"Maybe writeprotected files 1!" error

Post by sierra »

Just drove a PR on Zig Zag and when I touched the flower, this came up:

Code: Select all

Maybe writeprotected files 1!
Never seen or even heard of this error before. Obviously I am quite annoyed that I now have to beat my time again, and even scared that the error will happen again. Any advice, preferrably not from AKB, Scruffy the janitor or Igge?

Oh no man what a bad feeling doing a pr and later that error.
My advice: If you will post here, try to make some laugh at readers. Select all elma files, right click, and delete. Then, if you are a cool and funny person, you will be able to play elma without errors.

Obviously, I wasn't specific enough with my list of unwanted commentators. Allow me to extend it to include the following members:

-Sla
-Mawane
-Xratio

Actually more or less everybody. Nobody is allowed to reply to this.

i told this to jaytea and asked him to tell you. however i changed my mind about not wanting to help you directly and now im demanding a written thank you note preferably in new and dedicated topic for it at mopolauta general section.

obviously you do not posses similar high-end technical knowledge about computers as byce so i advice you not to try apply to MIT with him
Now hold on, Iron Joe...

Hmm. You're right, but it doesn't seem to be that simple. I right-click 'Elma' folder, un-check the 'Read Only' box, 'Apply to this folder and all sub-folders', then afterwards I right-click the folder again and the 'Read Only' box is checked again. Same happens when I do the same procedure to 'Rec' folder, 'Lev' folder, even 'My Documents' folder.

edit > doesn't matter, drove new PR and the error didn't come.
