Custom assets

[Chimera005ao]

My custom assets load fine when running through the editor, but when trying to open the mod without the editor, it can't seem to find the models and aborts.
The error log:

[string "Monster.lua"]:0: File not found: mod_assets/models/monsters/magma_slime.model

File not found: mod_assets/models/monsters/magma_slime.model

that's pretty much all you need to know .. and resolve.

Yes, I understand that.
What I don't understand is why the dungeon editor finds them without a problem, but the game itself does not.

It's case sensitivity based error - visit viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5704 for more info.

[Chimera005ao]

Seems kind of odd that one has the problem, while the other does not, but thank you very much.

[msyblade]

leki is (as usual) spot on . my guess is that the .model has a capital M

Windows doesn't care about case, but Lua does... The game even distinguishes between single and double quotes in some instance.
Always check the case of everything; especially if you've cut & pasted code (paths and parts of definitions).

[msyblade]

I will not guarantee, but i will assure you, It is as simple as a case sensitive issue. Something is capitalized, and the script "assumes" it shouldn't be.
