"Invalid Packet"

[takato14]

Hey, I have an add-on Ive been working on, and whenever I go to start a testing server and people try and connect to it, when they start downloading the addon they get a weird glitch. It says "Invalid Packet -1" or something like that (Not sure what the # was) And they get dropped. It didnt do this before; the only changes Ive made have been adding some UI Icons and general cleanup in the code.... Does anyone know what the heck is going on with this?? It didnt do this before, it JUST recently started happening. There are NO SYNTAX ERRORS in the code.

Could be that they still have the old version of whatever is downloaded, and so the game is trying to use that and erroring. Tell them to delete it...?

No. They have no copy of the addon. This happens to any random person. I have NOT released this addon.

But when they join, their game HAS to download a few parts of it for it to work on their game. One thing that must download is the model.

But you state random people who haven't been there before get your problem, so meh...

This does not happen to me, only to connecting clitents without a copy of the addon. Thanks for trying to help, but I think it might be an issue with the client's computers..... I did giive a copy of this addon to my friend so he could use it, and everyone who connected to his server got the problem. He deleted it and when I had it on, he couldnt connect. He was the only one who couldnt, does that mean anything?

I don't understand this error, but

Did you use anything that isn't default or is outside of the addon? Textures? Models? Sounds?

That may have caused it.

Nope, all referenced textures, datablocks, shapes, etc are in the Package.

Just thought of something, is it possible that this is being caused by the addon being extracted to a folder in my addons folder (I was working on it recently) and there may be a difference between the one in the folder and the package?
