Type 0 Null Pointer Exception error

[Edymnion]

Ran into a Type 0 Null Pointer Exception error on the Cake server.

I've re-downloaded and installed full game through the launcher, and I can access single player and other servers, but Cake is still a no-go for me. Soon as it tries to load the universe to about 30%, it dies.

Lil' help?

Lil' help?

Some things to try.

You may need Nauvran for this because the server is white listed. Else you could have simply tried a new user name to see if your spawn point broke or your user data server side got corrupted.

Ask Nauvran to try out these commands.

player_info ◦DESCRIPTION: displays info about a player (even when player is not on)
◦PARAMETERS: Name(String)
◦EXAMPLE: /player_info schema

set_spawn_player ◦DESCRIPTION: Sets the spawning point for this player to the current position
◦PARAMETERS: Name(String)
◦EXAMPLE: /set_spawn_player schema

Let him set your spawn in another sector. Maybe that helps. He has to go to that other sector and use this /set_spawn_player Edymnion

Incase the /player_info command gives him your last used sector or you know where it was. Then a /repair_sector x y z might sometimes also solve weird issues.

Make sure to use a brand new directory to absolutely rule out any problems with conflicting or corrupted server/user data.

Should everything fail then you can always become our new favorite target practice on a pvp server near you.



could not resist!

Or wait for a dev to brainstorm your problem.

Okay, yeah, I look more like Elmer Fudd than I care to admit... :P

Logs really help, I've had this issue where there was actually a server running in the background. Usually a reboot fixed it since I could not find it in the process list.

That is not how you tag people, you use Batavium not the link to my profile

We can try and delete your player data although this will mean that your faction might be deleted if you're the only one in it. All your factioned entities will be unfactioned.

Meh, I have local blueprints of the stuff I really want.

Feel free to delete the faction and nuke the entire damned sector if you like.

No I need to delete YOUR PLAYER DATA not your faction, thats just a side effect

 

[Edymnion]

Yeah, I know.

I'm saying I'm fine with that, I'm also fine if its something in my sector that corrupted and you have to revert the entire thing to stock.

 

[Nauvran]

Well it's done now

 

[Edymnion]

Well it's done now

Looks like its working now, gratci.

Now to see if I can figure out what system I was in.

--+Update+--

Good: It worked.
Neutral: Faction was still there, so name was taken.
Bad: Admin warped to that sector to grab my stuff, right back to null pointer. The sector itself is definitely jacked.

Gonna need to wipe all of it.

 

[therimmer96]

You're super helpful, you know that right?

Post about a nullpointer, without posting the logs that can lead Schine to pretty much the exact line of code causing it.

Tell us we need to wipe a sector, but fail to actually mention where the hell that sector is.

Well, ask and thy shalt receive, for the log anyway.

As for the sector, I'd be happy to tell you except that I don't know what it is and I can't exactly get into the game right now to bring it up. Last time I was in my faction still existed even though I was no longer in it (Stellar Mechanics), and it has the home base coordinates listed. You should be able to pull from there.

Or, if someone can wipe my data again, I can get in and check myself and report back, now that I know not to go back to that sector.

Server shut down was the reason you were disconnected.

However, I am unsure why, there is no indicator in the log giving a reason for the shutdown of the server. (And as it was single player, I assume it was NO automated restart)

Crap, was that from a single player?

Sorry about that, didn't realize I had logged into SP since the last MP attempt.

There, lets try a fresh one.

 

[therimmer96]

What timezone are you in so I can get corresponding server logs?

Wowee, what did you do to my server...

I murderized it, apparently. Sowwy...

I had been working on a turret when it first happened. I believe I had accidentally deleted the turret axis the top half was on and had tried to put a new one in for it to maglock back onto instead of bouncing around doing collision checks.

Looks like you have an invalid dock there for some reason.
The "Requested TYPE 0 is NULL" means:
There is a dock pointing to a non existing block.
Air (Block ID 0) to be exact.

So if you have backups of your stations and alike, it would be best to just stamp an empty-sector export in place.

therimmer96 If it works, may you grab a sector export of this sector and send it to me?
If we are able to get this broken sector on our testserver, we may be able to find a less-fatal result of an invalid dock, that does not affect the whole server from looping around to get the dock in place.

[therimmer96]

Just tried to export it, export came out empty (1kb, only contained the sector.cfg file) :/
