[mikey99222 6]

Orphaned unnamed resource. This resource must have used Add( resource ) to insert itself into the manager. 

 

repeatedly, any ideas, help much appreciated!

@mikey99222, this has nothing to do with those warnings. The error I see is "[string "../mods/michaelwand/scripts/prefabs/wand.lua"]:50: '<eof>' expected near 'STRINGS'".

Something in wand.lua at line 50 isn't right. You may have made a syntax error at this line.

i have this there

 

49:return  Prefab("common/inventory/wand", fn, assets, prefabs)

50:STRINGS.NAMES.WAND = "Michael's lightning sword"

51:STRINGS.CHARACTERS.MICHAEL.DESCRIBE.WAND = "kinex, are you sure this is safe?"

52:STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.WAND= "Michael must be a genius!"

 

Thank you for fast reply

@mikey99222, those lines are under a return! After a return, none of the code under it will be interpreted. That's why you get that error, because nothing should be there. Just put them above the return.

@mikey99222, In certain cases, particularly with assets (images/animations), the game will crash without giving an error message in the log. Without special knowledge, your best bet is to comment out code or temporarily replace it with code from the most analogous parts of the game (e.g. the game's spear file) to see exactly what is causing the problem.

@mikey99222, you should probably post your actual code if you want the most help you can get. Without any code posted most modders are unable to help you to the maximum of their ability. Post your entire mod so that we are able to use it and see exactly what the cause of the issue is, rather than simply guessing at it.

@mikey99222, try moving this line:

Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/wand.xml" ),

 

 

Into your prefab file instead of having it in the modmain.lua file.

 

Also add this line to import the .tex file as an asset. This goes in your prefab file as well.

Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/wand.tex"),

 

Also add these lines to your prefab file under the inventoryitem component to see if it will help.

 

inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/wand.xml"

    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "wand"

 

 

After making these changes, test it again and see if it still displays issues.

@mikey99222, Okay remove the Assets code from your modmain, you don't need it there. Those go in your prefab file. The error is indicating that your not setting the correct inventory image.

 

WARNING! Could not find region 'wand.tex' from atlas 'images/inventoryimages.xml'. Is the region specified in the atlas?

 

This indicates that your region area in your wand.tex and wand.xml file are not correct. You should recreate the wand.tex and wand.xml file and make it look like the following if you want it for inventory item.

after i uploaded this i recreated the TEX file, same error.

 

The issue still lies in the fact that the game cannot find the region specified in the .xml file.

 

WARNING! Could not find region 'wand.tex' from atlas 'images/inventoryimages.xml'. Is the region specified in the atlas?

 

This means that you're .tex file is inaccurately sized or your .xml is not pointing to the proper region where the image is located. Use the zip file I provided to create an exact replica for placement of your item. Once that is completed copy the .xml I provided and change the name inside of it to suit your .tex file and remember to rename your .xml file to the same as your .tex file. If you create an exact replica you should have it working.

I made a replica... in the region, however even after renaming it all and the dug_reeds in the atlas, it did not work...
