Modding Help Problems with Custom Mod...

Due to some weird block on the site, I can't post my problem. I'm having problems with syntax, but CANNOT track it down. (I think)

Here's what I can post:

After tinkering around with the projectiles folder, I accidently killed the rest of the mod, and it crashes on startup.


Here's the error log:

Code:

You are using the string'd version of a float. Where at - it does not say... But considering the key is "Power" I would assume its a projectile. I'd start looking there.

To fix it you are looking for something like this:

Code:

"power" : "2.0"

Which you would need to change to:

Code:

"power" : 2.0

 

I've searched in projectiles folder as well as inside the basic .gun folder, and neither have any instances where it has "power" : "50"

It's all "power" : 50

 

Well its somewhere... just gotta keep on looking. You are checking your mod assets in your Mod folder though right?

 

right, but the error report says that its failing to convert the string in get "power".

So i would think i should be looking at stuff that says power. But I'll try anyways.[DOUBLEPOST=1414155968][/DOUBLEPOST]

I've looked through references, (looked at projectiles file and the files it has included) but i'm just really having trouble finding any numbers in quotes. I'll keep looking.

 

Exactly... You can see this for yourself in your the stack trace:

Code:

Error: Exception raised during Root finishInitialization: VariantException: Improper conversion to double from string in get("power")
float Variant::tget<float>(String, float)
Variant::getFloat(String, float)
ProjectileDatabase::readConfig(String)
ProjectileDatabase::load()
Root::reload()

ProjectileDatabase::readConfig shows that it is infact a projectile causing the issue... I wish the log told us which one. Only problem is that it could literally be anywhere. Worst case scenario you could move your mod out of the folder and see if it runs. If it does its somewhere within that folder. If it does not run, then the problem lies outside of your mod - to which case you can simply delete everything and reinstall the game as a quick fix rather than spending hours on end trying to find the "power" key.

If you have a program like Notepad++ you could open all the config files and do a "Find in all open files" search for the word "Power" and just read through and make sure there are no issues.
