Issue 268: 'Owner Rank' Problem... NON-Dedicated server issue!

Hello. 

I have a problem - I've invited one of my friends on my server 4 days ago. I thought he'd make a good co-owner due to the lack of his professional skills; but he started acting like an asshole....

AND I WANT TO DEMOTE HIM. But i can't. I didn't make a co-owner rank. I understand the conseqences but I didn't know he'd be like this FOREVER.

I made him the Owner Rank. I can't remove that rank and i can't demote myself. And he can also use my rcon password, via console settings etc.

He can even enable sv_cheats 1. I'm afraid. And i've reinstalled evolvemod 2 times, but he's still an owner. 


PLEASE help me. I'm running a listen server. I'm not a very skilled lua coder, and i have trouble finding a file where i can easily add players as an admin on evolvemod easily.

Thanks in advance!

And yes, my spelling's bad. But we're not talking about that. I THINK he's up to something.

Ok firstly delete Evolve, then go to:
X:\Steam\steamapps\<YOUR STEAM NAME>\garrysmod\garrysmod\data
Then delete everything that says "ev" eg "ev_userranks".
Re install after you run the server all should be good, also you might want to ban him.
