How do I read the crash log? (Solved)

[Thop]

I installed a few mods from the workshop but Starbound won't launch now. I've been able to use the crash log to help guess my way to a solution int he past but no luck this time.

So I'm wondering if there's a guide somewhere on how you can figure out which mod causes crashes. Ctrl F and typing in "error" can only get me so far...

Update: So the item "HScrap" is causeing the problem... now how do I figure out which mod has it?

Read the error lines, see if any of them mention anything you can use. For instance, if it mentions "ironsword", the mod adding "ironsword" is conflicting.

There's generally a stack trace at the bottom. (The part with the [x] at the beginning of a bunch of lines, with x being a number.) You can look for things like monster in it to get an idea what kind of mod causes it.

It's easiest when the problem file has a descriptive name.

Been looking over it for half an hour and nothing. I've uninstalled all the mods I added before I tried to launch and nothing came of it. Here's the log.

celestial.config is trying to use an HScrap item. You either need to remove the mod with the config, or add the mod with the HScrap.

Problem is I have no idea what mod it comes from. Since it has the term "Scrap" I figued it could be one of my two TF2 mods, but one of them I've had on since I started with this charectar, and the other I tried installing and uninstalling.

At this moment I am only using the mods that the game successfully launched with, however I am unsure as to which one has HSrap in it. Is there a way to identify the mod?

You could try the method of disable half your mods, if it still crashes then disable half more if it doesn't enable the other half, narrowing it down to a few mods.

Alright found the mod! Here's the line of code:

[08:45:29.532] [Error] Could not apply patch from file /interface/optionsmenu/optionsmenu.config.patch in source: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\211820\754477562\contents.pak. Caused by: (JsonPatchException) Could not apply patch to base. (JsonPatchException) Could not apply operation to base. (TraversalException) No such key 'zoomList' in pathApply("/zoomList/0")

I realized I had a zoom mod installed that didn't work, but it's been installed for ages and I have no idea why it would act up now, nor do I know what HScrap is.

So in the future, how do I identify a mod from this information?
(x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\211820\754477562

I mean there has to be some way of finding it right?

That ID at the end is the same as the mod's page on the workshop if you look at the browser's URL.

Alright, I could have sworn I tried that but I guess not. Thanks for the help everybody!
