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.

Template:copying 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.
