copied player_common.lua: crash

[rolle]

Hi,

I want to change some things in prefabs/player_common.lua. So first I just copied the file from data/scripts/prefabs. However this makes the game crash hard after loading animations. I haven't touched anything. Anyone knows why?

Ops missed first line of log (edit posts??):

...ommon/dont_starve/data/scripts/components/sanity.lua:192: attempt to index local 'm' (a nil value)

[Minik435]

Can I have a look on line #192 at Sanity.lua?

Editing from 5th post.

He's trying to reference "m" which according to his error, does not exist.

 

I think you're missing something like this:

local m = inst.components.moisture

[DeathDisciple]

My guess is, you're using brute force override of game files, but you're using a base game file with a ROG setup/save. So basically m is null because your file does not know of moisture component, and ROG sanity component expects your player prefab to have moisture component.

 

The solution you're likely looking for is to use data/DLC0001/prefabs/player_common.lua instead of data/prefabs/player_common.lua

 

However that is a horrible idea, as this case has already proven that doing such things is breaking compatibility of your code with DLCs, not to mention other mods. You should really use mod api to perform whatever changes you want, if at all possible.

Thanks death, indeed this was the problem. I want to add a component to the player, but I guess there is a better way to do it. I will look at some samples.

Time for a good ol' flow of postinit awesomeness?
