Error log, cant figure out whats wrong.

« on: April 27, 2015, 03:01:48 am »

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I got this error log and after wracking my brain for a long period of time i cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong... These are not my weapons, they are from a mod I downloaded, and I figure they should work, i mean i changed there names and such and some of the values but I didnt touch the ITEM_WEAPON area, I will post a copy of one of the ones the error log seems to be having a issue with..

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SPEAR_VOULGE]
[NAME:voulge:voulges]
[SKILL:SPEAR]
[SIZE:1200]
[TWO_HANDED:77500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:62500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:2000:stab:stabs:tip:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:EDGE:20000:8000:hack:hacks:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:20000:6000:bash:bashes:shaft:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]

This is at the top of my list for things it has a problem with...

I placed this token for it in my entity file [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SPEAR_VOULGE]

Well, that weapon looks completely alright. Since they're being missed in batches, I'm guessing the new files aren't being picked up.
Are the filenames named like item_xyz.txt? Do those item_xyz.txt files have the proper headers?

Code: [Select]

item_xyz

[OBJECT:ITEM]

Yeah, I did. If those first lowercase lines match the filenames, I'm stumped.

Are the item files sitting in subfolders inside /raw/objects? Could you be making some really embarrassing mistake where you're modifying one set of raws and not noticing that you're playing with another?

Can't be in subfolders, just the raw/objects folder.

Exactly, that's why I asked.

If all of those things are stuffed into one long file instead of dividing them between categories like usual, I could vaguely imagine something going wrong but I can't argue why it wouldn't work. I don't think anyone has ever tried.

We've exhausted the obvious pitfalls of modding, so everything that's left is unlikely. It looks like an entire file has been skipped, but it would help to confirm that this is, in fact, one file.

Any chance that your editor decided to be helpful and save your work in RTF? Or encode it in Unicode? Or otherwise make the file human-readable but invalid as raws? Copy and paste everything into Notepad++ and make sure the encoding matches what you see for functioning raw files.

Depending on your OS, file permissions can let you read the file but not the DF application. DF doesn't report file I/O errors, opting instead to silently skip the troublesome file.

It's very rare now-a-days, but hard drives can mangle a sector. Again, DF doesn't report file I/O errors. Try renaming (not deleting) the file to something without a .txt extension, then copy your modded raw in again.

How about i just post the entire files here? I will make three posts each one cluding my entity file, my tokens, and my modded weapons.
