(Solved) D2RLAN 1.5.0 JSON Parse Error

[haughty dove]

Solved, had multiple trailing commas in the JSON.

It's happening again, but not because I used the retail version of desecratedzones.json this time. 😆

App Version: 1.5.0
D2RHUD Version: 1.2.0
Issue: JSON parse error popup upon trying to enter a game (or open the automap) with a TZ eligible character
Details: After choosing a difficulty to enter a game I get this popup repeatedly and have to spam close it to get through the load screen and into the game, ditto when I open the automap for the first time.

I don't see any obvious issues like typos or missing brackets/commas or anything in my desecratedzones.json, I used the updated files that you linked here:
#1405478194131501158 message

It worked fine until I changed the existing zones (which was an edit that previously worked when the 2.4 TZs were first added), then I get this popup.

i checked line 196, didn't see anything off

ah wait nope, i see the issue lol

line 335, forgot to change id 15 to 13

nope, still happens even after fixing that
restarting didn't help, reinstalling d2rhud didn't help

also not a bug but feedback: one of my friends suggested that it might be nice if the stat list had an option to be hidden since it clutters the UI a bit, which i can agree with

and perhaps you just want to have a sort of baseline/global effect for all TZs in which case it probably doesn't need to be notated ingame and can just be part of a mod info or something, would also be nice to be able to hide it in that case

Do you use Visual Studio Code DM?

If not, I strongly recommend it for editing JSON files. In this case, the issue is that you have a lot of "trailing commas" in the file.
Anything indicated in yellow on the minipane, is a potential issue for reading the file

notepad++ with json extension thingy, vsc is a hassle to load 😩

but if i must then okay

[elder cloak]

not visual studio man...visual studio CODE

[haughty dove]

ik, it’s still not as quick/convenient

[elder cloak]

I dont think I understand you, sorry. You double-click the file and it opens...how can it be faster/easier? lol

Use NP++ if you want, I just recommend VSC for reasons like this. Heck can install a plugin for VSC that removes trailing commas for you and such like that even

[haughty dove]

its been a minute since i used vsc so i might be misremembering, but it seemed to be a hassle to use (to the inexperienced like me) from what i remember, but i’ll give it another go

[elder cloak]

Ya you're confusing it with Visual Studio im pretty sure. Which is used to develop your own programs and such...sure, can get "complicated".
This is literally just a text editor like notepad or something....but better

Will think on that, but imo they are just as important as the level display. They change with each rotation just like levels, and so it makes sense to me personally.
That said, will see how it all plays out over the next bit and go from there
