They are called when changing element text, such as:
Code:
NBUI.NB1RightPage_Title:SetText(NBUI.UnprotectText(title))
Or the other, when saving into variable.
I couldn't load the game with it. Other users reported errors only. I removed them, assuming that by now the game handles string issues better than years ago. This is to help the devs figure out the issue further, to avoid future crashes.  Thanks! |
gsub returns two values: the changed string and the replacement count.
SetText takes two parameters. But the second must be boolean. gsub returns int. => boom
You can not directly use gsub and SetText in one operation.

Lua Code:
local value = gsub(...) -- take first return value only.
edit:SetText(value)
