ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Lua Error: /engine/utils.lua:1534: cannot open /data-opt_in_adventurers/timed_effects.lua: No error

This is probably the first time I've had an error with it, and it's quite upsetting. I've come to depend on it...

if fs.exists('/data-zomnibus') then
  TimedEffects:loadDefinition('/data-zomnibus/opt_in_adventurers_timed_effects.lua')
else
  TimedEffects:loadDefinition('/data-opt_in_adventurers/timed_effects.lua')
end

--if fs.exists('/data-zomnibus') then
  TimedEffects:loadDefinition('/data-zomnibus/opt_in_adventurers_timed_effects.lua')
--else
--  TimedEffects:loadDefinition('/data-opt_in_adventurers/timed_effects.lua')
--end

For some reason the fs.exists check returns false, even though /data-zomnibus apparently exists (?), making the script load the latter file which doesn't exist.

Zizzo wrote:No such file. I vaguely remember that one being Windows-specific; I'm on Linux. [And yes, that means still no Steam update; I can assure you that I'm just as annoyed about this as you are, if not more...]

pollyzoid wrote:edit: Oh, the Steam install log. If it's the same as terminal output, you can just run Steam's t-engine binary from terminal, it behaves the same as when launched from Steam.

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; no appID found.
Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.

pollyzoid wrote:hopefully final edit: Dug around a bit. The error only happened with the original tome-zomnibus_31.teaa, but stopped if I extracted or edited it, so I couldn't debug it by editing the addon itself. So I extracted the game engine, edited and repacked, adding some debug prints in util.loadfilesmods.
fs.list('/') does show /data-zomnibus when the error happens, it's just fs.exists that returns false. I also tried printing the local virtualimages table, but it was apparently empty (might be the cause? I have no idea what the table does).

Or at least the part that causes 'forgetting to equip it before entering the world map makes all adventurer parties actively chase you like frigging paparazzi'? Seems like a suitable mechanic to be tweaked by Zomnibus. Possibly also the latter part as an addition to opt-in adventurers?

(Or is this done already and I'm ignorant?)

I'm trying out vile life (which might be the only one). I had it on my corruptor, but the reaver started after doesn't have it listed. Sure it's an easy fix, and might even be fixed already, just thought I'd throw it out.

random417 wrote:Right, but it should be in the Talent Point Planner, so I can plan for it. I did find it on another char, so it should be revealed in the point planner, yes?

Zizzo wrote:As always, the dialog won't show you the Corruption/Vile Life (and now Cursed/Cursed Aura) trees until it can confirm that you've seen them, which unfortunately for now means actually obtaining them with a character while the addon is in play. [I thought I had a way to mark them as seen from a separate debug-mode character, but that doesn't appear to stick for non-debug characters.] We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™
