[posila] Deserialisation: unexpected symbol near "."

doktorstick · Post by **doktorstick** » Mon Oct 10, 2016 11:54 am

Version: 0.14.13. Map Version: 0.14.13-2. Game started around 0.14.10.

Error while running deserialisation: [string "do local _={regionMap={[1]={[1]={[1]=7.840999..."]:1: unexpected symbol near '.'

Main save and three autosaves all have this error. I updated to 0.14.13 and played for a while. I don't know if it happened on the first save or a later one. The log, save, and mods are attached (sans the really big ones--hd-music and waitex).

Seems like the mod 'Rampant_0.14.3' is causing this issue,

Somehow the mod table has become misformed

I've noticed that `do local _ = ` stuff appearing in serpent.dump() since 0.14.12 or 0.14.13, did something change in serpent or did it always behave that way?

Okay, thanks. I've posted in the Rampant thread. It appears someone else has seen the same problem.

Do you have a notion on what can cause this? Is it how a mod stores it's global data, and what--as mod authors--can we do to mitigate this problem?

It has always worked that way.

I have no idea how to reproduce the issue. If you or someone else finds out how to reproduce it and it's not a mod doing something weird let us know.

Thanks for the report.
Cause of the error should be fixed for 0.14.14.
However the save will load only if you disable mod that has corrupted data. Then you can save it again and re-enable the mod.
