Billboard / Vests Error 41.73 [SOLVED]
So while playing a Zombie had a billboard on him,hovering the mouse over the Billboard caused the red box errors to pop-up fast

here is the log (this might be a mod conflict,but don't have the time to test this right now,so if you have the time take a look at it)

All the errors come from tooltip code. I'd need more info to know what is going on.

ok,like i said i just hover the mouse over it and errors start showing up,like i said this might be a mod compatibility problem,the funny thing is when i use item spawner (cheat mod) to spawn the billboard in my inventory no errors,even if i move it to a dead zombie again no errors,seem to happen only if a zombie spawns with it,will let you know in a day or two when i start disabling mod's one by one till i find the culprit if it's indeed a compatibility problem,btw this is not game breaking in anyway forgot to mention that

Ok, let me know how these tests go.

ok so i did a bit of testing and i think i may have the culprit,it's a compatibility problem with the following mods (i think at least) really hard to find a zombie with billboard :D took me ages...anyway here is the list that i think somehow causes this error

Custom Map Bridge
Snake Utils Pack (particularity this one)

these mod's are from this pack

https://pzmodding.blogspot.com/2020/08/pack-de-mods-by-snake.html (use translate)

i am using a fair bit of mod's from that pack but i narrowed it to these 2

Weird, how could a map cause this error? Can you please check if in that pack there's a file called Tooltip.lua? Because that's where the error comes from.
dtoxic 4 Feb, 2021 @ 10:47am 
just did. it's in the Snake Utils Pack, it's a requirement for other mod's in that pack...

You might want to tell him about this error, maybe he can fix it for you.

ok...thx for looking into it

I have the same issue with billboards. I don't use that mod tho. For me the tooltip for the billboard is completely blank except for the name and condition. I don't seem to be able to find the cause tho, I don't believe I have anything that messes with tooltips.

ok after many experiments i found that enabling this mod while having other mods enabled causes the errors on hovering over certain items (billboards,hunting vests...any other vanilla vest...etc) and not being able to wear them

Here are the mods i believe cannot play nice with this mod and vice versa
Snakes mod pack
Authentic-Z Lite
Britas Armor pack
G.E.A.R Core/Basic
Noir Attachments
Bow and Arrow
Night Vision-API
there might be others

Every time an error appears i would hit ESC and look in the mod list from lower right corner for offending mods(i was in debug mode),as soon i disabled the offending mod for example Bow and Arrow (it's red in the list) i would reset the game start over and when the error appear again now it's a different mod and so on until no offending mods are left in the list but errors still appear,once i disable Dressing Time no more errors with all mods enabled

i cannot narrow it down to specific mod that conflicts with this one,i have 131 mods enabled no errors,enabling dressing time causes the errors to appear,i believe it has something to do with the code in this specific file SFDressClothingExtraAction.lua (i am not sure 100%) so by the powers vested in me as a person without extensive coding skills i here by summon a coding Wizard to take a look at these black magic shenanigans

Turns out i fixed the problem my self (pats self on the back)...

in the file DressingTime\media\lua\shared\NPCs\BodyLocations.lua

Under CreateLocation = { starting from line 5 ending at line 74 there is a list of "locations"

there needs to be a definition added "TorsoExtraVest", and all the problems stoped

hope it helps others

For the 41.77 version one needs to add additional lines to BodyLocations.lua that where added in the latest update to avoid "Red Box" spam when hovering over certain clothing items

"Jacket_Bulky",
"JacketHat_Bulky",
"JacketSuit",
