xx New Crew Member, Stickly Man! - October 10, 2009, 08:56:56 PM
Team Ulysses would like to welcome our newest crew member; Stickly Man!

Stickly Man!'s been part of the Ulysses community for over 3 years now and has worked with us on personal projects for even longer. (He actually lived a few short blocks from Megiddo's old homestead!)
Not only has he worked with us on many shared projects, as of this news release, he's recently started working on what is probably one of the most requested (or complained about!) items in ULX over the past two to three years...an improved GUI menu.

We look forward to his continued ideas and Ulysses project contributions, and expect his continued support of our weary team members by loan of his couch, pink fuzzy blankets and Chinese carry-out food.

Welcome to the team Stickly Man!

xx Still Kicking -- ULX 3.40, ULib 2.30, and UPS 0.95 - June 20, 2009, 08:30:31 PM
This release includes lots of fixes for long-standing bugs garry introduced since the last versions of ULX and ULib, and a few stability improvements. This release has been codenamed "Still Kicking".

I'm also releasing an updated version of UPS at the same time that fixes some long-standing bugs in that release, too!

Don't forget to thank Stickly Man for forcing me to release this, and JamminR for keeping us up and running. :)

Here's the changelogs...
Quote from: ULX Changelog
v3.40 - *(06/20/09)*
   * [ADD] Alltalk to the admin menu
   * [FIX] Umsgs being sent too early in certain circumstances.
   * [FIX] The .ini files not loading properly on listen servers.
   * [FIX] Problems introduced by garry's changes in handling concommands
   * [FIX] Changed ULX_README.TXT file to point to proper instruction link for editing Gmod default users.
   * [FIX] Removed a patch for a garrysmod autocomplete bug that's now fixed.
   * [FIX] Maps not being sent correctly to the client.
   * [FIX] Can't create a vote twice anymore.
   * [FIX] A bug with loading the map list on listen server hosts.

   * [CHANGE] ulx ragdoll and unragdoll now preserve angle and velocity.
   * [CHANGE] motdfile cvar now defaults to ulx_motd.txt. Sick of forcefully overriding other mod's motds. Renamed our motd to match.
   * [CHANGE] ulx slap, whip, hp to further prevent being "stuck in ground".
   * [CHANGE] Menus are derma'tized.
   * [CHANGE] Updated how it handles svn version information.

   * [CHANGE] All gamemode.Call refs to hook.Call, thanks aVoN!
   * [CHANGE] SetUserGroup now REMOVES any other groups and sets an exclusive group. Sorry about this, but this is for the better.

Quote from: UPS Changelog
v0.95 - *(06/20/09)*
   * [ADD] Ability to enable and disable world protection.
   * [ADD] Ability to revoke admins' elevated privileges.
   * [FIX] Some problems with data consistency on player initialization.

As always, download these files (except UPS, which is available on the Release forums) on our homepage at ulyssesmod.net

xx Fix found! - Recent Garry's Mod update broke ULib versions 2.21 and below. - February 01, 2009, 12:19:56 PM
As many have reported in our forums and at ULX's Facepunch release thread,  a recent Garry's mod update broke ULib, the library that ULX and many of our community's releases rely on.
Megiddo was the (lucky?) individual on our team to reproduce the exact error detail needed and has posted a fix to the ULib SVN.

Before we make a new release, we'd like your help in testing the fix and other changes that have been made since our last release.
If you wish to help us test out the code before we release, please see our forum SVN how-to in our "SVN Stuff" area at http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/board,26.0.html

Post any issues you find within that area, or at our bug tracker.

Thanks for your patience. We hope to have a new release within a week or two.

xx Guest posting disabled - November 26, 2008, 09:16:33 AM
Due to the high volume of spam we've had over the past few weeks, I have disabled the ability for guests to post. Sorry guys, I know it's a bother to have to register in order to post, but it's also annoying to be getting 2-3 spam topics on the forums every time we look, especially when a few of them are indecent.

Yes, we were using CAPTCHA. Either it's easy to break or there's some flaw in it because it's been working fine for months and suddenly broke a couple weeks ago. There's no other CAPTCHA mod for SMF that I know of at the moment, so this is just the way it's got to be.
