Friday night funkin character problem

[KaptainChris]

Describe your problem here.

I am using the psych engine and when I go into chart editor the character, I am making is working fine, but when I add it to a story mode song in Freeplay it just goes into this java scrip thing that I don't know how to fix it! I don't know anything about the modding source and target so ignore that if you see it!

Are you modding a build from source or with Lua?

Lua

What is your build target?

Windows x64

Did you edit anything in this build? If so, mention or summarize your changes.

No response

[KaptainChris]

I am new to modding the psych engine, so everything is new to me and difficult! If you need more information, say it below in a comments!

[TheKitBoi]

missing image file tell us where

[KaptainChris]

Where could I find it?

[KaptainChris]

I have added the image of the character in the mod character section, assets, character

[KaptainChris]

I feel like I added it everywhere possible! The assets outside of the mods folder and inside the mods folder!

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi where should I go to not have the missing image file?

[TheKitBoi]

from the character you made

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi I think I found the problem and it's with the .json file! I saved it from the character editor and added it on to the characters in the correct place it's just that there is a problem with the file, and I don't know if you need to save your character a different place. I can't talk right now because I have to do other things, but I will ping you when I get back and I am ready to do more things. You can leave your answer here and wait for me to speak.

[TheKitBoi]

is the image file name same as the json input

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi for some reason when i get out of the tabs in the files and go back the capital letters change to the little l when I had it to this L

[BernardoGP4504]

I have added the image of the character in the mod character section, assets, character

The image is supposed to be in mods/images/characters or assets/shared/images/characters

[KaptainChris]

Ok I will try to do that!

[KaptainChris]

@BernardoGP4504 every time I try to rename the image inside of mods/images/characters it keeps on renaming itself to have a capital letter on it when it's not supposed to! Do I have to remake the sprite and rename it something else?

First rename it without the first letter then put the letter back

[BernardoGP4504]

it keeps on renaming itself to have a capital letter on it when it's not supposed to!

Also that's a issue from Windows itself

[KaptainChris]

@BernardoGP4504 it only works in when I am charting a song from the menu, but when I go to the actual song in Freeplay it doesn't work! Is that a bug or is that how it works?

Wdym? The character doesn't appear in the song or the character doesn't work?

did u even save the json

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi I don't know if I saved it correctly, but I saved it to my computer and it's on here and it's in files! I don't know if I have to save it a different way if there is tell me!

[TheKitBoi]

which location

[BernardoGP4504]

@TheKitBoi I don't know if I saved it correctly, but I saved it to my computer and it's on here and it's in files! I don't know if I have to save it a different way if there is tell me!

The json has to go in mods/characters But the spritesheet and xml goes in mods/images/characters

[KaptainChris]

@BernardoGP4504 I did exactly that and took it away from unneeded places and it still doesn't work. The files are correctly renamed and everything and it only works in chart editor and not in Freeplay

[BernardoGP4504]

But what do you mean by "doesn't work"?

[KaptainChris]

@BernardoGP4504 It still shows the same picture as above (the JavaScript logo) in normal Freeplay mode while in the chart editor the sprite works really well! this is psych engine by the way if it changes anything

[TheKitBoi]

then did you even save the chart

[TheKitBoi]

also send the script code

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi I didn't really code I looked at tutorials about making a mod without code and I used xml sheets

[BernardoGP4504]

[TheKitBoi]

rename .json to .txt and send it here

[BernardoGP4504]

@TheKitBoi FlowLab.-.Notepad.2023-02-13.15-11-56.mp4

Maybe try removing the loop animations (since you're not using them) and make sure the XML names on the json are right

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi How do I do that because for me it doesn't work?

[BernardoGP4504]

@TheKitBoi How do I do that because for me it doesn't work?

Create a copy of the json (Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V) then make sure you have "show file extensions" enabled then rename .json on the file to .txt then send it here

[KaptainChris]

It is not working for me to get the extension because I need something I don't have on the computer :(

[BernardoGP4504]

It is not working for me to get the extension because I need something I don't have on the computer :(

Just go in the file explorer settings and enable file extensions from there

[KaptainChris]

@BernardoGP4504 @TheKitBoi YOOO I DID IT :DDDDDDD There you go! FlowLab - Copy.txt

[TheKitBoi]

i may need the image files for easier fixing

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi I can show you a video of the XML files so you can see, but I can't share it to you directly

[TheKitBoi]

FlowLab.txt here rename it to .json

[KaptainChris]

Still the same product on Freeplay mode.

[KaptainChris]

@TheKitBoi while it works in charting mode

[TheKitBoi]

show the chart your using

[KaptainChris]

What do you mean @TheKitBoi

[KaptainChris]

It is the "test" song, and I am using psych engine to chart this mod.

[TheKitBoi]

then did u even save the chart

[KaptainChris]

No

[KaptainChris]

Was I supposed to for it to work?

[TheKitBoi]

you need to save the chart to get the char working

[TheKitBoi]

yes save the chart

[KaptainChris]

Well, I was looking for the animations to work.
