The game just crashes before loading leaving no log.

Hello! I'm new with Lua and DST stuff, however know how to dig into game's code. So I'm trying to make my first mod but after I press button 'Generate World' I'm thrown into a white background (that one BEFORE Loading... appears). I checked my code for several hours and found nothing. Also, as the world didn't even start generating I'm left with no log under Cluster folder. I put attached folder to Don't Starve Together/mods. Is something wrong with the code, structure, maybe my PC?

I see in your folder that you don't have any anim file and that you also don't load one in the mod main even though you have an exported folder. Your prefab loads an anim file that is not there, that's probably why it's crashing.

Thanks for the reply. I compiled my scml to a zip and put it to anim/. It's also linked to prefab script. But still facing the same problem.

When starting the world with this mod, I get a server log with this error:

I think this is because there is nor WILSON strings, as GENERIC comes from speech_wilson.lua.

So just delete the line with WILSON and it should work.

Thanks! It now works! I missed that. Seems you gotta load into existing world to receive a log. So much thank you.
