Author Topic: Insulting Console?  (Read 2277 times)

i opened my add-ons checklist then in the console and i read this:
Quote
Checking Add-On Event_SetRandomColor.zip
    Add-On folder name contains ".zip" - will not execute (also please kill yourself)



Discuss.

I think it means you should kill yourself. :cookieMonster:

I understand that part but did anyone else get this?

I never paid attention I'll run Blockland right now..

Oh yeah you need to remove the .zip from the name of the zip file if you didn't already.

Im with badspot with this.

STORY TIME:
Long ago there was a problem with add-ons. People would installl them incorrectly and people would be forced to redownload them.

Badspot fixed this my making everything .zips and adding checks like what you found.

And then they all lived happily ever after? :D

On topic:
I've never noticed this before, probably because I never got an add-on that was misnamed like that.
It's pretty funny, though.

Maybe you should do it properly then :)

Yeah, the console can have a lot of funny messages in it.

I stand by this message.




I hope later versions will be sprawled with error messages like these as extra buffer lines to try to get some people to understand to what extent their addon is broken, since it doesn't look like the current messages like the big red "CI Icon not located" or "This weapon could not be executed because it is the Gun weapon" messages don't seem to be working. I still see these in some add-ons.
