Ok, cool. I just downloaded a new copy of the setup, ran it and it installed fine with the 'New Plugin' at the top. All I did was click on load and it crashed again with the error above.

Well, this started when I imported a plugin, the first errors I posted were from trying to compile it.

https://www.twistedvoid.com/HTMLElement.c3addon

Right click that link and download.

Since that was creating an error I decided to just start a new plugin. So, at first, I filled in the fields to create a new one and when I click save it politely tells me that addon data fields cannot be blank. From that point on, anything I click on, it crashes and gives errors like the one above.

So, I uninstalled, reinstalled, same problem.

Now I have 0 plugins. I load up C3IDE, click on create, save. I get the addon data fields cannot be blank. I click on anything else and it crashes.

Plugin validates, plugin does not compile.

If I zip up the plugin, it works just fine.

Exactly!

I do not know for certain, just trying to come up with ideas.

Incredible work guy. Shame I didn't know about you when I was doing 3d modelling. Some of those textures would have saved me a lot of pain.

But, I am working on another project now that going to need a sound track. I'll be perusing your wares.

Thanks and keep up the good stuff.

Ok, that was it. About a month ago I did some 'tweaking' to the HTMLElement plugin to fix a similar problem to the one I've been describing. I did this 'tweaking' on the desktop.

I blindly made the assumption that since I was using a cloud based app, that if I installed a plugin when I ran it on one machine that the same plugin would be on the other machine. As you can see, it's taken me two days of desk-facing to come to that conclusion.

I looked at the changes to the plugin code I made on the desktop a month ago, it's the same changes I made today on the laptop to solve the above problem.

At least now, I can get back to creating the game an not smacking my forehead.

Ok, this nightmare has got me to seriously thinking about it. By tinkering with the code above I have it solved on the machine where it was giving issues. Later I'll be testing it on the other machine to see if it works.

Here's the BIG question.

When I install a plugin, does that plugin go to the cloud or does it stay on the specific machine.

For example, I installed this 'fixed' plugin on my laptop. Later, when I go home and fire up C3 on the desktop does that 'fixed' plugin code magically appear on the home machine?

If not, THAT may be the cause of all my problems as I've tinkered with this plugin code before and likely have 2 different installs. And if so, THAT... was unexpected.
