I wrote this plugin to display my own afflictions in a table in an IRE game. However, I keep getting the result 'No valid affliction add data received in GMCP.' every time an affliction is added or removed. Thank you in advance for your help.

Edit: GMCP_handler_NJG plugin installed.

Please add some debugging. In the function gmcp_affliction_add add the lines:


require "tprint"
tprint (gmcp)

Then post what you see when an affliction is added or removed.

Where is the variable "gmcp" set up anyway? I think the GMCP data is probably in "data" so that when you call:


            gmcp_affliction_add()

You should probably have instead:


            gmcp_affliction_add(data)

And then in the declaration for the function gmcp_affliction_add take that as an argument:


function gmcp_affliction_add (gmcp)

If you don't do that then gmcp will be nil because you never set it to anything.

Thank you, Nick. Your guidance and this debug management were very helpful. It is working good now.
