Weird issue with Scripts and the chat menu

I have no idea what is going on, I've cleared the chat log, duped the game, unloaded and removed scripts, and no matter what I do it persists. Basically, any time I call a script to put a menu in the chat window, it just doesn't work. Other things get sent to the chat window just fine, including other functions of the script, but I cannot get the configuration menus to come up, and it's only in one game. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ronnie Law! Can you give some more detail? I.e. describe what script, what command, how you are triggering it, and so forth, so we can either try to duplicate it or see where the hangup is occurring. Also, if clearing the chat, note that   clearing the Chat Archive  is different from  clearing your current Chat Log . A GM might want to copy/back up the Chat Archive before the Creator clears it.

I'm very aware of point #2 and I'm certain I've cleared the correct log. Let me see if I can give an example. TokenMod for example,  !token-mod --help  does nothing. The functions of the script seem to be intact, any macro I have that calls a function of that script seems to work, but the chat menu for  !token-mod --help  simply refuses to come up. GroupInitiative does the same thing with  !group-init --help . The functionality seems to be there, if I call the script to do something it appears to do it, but I cannot get the menus to show up in the chat log. Oddly, anything that seems to be an automated function seems to work fine, such as TurnMarker1, the callouts for whos turn it is show up and the buttons it creates in the chat menu work. I just can't get a damn config menu to show up to save my life. These menu/config functions work properly in my other games, and if I copy the game in question the problem persists to the copy as well. I've got a game to run in like an hour, so I won't be responding for a bit, but anything you can think of would be helpful. On another note, I've been getting my head around roll20 for like a month now, and your name always shows up in the most useful troubleshooting threads, so don't wrack your brain about it too hard, you've already helped me plenty :P Restarting the API doesn't resolve the issue either and I don't have any browser plugins or extensions running. If it's any help, I revered the game to yesterday before i was playing with scripts, and no dice, the only script in that game up to yesterday was TokenMod and I can't remember if I ever called up the help function, or when it was, but it would have been a while ago, so I don't know when that game broke. I'll probably end up regenerating it fresh, it's just a House of Lament one shot deal so it shouldn't be too bad, but if this were to happen to my Strahd campaign I think it'd be a dealbreaker. Having said all that, it might be user error somewhere and I can't get my head right to troubleshoot because I'm under the gun to run in an hour.

Well you've tried nearly everything I can think of. Maybe someone like The Aaron (the Master of the API) or timmaugh (with his data-pulling metascripts) can suggest a route to try. In the meantime, at least Token-mod creates a help handout, even if you can't config anything. If no help is forthcoming, the best bet is a  Console Log ( Chrome , Firefox ) and  Help Center Request . And thanks for the kind words. :)

Might try deleting your API scripts and re-adding them if you haven't tried that already?
Yeah, I tried that, no dice

Ronnie Law said: unloaded and removed scripts, ... Sorry Ronnie Law, I totally missed that. One other suggestion is to install one script at a time, check and see if you can get a help menu up.  Maybe there's a conflict between two or more scripts?  Just throwing darts.
