ULX Not Working
« on: July 24, 2015, 08:11:49 am »
Hi. Recently, one of the admins on a TTT server I administrate was playing with some settings in ULX, and accidentally rendered their menu useless (it had something to do with saving clientside settings in the Settings tab). I tried to replicate the problem to see if I could fix it. Unfortunately nothing worked. Here are some examples of the issue:









I'm also getting this error message in console over and over:

Code: Lua
  1. [ERROR] lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:72: attempt to index local 'col' (a nil value)
  2.   1. UpdateFGColor - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:72
  3.    2. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:80

How do I fix this?

The error is not relevant to ULX, it looks like a scoreboard script or something...
But if you guys reinstall ULX to Factory Settings, it should fix everything.
Once you get to know me, you'll find you'll have never met me at all.

Is there a way to backup all of the groups and server settings before a reinstall is performed?

yes, but the whole purpose of doing a factory reset of ULX is to NOT restore the broken ULX settings/groups.

Turns out the issue could be solved by just deleting some code from the xgui_settings file clientside.  8)

It seems likely that your admin attempted to apply a skin to XGUI that had some issues. If he didn't click the "Save Clientside Settings" button, then rejoining the server should have fixed the issue. If he did save the skin file, then he can fix the problem by editing HIS garrysmod\data\ulx\xgui_settings.txt file and finding the "skin" line and replacing it to be:
Code: [Select]
"skin" "Default"OTHERWISE, he could just delete HIS garrysmod\data\ulx\xgui_settings.txt file altogether, then rejoining the server should recreate the file.
