Gmod server I'm using with the latest (after release) SVN of ULib and ULX.
After having years of dev groups.txt file edits/group edits, beta commands added, etc. , I didn't copy over groups.txt from my old server files, figuring ULib would rebuild.
Started server. No ulx commands would work. Not even ulx who.

It rebuilt alright, but, not well.
See below.

Is the misc_registered a key file we check before rebuilding groups.txt?
If so, may I ask, why not check if groups.txt exists properly?

[Megiddo]

I'm confused. Are you saying that you copied over misc_registered.txt and users.txt but not groups.txt? Your result is the behavior I would expect from that case.

Going on this assumption, I'll answer your question on not checking for groups.txt. It's because it does still exist under addons. Also, I never thought people would selectively carry over configuration files.

[JamminR]

As a newb, I'd imagine someone having no idea what misc_registered was, so fear of deleting it too after they purposely deleted groups.txt.
I had no fear of this, I knew it too would rebuild.
What I didn't expect is that groups.txt didn't rebuild to match all the defaultcommands until I deleted misc_registered.
As long as this is 'expected' behavior, I know to keep an eye out for it if anyone brings up similar question.
