Black or messed up screen when joining a host

[SenL]

Host is "webweb" and I'm joining his server as mychar (my mod).

Screen is black. 3 times (disconnect->rejoin). Then messed up screen 2 times (see screenshot attached).

I can't find anything wrong in the log... (searched for "error").

What's going on my my char mod...

 

Note that if host is mychar also then everything is normal.

[SenL]

Also when both host and client are mychar, sometimes the client is unable to craft anything (it would consume ingredients but then nothing happens).

Weird bugs start happening...

Edit:

Client disconnected and relogged and the item is already there, ready to be placed (it's science machine).

Weird!

@SenL, Looks like recipe tables on the client and host being different, causing cascading bugs with player_classified. If you're specifying any recipes inside your character's prefab, you can't do that in DST anymore without causing stuff like this.

[SenL]

Yes I have some recipes inside mychar.lua under common_postinit.

How should we do recipes now?

[rezecib]

@SenL, Look at DST RoG Characters. It has to be in the modmain, and you have to modify some other stuff to get it to be character-specific.

Thanks. Ok, I looked at your wathgrithr and webber in that mod (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=356833566&searchtext=RoG) then I modified mine. It crashes when I scroll down my "war" (fight) recipe tabs.

 

log:

[00:53:01]: WARNING! Could not find region 'OUTOFSPACE' from atlas 'images/inventoryimages.xml'. Is the region specified in the atlas?

[00:53:01]: Looking for default texture '(null)' from atlas 'images/inventoryimages.xml'.

[00:53:01]: images/inventoryimages.xml

LUA ERROR stack traceback:

        scripts/widgets/image.lua(30,1) in function 'SetTexture'

        scripts/widgets/recipetile.lua(25,1) in function 'SetRecipe'

 

I don't even have "images/inventoryimages.xml" mentioned anywhere.

 

my modmain.lua:

...

if not GLOBAL.TheNet:IsDedicated() then

  local OldIsRecipeValid = GLOBAL.IsRecipeValid

  local function IsRecipeValid(recipe)

    return OldIsRecipeValid(recipe) and

      ((GLOBAL.ThePlayer and GLOBAL.ThePlayer:HasTag(recipe.name.."_builder")) or not recipe.tagneeded)

  end

  GLOBAL.IsRecipeValid = IsRecipeValid

end

 

local Recipe = GLOBAL.Recipe

local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS

local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH

 

local recipes =

{

  Recipe("myitem", {Ingredient( ... ), RECIPETABS.TOOLS, {SCIENCE=1}),

}

...

 

Inside mychar.lua, under master_postinit:

 

...

inst:AddTag("myitem_builder")

...

 

I had to comment out below (in mychar.lua under common_postinit)

 

...

local myitem_recipe = Recipe("myitem", {Ingredient ... }, RECIPETABS.TOOLS, {SCIENCE=1})

myitem_recipe.atlas = resolvefilepath("images/inventoryimages/myitem.xml")

...

 

I still have these in my myitem.lua:

 

...

inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "myitem"

inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/myitem.xml"

...

I don't even have "images/inventoryimages.xml" mentioned anywhere.

 From your description, it's crashing when it tries to load the recipe tile for your recipe. It also uses inventoryimages for the crafting tile (you can look in inventoryimages.tex and you'll see campfires and such, which are not actually inventory items). So you need to be setting the recipe's atlas as well. You can probably do something like this if your xmls are all named accordingly:

local recipes = {	Recipe("myitem1", {...}, RECIPETABS.TOWN, TECH.NONE),	Recipe("myitem2", {...}, RECIPETABS.WAR, {SCIENCE = 0, MAGIC = 0, ANCIENT = 0}, nil, nil, nil, nil, true),	Recipe("myitem3", {...}, RECIPETABS.WAR, {SCIENCE = 0, MAGIC = 0, ANCIENT = 0}, nil, nil, nil, nil, true),}for k,v in pairs(recipes) do	v.tagneeded = true	v.atlas = "images/inventoryimages/"..v.name..".xml"end

In this case, it works on the assumption that your xmls are named "myitem1.xml", "myitem2.xml", etc.

[SenL]

No more crashes, but it doesn't show in recipe tab either, haha.

Is it something with "IsRecipeValid"?

 

Mychar already has tag "myitem_builder"

 

Edit:

I changed tagneeded=false and now it shows up.

So something with below doesn't click

 

((GLOBAL.ThePlayer and GLOBAL.ThePlayer:HasTag(recipe.name.."_builder"))

The good news is now the screen is normal when I join as mychar (as client) to a host that is not mychar.

Haven't tested thoroughly (only 1 minute since I gotta go) for crashes though - tomorrow will test more.

I do still need help on that tagneeded=true -> not showing up in recipe tabs.

 

Thanks rezecib!

I do still need help on that tagneeded=true -> not showing up in recipe tabs.

 Setting tagneeded = true will make it not show up in the recipe tabs unless the character has the "recipe_builder" tag (e.g. "spidereggsack_builder" to be able to see the spider egg recipe).

[SenL]

But I already have it, in the master_postinit:

 

inst:AddTag("myitem_builder")

[SenL]

I moved the "_builder" line up (all the way up, but still inside master_postinit) and restarted (deleted and recreated server room) and it works now.

 

Hm. Weird, but now it's all fixed.

 

Thanks!!

 

Edit:

 

Ok I forgot that I still have the tagneeded=false.

Will flip it to true and retest later in the afternoon.
