Error immediately on selecting "Custom Character"

[MarcusVoelker]

As the title says, when trying to create a Custom Character, the error below occurs and the game returns to the main menu.

The game is a fresh install of F-3 via catapult

 DEBUG    : Error: Json error: data/mods/Sky_Islands/EOCs.json:3:12: unrecognized JSON object

Contrary to what the game claims, there is no full stack trace at the path it gives me, so this is all I have

Seems like a cool mod but I get the same message. I'm running Arch, and installed Cataclysm via AUR (terminal version), and git cloned this repo into ~/.local/share/cataclysm-dda/mods/CDDA-Sky-Islands/. The mod seems to load fine in cataclysm and world generation, but immediately after picking 'Custom Character' the error message above shows. None of the alternatives in character creation is working. No other mods is loaded. Default world generation settings. Ideas?

I got this too, windows 10 64-bit.

Installed and ran via cdda launcher with mod copied in. Just the basic includes: dark days ahead disable NPC needs bionic professions sky island

The problem is right here: VERSION : 0.F-3 You're using the stable release version, which is over a year old. This mod will only run on the new experimental version. Any release from within the past couple weeks should probably run fine.

Compiling latest source of cataclysm solved this issue for me. Thanks!

[MarcusVoelker]

Same here. Might I suggest updating the README to reflect this?

Good suggestion. Fixed in 4564855
