What spell?

What spell?

Any, even Light. This is annoying to test, since it takes 3 minutes to export (if it doesn't randomly fail) plus getting into game...

I tried finding any onSpellCast hooks and commented out all addTrait() instances but didn't help

just a tip for exporting files,
put graphics on low before you start up the editor and export your mod

or simply install that 4 gb patch

Speaking of which, anyone else gets this sometimes?



I've been working on this mod for nearly a year but this only started happening like 2~3 months ago

No.

It would be helpful if you give more details.
Are you exporting while on "low graphics settings" This is important! Or at least using the 4 GB patch?

Have you used any of the available custom asset packs from other modders that might interfere?

Since you are using custom classes, are you taking the time to create a new custom party when testing out your .dat file?
When I introduced custom classes in my mod, using the default party to "quickly" test the newly created .dat file caused similar issues.
And I had to take the time to create a new party every time I wanted to test my new .dat file.

You might be on to something

Recently I started testing my mod with this function to quickly create a default test party (the goal is to work as a failsafe if the player chooses to not create a party or import one):

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

function setDefaultParty()
	local champion = nil
	for c=1,4 do
		champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(c)
		-- Reset Level
		champion:resetExp(0)
		-- Reset Skills
		for i=1,#skillNames do
			local s = champion:getSkillLevel(skillNames[i])
			champion:trainSkill(skillNames[i], s * -1, false)
		end
		-- Remove items
		for s=1,32 do champion:removeItemFromSlot(s) end		
	end

	champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(1)
	champion:setRace("insectoid")
	champion:setClass("monk")
	champion:addTrait("persistence")
	champion:trainSkill("heavy_weapons_c", 1, false)
	champion:trainSkill("athletics", 1, false)

	champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(2)
	champion:setRace("lizardman")
	champion:setClass("assassin_class")
	champion:addTrait("wide_vision")
	champion:trainSkill("light_weapons_c", 1, false)
	champion:trainSkill("critical", 1, false)

	champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(3)
	champion:setRace("ratling")
	champion:setClass("corsair")
	champion:addTrait("rodent")
	champion:trainSkill("firearms", 1, false)
	champion:trainSkill("alchemy", 1, false)

	champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(4)
	champion:setRace("human")
	champion:setClass("elementalist")
	champion:addTrait("lore_master")
	champion:trainSkill("elemental_magic", 1, false)
	champion:trainSkill("concentration", 1, false)

	for c=1,4 do
		champion = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(c)
		champion:setHealth(champion:getMaxHealth() * 0.9)
		champion:setEnergy(champion:getMaxEnergy() * 0.9)
	end
end

It's the 4th champion that triggers the bug. I've made a human elementalist with lore master trait via character creation and it works, so now... to figure out why this breaks stuff

Does your mod produce a .dat file that is over 100 MB? The filesize limit for Steam Workshop is somewhere close to that.

101mb, but the error only happens some times

Can you do anything with the monstergroup component?

A code that I expect to be like

Code: Select all

twigroot_pair_1.monstergroup:getAIState()

results in a crash "attempt to index global "twigroot_pair_1" ( a nil value)" when twigroot_pair_1 absolutely exists.

[minmay]

That means twigroot_pair_1 does not exist. MonsterGroupComponent, upon first updating, spawns its monsters and destroys its GameObject.
