Error-Messages mostly useless

Post by YuokiTani »

I would appreciate some useful error-messages ...

Image

i fighting until this point with 2 similar useless messages before, but now i give up. i can't track it down manual, because all looks okay in editor.

why not give a hint last valid path, *.lua crashing, or path-line thats wrong ?

of course here is the log ...

after 3 frustrating hours i tracked it down to

correct:
filename = "__yi_railway__/graphics/entity/railway/2a_cws_tf1_sheet.png",

wrong:
filename = {
"__yi_railway__/graphics/entity/railway/2a_cws_tf1_sheet-0.png",
"__yi_railway__/graphics/entity/railway/2a_cws_tf1_sheet-1.png",
}

because correct is:
filenames = {
"__yi_railway__/graphics/entity/railway/2a_cws_tf1_sheet-0.png",
"__yi_railway__/graphics/entity/railway/2a_cws_tf1_sheet-1.png",
}

and before someone say easy ... this snipset is part of a 300 lines file and not the only 300+ lines-file i changed today.

i thinked the whole time some file-path was wrong, but in this case i suppose sprite not found - error.

a error-message like "parameter mismatch", "method wrong use" in xy.lua would more useful

Ok, this is fixed for the next version (0.12.21 or 0.13).

This error is specific to rotated sprite, as other sprite structures use either filename or stripes.
