ULX is the primary tool for dealing with players. This tool allows you to excecute over 70 commands. Dont worry though with ULX there is no need to remember long strings or even commands, we can just open the simple GUI.
ULX Mod - Starting up
The fastest way to use ULX is to first enable the ULX UI. This can be accessed by typing !menu in chat. However if you are going to be using this excessively, it is best to follow these simple steps:
TIP: Any long term admin is advised to follow these first few steps!
Binding your ULX UI to a key
Step 1: Opening the console
1: Click settings on your GMod home screen.
2: Click advanced.
3: Make sure 'Enable Developer console' is ticked.
Step 2: Binding the key
1: Hit the tilde button on your keyboard
TIP: It looks like this '~' or '¬'. It will be to the left of number 'one' on your keyboard's numberline.
This opens the developer console.
2: Type the following into the command line:-
'bind <letter to bind> xgui
For instance if you wanted to bind your XGUI to the letter 'j' you would type:
'bind j xgui' (Don't include Apostrophes)
Using the UI in game
While in-game, pressing the button you bound will now open a fancy looking interface.
This interface will be explored in the next section of this guide.
ULX Mod - The commands - Punishment
In this section we will explore the most important commands in ULX.
After pressing your preferred key to open the UI or typing !menu in chat you can see this fancy looking UI. This UI is divided into 7-8 sections depending on your permissions.If you expand one of the sections you will see a list of possible commands.Clicking one of the commands will open more settings on the right side.
The commands
With the power of ULX you will never need to remember long commands and orders of their strings. Commands simply means the different sections in ULX.
The following are some of the most important commands (in my opinion)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Kicking a player
Step 1: Open your ULX UI
Step 2: Expand the 'Utility section'
Step 3: Click the Kick option
Step 4: Select the name of the player you need to kick
Step 5: Press the ULX Kick Button
This seems a little tedious, right? This is because some commands are easier to execute from the chat. This is one of those commands. To kick a player without using the ULX UI simply type:
!kick <player name>
TIP: You don't have to type out the whole player name. For instance if I was kicking 'Steve' I could type '!kick Stev' However if there is anyone else in the server with a similar name they might be kicked too. So be careful using this option.
Sometimes players can use deliberately complex names with an asterix (*) In ULX an asterix means all players. If you see someone with this, simply use your UI as shown previously.
____________________________________________________________________________
Banning a player
Banning a player is another command that is sometime easier to execute from the chat:-
!ban <player name> <Time> <reason>
Time: ULX makes it easy to ban quickly. Lengths of time are represented by letters, as follows:
Hour = h
Day = d
Week = w
Year = y
All you have to do is put a number in front, for example:
'!ban steve 1d'
'!ban steve 2d 12h Prop Block'
TIP: Using no letter will default to minutes.
____________________________________________________________________________
Muting a player (Chat and voice)
There are two option in this section-gag and gimp:
ULX gag: Disables the players microphone in-game.
ULX gimp Disables the players ability to use chat.
In your UI, these comand are found in the utility section. Or you can use the commands:
!gag <player name>
!gimp <player name>
To ungag or ungimp the players imply use:
!ungag <player name>
!ungimp <player name>
TIP: use an asterix (*) instead of a player name to ungag or ungimp all players.
_____________________________________________________________________________
ULX Mod - The commands - Teleporting
Admins can bring and teleport players. It is really rather easy:-
In the ULX UI All teleport related commands are listed in the 'Teleport' section.
Bringing a player to you:
!bring <player name>
Going to a player
!goto <player name>
Sending one player to another:
!send <player name> <player name>
Tip: Imagine there is a 'to' in the middle of the two player names:
!send Steve (to) Paul
This would teleport Steve to Paul
Using the UI is similar, except you will need to find the player in question, in a list of online users. This can be usefull for players with complex names.
