In the Overseer thread there is a potential fix posted. Might try this: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/overseer.83631/page-26#post-642251
Seemingly it's crashing because your log level isn't set when it gets to that step. This should be set per character within the config/overseer folder. Look for "loglevel" within the Lua file for the character it's crashing on.

i'm watching it now ty :-)
Need to download the zip in the post near the end, and unzip that in place of the current overseer files. It won't autoupdate until someone else takes over the project. So you would unzip that into the MQRoot/Lua/Overseer directory, it'll overwrite init.Lua in there with the potential fix.

Thanks it worked: download was the key!!! SOLVED
I am now under the impression that I wasn't even using Cannonball's upload to begin with. I remember downloading his file but I think at some point the redguides launcher overwrote it from an update all which seems to happen sometimes when updating MQ.

It will overwrite if you are watching this resource when updating. If you unwatch it will stop overwriting when you update with the launcher.

Scroll up to Cannonballd's message (Mar 17. 2025). It's a work around. The attachment works for me.
/smacks forehead!
Well, I'll be damned. I kept wondering why I'd have to copy from my back-up folder each time there was an update! And here I was thinking only the files that were new would be over written.
Thanks CB!

Not sure what is going on. I have been running this for over a year and never crashed a character. Maybe something else causing your issue.
I can help you fix that Lua error.
The error message attempt to call field 'Selected' (a nil value) on line 1139 of your overseer.Lua script indicates that you're trying to call a function named Selected on an object that doesn't have that function (it's nil). This is happening inside the mq.delay within your reward_select_item function.
The object returned by mq.TLO.Rewards.Reward(reward_index).Option(option_index).Item(item_index) does not have a .Selected() method, which is causing the script to crash.
You need to change line 1139 in overseer.Lua.
Current Code (Line 1139):
Replace it with this corrected line:
This new code will correctly check if the selected item in the RewardSelectionItemList window matches the item_index you intended to select, resolving the error.

I’m getting error codes whenever I create a new character using the Overseer Lua script. If I set all the quest types to automatically select the maximum available rewards, the script runs through its process and then throws an error code, causing the Lua script to stop.

Ok I’ll have to get it when I get back
Found another error in the overseer.Lua
Current Code (Line 1760):
Replace it with this corrected line:
This change ensures that the script first confirms tonumber(amount) is a valid number before attempting the comparison, which will prevent the error from occurring.
Current Code (Line 1760):
Lua:
if (tonumber(amount) > agentCountForConversion) thenReplace it with this corrected line:
Lua:
if (tonumber(amount) and tonumber(amount) > agentCountForConversion) thenThis change ensures that the script first confirms tonumber(amount) is a valid number before attempting the comparison, which will prevent the error from occurring.
Thank you
if you can get around to this one I would greatly appreciate it. my next overseer isnt up for 5 hours
Anyone ever come across this error? I've been using Overseer.mac, but decided to give the Lua a try instead. I have it collecting rewards just fine, but when it starts up to select quests, I get the error below. It looks like it has something to do with the snippet in the second screenshot. I'll dig deeper after work today and see if I can fix it, but I figured if someone has already come across it, it would save some time.
I'm getting the following on all toons when running overseer Lua:

Try the Overseer.Lua I posted in the post above yours.

If folks are using the launcher or redfetch to update their luas and they have this watched they may be overriding the two changes above.

Deleting and redownloading MQ2Rewards plugin just fixed this one for me.
You could try implementing this fix and see if that takes care of it. Was getting similar error and that seems to have fixed it.
Post in thread 'Overseer' https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/overseer.83631/post-648926
just fyi - there's no "deleting and redownloading" that fixes anything - if the plugin loads it works as the code says to work (which doesn't mean there isn't a possible bug) but just to say that deleting and redownloading doesn't do anything other than make you re-load the plugin with extra steps
I need to sit down one day and do this. Wouldn't mind keeping this up to date, once I can figure out what's causing the DB error I have.
