Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary

[Magiktako]

Hi,

So I was working on making a custom zone, jumping around between different zones for references. Wasn't having any issues switching to my custom zone through the console until suddenly I started getting a crash with the following error:

Error: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

Note that the local mod doesn't do anything, and I was not using any custom resources that I was aware of (only base game assets). I'm still figuring out modding for this game, does anyone with a bit more knowledge have any ideas as to what's going on?

Interesting. It looks to be a crash when the game tries to update the Location - is your zone linked to a Location? Does it have port unlockables, or maybe cafe hires, that refer to item or creatures that don't exist? "The given key was not present in the dictionary." generally means the game is looking for something that doesn't exist.

If the crash keeps persisting, you can email me mod files at radcodex at gmail and I can take a look.

I had a feeling that's what it was trying to say, it's strange considering I was working with base game assets.

I haven't linked it to any location on the map yet, and I haven't even added any NPCs yet. I'm not going to be at my computer for a while but when I get back I'm going to try and make a new zone the same size as my previous one and then paste all of the object data over just to see whether or not it's because of an object/terrain. I haven't gotten my hands into modding for a while now so it could be something dumb I'm not seeing.

Thanks for responding, really love the game! I'll update with my results when I get back to messing with it.

So I had some extra time to mess around with it and do what I said in my previous post, and all the object data copied over into the new zone fine, so it wasn't that. I believe it could have been an issue with terrain possibly? Because the new zone just has the default dirt terrain and nothing else. Either way, I will probably just redo the terrain quickly rather than try to get the original zone working again.

Thanks, glad you like the game!

Very strange... good to know the object data works though. I don't expect terrain will be the culprit, it's probably some complicated thing involving revisiting the zone under certain circumstances. Let me know if it recurs or you run into any other issues!

@SacreAcred It looks like a character has a status effect with a missing icon texture. If you're creating a mod, check if any ActorValues you created have a typo in the 'bubbleIcon' name.
