Title: LUA Dashboard - a couple potential issues
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? no
Details:
Issue #1 occurs with OCX tools: When i change zones (either running out an exit or teleport out of a zone), I can no longer move or interact with the windows/buttons of the loaded LUA utility (in other words, the lua script is still visible, but the buttons don't work and the windows are locked in place). If I then reload the lua script (by typing "/lua reload" in chat or by using the reload button) the problem resolves until i switch scenes again. I am not what is causing this: OCX ? something in SOTA (such as the LUA dashboard)? or something else? This issue does not occur with SOTAinfo.
Issue #2 occurs with SOTAinfo: If I have sotainfo loaded (i.e. it is "on" in the dashboard and actively working), then i present "reload", the LUA dashboard turns "off" SOTAinfo on the dashboard and the SOTAinfo lua windows disappears from the screen.
Issue # 3 occurs with Buff monitoring system: It won't load, keep getting " (Lua): Error loading file C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Roaming\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar\Lua\libsota.util.lua C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Roaming\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar\Lua\libsota.util.lua263,0-24): attempt to index a nil value". I have no idea if maybe I did something wrong (have not used this lua script before) or if this is a problem with the script or the LUA dashboard.

Can anybody reproduce these issues?

@Rinaldi, is there still something pending from this?

 

I am still having issue #1 on the live server (have not tested this on the latest qa, tho). I am using ocx tools, and after changing zones ocx freezes and cannot be interacted with unless I do manual lua reload.

Issue #2: I decided not to use buff monitor lua because I could not get it to work consistently. So, I decided to put off more testing with the buff monitor until another patch is issued.
So, I am not sure if this issue is still present.

Issue #3 is resolved.

 

I’m not seeing #1 happening for me with ocx tools 2.0.2. I’m using windows 10.

 

for issue # 1, it used to happen every time i changed zones, but after @DavidDC made the last changes for live server, it started happening intermittently.
I did a little bit of testing and I think I may have found the culprit.
I had OCX, sota info, and buff monitor system in my lua folder.
I could not get buff monitor system to work (error loading one of the libsota files, shown in issue #3 in my original post), so i turned off buff monitor in the lua dashboard.
However, SOTA was still trying to load the libsota file, and kept giving that loading error.
Even tho I had buff monitor turned off, SOTA tried to load libsota files (generating the error), and ocx was still freezing (perhaps the freezes were caused the failure to load the libsota file?)
When i removed buff monitor and the libsota files from the lua folder, the freezing seems to have stopped.

This was just a brief test..so I will keep an eye on it and see if i can glean more about it.

 

Oh! Hi ya, I have not had time to recheck this thoroughly (I have not played SOTA for over a month; only logged in for a few minutes to pay rent).
I will probably have time to do some testing in the next two weeks.
I'll report back soon.
