[HELP!] My Custom Character mod won't work

[Legsvalentine]

Hello everybody~

 

    I've been working pretty much all day on my own mod but I can't seem to get the coding right. I've tried just about everything and watched 3 different tutorials but alas I think I'll need help to be able to finish it.

 

   I wasn't able to upload all the files but i do have .xml and .tex folders that have my character name instead of the placeholder and I haven't done anything to crazy to the prefab so I'm unsure what it is.

 

   I am able to load the mod into the game when I go to host a server (my saveslot portrait doesn't show up) then I start the game and I get the DST-ERROR screen posted below, and I don't quite understand what its telling me. (I'm not really a mod creator this is my first one)

 

  I'm relying no your help guys I'm kind of clueless! :c

 

 

  ~Thank you in advance,

I went into my mod.info and deleted the in icon_atlas."dora.xml" and the icon="dora.tex" because the log said they were invalid pathways.

 

I am still crashing with the same notification after fixing this. here are my new logs

Still having issues would really appreciate any help I can get!

--updated log.txt

-- i inserted the line;

"local require = GLOBAL.require
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS"

-- under my assests, but the log is saying theirs no pathway? not sure if this is my only issue though.

[00:00:47]: [string "../mods/Dora/scripts/prefabs/dora.lua"]:67: variable 'GLOBAL' is not declared

You don't use GLOBAL in files outside modmain.lua

You can reference the global table STRINGS as it is.

STRINGS.NAMES.DORA = "Dora"

STRINGS.NAMES.DORA = "Dora"

So in the dora.lua is should put in?

"   STRINGS.NAMES.DORA = "Dora"  " 

 

I don't have any gloabal strings in the dora.lua only in the modmain.lua

--these are the strings i have in the dora.lua

STRINGS.CHARACTER_TITLES.dora = "The Explorer"
STRINGS.CHARACTER_NAMES.dora = "Dora"
STRINGS.CHARACTER_DESCRIPTIONS.dora = "* Anything is possible when we work together!"
STRINGS.CHARACTER_QUOTES.dor = "\"Come on, vámonos. Everybody let's go!\""

STRINGS.CHARACTER_QUOTES.dor = "\"Come on, vámonos. Everybody let's go!\""

i just realized the quotes say .dor instead of .dora  would that cause the whole mod to crash though?

ok I think i fixed a few issues by reading over the logs and correcting some stuff. but now this confuses me. Its saying it can't find a match dora.anim file or something..

Sorry i'm not a modder this is my first time and I don't understand a lot of what its saying to me

Well, do you have that or not?

Where is your character art stored? In a Spriter project? Did you use the mod tools to compile it? Maybe it's not named dora.zip?

Just went through and i had the right stuff but it was directly in my anim folder and not in a zip folder in the anim folder. going through and fixing this and seeing what happens...

[Legsvalentine]

I think that fixed that issue. now its saying i don't have the silho.tex which i do i just spelled silho wrong.. lol lets see if that does it

[Legsvalentine]

alright she finally appeared on the character select screen and all looked good until i clicked her and shes just a bunch of blocks. uhg idk what im doing but i think maybe i should just start from scratch. thank you for the help~
