Add-ons not loading the ones that I've selected
This is something that I think more than a few people have encountered: somehow, the add-ons, or GUI gets corrupted, and the add-ons that you select when creating a game are not actually selected. The only way to tell that it isn't working is to start the game, and then realize that (e.g., random recruit) isn't working. The only way that I've figured out how this can get fixed is to mass delete and then re-install add-ons, but sometimes it doesn't seem to work.
Is there a known way to fix it? A known reason for why this happens? It's a very annoying, game-breaking bug.

Re: Add-ons not loading the ones that I've selected
A very old bug. It's caused by some of the mods defining itself twice.

You can try to delete add-ons one by one to determine which one is breaking things

Re: Add-ons not loading the ones that I've selected
Addon server rules do not allow addons that break something like that.

But I have dozens of add-ons, so that doesn't help much. Good to know though.dwarftough wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 1:11 am A very old bug. It's caused by some of the mods defining itself twice.

I'm pretty sure this has happened when I only had add-ons from the server.
Re: Add-ons not loading the ones that I've selected
You might be able to find an error message in your log file which indicates which add-on is causing the issue.cupcakes wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 6:49 pmBut I have dozens of add-ons, so that doesn't help much.dwarftough wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 1:11 am You can try to delete add-ons one by one to determine which one is breaking things
According to https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/6780 there should be a message in the log file that looks like this:
Code: Select all
error config: found modification with id=Dead_Bodies twice

Re: Add-ons not loading the ones that I've selected
Yeah. I start Wesnoth from command line, so I see those. When not from command line, I guess yeah, should be written to some log filesgnombat wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 7:17 pmYou might be able to find an error message in your log file which indicates which add-on is causing the issue.cupcakes wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 6:49 pmBut I have dozens of add-ons, so that doesn't help much.dwarftough wrote: ↑August 2nd, 2023, 1:11 am You can try to delete add-ons one by one to determine which one is breaking things
