Can't get pass loading screen when opening project inside of Godot tabletop-3.5.3

[GustavoLR548]

Describe the bug I'm trying to run the project inside of the Godot Engine, but I can't get pass the loading screen, as if the game it is stuck loading its assets.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Compiled the Godot Engine as specified the in the documentation
2. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.6/development/compiling/compiling_for_x11.html
3. I used the tabletop-3.5.3 version
4. Remembered to add the godot module (I installed the master branch)
5. Compiled everything using scons platform=x11
6. Cloned the tabletop_club project from the source code of version 0.1.2
7. Opened in Custom Godot.
8. Click on "Launch"
9. Infinite loading screen appeared

Expected behavior It was suppose to take me to the menu screen, but it instead it is stuck on the "LoadingScreen.tscn"

Screenshots This is the point where the game is stuck

Here is the terminal output:

Here is the lines in question, first is 1343

and here is 511

Environment Linux 6.10.1-arch1-1 Gnome, Wayland

Version Godot Version: tabletop-3.5.3 (from drwhut/godot) Module version: tabletop-club-godot-module (master branch)

If I forgot anything, please let me know

First things first, v0.1.2 of Tabletop Club uses the tabletop-3.4.5 branch of my custom fork of Godot, not tabletop-3.5.3 (which is only being used in the development of v0.2.0).

Secondly, I think the reason you're getting that error is because of a mismatched module version - the custom module went through a re-write for v0.2.0, and so the current master version will not work with v0.1.2.

To be absolutely safe, you can use this command to download the right branch, including the right version of the custom module:

git clone --depth 1 --recursive https://github.com/drwhut/godot.git -b tabletop-3.4.5

It sounds like you have already found the documentation, but here is a link to the stable version of the docs, which should work for the version of the game you're trying to compile.

Let me know if this works!

Oh wow, thanks for the quick response! I'll definitely follow the steps you provided and check if everything works correctly. I'll update you with the results as soon as I have them.

Hi!

Just as a heads up, I was able to successfully compile and run Tabletop Club with no issues, thanks to your support :)

Some things that I would like to say before closing this issue

1 - I had a strange problem, were a thirdparty library called "vhacd" was returning some problems during compilation, It was accusing of a missing import in the file "vhacdlCHull.h". I just added the import and it fixed everything. I don't know how this happened, but I thought it was relevant to mention. 2 - This information of which versions of the game, the godot and module could be more explicit explained in the documentation. Even with this page here I was still very much confused on which version I should use. Maybe adding a reference table or something would already help, like this.

Godot version	Tabletop version	Module
tabletop-3.4.x	0.1.x	3.4
tabletop-3.5.x	0.2.x	master branch

Once again, thank you very much for your help, and have a very nice day :+1:

Glad to hear it! :grin:

I'm not sure what to make of the vhacd issue, I've never personally encountered it myself - maybe it's something to do with the way it's installed on your distribution? Out of interest, which distribution do you use?

At some point when the 0.2-rewrite branch gets merged into master (hopefully sooner rather than later...), I was planning to revisit the entire documentation, so I'll definitely keep your recommendation in mind, as it would make it explicitly clear which Godot branch should be used for which Tabletop Club version :+1:

[GustavoLR548]

Hey!

It's possible that my distribution might be part of the reason. To answer your question, I use Crystal Linux.

I'm excited to see what the 0.2 update will bring. The project is in great hands, so I'm expecting some great improvements. If the opportunity arises (and I have the right skills), I'd love to contribute to the source code or documentation. 😅

Have a great day!
