include in plugins

ive been using MUSHclient in windows 2000... and no prob with any thing, even after upgrade to 3.26.

but yesterday i went to a friends house and tried to show him how plugins work. got a bit disapointed cos when i tried to add some of the plugins include in the download files i got always the same error.

error in file D:\MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\scan.xml

line 37: .\worlds\plugins\constants.vbs contains an invalid path ( include file not loaded )


my friend uses windows XP and he didnt have internet connection at time so i installed MUSHclient from a floppy. dunno if the file got corrupted when i copy it to the floppy. in 1 or 2 days ill go back there and try it with a new install file to check if the probs is still there.


what ide like to know is if theres any reported probs using MUSHclient in windows XP.


ohh... the constants.vbs file was there when i checked. but the error was always there even when i used the plugins wizard to generate a new plugin. the sistem couldnt also find the state folder inside plugins folder when try to save changed info from plugin.

Hmm. Could be, some place in your files the path for mushclient is being defined as C:\Program Files\Mushclient and that the floppy version is looking in there for .\worlds\plugins\constants.vbs. In this case . is probably 'default program path' and not 'look starting where mushclient started from' as it is in some programs. Just because you can run it from a floppy, doesn't mean all parts of the program 'know' that you are trying to doing so. ;)

hmm i guess i explain wrong...

i was running it from the d:\mushclient\ but i install the program from a floppy... what i though is maybe the file got corrupted when paste in the floppy.

anyway ill try with other file to check if the prob is still there.

im running it right now in win2000 d:\mushclient\ and i dont have any prob with the includes

:/

Sounds like the path is wrong in that plugin. For one thing, you might get away with omitting that include line altogether, as most of the plugins don't really use the constants.vbs file.


Or, check out global preferences, where you have the default world files directory, and the default plugins directory. Make sure that directory exists. Make sure that the files constants.vbs (etc.) from the install are really there and not somewhere else.

You might have found a problem with the install process, although you are the first to comment.

Sounds like the folders aren't set up correctly.

You should have something like this:

ok the prob is fixed... i think that the 1rst file i download got some what corrupted cos the new one works nice.

oops sorry about all this hehe.. maybe i should had tried with other file before post here :)
