charracter mod with fishing rod

[Ray025]

I'm tryin to make a char that has a modded fishing rod (no durability) in his inventory as his perk. But somehow the game always crashes and unable to identify the start_inv. Can someone please help?

Post the Crash log and/or the mod itself, the People here may be able to spot the issue.

Here's a directory of where you can find the error:

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\client_log

Get that client log and post it here, not much to go by here.

I purchased the Don't Starve Together from Steam, and it seems I can't find the client_log

Have you defined start_inv at the beginning of the character prefab file? For example, the beginning of my character prefab looks like this

Spoiler

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"


local assets = {
    Asset("SCRIPT", "scripts/prefabs/player_common.lua"),
}
local prefabs = {
	"rainbowfeather",
}

-- Custom starting items
local start_inv = {
	"rainbowfeather",
}

 

But you would put "fishingrod" instead of "rainbowfeather"

[pickleplayer]

Might it have something to do with the log saying your item is in the "profabs" folder instead of "prefabs?"

   .../mods/Test(1)/scripts/profabs/test.lua(70,1)

   scripts/mainfunction.öua

But there are a lot of strange characters in that error report. I can't tell if it was maybe just a pasting formatting error, or if Wigfrid has been editing your file names.

I purchased it on steam as well, and I have a client log under C:\Users\pcname\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\client_log

error trackback points at: missing start_inv, undeclared variables, profabs? it should be prefabs or you'll get directory errors, and the last errors are just call backs saying something is wrong with function "fn" on test.lua at line 70 so I guess some sort of syntax error.

I already did. I'm afraid my moded fishingrod might cause the problem

[Ray025]

I have figured out the start_inv problem and also fixed it. But my moded fishingrod still has issues. Can someone please correct my fishinrod.lua so that my char can equip it?

local assets =
{
 Asset("ANIM", "anim/fishinrod.zip"),
 Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_fishinrod.zip"),
 Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/fishinrod.xml"),
 Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/fishinrod.tex"),
}

local function onequip (inst, owner)
 owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_fishinrod", "swap_fishinrod")
 owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("fishingline", "swap_fishinrod", "fishingline"
 owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("FX_fishing", "swap_fishinrod", "FX_fishing")
 owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")
 owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")
end

 

local function onunequip(inst, owner)
 owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")
 owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")
 owner.AnimState:ClearOverrideSymbol("fishingline")
 owner.AnimState:ClearOverrideSymbol("FX_fishing")
end

 

local function fn()
    local inst = CreateEntity()
    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()
 
    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)
 
    inst.AnimState:SetBank("fishinrod")--inst.AnimState:SetBank("fishinrod")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("fishinrod")--inst.AnimState:SetBuild("fishinrod")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
 
    inst.entity:SetPristine()
 
    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end
 
    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(TUNING.FISHINGROD_DAMAGE)
    inst.components.weapon.attackwear = 4
    -------
    inst:AddComponent("fishingrod")
    inst.components.fishingrod:SetWaitTimes(4, 40)
    inst.components.fishingrod:SetStrainTimes(0, 5)
    -------
    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")
    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "fishinrod"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/fishinrod.xml"
