Custom Speech Either Causes Mod To Crash or Game To Freeze

[Kingnuclearo]

This is the error that comes up if the line
 

GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WADE = require "speech_wade"

 
 is placed into the modmain.lua (which I've attached to this post)
 

 

...pps/common/dont_starve/data/../mods/wade/modmain.lua:36: attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)LUA ERROR stack traceback:        F:/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/../mods/wade/modmain.lua(36,1) in main chunk        =[C] in function 'xpcall'        F:/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/util.lua(439,1) in function 'RunInEnvironment'        F:/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/mods.lua(190,1) in function 'InitializeModMain'        F:/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/mods.lua(171,1) in function 'LoadMods'        scripts/main.lua(229,1) in function 'ModSafeStartup'

 

 
If that aforementioned line of code is placed into the wade.lua file in my prefabs, the game simply freezes on launch or mod activation. I would love some help here as I have yet to find a solution that has worked for this.

modmain.lua

Upon further review. It wasn't the .lua file. Rather it was an error in the speech file that caused the issue.

Welp now who plays the fool?

Put this at the top of the file.

require = GLOBAL.require

modmain has limits on how it can access global variables.

Thank you! I added that and it's working fine now. I appreciate it!
