Sorry bud, everyone seem to have this problem and I don't think it's not going to be fixed because of no responses from the dev

so.. If you know how to unpack mods, this seems to be fixable by commenting out a line in WR.lua. If this does not ring a bell it may be hard to explain.

There is a tprint function which throws an error on line 268 (printing debug info about a weapon). Commenting this seems to fix it (I could upgrade a starter sword upto Iron).

-- debug function, prints table given
function tprint (tbl, indent)
--debbuging function

if not indent then indent = 0 end
for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
formatting = string.rep(" ", indent) .. k .. ": "
if type(v) == "table" then
sb.logInfo(formatting)
tprint(v, indent+1)
elseif type(v) == 'boolean' then
sb.logInfo(formatting .. tostring(v))
else
-- sb.logInfo(formatting .. v)/i]
end
end
end[/quote]

Check the quote for the line to comment (use -- to do that).

So, I've never specifically done what you mentioned before and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I would go find the mod in the steam/game files, then I would open up the file, and I would paste that entire message after line 268? Is that how I could fix this bug?

It works fine for me

Easier fix than editing.. someone put up a quick fix suplement addon for Weapon Reinforcer

Still keep your original weapon reinforcer, and just sub to this as well. Just until our fair author makes it back from the coding blackhole. <3
