BlueberryMuffinMassacre Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Before I begin, I am very new to coding, and also to this forum. If I make this in the wrong location, I apologize. I've recently started creating a custom character in Don't Starve, and have run into a small snag. I cannot get the custom dialogue to appear ingame. I've been using several other mods for reference, and while the game no longer crashes and functions ingame, the dialogue is Wilson's default text. I've tried repeatedly to get it to register, but either it will continue to use Wilson's dialogue or crash the game. I'll post the small bit of code below. I'm new to code and any help is appreciated. This is a snippet from inside the Prefab folder.STRINGS.CHARACTER_TITLES.sml = "The Grinning Demon"STRINGS.CHARACTER_NAMES.sml = "Mr. Smiles"STRINGS.CHARACTER_DESCRIPTIONS.sml = "*A well-dressed Demon from beyond \n*Hated by all things living \n*Strong, Durable, Hungry"STRINGS.CHARACTER_QUOTES.sml = "\"You seem...Edible\""STRINGS.CHARACTERS.SMILES = require "speech_smiles" Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/41997-custom-character-dialogue-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberryMuffinMassacre Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 My apologies, I forgot to specify. speech_smiles.lua is located in the scripts folder, outside of the Prefab folder.

BlueberryMuffinMassacre Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thank you for the replies. I have tried both suggestions, but changing the strings to global.strings caused the mod to crash shortly after it was enabled. It did the same thing when I tried the Strings = global.strings. It is worth mentioning that this time around it did not give the "Mod Crashed" message from before, but instead showed the "Mod Enabled" screen before the game went unresponsive. Because It did not give the message, I cannot tell where the error is originating from in the code. Is there a crash log somewhere where I can see what happened/post here for suggestions? I, again, apologize for my inexperience, any help is welcome.

BlueberryMuffinMassacre Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Anyone? I'm kinda stumped on this one. Might as well give this a bump.

Eidolon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am also having the exact same problem. If I figure it out somehow I'll let you know.

Eidolon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sorry for the double post.I can't edit the other one for some reason... Anyways, I'm a goof ball. I was editing the speech file that was in my 'working on' folder and I forgot to update the speech file within the SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\dont_starve\mods\<mod name>\scripts folder. But since it works, this is what I have in my modmain.luaSTRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGSI put that in the first line of my modmain.lua then you can putSTRINGS.CHARACTERS.SMILES = require "speech_smiles"in your smiles.lua file found in your SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\dont_starve\mods\<mod name>\scripts\prefabs folder I know i'm just repeating what others have said but maybe you're like me; editing a different copy than what's in the game's mod folder. I really hope this helped! Oh and your log.txt is in Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve folder.

PadreSnowmizzle Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 This is an old thread, I know this. If there is anyone, I'm having the exact same trouble this guy is having. If anyone has a video tutorial on how to do this, please let me know. I'm a very visual person, and so far this thread has helped me in the slightest.
