Problem with 5dim

[[HdF] Almut Grete]

We just encountered a bg with teh 5dim mod.
When loading the savegame it says:

Error while running the event handler: _ _5dim_trains_ _/control.lua:743:attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

and the game can only be closed. :(

I can not figure out what is wrong here and i can barely understand lua :/
I can pinpoint the problem comeing up after placeing electric- and water- as well as electric-water-rails and/or maybe teh trains for it.
While playing all was fine. Just now teh savegame will not work anymore.

Any tips?

Are you using the current version of 5dim (version 3.0.0 for most modules)?
5dim download: http://5dimmod.com/download.php

If that doesn't help, post your problem in the 5dim forums:

Yes, got all these on the server.

For teh last hours i deactivated 5dim_trains went into teh save game (no error but all 5dim train stuff remove), made a new save game, reactivated the mod and started resarching all the stuff again.
I then checked for a save game + reload -> worked
So i build every part of 5dim trains. save game + reload -> worked
playced all the parts in the world ... .... -> worked
placed everyting around teh world, mixing all kinds of rails, trains, wagons, etc. .... ..... -> worked

Can not replicate the error.
Need help from someone that know what this lua line at 743 is / does and why it causes an error. :/

Edit: Thanks for the fast reply!

sounds to me like you have a version mismatch mate, just try to redownload the mod/modpack

No mismatch there is something wrong in the mod :(
Even though i already had teh newest version i redownloaded it just in case and replaced it. Still teh sma error.

Like i said we can not replicate teh situation that causes the problem but it is linked to electrical trains and/or rails.
Just playing without them for the time beeing. No use building up the trains again and losing them.

I have a game MANY hours in and now, when I went to try to load an auto save this time, despite doing it many times before, I now get a crash error of "__5dim_trains__/control.lua:743: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)" the only thing I could think is different from now and other times I've loaded is I had Smart Trains having an Electric Train on a line that waits until empty and waits till full loop"

Been a while since it is around ^^
The post tehre is kind of nice since some ppl find and fix bugs like that themselfes, explaining what they did but it is not consistent to get an answer and help, it seems :(
