Python System Path Problems? Use this article for the fix: How To Add Python To System Path

ShardMaster Troubleshooting Guide

1. Use Help Functions

  • For core.py:
    • Run the command: python core.py --help, -h, or help to view available usage commands.


  • For books_manager.py:
    • Run the command: python books_manager.py --help to see a list of commands and parameters.


  • For stoneshard_gui.py, stoneshard_location_gui.py, and stoneshard_data_formatter.py:
    • Help buttons are visible once you open the tools.


  • For analyze_sav.py:
    • It itself is a help feature with a wealth of information.


  • For rumor_generator.py:
    • Opening the tool should provide self-explanatory features. Prompts will guide you accordingly if something is needed.


2. Sprite Compatibility
  • Version specific with the Addons.

3. Installation and Setup
  • Verify that your data.sav path in config.ini is correct.
  • Use analyze_sav.py option 6 for the original exact formatting of inventory items. New method is even easier to use. Just look at the config.ini inventory examples.

4. Resolving Errors
  • Share the exact error message:
    • Provide a screenshot or copy-paste the error to speed up troubleshooting.


5. Start Small
  • Begin with minor changes or if you're adventurous, go all out.
  • Use the correct slot for item edits or create a new slot (e.g., starting with item.1) for additions.

6. Saving and Loading Changes
  • Save and exit the game before making changes.

7. Using Logs
  • Run core.py and check the log output for warnings or errors.
  • Logs often pinpoint where issues occur, making troubleshooting faster.

Best Practices for Editing config.ini
  • Uncomment Examples:
    • Start with an example item provided in the file. Test it before adding more changes.


  • Follow the Format:
    • Ensure items and properties are correctly structured. Incorrect fields or syntax can cause errors.


  • Check Common Errors:
    • Ensure all commas, brackets, and quotation marks are properly placed.
