Mod causing WB to crash on map load/new map

[rhettrongun]

Worldbuilder was working fine earlier today. I've been troubleshooting a rather large mod with it, and presumably fixed a a big problem concerning disordered UNIT IDs. When I try to use WB with the corrections in place now, I get a crash of somewhat varied look. I attached a screenshot below. The error report is consistent.

Spoiler :

Application: World Builder

Anyone come across this and have an idea of what causes it?

Perhaps there is a more glaring string of bugs in my mod that only became evident after I cleared up the UNIT ID trouble. This happens even if I select "New Map" with it enabled.

Here is the database.log:

Edit: The game itself will load on a basic/bare map with mod enabled, albeit with a slew of issues. I might try clearing up some of the issues, and then see if that allows WB to work.

[2330.374] near "DELETE": syntax error

This is most likely an indication of a fatal error in loading an SQL file. Unfortunately when an SQL file within a mod fails to load because of code errors you generally seem only to get these really unhelpful messages.

I would assume part of your code is still not loading correctly. You may have 'dangling' or orphaned bits of code that are causing Worldbuilder to fail.

I would verify that the error in Worldbuilder is originating from the mod by dis-abling the mod in the MODS menu, and starting a throw-away game:

1. turn off the mod in the MODS menu
2. go forward in the modded game set-up process as if you were starting a new modded game, just without the mod in question active.
3. Once you get to the "Start Your Journey" point in starting an entirely new game, click it, and then afterward just exit from the game directly to desktop. Don't go back to main menu, exit directly to desktop.
   • This should clear the changes made by your trouble-mod from the game's database, but preserve the changes being made by any other mod(s) you normally run with or intend to use alongside your trouble mod.
4. look at your database.log file to see if the message quoted above is still there or is gone.
   • if still there, it is a problem in some other mod you are also running.
   • if gone, it is a problem in your mod
5. Now try to start Worldbuilder and see if you still have troubles with it. Any map that relied on your trouble-mod and that you had partially completed in Worldbuilder may not want to load properly because it would be missing the elements from the mod that appears to be giving you trouble.

Thanks for the help!

I went ahead and did what you suggested, and was able to eliminate this guy

near "DELETE": syntax error

. The stuff at the top is buried somewhere in the supplement mod. It's useful to know where to start on clearing those items at least.

Looking at this again, I have several out of date files that are likely leading to the WB crash. I don't know what specifically is causing it. I suppose I'll have to resort to some time consuming trial and error.

I don't think my mod was even fully enabled before, as it wouldn't show up as check-marked under the mods menu in WB. As soon as I fixed the unit ID problem, it began showing up as checked, but this was also when the crash appeared.
