Error with mod's anim file

[Speedist]

Hi, I'm new to modding on don't starve, I recently made a character mod using the extended character template from this http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/46849-tutorial-using-extended-sample-character-template/ and followed every step. I'm planning to make the same mod compatible with DST but when I try to enable the mod and apply here's what i notice:

1. The modicon.tex isn't showing like it should even though I DID add one in the folder

2. I obviously find this error when applying the mod I enabled: http://gyazo.com/ef68dd485a4457fc210edbb4b480291a

 

I have absolutely no idea what this is referring to but its really upsetting to me that I cannot make a mod working and I feel like i wasted those 3 days of making the mod. I really hope someone can help me out with this, i'd be gladly appreciated.

@Speedist, 

can u just attach the screenshot or just post the error from your logfile(Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve\log.txt)?

does your modinfo.lua have something like this?

 

icon_atlas = "modicon.xml"icon = "modicon.tex"

does your mod also have the modicon.xml? Edited June 14, 2015 by Seiai

Good News : I chose the wrong mod. i have an exsisting workshop of the mod previously before i applyed the icon. the bad news... well that came up AGAIN. I saw this error when i got done making alternate voicelines for my friend's character, so i limited to one voice line per instance. and now not only will it reconginze the anim file it now won't accept one of the lines in the speech_winged.lua. what is this freaking airport secruity?. anyway yes i did find modicon.xml and modicon.tex in there. i was selecting the wrong mod. but anyway. i sitll have trouble with it working. uuughh. why do i feel that dont starve doesnt like me ;-;

@Speedist,

 

You didn't post any source files so I can't tell you exactly the problem, but that error pretty much tells you exactly what you need to know.

 

Brackets ( { and } ) define tables in Lua.  If you choose to define the table with some values included, you enter all of them, separating each with a comma, ex:  { value1, value2, value3 }

 

There is an opening bracket ( { ) on line 91 of your speech_winged.lua, but on line 93 the Lua interpreter is encountering a statement (which it can't execute because you are still defining a table within the brackets.)

 

There are generally two reasons you'll encounter this error:

 

You're missing a closing bracket:

table = { key = somevalue, key2 = somevalue, valuewithnokey      <-- missing a closing                                                                     brackettable2 = { value... }

Or, more likely in your case, there is a missing comma between values:

table = {     key = somevalue,     key2 = somevalue,     key3 = somevalue     <-- missing comma here    key4 = somevalue,    <-- comma is not needed on the LAST element in the list, but}                            it doesn't hurt to have one

  Yeah I know that part. But if you checked the file which ill have in as an attachment speech_winged.lua

@Speedist,

 

That file doesn't have a problem with it-- there is no way for it to produce the error you screenshotted.  I only just realized that this thread is for the same mod as this one: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/55295-game-crashes-on-startup-with-self-made-mod/ ... so I'm going to assume that that one has the most recent development state.

Yeah hes a friend of mine on steam, he had to go so i though i would get some help from other people while hes away. since I did send him my mod folder. ill look further in the post he made right now and ill reply again once im done

@Corrosive Yeah I made the mod's textures and followed the extended character template which SHould be updated so this doesnt happen to other players who use it. and i will say again i am the friend of cris6441 who posted i had trouble. because I DID. if it wasnt the fact that the tutorial i looked at wasnt outdated then i wouldnt have a problem with making the mod. but it ofc didnt have everything up-to-date.
