Traceback (and debug.getinfo) shows line that doesn't exist

[KingofTown]

Are there hidden files somewhere that get loaded? 

Something is calling a function and changing a structure and I'm trying to find out who/what/when/why. 

In data/scripts/componetns/hounded.lua - there is a function that is called that sets the spawnData. This is used because caves have a different set of spawn data from the forest (worms vs hounds). 

 

function self:SetSpawnData(data)

    _spawndata = data

end

I've replaced hounded with my own mod. It is a AddComponentPostInit load of the entire class and has the SetSpawnData function as well. But, for whatever reason, something somewhere is calling it with odd data. 

function self:SetSpawnData(data)   

    print("Updating _spawndata")

    print("Before: ")

    for k,v in ipairs(_spawndata.warning_sound_thresholds) do

        print(v.sound)

    end

    _spawndata = data

 

    print("After: ")

    for k,v in ipairs(data.warning_sound_thresholds) do

        print(v.sound)

    end

Whoever is calling this is changing the valid "houndwarning_lvl1" to :"LVL1". Same for "LVL2", "LVL3", "LVL4". Likewise, the caves changes it from "wormwarning_lvl1", to "LVL1_WORM", "LVL2_WORM", ... etc. 

I can't find those strings anywhere. Those sound prefabs don't exist. It should be "houndwarning_lvl1" in the forest, not "LVL1". 

OK, I'll just print out who is calling this, right? 

function self:SetSpawnData(data)

 

    local level = 1

    while true do

      local info = debug.getinfo(level, "Sl")

      if not info then break end

      if info.what == "C" then   -- is a C function?

        print(level, "C function")

      else   -- a Lua function

        print(string.format("[%s]:%d",

                            info.source, info.currentline))

      end

      level = level + 1

    end

 

Which generates the following:

[00:26:49]: [../mods/DST-Hounded/scripts/components/hounded.lua]:1011    
[00:26:49]: [scripts/prefabs/forest.lua]:473    
[00:26:49]: [scripts/prefabs/world.lua]:431    

.....but, there is no line 473 in forest.lua. That file is only 250ish lines. It's the same line if I throw an exception and look at the traceback.too.

I search the entire game folder, there is no reference to anything that might call SetSpawnData., It does exist in forest.lua, but the data structure I see in there looks right. And modifying that function in the game code doesn't print out anywhere. In fact, I can put in syntax errors and it changes nothing. I'm convinced /scripts/prefabs/forest.lua isn't used at all.

 

It's been years since I wrote this mod and have posts on the workshop saying it's broken, so I want to update it to get it working with the latest....but I'm lost. Everything is now working, except for the hound warning isn't playing.

 

Thank you!

Try using:

CalledFrom()

It should print out the whole trace

[KingofTown]

[00:01:09]: @scripts/prefabs/forest.lua:473 in master_postinit    

 

Wait, you know what? 

What is /data/databundles??!??

 

There is a scripts.zip in there, and sure enough, it has all the info I'm looking for!

 

    --Key = time, Value = sound prefab
    warning_sound_thresholds =
    {
        { time = 30, sound =  "LVL4" },
        { time = 60, sound =  "LVL3" },
        { time = 90, sound =  "LVL2" },
        { time = 500, sound = "LVL1" },
    },

 

In fact, the hounded component is different too. 

 

Why are these files different than the ones installed?!?

Resources are loaded from the data bundles. Anything outside (especially a script) is most likely trivial and unused.
