RELEASED Natural Slopes (replacer version) 1.3.9.25

Custos_Aeternam submitted a new mod:

Natural Slopes (replacer version) - Replaces default block rendering with a custom slope render.

Read more about this mod...

 

I've run into a... problematic bug with your mod. Sometimes when excavating a fossil, the window is broken. Not the older "glitchy but technically workable" one, but rather this:

I.e. literally nothing to work with. The log gets this error message: https://pastebin.com/rE3LQjRN

The error seems to be biome-tied, or possibly tied to the surrounding blocks. In some areas, such as the Sulphuric biome I was in at the captured event, it comes up for every fossil I try with. In other areas, it seems to be more sporadic. In one place, I noticed that if I put timber blocks to stand on and surround the fossil with (I like to keep monsters out when I'm working), the bug triggered, whereas if I used natural blocks it was fine.

And yes, I know this mod is the cause, as I tested on the exact same fossil (by backing up and restoring world files) with and without the mod, and the excavation worked fine without it.

I hope this provides some clues as to what's wrong so you can fix it. The world is so much more aesthetically pleasing with slopes.

 

Sorry, forgot to update this one with the steam version; I fixed that issue.

 

Also, when you run into "Glitchy but workable" fossils, please copy and paste your log to pastebin.com and put it here so I can correct it. I have the script logging when a file is not supported.

I might, perhaps, maybe, also upload the "crafting" version so that people who, for some reason, don't want slopes to generate naturally can craft them.

 

I am heavily debating on reworking this mod from its original state into one that will be significantly easier to update.
Right now I am adding each file I want the fossil game to load and editing the level.lua to swap the file it is using for the one I want it to use... which means every image the fossil game uses exists in two separate forms.
If I were to move the sloped textures to a different folder, and edit the materials.patch files to point to the images' new location it would preserve the vanilla images and allow the fossil game to load any texture it wants.

 

Got kicked back to ship while exploring the lower depths of a planet. When I checked the log, I found this:

Well, I've reported it now. Please fix so it doesn't break things again.

Also, if you're going to put in forced errors for testing, consider having your error message say which mod is doing it. I run a lot of them, and it took some digging to find the culprit.

 

I love how you assumed immediately that my mod had anything to do with your crash.
" [Error] WorldServerThread exception caught: (WorldStorageException) WorldStorage generation failed while generating from queue

Caused by: (TreasureException) Unknown treasure pool 'scienceoutpostbanner2'
-snip-"
^ ^ ^ ^ ^That caused it.
My script broke because something else messed with lua. There is no way for my script to tell which mod broke, all it is doing is testing to see if x texture is supported. In this case, something caused the LUA to act weird and think that the very valid textures that I put in the mod are not valid.
Surprise surprise, your error was actually cause by something else. Which I quoted above. That error is the reason you were kicked to your ship and has nothing to do with my mod. There is nothing I can do to fix that.
All my script does is intercept the textures being given to the fossil game, check if they are one of the supported textures, and, if they are, it gives the fossil game the names of the proper textures (which have f added to the front of them).
The rest of the mod also doesn't cause the problem you posted.
The funny thing about this error, is that it should still have given the fossil game the correct textures, since it somehow got ahold of the f-names sooner than it should have.
