Spam to console "ScriptVmStringFromVariant failed ..."

[spumer]

Hi. When i connect to the server, system periodically spam to console with message:
"ScriptVmStringFromVariant failed to unpack parameter variant type 0"

I think this caused by SaveTale/RestoreTable functions

PS:
The .tbl file in left4dead2/ems folder exists.

Can you post the .tbl file here? Thanks.

[spumer]

Sure!

I posted a patch, see if you are still getting the errors.

[spumer]

@neil-119 No errors occured now. But as before (now only on both round starts) i got spam to console:

ScriptVmKeyValueFromVariant failed to unpack parameter variant type 0
ScriptVmKeyValueFromVariant failed to unpack parameter variant type 0
ScriptVmKeyValueFromVariant failed to unpack parameter variant type 0
ScriptVmKeyValueFromVariant failed to unpack parameter variant type 0
...

/ems/_vslib_global_cache.tbl seems not changed - don't have info about me - human

[neil-119]

Are you on Linux? Does _vslib_global_cache.tbl have its permissions set? It should be set to 755. If you copied the scripts from a different machine and uploaded it to your server, it might have the wrong permissions.

[spumer]

@neil-119 Yes, Linux. Are you talking about .nut files permissions? Specific permissions needed for vslib scripts? I'm use VSLib and it works fine, except SaveTable function (which usage spam to console)

I remove _vslib_global_cache.tbl and it created again with the similar content.
ems/ folder created by game and has 744 mode, .tbl file also created by game and has 664 mode.

Sorry for the late response; I have been really busy lately. Do you get similar errors on Windows (would it be possible to test your plugin on a windows machine)?
