I will have a look and see how your vamp is different from Apoth. Does the effects file carry through ok?

Custom classes as downloaded through the Wrokshop should now work no problem - with the new build put out today both my Apothecary and Blackguard work when downloaded through the workshop. Thanks Pierre for your hard work in testing :)

Hey all!

So we are getting ready to roll out an update. But I wanted to ask in advance to help out keeping this thread up to date with issues. We will post the changes on a separate thread, but if you could Joey, keep the main post of this thread accurate to what are currently issues or not.

For our side it will be nice to have one place to see all the issues for tracking. If it makes more sense we can also create new threads for each update as well, but to start once the new build hits please go through the list at the top and to check what has been resolved or not.

This should be added - as per testing done by myself and St. Michaels.

-Class mods can be uploaded/downloaded through the workshop without issue. Class mods can show up in-game with the correct localization as long as the modder setup the loc files correctly. Unfortunately custom heroes CANNOT be taken into dungeons without crashing the game with a "spinedata - line 349" error. This error is consistent across all class mods.

Also - I believe all skin/colour mods do work correctly now. Initially it was user error that caused issues.

Thank you for this feedback, St. Michael's. At this point we will definitely need some dev feedback and support.

With regard to Lord - I simply did not do the correct upload with the loc files. Which I can easily fix.

At least I know it is not just me receiving these spinedata errors. At this point I do believe we will need further direction from devs on how to make our mods work with DD, once they are downloaded through the workshop.

Hye guys.

Just wanted to check in and see where people are with using the workshop. I know for me I still am not able to run my custom classes in dungeons when downloaded/subbed through the workshop. They can show up in game with the correct localization - but still crash to error when I try to access a dungeon with them in the party.

Has anyone gotten past this point when using a downloaded custom hero?

I found another issue with the Mod System after creating some cheated jsons to help with modding & testing. It appears that none of the "scripts/starting_save" persist scripts actually work in the ingame mod list, or at least the ones that modify the roster & estate. Infact, using a modified "persist.roster" seems to bug out the game a bit, I ended up with Dismas with 3 duplicate Debuffs on his Open Vein for some reason. persist.estate does not work at all.

I can confirm, that doing a mod based on altering the starting save files - the game does not recognize the mod downloaded through the workshop.

Ok so I have re-uploaded the Blackguard class for testing - so all of his files are live just like Apothecary's.

Once I have him in-game I will test to see if he is getting the same error as Apothecary when embarking to a dungeon.

If anyone else wants to test the two classes out through subbing - please let me know if those errors are occuring on your end as well.

To the devs - please see my post further above about the error I am getting. This error appears to be directed toward the anim files of the classes but when manually installed this error does not occur. So I am looking for assistance to find out why when downloaded through the workshop classes are crashing the game when put into a dungeon in-game.

The only way that could be an issue - is if the uploader itself is altering the anim files. In that case, it is an issue with the uploader/workshop.

Any chance you might have messed up the Blackguard's files on your end specifically ? Conundrum :/

Currently the files for Blackguard are incomplete in the workshop (he was uploaded before I learned what to do with the loc files). Since learning how to setup the localization folder for the uploader with the Apothecary class - I have not bothered to upload anymore classes until the crashing issue with her is resolved.

Waste of time otherwise - every class mod that I have tried through the workshop is getting the same error.

I have a game with them both manually installed - with no issue whatsoever.

EDIT: Blackguard - as downloaded through the Workshop results in the same error as the Apothecary when entering a dungeon.

FYI scorpio's error is an error tied to Spine, so i'd look around your .atlas in fx and anims.
I think i had a similar error when i first tried to point references, for instance it's CHARNAME.sprite.attack_axe where the first word is your custom hero name but the last 3 have to be the same as your base .png, because the .atlas looks for this reference inside its related .skel.

Ok! So it feels like I am inching closer and closer to getting my classes to work. What Tyler suggested in order to get the localization working, worked! I got my Apothecary class to show up in game and that the localization data for the game and for the class appears to be working normal. All classes, skills, items, places, words - are showing up with the correct info instead of strings.

But!

When I try to take the Apothecary on a mission - the game crashes. With several lines of error.

Now the question becomes - what step should I take next?

Error Info:

Assert failed
(Region != nullptr)
SpineDataBinaryLoader:: ReadAttachment in spinedata_binary_loader.cpp line 349
couldn't find region

I have never gotten this error with dozens of hours of gameplay with this class - so I can only assume it is related to how the class is working based on the uploader and/or workshop download. Thoughts?

I get the same error with PBD, but manual installation of the mod still works normally. This isn't just an issue with yours.

That was the same error I was getting when I was getting the string errors testing your mods a few days back. I wonder if this isn't necessarly a .loc error, but rather an error importing the animation files?

Some google came up with this thread, with this guy having the same error months back. http://www.darkestdungeon.com/topic/trying-to-narrow-it-down-spine-error/

Thanks for the replies guys - yes, manual installation works fine for my mods as well. At least now I've caught up with getting the loc files working.

I guess we need to wait for dev assistance before we can pinpoint the issue between the workshop downloads and making the classes/mods work in game.
