Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Game View fine, game client = black screen

Hiya. I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem: my mod works fine in the Game View mode of the editor, but in the actual D:OS2 game client, weird behavior ensues.

--opening the mod in D:OS2 at first brings up a black screen. Clicking anywhere brings up the error message "can't reach" (screenshot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kjzQIXOCmFAE7S0AzeN7AUL2uIpVQoY2)

--while facing the black screen in D:OS2, if I hit escape and then Return to Game, then the avatar's icon and hotbar appears but the game window is still black. Something is calculating distance, though. If I click an ability and move my cursor around the screen, that '299.1m' is the same until my cursor stops near the right border, and then the number rises. (screenshot 2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bqQ-JeVMzmGxo1G8WdICzEWOUo7q8_vK)

--there may somehow be an invisible Start Point trigger? Another mod I imported from the 'old' Editor works in the game client just fine. This made me think that I could try adding the old Character Creation script to my broken DefEd mod (the charcreation script from this Windermere tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq6Rm_Kqb5g). I think I remember reading that we wouldn't need that script in DefEd, but seemed worth a shot. While editing the character creation script, the Story Editor auto-suggested a Start Point trigger that doesn't exist. Right now, I have only one Start Point trigger, StartPoint_006. But the Story Editor suggests a Start Point called StartPoint_000 (screenshot 3: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1POXPVx4cYoFM373x-YamD8ptipcY4gjx). There is no StartPoint_000 in the Editor's World Outliner. Could this mystery start point be the problem?

Any thoughts & help appreciated!

Figured this one out. I can't remember where I'd read that the character creation script is no longer needed... maybe I hallucinated it, because it's utterly wrong. I put in the old character creation script and made my StartPoint_006 Global, and now my mod opens in the game client. Yay, testing!

It is not wrong, but you do need to define some databases to configure the new, generic character creation code: https://docs.larian.game/Definitive_Edition#Unified_Character_Creation

Had the same problem and also only could resolve it using the Windemere's Tutorial.
