If your issue isn't about modding, take it to the Steam forums, Reddit etc. please!

Vague titles like "I need help" or "Reloaded error" are not sufficient! :label:

:four: If your post is related to a specific mod or guide you're following, share a link to it! Don't just assume everyone knows what you're referring to! :link:

"I'm getting unexpected behaviour when playing with mods!"
If the problem only occurs with mods enabled (double-check this!), then it's likely caused by a bug in one of the mods you have installed. Try disabling each of your mods one by one, launching the game and testing as you go to narrow down the problem mod. Once identified, report the issue to the author so they can fix it!

what did i do wrong?

#

i deleted and reinstalled the mod and relaunch r2 same issue

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:01 AM

#

His log indicates they might not have Reloaded.Sharedlib.Hooks mod

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:02 AM

#

It shouldn't have changed anything. Are we sure it isn't just a conflicting file?

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:02 AM

#

Though it's strange, the actual loader uses it too and would throw an error

#

Kind of a design flaw that the logger doesn't print which mod logged the message.

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:02 AM

#

Oh, mb I didn't notice that

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:02 AM

#

I can in theory still change that, maybe I should.

#

Think it's PAK emu based on order though

#

In any case, can you repro?

#

I can get up and try repro if needed, would just need to set up game under Proton

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:04 AM

#

I'm trying rn

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:04 AM

#

Which is less than ideal experience right now honestly

#

I suggest deleting the local FileEmulationFramework stuff

#

Let it download

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

Seems to work fine for me

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

So you won't be running local builds by accident

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:05 AM

#

True, I'll do that

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

chrome thorn what did i do wrong?

Their PAK mod isn't seeing Reloaded.SharedLib.Hooks in any case

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

Yep, still works for me too

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

Maybe it'll fix itself if they delete their ~~Pak~~ bf mod and let it redownload, or their hooks mod.

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:07 AM

#

I don't think that should even matter though. I'm almost certain it doesn't use Reloaded hooks (I have no idea why it would)

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:08 AM

#

Wait, it's bf enulator

#

My bad

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:08 AM

#

Well the mod doesn't have any bfs

#

So that definitely shouldn't matter

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:08 AM

#

Still, issue is their GetController is returning null

#

Or well, part of the issue anyway

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:09 AM

#

It does say it's using a cached file, maybe the cache got messed up somehow. Try deleting the Cache folder in Persona Essentials' folder @chrome thorn

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:10 AM

#

GetController here is the Reloaded Loader API for getting a component from another mod. (In this case Reloaded.SharedLib.Hooks)

#

teehee

#

The cache folder should clear when essentials is upgraded; but still worth a shot

#

I'd suggest deleting

hooks,
bf emulator
cache

chrome thorn Jul 9, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

north crest It does say it's using a cached file, maybe the cache got messed up somehow. Try...

let be try

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:13 AM

====
Misc note.

One thing I'll definitely need to do for R3 is to keep mod file hashes & listing from downloads around somewhere. So users can run integrity checks during troubleshoot.

There's always the odd case when someone's antivirus deletes a mod file and it causes unexpected runtime errors.

One of my mods is notorious for this actually. And it doesn't even do anything, it's not even a mod, it's my decompressor for SEGA PRS format lol.

chrome thorn Jul 9, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

just this right?

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

Yeet the whole folder

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:13 AM

#

I'd just delete the whole cache folder

#

If you delete just that I think it might mess stuff up with the json file

gaunt girder Jul 9, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

Yep

chrome thorn Jul 9, 2023, 6:14 AM

#

ok delte cache folder not just the p4g folder got it

#

delted let me try running it now

#

works now

#

so for some reason it my essentials cache got corrupted right

#

let me check if i have all other mods thats doesnt use spr works with this

north crest Jul 9, 2023, 6:17 AM

#

My guess would be that you had a mod enabled before that overwrote the spr used by colourful controller and for some reason when you disabled it the file didn't get rebuilt. If that is the case something's wrong with the caching code (I hope not)

chrome thorn Jul 9, 2023, 6:19 AM

#

yeah i was using colorful skills

#

i probably just stick with cep until spr is included in essentials

#

let me close this out

#

oh my god im so stupid

#

i didnt realize arcana localization also modify spr as well with that off all other mods that mod spr off except colorful controller mod works
