Modding Help Stuck on Loading Screen

Hi, I've tried to install various mods with little luck. The first I downloaded was the Matter Manipulator Plus mod, then I edited the player.config so I would not lose pixels upon dying. Then I edited the amount of pixels needed for a refinery. Starbound worked after that. But when I tried to install the Dark Souls Armor mod, it stopped working and won't move past the loading screen. I've verified the game cache and re-installed multiple times to no avail. One of which was on my computer rather than my External hard drive. The game worked, but my character was not there. I've tried to uninstall each mod, but nothing has helped. Any insight would be awesome.

 

upload the starbound.txt from your common/starbound folder please, should give us some idea.

 

It's not letting me upload a .txt file.

 

Make a zip file, Right Mouse: Move to > Compressed Zip File.

 

Ah..... Sorry... Hope that works

 

Code:

Error: Exception caught in Thread Async root loader: StarException: Duplicate projectile asset typeName DaS_largeswoosh. configfile /monsters/mods/mod_artoriasgear/items/projectiles/swoosh/broadsword/largeswoosh/das_largeswoosh.projectile

This is what halts it from loading, try removing this .projectile or change it's name and then also change the projectile of any broadsword in the mod.

It's doing so because there is a projectile with the same name.

Edit: Further checking states that one copy of the swoosh is located in : /monsters/mods/mod_artoriasgear/items/projectiles/swoosh/broadsword/largeswoosh/DaS_largeswoosh.projectile

and one in : /mods/mod_artoriasgear/items/projectiles/swoosh/broadsword/largeswoosh/das_largeswoosh.projectile to /mods/mod_artoriasgear/items/projectiles/swoosh/broadsword/largeswoosh/DaS_largeswoosh.projectile

I'm not sure why and how you got to find this out yourself.

 

I'm sorry to ask, but would you be able to make the changes, then reupload? I'm not very savvy with this kind of stuff.

 

yeah sure, just upload mod_artoriasgear, also can you send me a picture of your monsters folder ? either starbound/monsters or assets/monsters. just make a printscreen

 

Here

 

May I ask you why there is a mods folder inside your monster folder?

I see you're not using bootstrap.config to install your mods, please read this: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/the-proper-way-to-install-mods.41929/ and try to apply this to the mods you've got atm.

If you really don't understand this, I can help you out quite easily if you supply me with a list of links of the mods you've got installed but you should really try to understand this yourself..

 

I probably just accidentally dropped it in that folder, while just trying to move it into the assets folder. I understand the link you sent (and thank you for it), but I have one question. For every mod do you need to retype "assetsources", then "../assets" then the mod? Or do you just need to repeat the "../mods/blahblahblah ? Sorry if that is not very clear

 

sorry, I forgot to click "reply"

 

sorry, but you there?

 

Hmm seems like they've released the update that makes mod installation quicker, got to look into it.

 

Hey man, i'm working on a private mod for my friends and i and i'm having the same problem as this guy, game hang on the Loading Screen and won't get past this point.
Think you could give me an hand ? You seem to know a lot about these stuffs
