Hey all,

While loading my mod, I'm getting a JSON parse error that I can't read fully -it cuts off the file name on a black screen- and it's making it incredibly difficult to find my problem (among other things, I can't read which line of data is causing the issue).

Sadly, trying to read the entire file is a tedious task, and two hours of wasted time were spent in attempting (and failing) to locate the missing value (see error below).

I've turned on the Debug Output, but it doesn't show the error, or if it is, I can't see it. Supposedly there exists a log file of the Output, but I can't find it, and digging through Google/Reddit/forums aren't yeilding an answer.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

For reference, here is a copy of the error (what I can read of it):

Assert Failed:

(!outValue.HasParseError()

Json::ParseAndValidateJsonFromFile in json_helper.cpp line 37

JSON parse errors were found in [file location and name, which cuts off midway]
Errors: Expect a value here.

Howdy all!

The name's Jakdaw, or Jak if you prefer. I enjoyed DD enough that I got curious about Modding, and discovered how simple it is compared to other games! It's a great opportunity for me; I've wanted to program for games (maybe even my own) since I was 10 years old. Alas, a couple decades have passed and life has thrown one challenge after another, so it never happened. I sincerely hope this is a start of a great hobby/career(??)!

ATM, I'm in the midst of crafting a 'semi-DLC' where I intend to introduce new content and mechanics that try to tie to the game and its story. I'm already rolling out the first piece of content, and have a few testers I know personally that are helping. I don't know when I'll release to the public yet (I'll need to quit being antisocial, LOL). I'm also hopeful that I can get a Spine license in the near future so I can take a stab at making my own art assets! Not that I have any art training at all. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh?

I'm not sure what I hope to gain here, but it seemed silly not to put myself out there and get to know the modding community better. So, hi! Hope we get along well in the future.

All the best,
- Jakdaw

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to trying it out on my next Character.
