bad argument #1 to 'ipairs'

[MidrealmDM]

I have a character mod that I was developing and it was working previously, and now has suddenly stopped working - the following error.

It seems that you are passing a function as a table. To be specific, your assets table (which in your case isn't a table) is the issue, I believe.

Well, like I said, it was working previously and I'm not sure what part/file needs to be fixed. I didnt make any changes, but I hadn't tried to run it in the past month or two, so it has something to do with the lastest updates to Don't Starve.

 

I've attached the player prefab.lua (see original post) - any ideas where the problem lies?

 

And thanks again for the assist

Precisely.

There should be a 'nil' before the assets table in the MakePlayerCharacter call. And player_common.lua:162 is not blank, you're probably just reading the vanilla file instead of the RoG one.

You are correct...

The log referenced D:/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/prefabs/player_common.lua(162,1)

so that is precisely where I looked. But in the DLC folder I found a different one and it does contain

 

 if customprefabs then

        for k,v in ipairs(customprefabs) do

            table.insert(prefabs, v)

        end

    end

 

Precisely.

I assume nil isn't just a blank line -

No, nil is nil . You should replace the last line in your prefab file with

return MakePlayerCharacter("winfred", nil, assets, fn)

return MakePlayerCharacter("winfred", nil, assets, fn)

 

lol - ok -

I had just figured out something similar after reading line 162 and seeing that the error was rooted in prefabs

 

I added the line

local prefabs = {}

and then

local return MakePlayerCharacter("winfred", prefab, assets, fn)

And that seemed to work as well.

 

Thanks much to both of you!

Yeah, that does exactly the same thing. If you pass nil as the prefab table, it gets replaced with an empty table.
