My character mod keeps crashing the game, i don't know what is causing it

[CrisChemical]

I've been making my first character mod recently and when i create a world with the mod enabled, it crashes.

I think an item i added may be the one causing it, when i tried the mod without it, everything went as expected.

 

Also, i want the character to only gain 50% of all food values (Just like wortox), but i don't really know how to add this, any ideas on how to do it?

Here are the mods files and the crash log, thank you in advance. "Hungern" is the item i added and "Umbrellaren" is the character, just in case

Hey-hey!

Inside the client log, you can see the following error message:

Quote

[00:01:38]: [string "../mods/Umbrella/modmain.lua"]:65: attempt to index global 'RECIPETABS' (a nil value)

This means that there's something wrong inside modmain.lua around line number 65.

In your case, the problem is that you noted RECIPETABS.WAR and TECH.NONE inside the custom recipe without telling the game what you mean by these. Whenever you state something in all caps, you have to note them inside the modmain.lua.

To be exact, you have to add these just below local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS:

Quote

local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH 

I'm not 100% sure why it is necessary programming-wise, but it's a general rule in Don't Starve modding.

It might be an overkill in this case, but I usually add all of these. They cover all the things I need:

Quote

local require = GLOBAL.require
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
local Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH 

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local _G = GLOBAL
local TUNING = _G.TUNING
local CHARACTER_INGREDIENT = GLOBAL.CHARACTER_INGREDIENT
local RECIPETABS = _G.RECIPETABS
local Ingredient = _G.Ingredient
local TECH = _G.TECH
local CUSTOM_RECIPETABS = _G.CUSTOM_RECIPETABS

This should make it work, but there's something wonky about the modicon as well: Copy and paste the modicon files from the images folder to the mod's general folder (so they are next to the modmain and the modinfo.lua).

This will be a Skullgirls character, right? I'm really curious how it will turn out.

Hope this helps.

Happy modding!
