[beta548219] Non-static LocString in ComplexFabricator causes translation crash

pether

By pether

    • Branch: Preview Branch Version: Windows Fixed

Localization.RegisterForTranslation() used for translations relies on LocString.CreateLocStringKeys() to find all LocString fields for translation.

CreateLocStringKeys() requires LocStrings to be static, when they are not, the game crashes with "TargetException: Non-static field requires a target" error.

Recently, beta branch added public LocString fields to ComplexFabricator for SideScreen text. Those are non-static and cause the above exception when something using ComplexFabricator class is subjected to translation attempt. The crashing issue does not appear on live branch, the fields are not there yet.

Moving new fields to STRINGS should resolve the issue

Thanks

(in the logs you will see that the crash is caused by mods. However, investigating the issue shows that the crash happens only when the mod tries to translate classes that inherit from ComplexFabricator)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to ComplexFabricator class

2. See that there are 2 public LocString fields

A developer has marked this issue as fixed. This means that the issue has been addressed in the current development build and will likely be in the next update.

A more flexible long term fix would be to filter the fields checked with reflection in CreateLocStringKeys to only include static fields, as other classes added by mods may want to use instance LocString values in the future.

Changed Status to Fixed

I've fixed the ComplexFabricator issue and added checks to skip non-static fields in both CreateLocStringKeys and MakeRuntimeLocStringTree. Thanks for the detailed report.
