DraggableUI: Conflicts with Notepad mod

[Tika96]

• For testing purposes I have removed all other mods.

• The mod DraggableUI causes an exception on startup. It tries to access the file "State.json" which does not exist on the first start. ( See below )

• I have tried to create an empty file "State.json" since I don't know what keys / values are provided in a regular "State.json" file.

• Unfortunately this doesn't help to bypass the startup fail. ( See below )

• Because I have only a very limited data volume per month, I am always playing offline. This causes some additional warnings in the output file. But it is not preventing me from playing: Without DraggableUI and with all other mods I am able to play ONI offline.

If you need additional information, please let me know.

Thanks for submitting the issue!

This mod does not include State.json file. it is created the first time you move some UI around. So your output_log with error about missing State.json is actually fine.

I've tested and it works without internet connection for me.

On the other hand invalid State.json seems to throw exception and crash on startup (second log was helpful here) and I fixed that issue with the latest version (71cfbe2).

I can't see a reason for the game to crash here other than this error (not really related to my mod though):

[22:24:43.377] [4] [WARNING] 23:40:13 KleiAccount: Exception getting Request Stream:Error: NameResolutionFailure
[22:24:43.377] [4] [WARNING] 23:40:13 KleiAccount: Exception (retrying in 32 seconds): Error: NameResolutionFailure

Above error didn't show up for me when I ran the game without internet connection.

Well you can try with this new version but I'm pretty sure it won't solve your main issue - only part where you ran the game with invalid State.json file. I think you should try new version and report back what happened (with new output_log).

Many thanks for your very quick response !

I will try it out this evening ( Germany, GMT+1 ) and will report how well it works.

The "KleiAccount Exception" is only a warning. I guess the game tries to refresh the MOTD or something like this. Don't know exactly. But since I have it every time I am playing ONI that warning and it doesn't enforce the game to restart, I don't care about it :) In a long game session this warning message appears several times ( every 5 min ? ).

Now, it works ... sort of ...

• I was able to start ONI with only DraggableUI active.

• The "State.JSON" was created within my test run.

• Enabling all other mods is still causing an error ( see below ). But I was now able to identify the cause.

• It's an conflict between your mod and the mod "Notepad".

• Disabling "DraggableUI" or "Notepad" will allow the game to start without any more serious errors ...

• ... which is pretty awesome if you consider the amount of mods I am using.

A single conflict among about 120 mods that what I would call a well done job ! :)

Do you want to contact the author of the "Notepad" mod ? Or do you want me to inform him about the conflict ?

Yours Tika

output_log - conflict DraggableUI - Notepad.txt

Amazing!

Apparently when Notepad mod comes last it crashes without error but it points to error in my code when its the other way around. Your output_log made it very simple.

Now I fixed that error but sadly for some reason my mod has to come after Notepad in the mod order. I think its probably because Notepad adds some custom UI.

No need to contact author of "Notepad", I will do that.

Thanks for the help, let me know if it works for you.

Looks like I can't replicate the problem with mod order of Notepad and DraggableUI anymore.

Let me know if you can.

[Tika96]

Just checked it :

For me it's still the same error message. But I don't know, if the freaking Steam mod update system has delivered the most updated versions of the two mods in question for me.

Addendum :

It doesn't matter if DraggableUI is loaded first or Notepad is the first mod in the list. The error message is not changing.

@Tika96: newest version of DraggableUI is 2.2.2

I think Steam Workshop fails to download correct version like it often does. Try download this file directly from repository:
https://github.com/EtiamNullam/Etiam-ONI-Modpack/blob/master/Mods/DraggableUI/DraggableUI.dll

Sadly it can break on the next mod update.

[Tika96]

The newest versions are working fine !

DraggableUI.DLL 2.2.2.0
Common.DLL 3.2.1.0

I have run a few times into another problem ( thx to Steam ) : Steam / ONI have always been overwriting the manually installed libraries. I could have flushed the download cache, but this would have forced me to go online ... with the result that Steam would re-download all subscribed mods again with sometimes outdated versions.

Luckily Steam / ONI did not mind that I have write protected the libraries at last.

Klei should really established an independent mod distribution service. Steam sucks.

My most important problem has now been solved: With so many mods, the research report window has been to large to fit on the screen. I have not been able to close the report window without saving > quiting to main menu > reloading the game ;)
But did you know, that the "property window" ( don't know the in-game name of it ) of resources is not saved ? E.g. clicking on a resource in the list repeatedly restores the position. I am able to move it. But cycling through a type of resources ( e.g. searching for a wild egg ) is a tedious task if the property window is always blocking the resource list again and again. But this is another story for another time ;)
