How to find problem in mod?

[Serpens]

Hi,

I want to use the "More Actions" mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=447092740

It seems to work. But at the client_log are several messages:

I already changed the main modfile that way, that nothing in it is loaded. It only checks if an option from modinfo I added is active or not.(So I can deactivate the main modfile in modsettings)

So it looks like:

Spoiler

if GetModConfigData("active") == 1 then

    -- ... whole content

    -- ...

end

 

But the errors are still in the logfile. So I removed the whole "scripts" folder from the mod (although I don't think this could be the reason for the errors). At first try the error was gone. But because of the ****ty mod implementation of this game, it is not very clear, because after starting a new game without any mods active, the error was again in the client_log:

starting 2 times a new world AND game restart is needed...

in addition the "could not load" error did not appear when the mod was loaded, but after creating two times a new world without any mods active (but without restarting the game) the error happend... Why?! there is no mod loaded =(

So at the momemt I'm not really able to find out, what exactly this error causes, because of the game mod loading mechanics -.-

So is anyone here that know this kind of bug and is able to tell me why it happens and if it affects the game?

You mean these? This isn't caused by mods. Nothing you can do about it. It doesn't affect the game.

No clue why it happens though. Can't see what "log" and "mandrake" have in common.

Maybe it's caused by prefab dependencies?
I mean, for example, orange_leaves_chop prefab is defined in prefabs/fx.lua and used as dependency for deciduoustree prefab (defined in prefabs/deciduoustrees.lua). So when they are getting unloaded, the first prefab unloads orange_leaves_chop just fine, but the second prefab tries to unload already unloaded prefab and issues a message.

Maybe.

But then how come you only have 3 "meat" in there, while you have like 14 prefabs that have "meat" in dependencies?

I don't know what dependencies are used for, either. If I make a mod creature that drops the "mod_meat" prefab, then it only matters that I insert in PREFABFILES a filename of the file that defines the prefab. Including it on the dependencies table does nothing. If I don't include it in PREFABFILES but I put it in deps, then SpawnPrefab("mod_meat") returns a nil value.

 

It's definitely the dependencies.

I wrote

local _ctor = Prefab._ctor
Prefab._ctor = function(self, ...)
	_ctor(self, ...)
	local k = 0
	for i, v in ipairs(self.deps) do
		if v == "meat" then
			k = i
			break
		end
	end
	if k > 0 then
		table.remove(self.deps, k)
	end
end

and meat disappeared from the log.

okay, good to know that is not caused by a mod

Does this bug has notable impacts on the game? So should I implement the code from DarkXero into one of my used mods for every prefab?

 

edit: ah you alredy wrote that it does not affect the game. Great
