[SOLVED] Comments inside game files makes patching impossible

As in title...
There are comments like this in game files (assets)
"// text goes here"
And comments like this are not tolerated by JSON (link1, link2).
I've wanted to add my deathclaw to spawn list for scorchedcity.biome but there is 1... but for eg in toxic .biome You can find 10 of these but even that one makes JSON gives You an error that goes like this
"[Error] Could not apply patch from source: C:\Gry\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\211820\736006992\contents.pak. Caused by: (JsonPatchException) Could not apply patch to base. (JsonPatchException) Could not apply operation to base. (TraversalException) No such key 'spawnProfile' in pathApply("/spawnProfile/groups/-")" (there is something like "spawProfile/groups" but JSON wasn't able to read that file completely)
I was only able to add my deathclaw to toxicoceanfloor and magmaoceanfloor biome which wasn't my target for "Fallout mod"
Than i thought about making vault suit and ran into another problem that's called "Comments are everywhere"... i thought about creating my own droppool for deathclaw and add vault suit to it but i found that inside monster.treasurepools there are 21 of these monster (comments that goes like this //text goes here) and in order to let us add new stuff to vanila biomes we have to be able to do that and by that i mean those comments have to be removed or just changed like they say link1.

why someone didn't removed that if its not used its just wasted space (part of toxic.biome file located assets/biomes/surface/<here>)
// ,
// {
// "mode" : "floor",
// "priority" : 1.0,
// "variants" : 1,
// "distribution" : "/biomes/distributions.config:denseLarge",

// "type" : "microdungeon",
// "microdungeons" : [ "toxicplains" ]
// }
If You are not going to change that give us a workaround or just tell us to create our own biomes/droppools/etc.

sure, here it comes (for all biomes it looks the same and as i said it works for toxicoceanfloor and magmaoceanfloor but for other isnt)
[
{"op":"add","path":"/spawnProfile/groups/-",
"value":{
"select" : 1,
"pool" : [
[ 0.05, "deathclaw" ]
]
}
}
]

 

im pretty much sure that its not gonna work besides it's not recommended
if You'll paste code from any biome file (that contain those comments) into this JSON validator it will give You and error form data side that says that it contains "Unexpected characters"
edit:
and my code for patching
but if You will remove those comments manually it'll work

 

first so whats that? (part of a toxicoceanfloor.biome file)

Code:

  "spawnProfile" : {
    "groups" : [
      {
        "select" : 8,
        "pool" : [
          [ 1, "smallFishOcean1" ],
          [ 1, "smallFishOcean2" ],
          [ 1, "passiveLargeFish" ],
          [ 1, "aggroLargeFish" ],
          [ 1, "poisonfishcritter" ],
          [ 1, "skellyfishcritter" ],
          [ 1, "pufferfishcritter" ],
          [ 1, "jellocritter" ]
        ]
      }
    ],
    "monsterParameters" : {
      "colors" : "toxic",
      "statusSettings" : {
        "stats" : {
          "poisonStatusImmunity" : {
            "baseValue" : 1.0
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },

and second and the most important i was only able to find my creatures in toxicoceanfloor biome (didnt traveled to magmaoceanfloor biomes yet)

 

umm, maybe just because they are in spawn pool doesn't mean they get spawned 100% of time?

 

when i was testing my creations i've set them to 1.0 spawn chance (in spawn types) and when i was patching it with select 1 with pool [1, deathclaw] which in radscorpion case was disaster cause there were only radscorpions and like 10 of them on a small island (as far as i can tell 1 means 100% chances of spawnning such crature (for that group) am i right?)

 

holy shi... Iris Blanche i had to skip or idk the magmaoceanfloor and You were right it was cause by magmaoceanfloor cuz it doesnt contain spawnProfile thx

 

Ok but at the end it was my mistake that i skipped magmaoceanfloor.biome file (somehow) and comments have nothing in common with that thx again

 

Comments are annoying, I agree. Whenever I need to patch into a vanilla file with commented out sections, I ctrl F // or /* and manually remove the commented out sections before selecting everything (Ctrl+A), copying it (Ctrl+C) to paste (Ctrl+V) it on the patch validator.
