Broke everything while making mod - Please help me

[Sketchiverse]

Hello...

 

So I was working on my first mod (character mod), taking care of adding a custom recipe... also did a few additions like the incomplete modinfo.lua... a few lines here and there... Added the "Always on Status" mod fix function since every mod character has it, didn't really care...

Also I had started using the ForceEnableMod function in modsettings.lua for a few tries. I know the comment in the file said not to do it, but I used it to force enable a lot of practical mods, like No Warning, Moar Save Slots, Up&Away etc, and of course my own mod.

 

Suddenly when I start the game again, the title screen appears, with the Up&Away screen activated, but there's no music and you cannot click anything. The game responds, though, even the guy on the Up&Away title screen still has his animation working. But I can't click anything and I'm forced to Alt+f4 out. No error screen or "no respond" message.

 

I tried a few things, removed all ForceEnable lines, and I noticed that everything works fine, until I activate my mod. Whether I do it from the mod screen or by force enabling it, it gives me that frozen title screen. When I go to the mod screen to activate it, it just says that this mod crashed last time.

 

I removed EVERY line from my mod that I wasn't 100% sure worked perfectly. I even removed entire prefab files, the one for the new item, the modinfo.lua file and even a ton of lines here and there that usually worked fine. But even without those, it still freezes the title screen, I broke everything.

 

Can someone help me ? Is there someone that had my problem before ? I'm panicking, I've been working on this mod for a month already... If it never comes out then I really won't be happy.

 

 

 

I can provide the mod folder if anyone wants to look, but since I commented a ton of lines and left the crucial ones, you might not be sure of what is causing the problem.

 

 

A few pieces of info about the development:

- I've had a lot of different types of crashes so far with my mod, but this is the first time I get this one.

- I tried disabling almost all other mods. Except moar save slots, without this one I can't test my character, my five normal slots are taken.

- before the first crash happened, I was working on a scepter item. I didn't make its anim/build yet, I was testing if this could work first. I was using the walking cane's build instead.

- I couldn't add my variables to tuning.lua, so I added them as global ones in modmain.lua instead...

- this character has perks related to followers. There are lua files for the pigman mobs etc. Those worked usually.

- ask anything.

Oh, by the way, it's not always the Up&Away title screen that freezes, it depends whether I activate it or not. The same thing happens with the regular Don't Starve screen, so the crash is probably not (only) related to Up&Away. Rather to my own mod, in my opinion.

 

Sorry for double posting, didn't see the edit feature.

Oh...

...

It was a missing "," in my character's speech file.

The speech file. Of all places, of all mistakes... It was this.

 

I completely forgot about the existence of the log file (especially since it's not in the steam folder), I'm so stupid. I'm really sorry. I'll use it all the time from now on, thank you so much. It's working now and all... Truly sorry for wasting your time...

 

Thank you, have a great day.

 

(That log file is just amazing by the way.)
