Speech Files

[Dragolantis]

Heyo! I have been working on a mod for a while now, and my speech files for describing my things have broken. I've been using a system like this:

return{

 

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.CUSTOMNAME = "Name of custom item", -- followed by

GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.CUSTOMNAME = "Quote for wilson describing this item", -- and it continues for the other characters down this list.

}

With this sort of code, I ended up getting this error:

It had worked for a good while, but because I had been put the project on a long pause now this is the only thing that doesn't work anymore. I didn't think this of all things would be broken by the From Beyond updates but then again its programming. Can someone help me to figure out what is wrong with it?

I'm immediately wondering two things:
1. Why is your speech file in the prefabs folder?
2. What are the first 3 lines in your speech.lua file?

1. Because I don't want it all chilling in my modmain and for a while it worked in prefabs.

2.

return{
-- Item Name
GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.ITEMNAME = "Item Name",
 

Follwing this is the lines for each characters description of the item name, then this format repeats for my handful of other mobs/items. Yes, the return{ bracket is closed at the end.
