Running gamemode

[Vac95]

I recently found this gamemode and would like to pick it up and work on it. However I saw that it was in the process of a massive rewrite regarding items. Was there a working copy before this rewrite was started?

I'm pretty sure the item rewrite was done already with maybe small, insignificant bugs.

I tried launched the gamemode and encountered some small bugs that I could fix, however I ran into problems with both the meta:index(key) and meta:newindex(key, value) functions as when it attempts to use rawget(self, "__nwvars")[key] it errors out and I have been unable to fix it.

Here's the relevant file and lines https://github.com/JetBoom/noxiousrpg/blob/master/gamemode/obj_item.lua#L54

What's the exact error?

[Vac95]

So currently you get the following error for items that have ITEM_NW_VAR_NAME defined in them

[ERROR] gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:16: attempt to get length of field '__nwvars' (a nil value)
  1. ITEM_NW_VAR - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:16
   2. ITEM_NW_VAR_NAME - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:23

         8. include - [C]:-1
          9. unknown - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/init.lua:58

If you comment it out the error goes away and the gamemode is able to be started without any errors. However then once you join you receive the following error which is where I'm stuck.

[ERROR] gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:77: attempt to index local 'nwvars' (a nil value)
  1. __newindex - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:77

Commenting it isn't really a fix since that's an integral part of the system. I committed a change.

[Vac95]

Yea, that's true. However I just downloaded the update and still am running into the same problem

[ERROR] gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:15: attempt to get length of field '__nwvars' (a nil value)
  1. ITEM_NW_VAR - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:15
   2. ITEM_NW_VAR_NAME - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:22

        7. unknown - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/shared.lua:30
         8. include - [C]:-1
          9. unknown - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/init.lua:58

The following files are causing it and all have ITEM_NW_VAR_NAME

brain.lua foot.lua hand.lua head.lua heart.lua jaw.lua junk.lua rib.lua scapula.lua skull.lua spine.lua torso.lua

Ok, this one should fix it.

Still getting the following error

[ERROR] gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:79: attempt to index local 'nwvars' (a nil value)
  1. __newindex - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/obj_item.lua:79

     4. SetupPlayerDefaults - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/init.lua:869
      5. unknown - gamemodes/noxiousrpg/gamemode/init.lua:878

[JetBoom]

Try now. Anything more and you'll have to fix it yourself.

[Vac95]

Thanks for taking the time to help, I really do appreciate it. There is a new error so I'll try to debug it.

[Vac95]

Figured I'd just add on to this in case anyone checks out the gamemode later. The following error is in relation to here which is caused by some item attempting to look up it's parent value when it doesn't exist as the table looks like below. You can see that the key value is parent however it isn't actually mapped to an object.

bits    =       32
default =       0
index   =       0
key     =       Parent

read    =       function: 0x266cbe38
write   =       function: 0x266cb6a8
