Hi community,
I'm trying to create my own Mod to add some triggers to DialogueActions but after building the file, I can't load it through the $INIT$ folder. I can load the Mod through the GUI and it works, but if I put it in the $INIT$ folder, even at the end of the file, I'll always end up with a "Mod Loading Failed" Error...
I suspected a delay needed between the loading of DA and my mod but I tried the same loading sequence with Coli's Mod CustomAutomation (from which my mod is derivated), and there is no problem to load his mod just after DA through the $INIT$ folder.
So I'm very frustrated because the mod does work when loaded through the GUI but I can't figure out why it won't load at startup. I'm posting here in hope that experienced modders with a good knowledge of the SDT/Loader Architecture will know what could be the problem.
In case you need it, here is the code of my mod. I removed the specific functions I created to keep it short because I think that this is not relevant to troubleshoot this problem but if you need my complete code, no problem, just ask:
