Issue with single word module name

[Mephisto]

Hi there,
I encountered a strange behavior when I tried to load a module automatically via the campaign setup. FGU reported the module as “Not installed”. Looking onto the code this was triggered as the record “info” always came up empty. Strangely the problem vanished once I renamed the module file name from “Chronicle” to “Chronicle Ruleset Data”. All modules I tested which consisted of more than one word seem to work fine. It might be a bug if the modules name only consists of one word only.

You have to make sure that you are loading the value from the module "name" tag (which is the internal key used to reference the module data for links and activate/deactivate), not the module "displayname" tag.

I did. :-)

This works, if filename is "Chronicle Ruleset Data.mod":


_tDataModuleSets =
{
["host"] =
{
{
name = "Chronicle Ruleset Data",
modules =
{
{ name = "Chronicle Ruleset Data", displayname = "Chronicle Ruleset Data" },
},
},
},
};


This doesn't, if filename is "Chronicle.mod":


_tDataModuleSets =
{
["host"] =
{
{
name = "Chronicle",
modules =
{
{ name = "Chronicle", displayname = "Chronicle" },
},
},
},
};


The mod file itself is identical, I just changed the file name.

Look in the module definition.xml file - the <name> tag Moon Wizard is referring to is in that file - in the module, not the desktop LUA or the .mod filename.

Ah, thanks! I see. That's probably it.
