| Summary | 0006664: COPY_TAGS_FROM modding error causes crash without error messages | ||||
| Description | The particular error I made was using the tag COPY_TAGS_FROM in a different file from the target of that tag. The game started up fine, I got into arena fine, and I could find the creature in the list of available creatures; but when I created it, the game crashed. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Put this in a creature file other than creature_standard.txt: [CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BLACK_BRONZE] [COPY_TAGS_FROM:COLOSSUS_BRONZE] [CV_CONVERT_TAG] [CVCT_MASTER:TISSUE] [CVCT_TARGET:BRONZE] [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:BLACK_BRONZE] [CV_CONVERT_TAG] [CVCT_MASTER:TISSUE_NAME] [CVCT_TARGET:bronze] [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:black bronze] [CV_CONVERT_TAG] [CVCT_MASTER:TISSUE_MATERIAL] [CVCT_TARGET:BRONZE] [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:BLACK_BRONZE] [CV_CONVERT_TAG] [CVCT_MASTER:TISSUE_LAYER] [CVCT_TARGET:BRONZE] [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:BLACK_BRONZE] [CV_CONVERT_TAG] [CVCT_MASTER:ITEMCORPSE] [CVCT_TARGET:BRONZE] [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:BLACK_BRONZE] [GO_TO_END] [SELECT_CASTE:ALL] [CASTE_NAME:black bronze colossus:black bronze colossuses:black bronze colossus] [DESCRIPTION:A near perfect copy of a bronze colossus, for debugging] Start up arena mode, try to create a black bronze colossus, and watch the game crash. | ||||
| Additional Information | Since this is a crash caused by modding, not by intended gameplay, I categorized it as "minor" instead of "crash". | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
