How to install the ULX Admin System

ULX is an admin mod for Garry's Mod. It needs ULib, so you always install both. Pick one of the ways below: ULX in your Workshop collection and in your addons folder at the same time loads it twice.

Install from the Updates tab (easiest)

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Garry's Mod server.
2. Open the Updates tab. Under Admin mod, click Install next to ULib (needed by ULX) first, then next to ULX admin mod.
3. When both are done, click Restart at the top of the page.

The panel puts them in garrysmod/addons/ulib and garrysmod/addons/ulx, so you can edit their files on the Files tab. Installing ULX again later updates it and keeps its settings and users.

Install from the Steam Workshop

1. Add ULib and ULX to the Workshop collection your server uses. See How to create a Steam workshop collection for Gmod.
2. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Garry's Mod server.
3. Click Restart at the top of the page. The server downloads them as it starts.

Workshop addons can't be edited as files: you change ULX's settings in game, in its menu (type ulx menu in your game console). To edit its files, install it by hand instead.

Install by hand

1. Download the ULib and ULX .zip files from ulyssesmod.net/downloads.php.
   
2. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Garry's Mod server and click Stop.
3. Open the Files tab and go to garrysmod/addons. Click Upload and choose both .zip files.
4. Right-click each .zip file and choose Extract here. The ulib and ulx folders must sit directly in addons (as garrysmod/addons/ulx). Then delete the .zip files.
5. Click Start.

You can also upload the folders over SFTP: see How to connect to your server's SFTP

Make yourself superadmin

1. Join your server in Garry's Mod.
2. In the control panel, open the Console tab, type ulx adduser YourName superadmin with your in-game name, and press Enter.

The player must be on the server. For a player who is offline, use ulx adduserid SteamID superadmin with their SteamID (the STEAM_0:… form). Type ulx help to see every command.

Garry's Mod's own admin list, without ULX, is on the Configs tab under Admins (users.txt).
