World Stuck in Generation While Testing Character Mod

[SupahStygian]

Hello, I'm trying to make a character and I'm in the early stages of it. I went ahead and tried to change a few voicelines in the lua script to see if it would apply correctly to the game, but now when I try to load this specific character mod, the "generating world" plays forever and never lets me create the world.

These are the files I made slight tweaks to:

modinfo

modmain

exported>Bentley>skirt (I replaced the files with the cleared versions, so it was invisible; this works fine in the spriter)

 

And here is the zip file for my mod. Could anyone please help me figure out what I messed up??

Tip: generate the world and save it before testing your character on the world. That way the game will usually just crash normally and not get stuck in an infinite loop.

I've gone through and found two things causing crashes.

1. You've inconsistently used Bentley/bentley when naming your character's prefab and the game can't find some of his files. I think "Bentley" is an invalid name anyway, so just use "bentley".

2. In your modmain you've put quotes around your perks and quirks: "*Fast on his feet"\n"*Loves to swing axes"\n"Very well insulated... when dry"\n" ...quotation marks are used for coding purposes, so you've split this chunk of text into several strings and the game is crashing trying to read it. If you need to put a quotation mark in a string write it like: \" so the game will know the quotation mark is cosmetic.

Since I had to rename a bunch of your files I think it's easier if I just send you what I have working.

*facepalm* Of course I make syntax errors in the coding and not notice; I'm new to coding still. Thank you for your corrections, and I'll be sure to be extra careful from now on!
