Using XLib in XGUI settings module

[roastchicken]

I made a settings panel for UTime, and it works fine if it is in the actual ulx addon folder. However when I try to package it as it's own addon it give me a console error saying that it 'xlib' is a nil value. This is strange to me because I had a look at another XGUI settings panel (Apple's XGUI version of autopromote) and it doesn't seem to do anything special in order to use xlib functions, but it doesn't give me any console errors. The even weirder thing is that my addon seems to work fine, even with the error.

Full error:

Not sure if you've solved this or not, but the error you posted is coming from "addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/cl/utimesettings.lua:1", which is a different (and incorrect) path from where you said the xgui addon code should be, which is "/addons/utime-xgui-settings/lua/ulx/xgui/settings/cl_utimesettings.lua".

Double check that and I will try and help you further. If you do have/need both files, you should probably make sure all xlib-related code stays in the xgui/settings/cl_utimesettings.lua file.

Well, it turns out I just made a stupid mistake. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy in the file paths Stickly Man! Turns out I had left a copy of the addon in addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/cl/utimesettings.lua while testing where to place the file, and just never deleted it.

Glad you got it figured out!
