Error reporting shows incorrect line for the error

[MajorCooke]

Download and start up this mod.

It will immediately error out, which is intended. Notice how the red line says "line 55". But if looking at GHOUSPWN.json from an IDE, "drops" is on 105.

My guess is, it's a mixture of comments and other factors. After removing all comments and extra lines so it looks like the below (until it hits "drops"):

{
	"mod_id": "GhoulSpawn", 
	"ghouls":
	[
		{
			"actor":		"GS_Sjas",
		},
		{
			"actor": 		"GS_Jitterskull",
		},
		{
			"actor": 		"GS_Creeper",
		},
		{
			"actor": 		"GS_Choke",
		},
		{
			"actor": 		"GS_Frostbite",
		},
		{
			"actor":		"GS_Misty",
		},
		{
			"actor":		"GS_Clowny",
		},
		{
			"actor":		"GS_SoulHarvester",
		},
		{
			"actor":		"GS_Yurei",
		},
	],
	"drops"

It still has the incorrect number reported. "drops" is at 33, but the error will say 37.

it might be counting /r and /n as separate lines? make sure the json files are only using /n as line endings

[MajorCooke]

There is none within.

There is none within.

the literal line endings, not escaped ones, CRLF might be counting as 2 lines

I got rid of them and that reduced the count by a few, but also keep in mind, as it stands now, the error is on line 105 but it prints line 55 erroneously.

It's not counting the comments when it should be.

so the 37 is now properly 33, but the 105 is still busted? i'll try and fix this when i can

[MajorCooke]

Correct.
