Version of Octolapse

Octolapse Version: 0.4.5

Version of OctoPrint

OctoPrint Version: 1.9.3

When you ran into the problem, did you have diagnostic logging enabled?

Diagnostic Logging was Enabled: No

What were you doing when the problem occurred

1. I had edited the Start G-Code in Cura so that Auto Configuration would work for OctoLapse
2. I sliced a new model and loaded the file into OctoPrint
3. When I went to print I got the following error:

Some slicer settings were missing from your gcode file. Missing Settings: Retraction Length,Retraction Speed,Deretraction Speed,Z Lift Height,X/Y Travel Speed,Z Travel Speed

What should have happened?

No error message with OctoLapse

My Fix
Need to add six more properties to the Start G-Code in Cura

; The following 6 settings were not part of the original G-Code
; and will cause OcotoLapse to throw an error. So I added them and everything works fine now
; retraction_distance = {retraction_amount}
; deretraction_speed = {retraction_speed}
; retraction_length = {retraction_amount}
; x_y_travel_speed = {travel_speed}
; z_lift_height = {z_hop_height}
; z_travel_speed = {z_hop_speed}

The full script located here:

Should look like this for it to work.

; retraction_enable = {retraction_enable}

; retraction_prime_speed = {retraction_prime_speed}
; speed_travel = {speed_travel}

; x_y_travel_speed = {travel_speed}

What happened instead?

Got the error message above.

My Octolapse was working perfectly fine until last week and now it is coming up with the same error. gcode was copied and pasted and was working great now it is not and had to disable it to be able to print.
