Greetings and Salutations. I've recently installed Towny on a server, and up until now, it was working perfectly. However, recently I've been getting getting a lot of 'null' errors when trying to input specific commands. So far, the commands /help towny and /town both yield this error. After a bit of research, I suspect that this has something to do with my economy plugin and Vault not hooking correctly, but in all honesty, I'm new to all of this and have no idea how to effectively resolve this issue. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an error related to the config files of towny.. can you paste the towny config files using www.pastebin.com? (LlmDl)
Towny Config File: http://pastebin.com/R6CZUEbT TownyChat Config File: http://pastebin.com/iJViESMB Towny Permissions Config File: http://pastebin.com/HMWqzh1r
chrisjahn Your config's regex section was broken. If you didn't edit it yourself then which ever way you're editing is usually to blame. Some people with this problem in the past found that it was caused by the webGUI they used (usually supplied by your host.)
LlmDl I've been editing the config file myself recently in order to meet my desired settings, of course. I don't believe my server hosting service has done anything to edit the Towny config files. I currently use the FTP File Access provided by my server provider, MCProHosting, in order to edit the config files. What would you suggest as being the best way to effectively resolve this issue?
@LlmDl Deleted the lines I found in the config file that contained the word "regex", and Towny recreated them, but it didn't resolve the 'null' issue. Then tried deleting the entire config file and let Towny just recreate it. New config file yielded the same 'null' error. For the sake of testing, I have deleted the newly generated config file and replaced it with the prior one, which I did a backup of before deleting it. The config file currently in use does have the freshly generated regex section, which reads as: Code: filters_colour_chat: # This is the name given to any NPC assigned mayor. npc_prefix: NPC # Regex fields used in validating inputs. regex: name_filter_regex: '[ /]' name_check_regex: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._\[\]-]*$ name_remove_regex: '[^a-zA-Z0-9._\[\]-]'
You put in a tab after the towny.command.nation.add node in the nation helper rank. Don't use tabs in .yml files
@LlmDl Removed the tab in the .yml, and it fixed the /town command, so that now works properly. But the /help towny command still yields a bunch of null errors. Also, I'd just like to take the time to thank you greatly so far for the help you've provided. I doubt I could have resolved these issues without your assistance.
@LlmDl Guessing /help towny is just a broken command that you didn't remove from the code, then? I do know that typing it in the console says: Code: /towny: null /nation: null /plot: null /resident: null /town: null /townyadmin: null /townyworld: null Regardless, if it's an outdated command, then it's nothing to worry about. As far as I can tell, all other towny commands work properly. Again, thank you greatly for the help you've provided. I'll be sure to take extra caution with .yml files in the future, after seeing just how sensitive they can be.
chrisjahn AFAIK the /help command is something bukkit added, it hooks into the plugin.yml, which towny has never used in that way.
