Couldn't find 'cl_init.lua'

[Monkey4TL]

I've been making a gamemode just to expand my knowledge towards LUA

in doing so i encountered a problem when trying to add external files.

ERROR:

[AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'cl_init.lua' (@gamemodes/gamedotrpg/gamemode/init.lua (line 1))
[AddCSLuaFile] Couldn't find 'shared.lua' (@gamemodes/gamedotrpg/gamemode/init.lua (line 2))
Couldn't include file 'shared.lua' (File not found) (@gamemodes/gamedotrpg/gamemode/init.lua (line 3))
Couldn't include file 'admins.lua' (File not found) (@gamemodes/gamedotrpg/gamemode/init.lua (line 4))

It confuses me how it works 1 minute then fails to work the next.

i have imported them like so:

AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
include("shared.lua")
include("Admins.lua")

are they empty? if they're empty they don't get found

[Monkey4TL]

[QUOTE=PortalGod;45678672]are they empty? if they're empty they don't get found[/QUOTE]

No, they are not empty, the cl_init & admins.lua have lines of code inside as does the shared

[editline]13th August 2014[/editline]

Heres the code inside each file

init.lua

AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
include("shared.lua")  
include("Admins.lua")

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
	
	
	ply:SetTeam ( 1 )
	getRank( ply )
   
	//if table.HasValue(Admins, ply:SteamID()) then
		if ply.IsAdmin() then
		ply:SetTeam( 2 )
		
	end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "LoadStats", function( ply )

if ply:GetPData( "LEVEL" ) == nil then
	ply:SetPData( "LEVEL", 1 )
	ply:SetNWInt( "LEVEL", 1 )
else
	ply:SetNWInt( "LEVEL", ply:GetPData() )
end

end)


function getRank(ply)

if table.HasValue(Admins, ply:SteamID()) then
ply.PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Your rank is Admin "..ply:GetPData( "LEVEL" ) )
else
ply.PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Your rank is Player" )
end
end

	

function setLevel( ply, text, public )
local x = ply:SteamID()
	if( string.sub( text, 1, 8) == "!getrank" ) then

			ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Your rank is admin." )
			ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Your rank is player." )			

	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "setLevel", setLevel )

cl_init

include('shared.lua') 
	
	
function hideHUD( name )
if name == "CHudHealth" or name == "CHudBattery" then

return false

end
end
hook.Add("HUDShouldDraw","hideHUD", hideHUD)

-- Heads Up Display Drawing
function RPHUD()
 level = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt( "LEVEL" )
 expGain = 100
 expNeed = 1000
 
 li = expNeed/expGain
 
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, surface.ScreenHeight()-25, surface.ScreenWidth(), 25, Color(125, 125, 155, 200))
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, surface.ScreenHeight()-25, surface.ScreenWidth()/li, 25, Color(255, 0, 0, 200))
draw.DrawText( "LEVEL ".. level .." ("..expGain.."/"..expNeed..")", HUDNumber, surface.ScreenWidth()/2, surface.ScreenHeight()-20, Color(255, 255, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)


end
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "RPHUD", RPHUD)

shared

GM.Name = "GameDotRPG"
GM.Auther = "N/A" 
GM.Email = "N/A"
GM.Website = "N/A"
 
team.SetUp( 1, "User", Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) )
team.SetUp( 2, "Admin", Color( 25, 255, 25, 255) )

Admins

--Add/Remove players from here keep in order
--DO NOT REMOVE Admins = {} as this is the table that holds the values of SteamIDs
--Copy and paste this for a template Admins[<number>] = "STEAMID HERE" -- Name of player

Admins = {}
Admins[1] = "STEAM_0:0:0" -- Offline/singleplayer client


 
local meta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )


function meta:IsLevel(LR)

	if self:GetNWInt( "LEVEL" ) == LR then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

function meta:SaveLevel()

 self:SetPData( "LEVEL", self:GetNWInt( "LEVEL" ) )

end

function meta:SetLevel(v)

self:SetNWInt( "LEVEL", v )
self:SaveLevel()
self.PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Your level has been updated" )

end

Make sure none of them have any Lua errors in them. Just scroll the console and look for any. Make sure all names are lowercase, including the ones in the include() function.

[Monkey4TL]

I am quite confused, i changed Admins.lua to admins.lua and there are no errors apart from the joining hook that checks if they are in a table that is stored inside admins.lua

function getRank(ply)

if table.HasValue(Admins, ply:SteamID()) then
ply.PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Your rank is Admin "..ply:GetPData( "LEVEL" ) )
else
ply.PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "Your rank is Player" )
end
end

the errors only show up when i edit & save code, however i can't use anything inside those files

[ph:lxyz]

Scroll to the very first lua error you see, way up there... it might have a side effect which causes [i]this[/i] error.

[Monkey4TL]

Couldn't include file 'shared.lua' (File not found) (@gamemodes/gamedotrpg/gamemode/cl_init.lua (line 1))

only error apart from

ERROR: Trying to derive entity base_wire_entity from non existant entity base_gmodentity!

that is spammed for about 50 lines

[Scott]

Call AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" ) before AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )

The wire error is likely because your gamemode isn't derived from sandbox. IIRC base_gmodentity is a sandbox entity.

[Monkey4TL]

Doesnt do anything.

Question: how do i derive the gamemode to sandbox, ive tryed

"base" "sandbox"

[NiandraLades]

DeriveGamemode("sandbox") in shared.lua, too

[Monkey4TL]

ah, well i cant do that because shared.lua cant be found

[editline]13th August 2014[/editline]

Im so confused because it gave no hint to it being ply.IsAdmin() before it jsut broke everything, why does it not tell you why its broken? I fixed it once but its broke again and not for the same reason

[Scott]

It's ply:IsAdmin() All methods use : Didn't catch that before.

Also, HUDPaint is likely causing you errors too. The hook gets called before LocalPlayer() is valid. Stick this on the first line of your HUDPaint function.

[LUA]if( not IsValid(LocalPlayer() ) ) then return end[/LUA]

edit: Eek, grammar. Other than the possibility of these or something else causing errors I'm not sure how else I could help. :(

[Monkey4TL]

It still returns the same errors, im so confused, i wouldn't be suprised if u gave up.

Earlier in the morning it worked, then it broke however i removed the piece of code that was breaking it, but it is still broken.
