Mlox Crashing

[ProfArmitage]

I just did a clean install of Morrowind and MGSO.

I installed the latest versions of MGE XE, MWSE, Mlox, MCP, and the Morrowind Patch Project.

I installed John Moonsugar's MGSO patch, Spirit's MGSO Daedric Armor fix, replaced STA Guides with the non-script version, and installed the latest version of Graphic Herbalism, with the Extra and Ore Replacer compatibility. Nothing else yet.

 

Suddenly, Mlox has stopped working in the middle of it.

 

This is the error message it produces:

 

mlox.exe 0.61 [mlox-base 2017-08-02 15:53:33 (UTC)] (en/cp1252)
Python Version: 2.7
wxPython Version: 2.8.12.1

Traceback (most recent call last):

Mlox freezes, and I have to use the Task Manager to shut it down.

In the latest rule-set update I added some rules in for Tooplex's "BTBs Game Improvements - MGSO Compatibility". The rules check the plugin Descriptions for text unique to Tooplex's mods (he modified BTB's ones)

 

Text I was checking for including asterisks though, looks like those throw the regular expression parser into a tizzy.

 

So not a problem with the mod or with Python or mlox's code. Rather a problem caused because I didn't realise the effect that including asterisks would have as they're special characters in regular expressions.

 

I'll make some changes and see if we can get an update out.
