It looks to me like you have a coding error in your trigger, the one labelled "Counter". Perhaps if you post that trigger we could help you more.

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

Are you sure it isn't "constants.lua"?

Lua plugins may require that file. Do you have any plugins?

Yes, probably a plugin. Please copy/paste the code below into a file called "show_loaded.lua" and put that file into the "lua" folder in your MUSHclient installation.


-- show_loaded.lua

--[[ 

Shows each plugin as it is loaded.

To enable this, add to:

  File menu -> Global Preferences -> Lua -> Preliminary Code 

  ... this line:
   
require "show_loaded"
  

--]]

if GetPluginID () == "" then
  ColourNote ("gray", "", "Initializing main world script ...")
else
  ColourNote ("gray", "", string.format ("Loading plugin '%s' (%s) version %0.2f ...",
    GetPluginInfo ( GetPluginID (), 7),
    GetPluginInfo ( GetPluginID (), 1),
    GetPluginInfo ( GetPluginID (), 19)))
end -- if

Now go to File menu -> Global Preferences -> Lua -> "Preliminary Code ..." and add the line:


require "show_loaded"

As each plugin is loaded you will see a message, and when the error occurs that will be the plugin that is causing it.
