dummy guide how to fix broken Lua Use Interface:

does your User Interface look like this?



if so try to reload the normal luaui when typing ingame in the chat:
/luaui reload

if nothing happens but you see some error spam in the chat, check you infolog.txt, which is, for windows users at your spring installation base folder (in my case E:\Spring_old\infolog.txt)

maybe you will find something like i found. my infolog is here: http://pastebin.com/Htr3xntd . look at the lines 736-762, which popped up after typing the reload command. in line 761 is says:

[f=0001217] Error: Lua LoadCode pcall error

0, luaui.lua, error

2, LuaUI/cawidgets.lua, error = 3, LuaUI/Configs/zk_keys.lua, [string "[color=red]LuaUI/Configs/zk_keys.lua[/color]"]:127:'}' expected (to close '{' at line 2) near '"Ctrl+Shift+f10"'

now open the file E:\Spring_old\LuaUI/Configs/zk_keys.lua (adapt to your spring installation path) and check the line which it says in the red part (here:line number 127)

my file looked like:


in comparison with the original installation file, line 127 is the keycode for video record.

so i exchanged the line to

{ "createvideo", "Ctrl+Shift+f10",},

and my zerok is back to normal:



a fresh installation might do the job too. the cause for this hillarious line change lies in the darkness, but with the corrupted syntax of the line, the luaui could not be loaded. if this occours to you on another line, you might ask someone for the correct correspondance, but be sure to keep the syntax of the file with all braces opening/closing and the commas at the right places, like you see from the other lines around.

HF and thx @[DOOP]fortaleza for his helping spirit

thx @[DOOP]fortaleza ,i found the issue.

somehow the line

{ "createvideo", "Ctrl+Shift+f10",},

was replaced with the wrong syntax (and missing introducing "{" )

"Ctrl+Shift+f10""Ctrl+Shift+f10",},

i have no idea how this happened, i did not have my hands on these files... :/

This looks like basic Lua debugging.

But eh, it makes no sense why ZK_Keys has these problems. Isn't it the same for everyone unless you customized it (and therefore you did it wrongly)?

It's not meant to be edited by beginners. The menu builds it when binding keys in game. I have no idea why the file became corrupt that way.

i did not edit the file at any time before this occured.

i have not a single customized key now and in the past.

Three is a pattern. bluelizard was the same. He didn't even know how to edit his keys. Maybe the menu is randomly adding junk in?

He had two extra lines, one for binding [ and ] to shift [ and shift ] (wtf..) and then another line after that which was just a closed bracket...

If your lua crashes, it takes your teamcolours.lua with it, which uses the default colours, which are usually not set by most users (Though afair the default was black rather than teal).

CarRepairer, I told you about zk_keys.... I told you....

Things that work should stay that way.
