Null error
« on: March 05, 2013, 12:54:26 PM »
So I recently stumbled across the Hawken Fleet of ships and decided to simply drag and drop them into my mods folder and off I went.

Until I started getting an error about 5-10 minute into the game repeatedly.

How would I go about using the log to determine the error? Is this the right place I'd ask for help in figuring out the error?
I think it has something to do with a convoy fleet being spawned for the hawken faction.

It should be the last copple of lines, attach the log file to a post.


What OS are you running, if it is windows it should be under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Fractal Softworks\Starsector\starsector-core
In a text document called starsector or starfarer

Sorry it took me so long, I was having a helluva time getting the bug to reoccur.

I'm running the newest versions of Neutrino Corp, Hawken Fleet, Valkyria & Restock.

There you have it, line 44... possibly... null errors are always tricky.

One of your fleets seem to be null, this may happen for example if the fleet you tried spawning has a typo so its not the same as the one on the *.faction file

Well that seems to be a problem, I'm not trying to spawn any fleet. The error usually hits when other fleets are being destroyed (I think)

I would say I have probably misspelled something so when the convoy spawns it triggers the error
Spoiler
What it was
      CampaignFleetAPI fleet = getSector().createFleet("ironlegion", type);
is what it should be
      CampaignFleetAPI fleet = getSector().createFleet("hawkenfleet", type);

[close]
and others mistakes in the HawkenFleetConvoySpawnPoint
