Need help with mods code

[Alpacas]

I've been working on a mod for a custom character of Wirt from Over the Garden Wall but cant find the problem in the code that keeps making it crash. I got him to work without his hat but when I added the hat I just cant fix it. The hat uses the top hat as a template. 

 

This is the error log

"...am/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/../mods/wit/scripts/prefabs/wit.lua:61: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 41) near '<eof>'"

Check between line 41-61, you're missing an "end" somewhere.

[Alpacas]

I added some ends but I no nadda about coding and it didnt work

 

This is the code starting at 41 in the wit.lua

local fn = function(inst)	local start_inv ={    "hat_wit",} local fn = function(inst) 	-- choose which sounds this character will play	inst.soundsname = "wilson"	-- a minimap icon must be specified	inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "wilson.png" )	-- todo: Add an example special power here.return MakePlayerCharacter("wit", prefabs, assets, fn, start_inv )end

I attached the file of the mod if that'd help

 

wit.zip

Thank you for helping btw. I really appreciate it

move that "return" stuff down to the very bottom

move that "return" stuff down to the very bottom

Done. Still crashes. Error log seems mostly the same

Done. Still crashes. Error log seems mostly the same

remove the first line, it's a duplicate from the one below it seems.

@Alpacas

 

Fixed

[Alpacas]

@mobbstar I think that fixed that problem since the log is different now (still crashed though)

@blueberrys I have the same thing now but I'm still getting crashes

In your modmain there's a spare set of swirly brackets

 

{
   
}
}

 

remove the spare

@mobbstar

Worked till I launched a game log says 

..\source\animlib\animmanager.cpp(401) :: Tried to add build [hat_top] from file [anim/hat_top.zip] but we've already added a build with that name!

I assume I have to change the build of the hat? What should I change it to. That hat uses the top hat as a template.

[Alpacas]

 inst.AnimState:SetBank("tophat")

    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("hat_wit")

    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("anim")

 

 

 

[Alpacas]

I realized I didnt use the build renamer and thats what it was talking about. I renamed the build.bin file and got in the game without crashing but got this error message

 

[Alpacas]

Changed some things with comparing it to another mod and now i have this error instead

[Alpacas]

I got it to work. This is how he looks rn (gotta change some things still since the hat doesn't look right)

 

Thanks for your help!
