tropic dove already tried updating everything and it didnt work <:catplant:90306674088647891...

pretty sure this might be an old bug I fixed, is it up-to-date?

tropic dove Jun 29, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

is 1.3.1 the latest release?

teal bay Jun 29, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

yeah; strange

#

I'll look into it

#

and it crashes on startup?

#

that's odd cuz this code only runs after one of my entities is constructed

#

could I see log.txt plz

tropic dove Jun 29, 2024, 1:37 AM

#

yeah, as soon as everest is done loading it just crashes

📎 log.txt

#

ig it's unrelated but there's also some invalid xml somewhere (maybe in a mod ur working on)

#

I doubt that error is cascading to mine tho

#

could you try disabling CelesteTAS rq and see if it works

tropic dove Jun 29, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

sure

#

disabling celestetas fixed it

teal bay Jun 29, 2024, 1:47 AM

#

euh

#

this will be fun to find ig

#

I think celestetas's hooks into EntityList might conflict with mine somewhere

teal bay Jul 1, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

why the fuck do I even have Engine.Scene.Tracker in here

#

surely celestetas isn't just constructing random entitylists before Initalize

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

oh my fucking god

#

are you fucking serious

#

wait

#

no...

#

@tropic dove did you figure out what xml file was broken?

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

yeah, it was a mirror decalregistry that wasn't setup properly

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

could you send that file rq

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

sure

#

📎 DecalRegistry.xml

#

the only thing broken about it was that it was missing the / at the end of the mirror line

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

that goes in graphics usually right? (I'm new to decalregistry)

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

Graphics/Atlases/Gameplay/mirrormasks
and Graphics/Atlases/Gameplay/decals

#

oh wait

#

the xml goes in the root folder

#

the path i sent is for the images

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

alr

somber kite Jul 3, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

yeah the xml goes in the mod root

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

oh in the root

#

ffs

#

alright

#

so

#

you know how like

#

everest has a crash handler

#

which apparently until recently just didn't get triggered until the game is fully intialized

#

so

#

my mod crashes on the crash screen lmao

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

lmfao

#

but like, how?

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:53 AM

#

maybe because the Tracker isn't initialized yet since presumably the decalregistry is checked in intialized

#

maybe this might be something that everest should fix idk if showing the crash screen before init is a good idea lol

#

bruh

#

yeah

#

ok

#

wtf

#

it's worse

#

Engine.Scene is null?????

#

I

#

ok

#

sure

#

whatever

#

fix inbound

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

youknowicattodoittoem

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

strangely enough

somber kite Jul 3, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

teal bay which apparently until recently just didn't get triggered until the game is full...

it uh
isn't supposed to kick in until celeste like finishes loading

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

the crash screen gets skipped

#

yeah

#

otherwise I can't think of any other scenes that would trigger that early

#

if (CurrentHandler.State < DisplayState.CleanScene) {
    Scene oldScene = CurrentHandler.Scene;
    CurrentHandler.RemoveSelf();
    oldScene?.Entities?.UpdateLists();

    Scene errorScene = new Scene();
    errorScene.Add(new HudRenderer());
    errorScene.Add(new HiresSnow());
    errorScene.Add(CurrentHandler);
    CurrentHandler.State = DisplayState.CleanScene;
    errorScene.Entities.UpdateLists();

    DoImmediateSceneSwitch(errorScene);
    return null;
}

#

ah hah

#

there you are

#

yeah so it just doesn't set Engine.Scene

#

and it calls UpdateLists too

#

v1.3.2 fixes this. should be up whenever the update checker is done twiddling it's thumbs

tropic dove Jul 3, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

thumbeline thank you

teal bay Jul 3, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

somber kite it uh isn't supposed to kick in until celeste like finishes loading

I see now

#

there's like 3 states

#

of crash-worthiness

#

and everest will try each state on it's own, first replacing the scene outright with the crash scene, trying a different bluescreen scene that doesn't include the Snow effect or fancy animations, and then finally failing all of that, just rethrowing the exception

#

so everest will try to load the crash screen, quickly realize that no assets are loaded, and then crash again for real
