Need help with coding

[Janjakob2000]

So I didn't really know where to go with this and have tryed several sites for answer about lua coding, and now I'm here, hoping someone can find a solution for me, as I'm not very familiar with lua, knowing only the basics, which probaly isn't enough, I keep getting this error, as I'm tyring to adjust some things in this addon I downloaded from the internet.

Now here's my error and I don't know what I'm doing wrong,

Code: [Select]

[ERROR] addons/apple_manage_chat_tags/lua/autorun/cl_chat_apple_tag.lua:54: unexpected symbol near ')'
  1. unknown - addons/apple_manage_chat_tags/lua/autorun/cl_chat_apple_tag.lua:0

 I only want the user group premium to have a rainbow colored name, which I can do by doing <hsv></hsv> and put something in it like
<hsv>ThisIsMyUserName</hsv> but this addon keeps giving me errors, and I think I'm probaly doing something wrong in the code, and don't know the solution, if any of you could teach me how to do it correctly to make it work, or give me a good version of my code, I would appreciate it, like so badly!

The release thread for this addon is actually in our Releases section.

Error stack traces from Gmod can be sometimes cryptic, but, they're almost always good enough to tell you the line number something went wrong in the first line of stack.
Your error is telling you a symbol is at or near line 54 in the file that Lua saw and went "uh, what? Why is this here?!"

Get a text editor that shows line numbers. (I personally use Notepad++, but, there are many)
Paste that code into it, or open the file using it.
Look at line 54 as the error explains.

You have a ) "close parenthesis" somehow at line 53.
Remove it.
Go from there.

Removed it, addon broken.
(the addon doesn't work anymore)

[Janjakob2000]

Is there any fix for this? :c

[JamminR]

First, telling anyone it's broken is kind of null and void.
It works for many people or Mr Apple would likely ask us to remove it, as he's quite active in his Release thread like I mentioned.
http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,6196.0.html
Make sure you're using the latest version of his code. You said you downloaded "from the internet"...that could be anywhere but proper/latest.

What error occurs now?
