Modding Help celestial.config. help

I have no idea what this error is going on about. I am not some super experienced modder, however I have been able to fix all errors up to now. However, this one is more code issued.
I am adding some "op": "add" functions, however if I don't but them all into one block it gives me an error of "only one top-level array or object is allowed in a JSON document" So what do I do? I just put it all into one block, but now as the log states it's telling me I need a - " - where the bracket is.

Code:

As for the .patch file

Code:

{
  "op": "add",
  "path": "/terrestrialHorizonGraphics/chocolatebiome",
  "value": {
    "baseImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/textures/chocolatebiome_<selector>.png",
    "maskTextures": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/masks/temperate/<mask>_<selector>.png",
    "maskRange": [ 1, 25 ],
    "maskPerPlanetRange": [ 3, 3 ]
  },

  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/terrestrialGraphics/chocolatebiome",
    "value": {
      "baseImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/biomes/chocolatebiome/maskie<num>.png",
      "dynamicsImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/dynamics/temperate/<num>.png",
      "dynamicsRange": [ 1, 25 ]
    }
  },

  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/planetaryTypes/Tier2/baseParameters/terrestrialType/-",
    "value": "chocolatebiome"
  },

  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/satelliteTypes/Tier2/baseParameters/terrestrialType/-",
    "value": "chocolatebiome"
  }
}

 

It is a syntax error. Find a json validation site and check it.

 

Alright went to a few sites, and most of them are saying

Code:

Error: Parse error on line 9:
...ange": [3, 3]    },    {        "op": "add",        "
--------------------^
Expecting 'STRING', got '{

I might be blind, but I don't see an issue there. What do you make of it? They all are expecting strings where the brackets are.

 

After testing a bit, both chucks are valid, however they can't be separate because of the whole only one top item. However when I combine them like I did it still errors, which from what I read it is because it thinks it's still two parts. Read something about "wrapping" However, I have no idea how to put those two together in a valid way.

 

ok, 2 issues.

1. The opening and closing brackets of a patch file should be square brackets.
2. You are missing brackets. If you break your patch down to just the brackets, you can see it clearly.

Code:

{},{}},{},{}}

Here is what it should look.

Code:

[
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/terrestrialHorizonGraphics/chocolatebiome",
        "value": {
            "baseImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/textures/chocolatebiome_<selector>.png",
            "maskTextures": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/masks/temperate/<mask>_<selector>.png",
            "maskRange": [1, 25],
            "maskPerPlanetRange": [3, 3]
        }
    }, 
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/terrestrialGraphics/chocolatebiome",
        "value": {
            "baseImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/biomes/chocolatebiome/maskie<num>.png",
            "dynamicsImages": "/celestial/system/terrestrial/dynamics/temperate/<num>.png",
            "dynamicsRange": [1, 25]
        }
    },
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/planetaryTypes/Tier2/baseParameters/terrestrialType/-",
        "value": "chocolatebiome"
    },
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/satelliteTypes/Tier2/baseParameters/terrestrialType/-",
        "value": "chocolatebiome"
    }
]

 

*edit* that's what I get for not refreshing, I did it the exact way you did, however I learned from it. So glad either way.
Got it fixed, after some methods.
Thanks @lazarus78 You were of course right like usual! syntax is a deadly foe, one issue and it all crumbles.
Just in case anyone wants to see how I did it.

Code:

[

  {"op" : "add",
  "path" : "/terrestrialHorizonGraphics/chocolatebiome",
  "value" :
  {
      "baseImages" : "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/textures/chocolatebiome_<selector>.png",
      "maskTextures" : "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/masks/chocolatebiome/<mask>_<selector>.png",
      "maskRange" : [1, 25],
      "maskPerPlanetRange" : [3, 3]
  }},
  {"op" : "add",
  "path" : "/terrestrialHorizonGraphics/chocolatebiom",
  "value" :
  {
      "baseImages" : "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/textures/chocolatebiom_<selector>.png",
      "maskTextures" : "/celestial/system/terrestrial/horizon/masks/chocolatebiom/<mask>_<selector>.png",
      "maskRange" : [1, 25],
      "maskPerPlanetRange" : [3, 3]
  }}
