ingame.req (data_PWN/Common) lua where I am calling it

how big is you ingame.lvl file? You may have to do a clean and remunge. Or you could just go into the _lvl_PC folder of your map and delete the one there then remunge.

The original ingame.lvl is about 14 Meg your ingame should be about 1 meg (depending on how many Icons you changed)

hmm didn't work, I'm starting to think it might be a separate problem, but I'm still not sure.

This came up a lot in the error log:

I'm guessing the error is talking about the 'table' on line 243 of ifutil_mouse.lua. I remember looking at ifutil_mouse, but I didn't change anything (at least not on purpose, and it will be a few hours till I can get home to check). ifutil_mouse is part of common.lvl, and thus shouldn't be changed by the custom ingame.lvl...

By any chance, are you using the common.lvl from FreeCam_Jan-19-2008?

What was the pop-up that was popping up when you got the error?
Are you willing to package up your map, so others can download it and test the error?
Can you post the rest of your lua?

What happens when you delete your custom ingame.lvl (leave your lua alone, just delete it from the addon/data_PWN/data/_LVL_PC/)?

Well I removed the custom icons + uninstalled the old freecam i was using (june 2006 edition i think lol) Still had the problem, looked in my lua and found this: I changed "table = OnEnterRegion" to table1 and it fixed it. Any ideas why that screwed up my menus?

The global 'table' is used by Lua for table/array/matrix functions. Examples:
table.remove()
table.insert()
table.foreach()

By doing table = OnEnterRegion... you replaced's Lua table functions with OnEnterRegion. When the mouse handling code attempted to access a table of GUI components, it accessed your OnEnterRegion instead.

You should be able to fix it by renaming your table to something else or changing your line to local table = OnEnterRegion(

Thanks Zerted, it is all working now. I suppose all the posts on this topic about my issue can be deleted, they weren't relevant after all.

I'll leave it up to FragMe!. These posts show the importance of using the lua keyword: local, a bit of info on SWBF2 mouse handling, info about another FreeCam release 3 days ago, and another example lua and req overriding ingame.lvl. Its up to you... ~[RDH]Zerted

We shall leave it all as is. I am just happy it wasn't my mod that was buggering you up at least I don't think it was.

Oh another note since I believe you were doing this forr assault mode the untakeable command post by default doesn't show Icons. There may be a way but have to experiment first but it shouldn't be anymore than adding a couple of lines to the ODF.

Wait a go FragMe! those are Sweet!

What, with duel wielded pistols just developed, and now custom side icons, the community just took a huuuuge leap.

Dual Wielded Pistols!? WHERE?!

Anyway nice CP stuff you created, even though it won't serve me much use since im not a modder.

Wow terrific job!

Thanks a bunch FragMe and Zerted.
