Hi Guys
Currently I try to write a little mod to add a new class to the game. Now I tried to test it in the game, but
I run directly in multiple Errors and the game won´t start but instead get stuck in a black screen right before the
Radiant-Logo appears.
Now I´m not familiar enough with Lua as programming language, to figure out on my own why this Errors happen.
The Errors are following:
1.

So far I understand it, the game searchs for different variables, but is not able to find them. But which files are opened by the functions?
I also tested if it is a compatibility problem with another mod, but it isn´t.
I hope someone can give me maybe a hint what is wrong or where I have to search for mistakes in my script.
Thank you for your answers
Ps.: Sry if this is the wrong thread for this topic and it belongs instead in the Bug-Report category. I thought, since it´s a mod-related problem, it belongs here.
It sounds like you might have an “iconic_form” path that is invalid in one of your entity json files. Under the “stonehearth:entity_forms” component, there is an “iconic_form” that should be something like “file(blah_iconic.json)”. If that file doesn’t exist in the folder the entity json is in, it could cause an error like this
translation into human: you are pointing at a place that does not exist.
traslation for the translation: you probably made a typo or a “whoops” mistake somewhere. think too many, too little, comma’s, " 's etc. or just plain forgetting to change something i make these ALL_THE_TIME.
Linda was exactly right Witz her answer. I forgot to change a line in a iconic.json-file. Now everything works and I can test it.
So I see forward to share it with the community in the near future.
So I reached the point where the main json-files are in place and the mod should be able to run in game. But due to some errors it still crashes in the moment, when I place the embarkation-banner in the world and the complete game closes. I spent the last days polishing and comparing my files with Dani´s Glasswork mod, that I used as blueprint, but I´m still not able to figure out what went wrong.
So, because I wasn´t sure how to upload a file here in discourse, I instead uploaded the mod now at steam as “Baker Mod”, hoping that someone may have the time and patience to read through it and give me a hint what could be wrong with it.

There is distinctly still an issue.
…which bugs me, because I know I caused this issue with one of my own mods at one point, but I utterly don’t remember how / how to fix it…
Workshop equivalents is something you mix into an existing workshop to tell it yours can be used as an alternative to it, it’s hoe I do my custom workbenches for my nordlings, is there something in his manifest mixing into Ann existing workbench?
Hey you both
Thanks a lot for your replies and sry for the late answer, but I was lately travelling around a lot
and so there wasn´t too much spare time to check the forum.
First to the crash that I encountered: It is caused by an incompatiblity with the mod “Home Sweet Home”, which I never thought of before, because I didn´t expect it to touch files that would influence my mod.
But with every other mod I have subscribed to, it runs perfectly.
Next was that I ran in the same errors, that Kitty already pointed out. The last two weeks I used to make the changes that you also suggested in your post. It was much “learning by doing”, but also very satisfying ^^
For now it runs smoothly, without any errors (or at least I didn´t encounter any new errors while testing it) and now the next step is to polish it a bit more and to think about the advanced features like new stockpile categories.
It´s great how helpful you and the community as a whole are, so I have to say it again: Thank you
Ah, wonderful; so the UI bug on my end, is probably something I typoed while making my fixes (I am prone to doing that).
I was anticipating the “learning by doing”, since that’s been a good method for me as well, hence I posted the fixes I was making rather than just the corrected files
I look forward to the finished mod! I love the concept; would be very happy to help contribute more ideas and models if you’d like them in the future.
i make these ALL_THE_TIME.
