Alpha 9 Modder Stuff

[Kirid]

I can't figure out what to title my images when using Graphic_StackCount.
like bed_front, bed_back, bed_side

I guess a spoiler... <graphicPath>Things/Item/Drug/Sake</graphicPath>
Sake, Sake_single, Sake_Stack, Sake_multiple, Sake_s, Sake_m.. Tried several more but none seem to work

[skullywag]

Its sake_a and sake_b

I am having issues with textures for some reason i place it as i have always done and i get the pink squares

[skullywag]

Please add the errors you see in the console. Turn dev mode on in the options.

sorry i messed up i did not use the right class file which i needed to change to single i was just a fool

I've been updating my Half-Rim mod, but for some reason this pops up in the console (i removed the non-important stuff):

The strange thing is that i DID change "baseCooldownTicks" to "RangedWeapon_Cooldown", and the search results for "baseCooldownTicks" were null, none of my .xml contain the word "baseCooldownTicks", what is going on? Anyone help?
I tried making a test mod, only having the weapon defs, and i got no errors, so i don't know what is wrong...
I wonder what the "warmupTicks" and "ItemFromXmlFile" errors mean, i've checked the Core files and it seems to all be correct...

[skullywag]

Malformed xml im betting. Upload what you have and ill have a look. Might be worth redownloading core just as a sanity check.

[SlimeCrusher]

Nevermind, forgot to check my races definition
I found out when i spawned a snark to battle against a bullsquid and... 0s cooldown of melee attack lol.

[skullywag]

ok so hediffs and diseases and immunities have all changed, be prepared all who venture forth....good lord!

These are used in turrets as well, you might need to check those if you have any.

EDIT: Managed to recreate this with a test mod. Has something to do with the Stuffsystem...

EDIT2: I found the cause and solution:
Apparently the game requires new weapons to use the stuff system, or at least have the <stuffCategories> tag even if you don't want the weapons using it...

Well, I'm stumped.

I've got this occurring with my Right Tool For The Job mod when a world is generated. My mod doesn't even touch world gen, yet somehow breaks it anyway.

This is the error being received upon generating a world:

[skullywag]

its trying to generate a pawn carrying your "weapons" it seems.

[Kirid]

Its sake_a and sake_b

I might be doing something wrong, but that doesn't seem to work.

Hmm... I'm struggling with an error I can't resolve myself:

Code Select Expand


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Verse.BodyPartRecord.ToString () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Verse.CrossRefLoader+WantedRefForObject.TryResolve (FailMode failReportMode) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

  at Verse.PlayDataLoader.LoadAllPlayData () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at Verse.Root.Start () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

The problem is this code in BodyPartRecord:

Code Select Expand


public override string ToString()
{
  return string.Concat( new object[] { "BodyPartRecord(", this.def.defName, " parts.Count=", this.parts.Count, ")" } );
}
Since it never checks if def or parts is null before throwing it into a string which is used for an error message of the CrossRefLoader, I don't get the actual error message about what is wrong. The body parts worked correctly with alpha 8, and I didn't see any changes that would break them now.

Does someone have an idea how I can solve this one?

[Orion]

Okay, I found the issue: in alpha 9, mechanoids don't have toes or ringfingers anymore. I needed to remove all references to them.
