Custom character errors-- modhelp please!

grimyard · July 23, 2019

I'm trying to create a character mod for my friend, and I have definitely gone in over my head. I've made simple character mods before, but I think I messed something up on this one and I'm at a loss for how to fix it. I tried asking a computer engineer friend of mine and tried posting on reddit for help to no avail.

Basically, the errors that I'm experiencing say that they're in the script on line 2376. Error block below.

[00:01:25]: Error loading main.lua
[00:01:25]: Failed mSimulation->Reset()

The script, to what I can see, has identical syntax to every other character mod that I have. I don't know what I'm missing here that I can't get the mod to work without immediately crashing the game just by being enabled.

On another note, I can't get the mod icon to work. There was something about converting it to .tex, but when I tried, the tex converted said that this wasn't allowed and went against some admin rules? I don't know what to do about that, Don't Starve isn't recognising it as a texture.

Lastly, and here's where I'm really getting over my head, I'm looking to have this character be able to teleport (I stole a teleport device from another mod, but can't figure out how to edit it) and have a mask which functions like the moggles, but without durability. Ideally, it would give a damage reduction, night vision, and a sanity drain, but I have no idea how to write that code and searching for help with this seems to all be in program language that I can't understand. Would anyone be able to help me with figuring out what I've done wrong and how I can fix it?

Thank you. Speech lua attached in files.

Another edit. Got the mod to run, the teleportation works, but the character + teleporter device is invisible. anim files ARE renamed, I did not delete any export files.

Did you fix the filename and folder references in the XML files?
