That means some object defined in some mod is missing some mandatory member.

You cannot find it - it is missing from the file, so you need to add it there. Location of the object where it needs to be added is shown in error message.

Oh, ok. What mod version do I need, or, what game version do I need? Is cataclysm++ compatible with the latest version of the game?

Change ‘id’ to ‘ident’, that should fix it.

I changed all the ids to ident, which definitely fixed that problem, but now it’s giving me this: DEBUG : Error: data/mods//Unlesh\_The\_Mods/mods/nocts\_cata\_mod-master/Char\_creation/c\_start\_locations.json: line 5:34: missing mandatory member “target”

It seems like maybe it’s using an old format, because none of the default start locations have this “terrain” type?

You are using incompatible mod and game version. Either update your game or downgrade mod version.

Hey, really interested in the mod but it hasn’t been working for me using the recent experimental versions. I keep getting

> DEBUG : itype ‘mx\_laser\_sniper\_ups’ uses undefined flag ‘NO\_AMMO’. Please add corresponding ‘json\_flag’ entry to json.
> 
> FUNCTION : Item\_factory::finalize\_post(itype&)::\<lambda(const string&)\>  
> FILE : src/item\_factory.cpp  
> LINE : 504

The No\_Ammo flag is an error thats repeated over multiple weapons, another is “BOOTS” flag undefined. How exactly do I fix these errors, do I just ignore them all?

Possible solution is in the error message.

Looked into the error and added NO\_AMMO and BOOTS to cdda json\_flags json file and Im still getting the world gen error, what could the issue be?

[#44694](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/44706) removed the `NO_AMMO` flag because it didn’t do anything (no C++ code to support it). I don’t know about the `BOOTS` flag, but suspect it is also dead.

I recommend going through the json files in the Cataclysm++ Mod and delete these two flags from all of the items that have them. That should fix the problem.

Look into error message text - it usually shows what’s wrong and how it can be fixed.

Hm, okay dude. Thanks for the advice, will the weapons that have NO\_AMMO flags on them still not require ammo? I dont know what flags do to begin with so I guess like you said, they arent supposed to since its not supported
