blackshark\modules\me_logbook.lua:141 attempt to index field 'player' (a nil value)

Game ran "straight out of the box" no problems initially.

However, whilst editing Pilot Logbook/Profile I at one stage had 2 pilots with same name. Game locked up and on restarting this error comes up and game crashes back to desktop.

...blackshark\modules\me_logbook.lua:141 attempt to index field 'player' (a nil value)

 

I uninstalled and made sure that no files or folders were left in the Eagle Dynamics folder and also deleted this.

 

I've tried this twice with a new install and I'm still getting the error.

 

Please could you advise?

 

Thanks

 

PS Looked and played fantastic before I buggered it up...

I am having the exact same problem. The sim worked great and now I am getting this error.

Try using this logbook file and see if it helps.

 

If you ever edit an lua file DO NOT USE NOTEPAD.

 

Use this: http://luaedit.luaforge.net/

 

Notepad is not the same format.

me_logbook.zip

Thanks for that Shepski but it didn't work i'm afraid.

I tried this also and it did not work. I do appreciate the response!

Just to clarify,editing was done within the game, not externally (i.e. using notepad).

Also, none of the reinstalls i've done have asked me for my serial number again.

 

TBob, did was your error as a result of editing profile?

My errors started after my original pilot decided to tie the low altitude record. I created a new pilot and then the troubles began. I can still get into multiplayer but not single.

Ok, I've manged to get back to a working installation.

After uninstalling, make sure you find EVERYTHING associated with the game. If you have Vista you can type KA-50 in the search box or alternatively just use the XP file search option.

I found more stuff even after uninstalling which possibly still had the corrupted .lua file.

Once i'd deleted all these files and folders too, my re-installation worked.

 

For now i'm steering clear of the logbook.

 

Just got to get into memory how to start the thing now.

Thanks d3, that did the trick. I am now back in the saddle...errr...cockpit in single player. I am also staying away from the logbook. I think when I named my second new pilot exactly after my first "dead" pilot, it caused some problems.

 

Now, back to tying that low altitude record...................

Glad you guys got it working!

Nice one TBob, glad to be of service.

Just to add to this, I had the same problem, but didn't want to reinstall, because I wasn't sure exactly what settings I'd changed and everything.. So I found this topic:

and it worked for me (after translating it anyway).

 

Just delete the players.lua file in \BlackShark\data\scripts\Logbook
