Brewlan "Empty map" issue [SOLVED]

[Luxcerv]

Whenever I use any iteration of the brewlan mod (to what I think is properly installed/installed as told to) there are no acu's, no mass extractors, the only visual part of the ui is the score, which shows no names.

Being that this is my favourite mod and that it works perfectly with heaps of other mods, I would like to know what I can do to get it working again.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hello Luxcerv,

your error sounds like a wrong game version.

Try Brewlan with SupCom vanilla/steam, not with FAF.

If you want to contact the developer, this is the Git-Hub page of BrewLan:
https://github.com/The-Balthazar/BrewLAN

I dont know, if he is active. The last commit was on 13 Jul 2017

Hello Uveso,

The mod was actually working roughly 8~ hours before posting this on the forums, I reinstalled the mod due to accidentally sending the mod files to a friend without having my own copy and suddenly it was completely incompatible- I am however going to try reinstall faf client just incase I accidentally messed with those files.

Update: Re-installing faf didn't work, was there any sort of ninja update to faf that would of caused incompatibilities?

Update 2: Using the "Faf Beta" game mod, all mods work fine. Issue only persists in current faf game hosting.

Hello Luxcerv,

there is more then only one errror inside the log. Hard to say, if they all are from the last game update.
I never played BrewLan, so i can't say what is normal and what is not.

Sadly i don't have much time the next 2 weeks. (until 28.Aug)
But i will take a look at it as soon as i have time.

This will not be a fix, but we know whats going on then.

Greetings, uveso.

Hello Uveso,

I think the issue is conflictions with the recently introduced ui mods to the FAF client, just speculation after glancing over those errors.

Hello Luxcerv,

well the error is triggered by 3 BrewLan units without a faction:

Code: Select all

warning: Error in file /lua/RuleInit.lua : ...faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\system\blueprints.lua(496): bad argument #1 to `upper' (string expected, got nil)

If we take a closer look into the blueprint.lua file at line 496, we will find this code line:

Code: Select all

bp.FactionCategory = string.upper(bp.General.FactionName)

If we have a unit without a FactionName inside the blueprint, we get an error, because you cant build a upper case string from an empty string.

I fixed the line with an failsave and added it on the top of the modded blueprint.lua file from BrewLan.

please download this file:

Blueprints.lua

(35.95 KiB) Downloaded 163 times

and overwrite the original file inside your BrewLan mod:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods\BrewLAN\hook\lua\system\Blueprints.lua

Greetings, Uveso.

PS: We will fix this in the next FAF version.

Thanks a bunch Uveso, and thanks for your active participation in the forums from what I've seen, you serve as a great member of this community.

Thanks man, I play with BrewLAN frequently and been grappling with crash issues with FAF for a year or more.

Tried this, didn't solve the issue for the empty map on my game with FAF and BrewLAN together.
