Failed to find Verse.ThingDef named Gun_RailgunMKI.

[TehGOOSE]

I noticed there was an error similar to this back in January but I had no issue prior to patch, just wanted to start new game today. Got recent patch and went to start new game and pretty much after every new menu when trying to start a game the error pops

I have no save game file, the error pops up before I Start.

Thanks for all you do!

I also had this error. Found that the Gun_RailgunMK1 file was missing a linefeed/carriage return. I added the additional line and my file loaded with no issues.

PS - I also removed the railgun file and tried to load without it first before making the adjustment if that end up mattering.

Location should be: [Steam/Modpath]\Defs\WeaponExtensionDefs Filename: WeaponExtensionDef_Gun_RailgunMKI.xml

[TehGOOSE]

Where did you add the carriage return? would love to continue playing myself!

[JamesStrife]

oops, my mistake. it was at the end. You can find the call out in the commit: 9dffb72

[TehGOOSE]

I don't know enough to do what needs to be done. Ill just have to practice my patience :-p

[JamesStrife]

That is the note from the commit.

To make the change, go to the file location I noted above (for me it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\818322128\Defs\WeaponExtensionDefs) I didn't put the full path because I'm not sure that Steam gives the same ids or if they are random.

Once in that location, open the file (WeaponExtensionDef_Gun_RailgunMKI.xml). You will most likely have to right-click it and choose either "edit" or "open with"(then choose Notepad).

Once you have the file open, simply add the return(hitting Enter on the keyboard) after the last character. So after the ">" on the last line.

oh Thats what I did in notepad and notepad++ thought I just misunderstood, I must have other issues too.

Same Issue. Thanks anyways.

Thank you for reporting, I guess the cause for the error is the line <descriptionHyperlinks IsNull="True" /> Please remove it for now. It's a new variable by RW 1.0 which is added by default, I wasn't aware that also the gun received it. I'm working on a solution to remove this error for good.

[TehGOOSE]

Happy to help!

I'm striking out, I've tried doing what suggested above, and I tired just deleting the line above, but the error keeps popping up w/ error window.

I just recently started playing the game so not sure if ignoring the error popups is as forgiving as it can be in other games so Ill just patiently wait for the fix.

Thanks for your reply and hard work!

I tried adding a carriage return and verified editor did not strip on save. No love. I tried removing that line. No love. I did delete the file, and that worked. Of course, in a new game and the possibility of that being a weapon in my game is nil. Unsure what will happen if one does exist in a game of mine later. I'm also not sure if the error was benign anyway, as I had no crashes with it. Using the edit button during character creation won't work with the file deleted. So I found that out.
