According to JSONLint, it is either the comments (// "hair2cut"), or the trailing coma at the end of your hairColor array. "hairColor" : [ { "d9c189" : "dc1f00", "a38d59" : "be1b00", "735e3a" : "951500" }, { "d9c189" : "00bddc", "a38d59" : "00a3be", "735e3a" : "008095" }, { "d9c189" : "003ddc", "a38d59" : "0034be", "735e3a" : "002995" }, { "d9c189" : "dc9f00", "a38d59" : "be8a00", "735e3a" : "956c00" }, { "d9c189" : "dc00c8", "a38d59" : "be00ad", "735e3a" : "950087" }, { "d9c189" : "00dc14", "a38d59" : "00be12", "735e3a" : "00950e" }, { "d9c189" : "00dc94", "a38d59" : "00be81", "735e3a" : "009565" }, { "d9c189" : "dc0048", "a38d59" : "be003d", "735e3a" : "950030" }, { "d9c189" : "7a779b", "a38d59" : "62607c", "735e3a" : "333241" }, { "d9c189" : "f4f4f4", "a38d59" : "d6d6d6", "735e3a" : "adadad" }, ] }
Ah ha! Thank you! Though now im getting "Fatal exception caught: (StarException) An error occurred during loading: (JsonException) No such key in Json::get("portraitFrames")". I have checked the log, and checked files and other mods for the problem or missing files but there is nothing to be reaped. Any other help I could recieve? Thanks for being a huge help!
This error seems to be referring to the ai.config file. Around line 71 you will find something like: Code: "species" : { "apex" : { "aiFrames" : "apexAi.png", "portraitFrames" : "portraits/apexportrait.png", "staticFrames" : "staticApex.png", ... If you did not add an entry (using patching) for your race, it will error out when it goes to look for it. This is probably the SAIL AI used in the player's ship, so you will need to also add these portrait images and frames.
It might be easier to start with something like this in order to make your race work: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/race-base.3537/ It would hopefully contain all the files you would have to change to add your race to the game.
Its working all fine now! Thanks for everything! Now, if only I could get conveyor belts into my mod...
