Bug reports
CHECK IF EVERY OTHER ADDON OF THE SERVER IS UP TO DATE!!! OTHERWISE WE SEARCH FOR BUGS THAT NEVER EXISTED!!!
ALSO USE OFFICIAL WORKSHOP/GITHUB ADDONS AND NOT SVN ONES!


Finally I created a section for bugs.

Here is a little manual how bugs "should" be reported. (That doesn't mean that you can't do it differently but that would be the optimal style)

Bug Report:
A copy of the bug, which was printed into console

Description:
- How can we reproduce it, to fix the error?

Optional Notes:
- Relevant addons, which could be part of this error
- ...

Please also have in mind that you report bugs clearly.
e.g. this is NOT a bug report:

BUG!
ANTISPAM don't work!!11!1!!! Addon broken... HELP!!!!111!!1!!!11



So hopefully we were able to show you how you can report bugs!
Thank you!

Oh, yes I know this bug. I fixed it already. Patcher needs to upload the neweset version and everything should work! :)

Patcher just uploaded the update, so the bug should be fixed. There is also a new notification system with some animaions ;)

Hmm, please check if the server addon list doesn't have the addon in the list. Then also check the addons folder of the server if there is anything which has "patchprotect" in the filename.

Hmm, also very strange. Are there any bugs if you try to open the q-menu? Are you sure that it comes from patchprotect and not from any other addon?
Because patchprotect only adds 3 entries in the "utilities" tab and nowhere else.
Ok when I launch the server with the addon installed is get tons of errors:

thelonewolf4321 :2 : STEAM_0:0:064073643 Lua Error:
[ERROR] addons/wiremod/lua/wire/client/customspawnmenu.lua:457: attempt to index
a nil value
1. FixWireCategories... and I get 5 of those including sandbox spawnmenu error

This is not an error of patchprotect. It is an error of wiremod. You can post this error on the github page of wiremod, so they would be able to fix it.
So should I remove wiremod since I dont really use it
Ok I removed wiremod and it worked!!! thank you so much!!!

So if I want to add wiremod again I should talk to the owners of that

It got removed after we removed the server files, it was not showing in the server addons list but when the files were checked we found copies of it (kinda like a computer-cancer) that we presumed to be corrupted as the addon began to cause lua errors within 32 hours of it's supposed removal (this was before we found these weird copies). No clue why it did that. Im sure it's not trying to act like a virus, but perhaps instalation was flawed.

Ok, I got this bug when adding multiple people to my buddies list. It doubles the people that you have not added to your buddies list and shows your buddies on the list too. This is the picture.

It is giving me this in console.

[ERROR] lua/patchprotect/client/buddy.lua:92: attempt to concatenate a nil value
1. AddBuddy - lua/patchprotect/client/buddy.lua:92
2. args - lua/patchprotect/client/panel.lua:251
3. DoClick - lua/patchprotect/client/derma.lua:201
4. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:206

Also this.

Seems that on steam is currently not the newest version, because the error doesn't point to a variable which returns nil. I will test this out with patcher. Thank you for the bug report!

Not sure if this already got mentioned but when you area select with any tool it ignores the PP which is pretty bad because players can easily steal your contraptions with advanced duplicator 2 would appreciate it if this gets fixed cant use this pp meanwhile :/ but its a great PP tho!
