Close the game and send the exceptionLog.txt file that you can find on your root installation folder (next to the .exe, default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World).

You don't have region kit installed, move to modding support
wary leaf
when the game crashed it was trying to add creature spawns
hard oak
This is for region kit related issues
wary leaf
so there is probably something wrong with those

#modding-quick-support message
I've been trying to debug why ConditionalEffects is breaking my game. As of about an hour ago it's now freezing when I try playing the main game, and I don't understand what changed. However, I do have some interesting debugging results...
I added a line in RegionKit to log the effect that's currently being parsed. It's crashing on Fog-0.2391304-23-82 which is from CC_SettingsTemplate_Outside.txt which is the first template that CRS loads when it loads them all at the start of the game. Removing this effect causes it to freezes on the next loaded effect - basically, for whatever reason the hook freezes the first time it's ran. It's not an issue of an invalid syntax
lavish hazel
I just tried it on a completely fresh install after copying only the BepInEx stuffs over from the previous install, and it still freezes with the exact same exception
lavish hazel
ok, looks like the whole bug was caused by missing curly braces in the version I was building from VS. Releases version works fine (could've sworn I tried using that already)

wary leaf
wait is this a problem with regionkit and underbelly?
supple lantern
not sure rn, I'm dnspying around to see what's up and it might be because the playerprogression or save slot hasn't been loaded yet, but I'm not sure
what did you say you were doing when it broke?
wary leaf
i was just trying to look at underbellys map and art in the main menue regions tab
do you want any other logs or smth?
supple lantern
I couldn't see anything I thought was unusual in the customworldlog, but could I see the console log?
not sure that it will help, but probably worth having

no problem

[CustomRegions] Error finding Title directory for [UB] - at [Mods\CustomResources\Underbelly\Assets\Futile\Resources\Illustrations\]
Wrong syntax effect loaded: Fog
is that the problem
supple lantern
the Wrong syntax effect loaded log message is from the same hook that throwing the exception
I didn't realise it was a normal log and not an error log message so assumed that wasn't happening because it wasn't in the exceptionlog
wary leaf
i see
supple lantern
... interesting decision
idk much about regionkit, so I'm not 100% here
first thing to check would be that your room effect string for Fog is formatted correctly
wary leaf
how would i do that?
supple lantern
not sure how room effects are meant to be formatted but I can check that now lol
wary leaf
alright cool
supple lantern

the console log doesn't look like it matches this
unless I'm wrong, which is possible
hold on
wary leaf
i can look at it again and send the logs again if you want
supple lantern
yeah sure
supple lantern
ah, yeah I forgot you could start a story session and then exit to main menu 
bear with, I am trying to check something but realm is having a fit lol
supple lantern
oh

looking at the first line of this rn. I don't know how "Title directory" stuff works, but yours appears to be missing
wary leaf
i see
supple lantern
I have a feeling that might not be the issue causing the crash, but 
supple lantern
(quietly praying that gar arrives)
wary leaf
xd
wary leaf
hey imma have to leave now, sorry
if you find something you could put it here and i guess ill see it later 
and thanks for the help still
supple lantern
no worries, hopefully if I don't find anything then someone else will. Can't remember how visible threads are to people who haven't joined them
wary leaf
not very visible, i guess i can just ask again and find another unfortunate victim
supple lantern
Wrong syntax effect loaded: Fog
misunderstood where this was coming from - this is from the vanilla method, not the regionkit hook that's throwing the exception
wary leaf
Is there some scuffed shit going on with the fog?, i actually remember seeing somethibg like that very early in the regions development
supple lantern
that is logged from the catch clause of a try-catch, but the catch isn't filtered by exception type, so there's no immediate way to tell what the issue is, just that something went wrong when it was reading the Fog affect for a room
and I'm again not sure if this is what sets off the big issue
wary leaf
Yikes
I dont see why that would cause problems with the main menue map thing but u dont jnow how this game is coded
strange escarp
he does know, you're the one who doesn't
wary leaf
M
supple lantern
presumably a typo
wary leaf
Oh yeqh im on phone
supple lantern
lol
wary leaf
Sorry for any confusion
supple lantern
it loads the map for the region at some point for the region menu
wary leaf
Oh and also, just before leaving i tested it without regionkit, and it worked
wary leaf
it loads the map for the region at some point for the region menu
Okay tjat makes sense
supple lantern

