Where'd my stuff go?

[Zoy64]

When i turn the widgets on, i lose my Resource Bar and my messages. Where'd they go?
And how do i make the things i want work, i.e. i'll get the Ice stuff, but it's not there.

I've had those disappear in midgame in Gundam twice, some widget crashed out with a nullpointer exception and killed the whole Lua UI.

no, i mean that they were gone at the beginning of the game

The usual reason for that, I encounterd during scripting on the idlebuilder2 widget was, that a widget has an error and creates a lot of error messages.

I you encounter this problem, open the file infolog.txt in your spring directory after the game. Look for lines like this:

Code: Select all

LuaUI: error = 1, DrawScreenItems, [string "LuaUI\Widgets\UnitGroups3.lua"]:659: attempt to call field `UnitDef' (a nil value)

(this error happends if your use the current widget with an svn build)

You can see the widget with the filename UnitGroups3.lua caused an error in line 659. Usually this errors ocour multiple times a second and the file infolog.txt can be very big.

You should disable the widget (either ingame or if you have trouble with that change the file \LuaUI\Config\widget_order.lua. A Zero means the widget is disabled) AND contact the author of the widget by either writing a post in this Forum or at least leaving a note on uf. This way the widget can be fixed. Don't forget to include a short descrition how to reproduce the error or, if you understand it, tell what is wrong.

i just dont know what widget is causing this, it just happened. Like it's a part of the LUA thing in general
