Every time I type "/c 1 [etc]" I recieve the following error:

Can't utilize general chat commands.

String: Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua
Line: 2396
Count: 6
Error: Attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'channel' (a nil value)

Close // [DIS]Report

Line 2396 reads:
if (CosmosMaster_ChanList[channel+0]) then
and is followed up by

channelName = CosmosMaster_ChanList[channel+0];
channelNum = CosmosMaster_GetChannelNumber(channelName);
else
channelNum = 0;
end
end
-- END Cosmos Channel mod
if ( channelNum <= 0 ) then
return;
end

I have a feeling this is a simple fix, unfortunetly my xml experience is limited to fucking around with the default.xbe and config.xbe files for xbox dashboards :/

Any assistance would be great.

xml and lua are totally different things.

XML is for organizing data. Lua is an interpreted scripting language.

This should be fixed in the alpha, but it might take 10-20 hours for it to "percolate" up to the patcher.

Try repatching every once in a while and see if it works better... also, you should try to rename your Interface directory.

It is people like you that make the open source community such a wonderful "place."

Thank you for all your assistance.

Hmm.

Some gnomes have reported success with searching for chat-cache.txt and deleting it.
