World Domination mod error

Post by dead_devil_66 »

Good night to all of you. :)

I'm having a problem with the mod i wrote in the thread's title.

When i try to start a game with it, the game returns an error message like this one:

[string "gamedata/defs.lua"]:37: [string "gamedata/defs.lua"]:25: error = 2, gamedata/unitDefs.lua, [string "gamedata/download_builds.lua"]:44: table index is nil

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the game mod? Thank you.

Sounds like something is screwy with the files in the download tdfs...

Easiest solution is probably to switch over to a sidedata.tdf based build lists.

Basically someone needs to poke the maker of that mod into releasing a new version. .76b1 introduced new parsers which are better, but picker about errors in files.

You can't just go get a file. The person who made the mod needs to fix it.

Well, it's not so much that the mod maker has to do it, as it is any random person probably has to fix some typos in the mod.

Combining modtype = 2 with lua could definitely make some wicked-awesome stuff. Only two things I could see causing problems:

1) Smashing namespaces/filesystems together. Dependencies are fine for that because when you smash those together you still are smashing known things. You know what unit names you have already, resources, etc.

2) Too late to edit the side-list, since side-list is fixed in lobby based on sidedata.

Still, otherwise, you could do some terrifying things involving widgets and unitdefs_post.
