Mod crashes on startup in build, but not in editor

I'm having some issues with getting my mod working in builds. The moment it starts up, I get a crash. I have a debug log at the very beginning of my Init function, so it looks like it doesn't even get there - some sort of compilation issue?

Also, I have no other mods enabled.

Build version: 0.10.24
Git commit: v0.10.24-alpha tag
Editor version: 2018.2.21f1

Crash log:

Spoiler!

I've not got much help to give but I'd at least suggest moving to the new Unity version and 0.10.26 code. Making a new working mod for 0.10.24 at this point seems to be a lot of work for little gain.

Other than that: try building your mod, then sticking it in the StreamingAssets/Mod folder in the unity editor. That might give you a clearer indication of what's happening.

Well... after a bunch of testing, I think I figured it out. Looks like you cannot make enums in a mod. :^)

You can in 0.10.26 if you use the new pre-compiler function.

Surprised you're doing a camera shake mod - if that's for combat when player gets hurt that's already in DFU, although it seems to not be as noticable as it once was so maybe it needs fixing. It's CameraRecoiler.cs if you want to take a look.

The enums are a known constraint with the mcs runtime compiler, but there's now an experimental pre-compilation option which will allow everything.

Ahh that sounds cool! Well, it was quite easy to remove the enum, so it works now

And yeah, the built in camera shake is basically non existent, so I figured adding a mod that could allow for tweaking of such a shake effect could work. In my case, I just made a custom shaker I already use in another project

Fair enough, but as a DFU developer I tend to prefer that we fix stuff.

Unfortunately the dev who did that class left the project as he was busy in RL.
