Unexpected symbol

[Car4057]

The mod I created is crashing, the client_log file says

"  [string "../mods/Benim Mod/modinfo.lua"]:1: unexpected symbol near 'ï' "

 

What does that mean? How can I solve this issue? I already searched some files if there is that ï symbol but sadly no luck about that.

Well uploading the modinfo.lua file would help a bit more than trying to guess the problem but ill guess. From the error it sounds like the string for a line was broken in syntax at the first or next line (that isn't a note) after the first line. So the error would look like this:

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

instead of:

icon_atlas = "modicon.xml" --the right way
icon = "modicon.tex"

but that just the example.

Here is the modinfo.lua file

 

name = "Benim Mod"
description = "Mod"
author = "NAVY"
version = "1.103"
api_version = 10
dont_starve_compatible = false
reign_of_giants_compatible = false
dst_compatible = true
restart_required = false
icon = "modiconicebox.tex"
icon_atlas = "modiconicebox.xml"
forumthread = ""

I just use the icebox mod icon for placeholder as I'm the only one using the tweaks I made. Other than that idk what's wrong.

I'm not seeing any syntax errors from what you posted (besides that idk what restart_required line), and according to the api version that's don't starve together. Are you trying to convert it to don't starve? Or are you posting in the wrong forums section?

[Car4057]

I'm not trying to convert or anything at all, it's a DST mod and want to leave it that way.

If you're working on a DST mod, then you might want to ask for help over here >> DST Mods and Tools
As this is the forum section for the single-player version.

[K1NGT1GER609]

K, well the next step is to upload your mod to zip file and maybe I (or another modder) can see what the real problem is, otherwise I'm stabbing in the dark. If I can't solve it then its advised to ask in the link that bravechicken posted, as the single player coding is different (even some cases a huge difference) from multiplayer.

Can you upload your entire log please?

[Car4057]

Here it is. Should I make another thread on DST section. I didn't realize I made this thread on single player section. It was supposed to be a very simple tweak for me but oh well.

client_log.txt

modmain.lua

Yeah...its probably good to make a thread on the DST section, as for what you gave me the game is mainly complaining that a lot of variables are undeclared or arithmetic errors but nothing about this 'ï' error. This modmain is missing a lot of basic referencing and "starting code" for a lack of better words like "local TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING" or "local multiplayer_armor_durability_modifier = 1" and such. While you make a thread on the DST forums read this link (https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/73967-how-to-ask-help-for-modding-include-tutorials/) as modders don't like to keep guessing what your trying to do (and neither do computer science majors). So be as detailed as you possible can, as for me I can't see what your doing as the modmain has multiple references and will require a lot of different starting code, as it is it wont run at all.

I understand, I'll check it out there. Thank you for explaining.
