invalid spickle string

Feb 08, 2010 Togit link
After the last update, every time I load the game, I can get the game loaded and pick my character, but when i get into the ship I can't move and a error msg pops up that says "Invalid spickle string".

That's probably a plugin issue. Remove all of your plugins and re-add them one at a time until the issue returns to identify which one. Likely candidates are Trade Assist and Targetls

Cool. Now how would I go about doing that? :)

Remember how you installed the addons? Backwards.

Edit: and by latest update do you mean 1.8.113 or 1.8.113.1?

also, delete all of the .txt files in the Vendetta Online installed folder. It may be caused by the cached missions file which is <charactername>missions.txt

It may be caused by the cached missions file

If that turns out to be the case, I'd venture to say it actually is a bug.

Alright, well heres the rundown. I haven't actually installed any add-ons, I have the latest update got it today. I think the problem came about when I screwed around with my computers security settings. Some programs now require permission to access the keyring. I created a new char, and everything went fine until I left the station. As soon as I left the station the Lua error msg came up and none of my input worked. As of now I have 2 ships stuck in space cuz it completely locks me out of my computer and I have to manual shutdown.

PEBCAK. Fix your computer, then do what ray said, then it will probably work.

Togit, what OS is this and what security settings did you change? I would like to try to duplicate your settings to see if we can do things differently to prevent this problem.

Got it figured out. I have no idea how this happened. But all my settings got messed up. I dunno why I didn't think to check it earlier. My settings went from keyboard/mouse to keyboard/joystick and erased ALL of my keyboard settings. Thanks all for the help or attempts at help. I feel rather dumb right now :D

Don't feel dumb. VO shouldn't have messed up your settings to begin with.
