Trusts: Lua runtime error: Unexpected character line 7

[Millercan66]

Downloaded Windower 4.3 stable version. Trust addon is useless. Checked the internet on how to fix problem, no luck. I'm not a coder I'm just a FFXI player. I don't understand the whole Lua thing but this problem has prevented me from saving trust sets, listing trust sets, and recalling them. If you could sent me instructions on how to fix this I would be grateful. gncmill@gmail.com.

The whole line in the BG console reads:

Trusts: Lua runtime error: libs/config.lua:99: XML error, line 7: unexpected character '#'.

What is the name you tried to save the set under? it looks like you probably saved a set with a # in it and that is not a legal character for a set name. you can delete your settings file located in the addon/trust folder and then try saving the settings again using a simple name like ddparty or supportparty

yeah, you corrupted your settings file by using special characters in your set name. keep it simple and it won't break itself

Thanks, how do I get to said folder?

This is really a config issue. It's not serializing special characters correctly, but it should. The XML library handles that case correctly, but the config library only uses that library to read settings, not to write them, because it wouldn't support keeping certain formatting structures (like comments).

To fix this, we would need to change a few lines in the nest_xml functions to escape the values they're formatting. It's not super trivial but can be done in a short ish time if someone wants to take a stab at it. Poke me if you want to and need some pointers.

delete the addon's settings file and reload the addon, and don't use special characters such as < or > in your set names
