A bit of backstory behind the mod...
Playing as Kupe, i reached a point where i had enough GPP to recruit a Great Writer, but due to the Mana trait of Maori you are not allowed to get Great Writers, meaning i were soft locked as i could not end the turn.

So to fix this, i wanted to make a small mod that added a large negative sum of Great Writer point to the Mana trait, so that this issue never should happen again, but i'm currently getting a syntax error, which i can't seem to find the source of.

It says that there is a syntax error near ".", but the only dot in the xml, is from the auto-generated part that Modbuddy did.

Here is my Code.

Spoiler Xml Code :

And here is my Database.log.

What's around the [4235485.801] timestamp in the modding.log ?

In the modding.log at the point of the first syntax error in the database.log it says this

Spoiler Modding Log extract :

This is my first mod, so i do not yet fully understand how to trouble shoot issues.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give

not the error, the lines around [4235485.801], your extract start at [424

or get the new timestamps in the database.log if you've started a new game, and get the corresponding lines in modding.log.

or post both full logs from the same session if it's easier.

I had gotten the new timestamp in the database.log, as i had started a new game.

But here is the full database and modding log

block to see if the error changes.

The problem is almost certainly here

Code:

[4243803.354] Applying Component - Fix.Mäori (UpdateDatabase)

Action "id" names cannot contain period (.) symbols nor spaces nor I believe non-English-text characters, and they must begin with a letter of the English alphabet (uppercase or lowercase letters but not numbers). These particular types of errors have nothing to do with file contents, but you receive an error message in Database.log that looks like the sort of thing you get when you have an error within the contents of an SQL file.

Your Action "id" name violates at least two of the rules, so the game rejects the entire Action and generates an error in Database.log and Modding.log

Thanks for the help, you were right, period (and dash i found out) is not allowed in the name of the action. Time to actually play a game to a point where i can see if it actually works. If i find that it works, and they don't fix it in the upcoming update, then i will upload it to steam, until then it will stay my personal mod
