I've just had two new people get that error when using the compass plugin. Here's a screenshot one of them posted on another forum:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h12/Kaedinvars/MUSHSCREEN.jpg

They get it upon installation. The compass files linked in the original post are the ones they're using. I'm completely unable to duplicate this error.

What you said in your post, Nick: "85*: local right = compass.location[dir][1] + compass.dimension[dir][1]" about that looking strange, basically I have a table, compass.location, that has the starting point (upper left) of each arrow. I also have compass.dimension defined at the bottom of the plugin, when it's created, to be the dimensions of each arrow. The line makes the right property of the image the left side plus the width.

The origin of the error is the OnPluginBroadcast function. It calls draw which calls create, which is where the error seems to be. It sees compass.location[dir][1] or compass.dimension[dir][1] as nil. Both should be set, and at least when I use it, are. The only thing I could think of is when they're set, it uses the image width/height but even when I don't have the images where the plugin expects, it doesn't error out.

I can't seem to duplicate this error, no matter how hard I try. Any ideas?

An update, I've narrowed it down to either:

1. compass.location[dir][1] not existing
2. compass.dimension[dir][1] not existing

It gives an error with '?' in it. I am sure that both compass.location[dir] and compass.dimension[dir] exist, as I get a 'cannot index...' error if I delete either of them where they're made. Same with compass.location and compass.dimension. And I get an error with 'compass' in it if I delete compass entirely. I only get the '?' error if it's the key 1 that doesn't exist.

I still can't play with it to find which of the two, or the exact cause, though, since I can't make it happen as the plugin is now.

I apologize, I misread the earlier message, the add is not adding something to itself.

The only thing I can see would go wrong is this:


for dir in pairs (compass.directions) do
  WindowLoadImage (compass.name, dir, plugindir .. [[compass/arrow_]] .. dir .. ".bmp")
  compass.dimension[dir] = {}
  compass.dimension[dir][1] = WindowImageInfo(compass.name, dir, 2)
  compass.dimension[dir][2] = WindowImageInfo(compass.name, dir, 3)
end -- for

Now if the file compass/arrow_ne (for example) doesn't exist, then the WindowLoadImage will fail, and the WindowImageInfo will return nil, which would account for the later error.

I would check the return code from WindowLoadImage. Perhaps they didn't load the images where they were supposed to?

Ah. Finally.

That worked, thanks Nick. You were right, they must not have the images in the right place.

I tried moving the images before then adding the plugin and it still worked. Guess I did something in the wrong order before, and somehow avoided the error.

Appreciate it!

Thanks very much for your efforts. Is there anything I should change to fix it?

Delete the plugin and images you have now. Go to my new website and get the file here:

I updated it to not only not error out if the images aren't in the right place, but to also tell you where they should be.

Sorry about that! Google quit supporting google pages, in favour of google sites, and so all my stuff had to be moved over. Here's a new image:

I fixed the old link too.
