Theme publishers - A theme loop checker is now part of SP77. Check your themes.

[Wayneo]

Evolv/James has added a 'loop checker' in escribe SP77  that checks the theme installed on a mod when one does 'upload settings to mod'. This stops the upload, describes the error and causes the user to have to install a 'clean' theme before continuing.

James' words 'That error is because I added a loop checker, which detects if a screen jumps to another screen that jumps back to the previous screen, all using "Go To Child Screen", which can run out the screen stack.'

Because of this, and how the user interacts with the theme, it can cause 'menu error' or that other oddity 'press left' due to a stack overflow.

Read the 'error' carefully and follow the instructions to fix it.

You have 2 choices. Either test your own theme now by simply using SP77 OR LATER and trying to install then upload to your mod or if a user gets the error, we will hide your theme until it is fixed and tested by you. Of course we will send you an email when we hide your theme.

How can I get around this restriction 'loop checker'?

I carefully read your instructions, SP76 is not available for download. What next? Thanks

I solved the problem by installing EScribe2_SP57_INT_ServicePack
Thanks for the space

You should write a comment on the theme for the author to see it and fix it.

By the time I had written that, SP76 was removed and replaced by SP77 (which you quoted).

That's certainly one way to get around a buggy theme and any minor enhancements.
