Timer error since upgrade to .21

rapattack · Post by **rapattack** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 8:29 am

Hi there,

I just upgraded 1.6.20 to 1.6.21 and now I'm experiencing problems with my trivia tcl (the only thing that was changed for a long time, is just the upgrade, so there can't be another cause).

The error I get in the partyline is the following: [19:01:01] Tcl error [tgcheckanswer]: invalid timerID
and this is the tcl that I'm using: http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=15638

So can you please suggest me a fix for this, I would like to use the newest version. I didn't have the problem anymore when I downgraded back to *.20.

Kind regards!

At the link to the forum thread posted by Spike^^, there are several posts in that thread.

Note this one, in particular:

For what it is worth:
That is how I do it. I simply follow that. I don't use a patch.

I find the file that is mentioned, and text search it for the exact text shown, and upon finding it, replace it with the other text shown.

Works fine.
Easy.
Takes less than a minute.

The method you choose to use is up to you. I just wanted to share my experience. That single post by nml375 makes it very easy.
You may want to read the whole thread, to get it in context.

I hope this helps.
