[1.194][ModSDK] ModSDK Build tries to load Workshop Mods from wrong location

LordTylus shared this bug 4 years ago
Solved

Hello there,

Due to the currently ongoing issue with AMD CPUs I am using the ModSDK build of the game for playing. And I noticed some odd behavior when connecting to Dedicated servers running mods.


I get error like this after connecting to Servers:

Took me a while to figure out but

C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\1406994352.sbm_TorchMod


Is the incorrect place to load mods from. I believe 2 Builds ago the default Workshop Location for mods was changed to the Steam Library


G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\1406994352\Data\Scripts\TorchMod


According to the Logs

The Mod was marked as up to date in the steam library

and then tries to load it from the APPDATA folder which will obviously fail for the Mod not being there.

Please fix :-)

I have spent the evening debugging the game via dnSpy and some help from Inflex to figure out where it came from.

First of all the game loads Mods from the correct location, its just the Log-Message thats wrong and confusing.


However the cause for the Mods not loading is actually invalid Documentation.

The difference is that the ModSDK build also emits PDB files for Debugging. Which for some reason also causes Roselyn to write XML Documentation.

PDB Files are super useful, XML Doku probably not. I tested a Modded server and it failed to load almost all mods with the the same error.


So all of these Mods have an invalid documentation.

Maybe its possible to configure Roselyn to not take care of documentation? Dunno


The exact Excetpion is an ArgumentOutOfRange when parsing Documentation (See Screenshots)

I also attached a test mod that will fail when being loaded via ModSDK Build but run fine on regular Build.
