The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain!

Marshall18 · Apr 11, 2013

Thank you so much. I just jumped into the modding universe and this tool is really useful

iamjmph · Apr 14, 2013

this is an amazing tool. thank you for taking time to work on it.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to make this able to check save files? Spending hours editing a save file only to find out you made a mistake somewhere is annoying... being able to just run a check to find the errors in a save would be much better than going through every change you made scanning for them....

Thanks, that solved my issues with it refusing to check some mods.
However, one request: Would it be possible to have it not list the errors of dependencies? When I'm checking PB+SWMH I really don't care about the errors in PB or SWMH, just the compatch.

Program won't run right for me. Installed latest NET framework and made sure it was in repair. Tried d/ling more than once, and both 1.2 and 1.3 versions. Tried installing to other directories, etc. WHen it first starts I can enter a path but then nothing. When closing program it crashes.

This would not be too hard but it would take some time. It depends on if there is enough interest about it. So, if someone wants this they should comment about it.

Does it not work right now when you choose "Show main mod errors"?

sadly i dont think there is much interest... i did a search of the thread before posting and only one other person mentioned checking saves.... but hey i hope i'm wrong. If i knew anything about it id just ask your permission to do it myself, but well, i would have no clue how to go about it... here's hoping, and thanks for both the response and the willingness to do the work!

I downloaded this thingie to track down a particularly evasive bug in my little home-brewn mod, and it's awesome!

Found a tiny bug though: If I click the "more info" button on an error post, then fixes the error, clicks recompile so it shows no error, then click recompile again a fatal error occures.

Hmm, I fixed a bug that sounds similar, hopefully that was what you found.

Thanks.
I think it is about time for me to just list every error report and false positive that annoys me in some way

At <mod>\history\characters\norwegian.txt [102531\1066.9.14\effect\spawn_unit[3]\province] (Line 835, Column 5):
"995" is not a valid ThisProv, LandProvince, or ThisChar.
spawn_unit works fine in sea provinces, assuming only ships are spawned. It might be possible to spawn soldier on ships as well, but I have not checked.

At <mod>\history\characters\PB.txt [9999999] (Line 1, Column 1):
No birth found for character.
No idea why I'm getting this, since I've got a birth-date defined:
1.1.1={
birth="1.1.1"
}

At <mod>\events\PB_historical.txt [letter_event[1]\option[1]\hidden_tooltip\k_rum\de_jure_liege] (Line 683, Column 14):
"0" is not a valid ThisChar, ThisTitle, or AnyTitle.
0 is definitely a valid value for the de_jure_liege command.

At <mod>\events\PB_various.txt [character_event[3]\option[1]] (Line 243, Column 2):
Invalid node "revoke_law" in scope Option (value is: the_crusade_target)
revoke_law works fine in the Option scope.

At <mod>\events\PB_various.txt [letter_event] (Line 719, Column 1):
The event is set to be triggered only, but it is never called.
The event is triggered via an ambition.

At <mod>\events\plot_events.txt [letter_event[30]\option\reverse_opinion\who] (Line 2525, Column 4):
"FROMFROM" is not a valid ThisChar, OpinionClauseDefinedTypes, ThisProv, or ThisTitle.
reverse_opinion should work just fine with FROMFROM.

At <mod>\common\static_modifiers.txt [family_palace] (Line 423, Column 1):
Invalid node "retinuesize" in scope <anon> (value is: -100000)
retinuesize is perfectly valid from a holding scope.

At <mod>\common\objectives\00_plots.txt [plot_seize_trade_post\chance\modifier[10]\NOT\ROOT] (Line 1903, Column 5):
Invalid node "holder_scope" in scope ProvTrigger (value is: <a complex type>)
The scope for type = rep_trade_posts CBs isn't really a province scope, but a holding scope. Thus holder_scope is valid.

At <mod>\common\landed_titles\landed_titles.txt [b_ziani] (Line 6470, Column 1):
The string b_ziani was not found in localization.
The patrician baronies don't need localization as they use the dynasty's name.

That should cover near everything.
On another note, is it just me or is validation quite slow now? Before it'd take about 40s for all of PB, now it takes 95s. Even accounting for PB growing in size it seems that the Validator is slower than it used to be.

grallonsphere · May 11, 2013

I can't seem to make your tool view my mod...

EDIT: nevermind I found what was missing.

Jamie550 · May 15, 2013

@Meneth: Fixed them, except:

At <mod>\events\plot_events.txt [letter_event[30]\option\reverse_opinion\who] (Line 2525, Column 4):
"FROMFROM" is not a valid ThisChar, OpinionClauseDefinedTypes, ThisProv, or ThisTitle.
reverse_opinion should work just fine with FROMFROM.
- This accepts FROMFROM, but for some reason it doesn't think FROMFROM is valid in this specific situation, such as the FROMFROM not existing. This may point to a bug somewhere else

At <mod>\common\landed_titles\landed_titles.txt [b_ziani] (Line 6470, Column 1):
The string b_ziani was not found in localization.
The patrician baronies don't need localization as they use the dynasty's name.
- Hmm, sounds kind of hard to determine :/

On another note, is it just me or is validation quite slow now? Before it'd take about 40s for all of PB, now it takes 95s. Even accounting for PB growing in size it seems that the Validator is slower than it used to be.
- Yeah, it's received more checks and stuff so it's likely to be slower.

Meneth · May 20, 2013

Rather annoying false-positive:
At <mod>\events\waylit_siege_events.txt [character_event[5]\option[1]\FROMFROM\holder_scope\limit\at_location] (Line 1708, Column 6):
"FROMFROM" is not a valid ThisProv, ThisChar, or Province.

Getting that with "FROM" as well, despite the events working perfectly fine.

Another false positive: "num_of_baron_titles" is a valid condition, just like count, duke, etc.

The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain!

I sometimes do controversial things