<@&882919010251976744> (so you can be here)
wary leaf
Satanic ritual
supple lantern
so it looks like you have a dodgy fog effect string somewhere, vanilla game is ignoring it (to check that, the message should still be in consolelog when running without regionkit), but something is causing the regionkit hook to die
supple lantern
vanilla game is ignoring it
as in, it sticks the message in the debug log and skips loading it
wary leaf
Oh so i can just check for a room without fog cuz there should be fog in pretty much every room in underbelly
supple lantern
no, the fog affect is in a room, but something about it for that room is wrong
effect format should be Fog-a-b-c where a, b, and c are floats
wary leaf
Oh
supple lantern
so like Fog-0.5-50.2-584.3242 or something
wary leaf
I see
wary leaf
effect format should be `Fog-a-b-c` where a, b, and c are floats
would it be as simple as just finding that room and removing that fog effect or is there something more that needs to be done?
supple lantern
hopefully
unless there is something else going on, which there doesn't seem to be
supple obsidian
regionkit-support
wary leaf
I gues i could manually check every effects file
supple lantern
okay, the format is Fog-amount-x-y where x and y are the x and y coords for the devtools panel for the effect
wary leaf
Ok cool
how would i spot that something is fucked up with a specific instance?
would a value be missing or something
supple lantern
yeah, missing values like Fog--x-y, or something where a float/numeric value should be that isn't a digit or .
I'm not sure how that would have happened in the first place though
wary leaf
would that be easier to spot in game or by checking the text files actually, all those numbers just make my brain melt
supple lantern
well, you probably wouldn't spot it in-game because it isn't loading the effect
I think
I'd imagine there is a room somewhere that's meant to have fog but actually doesn't in-game
wary leaf
i mean every room in UB is meant to have fog
so i feel like that would be easy to spot
supple lantern
oh, fair enough
supple lantern
nw
supple lantern
I don't think it's actually an issue with regionkit (though a little logging and more specific exception handling for this hook would be nice)
but not sure yet
I guess we just wait and see if this fixes it (if it does then it was just a mistake in the room settings)
wary leaf
alright im back home and i think i found it
room 5 doesnt seem to have any fog, no matter how much i mess with the settings
supple lantern
Fog-0.4565217-270-20 fog settings for UB room 5
uh
not sure why it doesn't like that
I am back to being confused
unless it's different on your end
wary leaf
no matter what i do i cant seem to turn on fog in the room, so im assuming its the problem
supple lantern
open the settings txt for room 5 and see what the fog settings are
wary leaf
i removed it so idk what they were originally
supple lantern
ah
wary leaf
i have the version of UB thats on crs so its probably the same as for you
this is what the effect looks like when ive maxed it out
Fog-1-20-20
seems pretty normal
supple lantern
yeah
now that you've changed the values to something we know loads properly, try the region menu again
wary leaf
i just removed it cuz the fog didnt load either way for some reason?
wary leaf
haunted room ig
supple lantern
lol
supple lantern
same exception
wary leaf
yeah
supple lantern
oh...
wary leaf
i took a little peek at the console log and i seems to be complaining about flies now
wary leaf
let me go back to that exact same room and check again iguess
supple lantern
no flies in that room?
wary leaf
yeah
supple lantern
is it crying about a different room then
wary leaf
good god
supple lantern
okay I have a few ideas
one second
if you run with this, it should put the room names in the consolelog before it loads the effects
that way we'll be able to tell which room it's having issues with
wary leaf
here
supple lantern
can you upload the settings for UB_room65 ?
wary leaf
wary leaf
huh
turbid karma
no manual editing?>
supple lantern
so it's trying to parse an empty string as a number
wary leaf
no not as far as i remember
turbid karma
weird
wary leaf
idk what i was on when i made UB tho so i cant be completely shure
supple lantern
perhaps something in regionkit accidentally tampered? I know there is a lot of messing with effects and pobjs and stuff
lmao
wary leaf
i guess ill just remove flies from that room and call it a day
unless there are more broken efects
supple lantern
yeah...
I'm still a bit confused about why this is causing regionkit to piss itself though
oh
wary leaf
at least its fixed
thanks a lot for the help :)
do you mind if i credit you in the update thingy?
cuz i 100% would not have been able to fix this without your help
supple lantern
yeah, I did actually just finish a version that will also log the effect parsing in full, but this seems like a pretty niche issue lol
wary leaf
yeah, I did actually just finish a version that will also log the effect parsing...
i guess you could put it somewhere so that it can help if anyone else runs into this issue
but yes, seems a bit to nieche
supple lantern
@supple obsidian is the idea of the drought and regionkit threads to reuse them for future drought and regionkit issues?
supple obsidian
yeah, maybe multiple users have the same problems
common solutions could be pinned
supple lantern
okey 
tldr on this one was that if a room effect string is malformed then the vanilla game doesn't care but for some reason regionkit will freeze the game
valid vessel
valid vessel
Why is it a different file size every time I post it
supple lantern
evidently you relaunched the game between sending the files because this log is different
the apparently fatal error in the log you sent in modding support before I suggested you post it here was occurring while regionkit was trying to load room effects. This is very different and it probably and incompatibility between sporecat and another mod that edits slugcat tail length (fancy, etc.), so this log is not regionkit related
valid vessel
That's odd. I completely removed fancy slugcats and deleted all LizardSkin things so this might be an old version of this file in the game file
