Title: Problems with prompt box
Post by: bomb3rman on April 14, 2022, 09:58:37 am

Hey guys, after a long absence, I decided to go on with fredding. I thought it would be a good start to bring the system up to a recent version, but after updating to fs2open 22.0, I'm getting this really weird error-message in one of my missions, related to the promptbox-script:

LUA ERROR: [string "proBox-sct.tbm - On Game Init"]:87: attempt to index a nil value

stack traceback:

Has anyone experienced this error, too? Is there maybe an updated version of the Promptbox I have to use?

Thx, that's good to hear. So I just wait for another nightly, then :)
