Hi All,

OK I am new to this wonderfull program so hi to all that are allready here. I uploaded the new build last night and installed it this morning and when I opened the program after I did the install I got this error message on start up.

CVarList::GetOrCreateEx error:
- Variable type mismatch (VarList vs. string)

CL3DTApp::LoadPathsIni error:
- Cannot get var 'Paths.L3DT.Resources' from line 1

CVarList::GetOrCreateEx error:
- Variable type mismatch (VarList vs. string)

CL3DTApp::LoadPathsIni error:
- Cannot get var 'Paths.L3DT.Tutorial' from line 2

CVarList::GetOrCreateEx error:
- Variable type mismatch (VarList vs. string)

CL3DTApp::LoadPathsIni error:
- Cannot get var 'Paths.VTP.Enviro' from line 3

CVarList::GetOrCreateEx error:
- Variable type mismatch (VarList vs. string)

CL3DTApp::LoadPathsIni error:
- Cannot get var 'Paths.VTP.Data' from line 4

Am I missing something? or is it just a BUG? the other version worked fine for me before. I am excited about getting the pro version soon, this software rocks. OK looking forward to diologue with all of you guys see yall soon.

Oh bugger!

Thanks for the bug-report DeathTwister.

In the last build I repaired some path-handling stuff, which I now see is incompatible with older versions of the 'paths.ini' file from previous installation of L3DT.

You can fix this by deleting the ‘[L3DT installation]\settings\paths.ini’ file, or by uninstalling L3DT before installing this latest update. I will shortly be updating the installers so that, for this release only, they delete this file when you install L3DT.

This bug shouldn't affect all users; only those that have previously modified the paths settings using the 'File->Edit paths...' option. That's the theory at least.

Sorry for the problem.

Cheers,
Aaron.
