Parser Error

[Xanden]

Hey there. I was really excited to see that your parser has been made public. I caught the news from the windower site. I downloaded it and opened it. When I click to Start New Parse I am presented with an error:

Text accompanying error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am running the latest version of windower as well as .Net 2.0 and IE 6.0+

This is a pretty strange error, the code in that location is very simple. If I make a new version can you try it and send me the results? It won't attempt to fix your problem, but it will tell me exactly where your problem happens.

BTW, do you have free disk space? Silly question I know, but it's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might make the code there fail.

Actually scratch that, I found out what causes it.

Go to File -> Edit Settings and make sure Write raw chat log to file is checked. After you click OK go to File -> Save Settings and save it to the file <DvsParseDirectory>\Settings\DvsParse_Settings.xml

That's the default settings file which it always looks for when it loads up (so that this doesn't happen next time you start). The problem was due to carelessness on my part. Any time that option is not checked, Starting a new parse wont' work.

This is a temporary workaround but I'll make a new build that fixes this.

RE: parse error

now I know why Kalia didn't accept his raise for a long time in dynamis ^.~

 

[Aura]

Hahah smart girl!

 

[Xanden]

Yep! That fixed it all right
