Addbone Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 This is my first time trying to create/mess with a mod and ive been having some trouble. I have all the code written but when i try to load it in game it brings me to a screen saying "/mods/Dark PickAxe/modmain.lua:1: unexpected symbol near 'ï'" and it has failed to load and has been disabled. This is the modmain coding:PrefabFiles = {"dark_pickaxe",} Assets = {Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/dark_pickaxe.xml"),} STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGSRECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABSRecipe = GLOBAL.RecipeTECH = GLOBAL.TECHIngredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient -- GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.DARK_PICKAXE = "Dark Pick/Axe"STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.DARK_PICKAXE = "Dream Tool." GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "It's a dream come true!" GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WILLOW.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "It's like my dreams can now help me work!" GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WOLFGANG.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "Is half-real." GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WENDY.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "It does not exist." GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WX78.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "A TOOL TO HACK BOTH ROCK AND TREE" GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WICKERBOTTOM.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "A bifunctional and transdimensional tool." GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WOODIE.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "It's... it's just a dream." GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WAXWELL.DESCRIBE.DARK_PICKAXE = "My style of tool." end local dark_pickaxe = GLOBAL.Recipe("dark_pickaxe",{Ingredient("axe", 1),Ingredient("pickaxe", 1),Ingredient("nightmarefuel", 4)}, RECIPETABS.MAGIC, TECH.SCIENCE_TWO) dark_pickaxe.atlas = "images/inventoryimages/dark_pickaxe.xml" ive also attached the game log to help log.txt i believe you may find the problem at the bottom of the log but i honestly wouldnt know where to look Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48895-help-i-cant-get-my-mod-to-load-in-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotatoTips Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 modmain.lua line 1. try looking there. it says unexpected symbol near ï. so you need to open your modmain, ctrl + f, and find that symbol and look over the code there. also additional equipment mod needs its api changed to 5 for some reason.

Blueberrys Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Hmm. The code you pasted does not contain the problematic symbol, have you been using a rich text editor to code this? That could be the problem. If you don't have any programming-oriented editor, use Notepad (or a simple equivalent), other editors may add hidden symbols to to original file, but don't display them. Edit: also additional equipment mod needs its api changed to 5 for some reason That may be because his game needs updating?api_version for AdditionalEquipment is in the future, please set to the current version. (api_version is version 6, game is version 5.)

(api_version is version 6, game is version 5.)That actually seemed to be the problem! I wrote it up in notepad and got it load in, so i started up a new world and it now crashes right before the first cut scene with maxwell.

Blueberrys Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) @Addbone, something is wrong with your prefabs recipe ingredients. Are you sure you added them?I came across a sample mod which shows how to do it quite clearly.. but I can't seem to find it now.(Seriously bugging me now. If anyone finds it, please let me know) The portion where it's getting stuck (line 351 in builder.lua) (may be line 347 on yours, for some reason):for ik, iv in pairs(recipe.ingredients) doIt couldn't find the "ingredients" child of your "recipe" (it was nil) Edited January 11, 2015 by Blueberrys Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48895-help-i-cant-get-my-mod-to-load-in-game/#findComment-600174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberrys Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 @Addbone, hmm. I think you misplaced a bracket. Try this:local dark_pickaxe = GLOBAL.Recipe("dark_pickaxe",{Ingredient("pickaxe", 1),Ingredient("axe", 1),Ingredient("nightmarefuel", 4),},RECIPETABS.MAGIC, TECH.MAGIC_THREE) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48895-help-i-cant-get-my-mod-to-load-in-game/#findComment-600194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
