Error message

[Elvenlady]

I'm getting the following error message on login for one of my characters:

--- error: server_thread: malformed XML: missing tag start
Line:
Position:
Last 80 unconsumed characters:

It doesn't seem to cause me any issues. Any clues as to why and what I should do about it?

I got that when I rerolled a character at an inn recently.

That just means Simu sent you some bad XML. If the XML was for something that Lich tracks, like your current room or mana or something, then whatever it is won't be tracked right until it changes. It's usually safe to ignore it thought.

If it's happening at every login, send me a log of the XML and I'll try to put a workaround in for it. Simu isn't all that great at XML, and there's already a few workarounds in there to fix various things.

To get the XML log, either type this before it happens:
;e status_tags; loop { echo get }

or this soon after it happens
;e echo $_SERVERBUFFER_

Thanks Tillmen, I'll check it next time I log in.
