Hash mismatch warnings in console.log

[Milmoor]

One of my players got a freight because of the console popping up. I explained he can open or close it as needed, but did take another look in the log itself. There are a few "Hash mismatch"-warnings in there which I don't understand. What do they signify and how to solve it? Add the features again?

They will probably go away if you click Force Update in the FG Updater.

However the real issue that caused it to pop up is:
[4/16/2021 8:07:06 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "chareffectlist"]:113: attempt to compare number with nil

Perhaps you're using an extension and need to update it?

[Milmoor]

Uhm, I don't see a Force Update option. What am I overlooking? I have updated all my DMSguild extensions, and will do an update round on the Forum ones.

I'll ask for help for the [string "chareffectlist"]:113 at the author, providing the character XML with it.

I believe the hash mismatch warnings are an indication that the local copy of the module (either an installed module or a cached copy downloaded from the GM) are not the same as the GM version. The next line in the log shows that the data is downloaded from the GM to make sure that the player has the same version as the GM.

[Milmoor]

That seems logical. I recently updated quite some addons. So a player connecting would need new version. Live and learn.

Players don't need the extensions or modules installed locally, as your computer sends them resources like that when they connect. They just have to have clicked update in the launcher if you have clicked update in the launcher.
However, I think what Trenloe is saying is that if they DO have the modules in their local folders it will check to make sure they are identical and use the local copy first if they are identical.

They would need the modules, those are in the screenshot in the first post. I called those addons, which might be confusing.

I figured that is what you meant. But they only need the modules if they're running their own games; when the GM has modules in the modules folder, the players get access when they are connected to the GM's server.

Basically they are using a different version of the effects coding extension module from the GM. I'm pretty sure that's one of Rob2E's from the DMs Guild. I'd ask the player to go and make sure he's using the latest versions. Or the GM needs to update if the player has a later version.

[Milmoor]

I'm the GM. My players don't have personal modules or extensions. I'm using an ultimate license, and I'm the one who introduced them to FG. So the updating of the modules is a build in mechanism of FG after an update to the clients. Those do need it apparently. This will happen only once after I updated at my side.

I reported the last two lines to the extension author.
