Hey,

I updated to the most recent build (r214) and I have the following errors.

L 08/03/2011 - 17:28:16: [SM] Plugin encountered error 4: Invalid parameter or parameter type
L 08/03/2011 - 17:28:16: [SM] Native "VFormat" reported: Language phrase "SMAC_TAG" not found
L 08/03/2011 - 17:28:16: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "smac.smx":
L 08/03/2011 - 17:28:16: [SM] [0] Line 60, C:\Users\nshastings\Desktop\sm\11scripting\13 scripting\include\colors.inc::CPrintToChat()
L 08/03/2011 - 17:28:16: [SM] [1] Line 404, smac.sp::SMAC_WelcomeMsg()

I did a search for "printtochat" but I didn't get anything. Obviously tied to smac sending console messages like the welcome message. Any thoughts?

Did you update your translations when updating to the latest version?

[BartholomewPSkibbenheims]

Yeah I copied everything in the r215 folder over

[GoD-Tony]

The error is from having outdated translations. If your English smac.phrases.txt file is missing SMAC_TAG, then that confirms it as well.

[BartholomewPSkibbenheims]

The are out of date translations packed in the r214 zip? Because I can guarantee the translations from that zip are in the right place.

[GoD-Tony]

The translations in the r214 zip are correct. You should download the translation from your srcds server to see if it's the outdated one and not being properly overwritten. I'm 90% sure that it's outdated.

Is anyone else getting this problem?

The server may need restarted. I think translations get cached, which was one of Kigen's reasons for writing his own translation system (since he would reload on the fly after auto-update) rather than just filing a bug to have this changed which would benefit more than himself.

That may be it. My server reboots nightly. I haven't seen the error posted today. Thanks psychonic.

Aren't they only cached for the current map? Is it a bug that they aren't refreshed on map change?

I don't remember offhand. Would have to test or look through code.

Gamedata has a similar drawback as well.
