Mod Problem you guys might be able to help me with.

Hi Guys!
I created a character pack I didn't release on Steam yet (7 out of 10 characters done) and when I was trying to test it, the game just won't load. :(

The characters are there during the characters selection but after the selection of the characters the animation from the crash (Crash landing) plays and after that the screen stays black and I can only move the cursor.

This happens only when my mod is activated and my characters selectable.
I tested it with other character packs or other single characters and it works.

Since I thought I might have done something wrong, I opened a other modders pack that works and compared it to mine but I can't find any differences on the characters creation (except that might have other skills, traits, images, backstories and so on),

Did anyone else have this problem before and know what it could cause it?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

Did you run your game in debug mode? Did you check your game log for errors?

I also just let steam verify the integrity of the files but it didn't helped either. :(
Don't know if it would help to save my mod files, uninstall the game, reinstall and copy the mod in the appropriate folder, then open it in the mod editor, save and see if it works then.
Really don't get why it won't work when everything I selected for the characters are in game things and the mod editor doesn't give me ANY errors at all.

I actually had posted the log earlier today but it seems it was deleted by steam or anyone else with admin rights.

I see. Well there are quite a few errors, and it seems that some are actually breaking the game startup. You could upload the mod to the workshop and mark it as "unlisted". Then provide a link to it here. Thus it could be tested.
About the errors in the game meshes, these are not game breakers. The missing meshes are for developer only objects that are not released in the Steam build, so it is a false positive warning that has been left by mistake. The errors that breaks the game are the ones starting with [LUA ERROR].

I thought since there are some errors that indicate the equips that they are maybe caused by some items I gave the characters as equips like construction materials? :o
Thanks for the clarification about the other mesh errors. :)
Gonna take out the equips like medicine and stuff and only leave the characters with clothing pieces and test again if it fixes it.
If not I'm gonna do like you said and post the link here in a few. :)

Welll it didn't help either so here is the link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3310498659

Another question:
Is there a list with the images of the in the mod editor available pieces of characters like allegra, omar, Reiko, Atticus and so on that are not selectable in the game?
Asking because its weird to have their pieces available in the editor without knowing how they actually look and if they are fitting to the characters we apply them on lookwise at all.

Ok, you are trying to equip things "Apparel_Chest", "Apparel_Pants", "Apparel_Shoes". These are resource groups and not specific equipment presets. For some reason the choice is listing all resources, and not only the equipment. I will fix this via the mod SAD_CommonLIb. I recommend to subscribe to it.

Oh. I thought they are just plain clothes instead of armor.
Thats why I used them. :)
Shouldn't items like these be unavailable as equipment selections?
If they were unavailable it would be more clearer for modders to not select them.
Thanks a lot for fixing this.

EDIT: Subscribed to SAD_CommonLib.
EDIT: I changed the apparel clothes to normal ones for all the characters they had them and now it works. :)
Thanks again for your help!

Great!
I just published the fix in version sad_commonlib 0.9.437
If the mod isn't updated to that version automatically, do a game integrity check, it should force the update.
The choice doesn't list any longer invalid equipment. Also in case that such is already selected, the error on start is shielded and the game will not freeze.
