I crash upon trying to load older mods and when I check the log file, I don't really understand where the problem is and certainly don't know how I would fix it. I get an error relating to movement parameters for one mod, and I forgot the others. I'll try the others later for the error log. (I know there are multiple log files, but I don't feel like going through them. I'll just start the game again with 1 mod at a time.) Note: I know very little about modding in general, but I learn quickly, so any help is greatly appreciated and maybe I can update some mods within next few days. I just need to know what parts to change and how. (I'm fairly certain it's just the script structure or something like that) I will look into scripting now or soon and come back to this. Thanks to all who assist me or try to~ (This should probably be mentioned: Some mods I want to update to work with the current version are NSFW/Adult-oriented. Though the worst that would be show in this thread would be text. I will not post any images to show they worked :\ The reason I even care to play with them is out of boredom really. It's kinda funny anyone even bothered to make the mods xD) Okay, so here's the log file for SkArmor: http://pastebin.com/teymSTLp This is the specific error: "Fatal Exception caught: (StarException) An error occurred during loading: (ItemException) Duplicate item name 'humantier1head' found" Hopefully only requires minor editing. (The SkArmor mod was last updated march of 2015 I think, so it's not that old, but I still wanna fix it for myself and upload later if the original author does not return. I think it's okay to do that if I can't contact him/her.) Here's the log for Hox Metroid Armor Pack: http://pastebin.com/J5juY2Ez Note: I also had Xbawks and Viera mods installed, and Viera had a patch error, but it runs fine so far. The specific error for Hox Metroid Armor: Error: Exception raised during Root finishLoad: (MapException) Key 'visibleRect' not found in Map::get()
For future reference There is an edit button on the bottom of the the post, so you don't need to make a new thread or double post. If by chance you make 2 threads by accident, press the Report Abuse button to inform a moderator to delete the thread. For Modding you can get the basics down with my eBook http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/unofficial-modding-ebook.2930/ It should contain a section also explaining how to interpret the starbound.log in the end. Starbound.log is a sequential log. So; starbound.log = the log of the current game session. starbound.log01 = the previous game session starbound.log02 = 2 game sessions ago etc. For your errors Duplicate Item - means there are 2 items with the same name. VisibleRec not found in map get - generally means the defining parameters - could be anything from collision box to visible rectangle is either missing or not valid. For some Basic Modding Guidelines The old mods may use the _merge system - which is no longer used. Hence the entire mod has to be remade in the .patch system. Maintaining the directory structure of the mod is important. If it is not the same as vanllia ( and you are editing a vanillia file ) you will get duplicate errors. As for updating old mods - you can do so for personal use. But you can only release updated versions if the Author has given permission to do so; http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/resurrecting-abandoned-mods.93099/
