Using this addon: http://te4.org/node/3213
To reproduce, cast Sever Magic at an enemy.

Log file says this:

[LOG]	Player casts Sever Magic.
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
	/engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:152: in function </engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:134>
Lua Error: /engine/interface/GameTargeting.lua:118: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:152: /data/damage_types.lua:787: bad argument #1 to 'ceil' (number expected, got nil)
stack traceback:

	At /engine/interface/GameTargeting.lua:124 targetMode
	At /engine/interface/GameTargeting.lua:185 
	At /engine/KeyBind.lua:229

In game it only showed this:

Code: Select all

Lua Error: /engine/interface/GameTargeting.lua:118: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:152: /data/damage_types.lua:787: bad argument

So firstly, since a lot of players screenshot errors instead of digging them out of the log file, there is a lot of useful information missing. Hopefully the in game reporter is sending the complete error message to DarkGod.

Secondly, /data/damage_types.lua:787 is:

Code: Select all

-- Silence

So the line number for the error is wrong.
It should have reported line 779 as the problem:

Code: Select all

target:setEffect(target.EFF_SILENCED, math.ceil(dam.dur), {apply_power=dam.power_check or src:combatMindpower() * 0.7})

I've tested it as you say, on the current git version which produces the error at line 782, which is the correct line

I've also noticed this problem (or a similar one, perhaps) as well (though don't have a good example at hand at the moment).

What seems to happen(in both the bug report and in the Lua console, (when using the ctrl-space function to see the function source code) is that it sometimes lists the correct line number but in the wrong file.

So if you overload a function in one addon loaded after a previous one that holds a reference to that function (say in a bindhook call), it will display parts of the last loaded (overloaded) file, but will use the previous instance of the function (before overload) to determine the line numbers to display.

I said 1.1.3 not git, you git.

Incidently, have you looked into why it doesn't display the full error message in game?
