I was using Notepad and always have in the past.

I will use Notepad ++ from now on as it has a Lua source file save option.

FYI Notepad ++ worked.

Not really a mystery, quite common once you've seen it a couple of times
The '»' in the error message indicates an encoding issue.

Your editor is likely saving the file as UTF-8, not UTF-8 without BOM. The incorrect encoding causes the error, so editing the file back will still have the incorrect encoding, thus still the error. Change the encoding to UFT-8 without BOM and the error should go away.

There is something strange happening here;

Any change at any of the labels in the \GaluhadPlugins\Pets\Strings\English\Pets.lua file and the plugin crashes and needs a reinstall, and undoing the change dos not alleviate the issue and you still encounter the error.

ie change
_PETSTRINGS[54] = {[1]="Sleek Fox";[2]="Presently unknown.";};
to
_PETSTRINGS[54] = {[1]="Sleek Fox";[2]="Barter from Bert Bartleby for 5 Bingo Tokens.";};

And the below error occurs.

There are issues in the last update;

The following already exist in a clean installation.
_PETS[91] = {[1]=1879338923;[2]=1879338918;[3]=3;} -- Brown bat
_PETS[92] = {[1]=1879339417;[2]=1879339416;[3]=6;} -- Ithilian Fox

These Pets already exist and are as per the following;
_PETSTRINGS[58] = {[1]="Brown Bat";[2]="Barter from harvest festival for 40 tokens.";};
_PETSTRINGS[65] = {[1]="Ithilien Fox";[2]="Available for 1 vial of Amber Extract from a Herbalist in the West Army.";};


I would suggest the following;
In ...\Pets\Data\Pets.lua Correct the item name on

Sometimes the best way is to restart with a vanilla installation.
rename the Galuhadplugins folder.
Download and install a brand new one.

Add your line 1 after 1 and try each step

Corrected some syntax errors and removed some duplications, in the below, but when I load those, I still get the following errors: (double checked my syntax, but I must be blind as still can't figure out the trouble)

Thank all who helped correct this

double dash mandatory for comments

_PETS[95] = {[1]=1879341434;[2]=1879341433;[3]=10;} - Winter's Flower

correction is

_PETS[95] = {[1]=1879341434;[2]=1879341433;[3]=10;} -- Winter's Flower

Look at line 117 in that file (Data\Pets.lua). There may be a typo in that line. The other two errors are being thrown because this file isn't loading properly.

Tried to translate and correct sequence for the data and string files, but after doing so, I get the following errors in loading. At a loss.

Anyone working on updating the program to pick up the new pets from the Yule Fest?

And soon there will be more from the anniversary and spring fests coming up.

Would be nice if the programmers could give us the ins and outs of how to add new pets to the different notepad listings in the folder.



This is the code for the last update...pretty easy to do yourself except for the ID numbers, like how to get them.

I have a plugin I wrote for scanning the database for skills, then I just match up the IDs. It's nothing clean so I haven't released it for anyone else to use.
