Thanks for the report. The crash is fixed in 0.16 already. What's wrong is a few things:

• You've included your settings in the data stage - they don't go there. Just delete "require("settings")" from data.lua
• Your "settingspanel.lua" file is completely broken (see blow)

This - is unreadable

Code: Select all

function GetSettingsValue(SettingsValue)
if (SettingsValue.value==nil) then local output=false else local output=true end
if (output==true) then local returnstring=settings.startup[SettingsValue].value end
return returnstring
end

You're using locals inside if/else statements which means they only exist for those branches. As soon as the if/else is left that value is now nil - gone. Because of that every call to that function will always return nil - which isn't valid for anything asking for a setting. You should use this:

Code: Select all

function GetSettingsValue(setting, defaultValue)
	if (settings.startup[setting] == nil) then
		return defaultValue;
	end
	
	return settings.startup[setting].value
end

Here it takes a setting name to look up and a default value if that setting doesn't exist. If it doesn't exist it returns the default value and it's all good.
