Solved Wierd crash @ Ilex Forest

[Mtdj2]

Yea, so my problem is, that whenever i load up my game, and walk around for a bit, whether it is in the forest, in the city, or whatever, I crash with this error down below.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just a helpful pointer, when you report a crash, maybe tag a moderator so they will notice this. For example, Darkfire or Prince Vade. (I was just showing this person how to do a tag, not to piss you 2 off)

 

[Darkfire]

Were you in third person mode?
do you have an egg close to hatching?(togepi?)

 

[Lilligant]

Dark, you need to teach me how to read crash reports and to know what's wrong. That would mean I wouldn't need to keep asking you what's wrong.

 

[Darkfire]

I don't know how to read them generally either
I just go through things that are known to cause bugs
In newer places there might be map or texture failures which will be listed in the crash report but in system failures you will see lots of 2.5Hero stuff which means the main system
I didn't even bother reading the crash report yet

 

[Lilligant]

Ok, but does anyone besides Nilz know how to read them? Because there are a lot of things that can cause a crash. I would like to work that out for myself.

If you have the source you can figure it out...but only nilllzz/draco have the full source

Well, Draco's hardly ever on, and Nilz is never on when I am. What should I doooooooooooooooo................

In the next update we are expanding the use of log.dat and will start prompting more notices about issues instead of hard crashes...

Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
InnerException: NOTHING
BaseException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
HelpLink: No helplink available.
Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
Source: 2.5DHero
This usually means system error
easiest fix:
toggle third/first person

 

[Lilligant]

Ok, will it be any easier to find out the cause if it were something like a scripting or image failure?

more than likely
The biggest thing to find the bug is to first ask about what map or if it was a battle scene
If it was a battle ask which trainer and then check the corresponding file for typos/ forgotten tags(like 0.31's route 41 bugs)
If it isn't a battle bug ask about major events on the map or ask if it was upon entry
Also if you enter a map part way through and the bug is behind the character it won't crash until the field of view hits it(or a possible field of view as it will hit stuff clear across the map)
if none of those are the issues suggest toggling third person
If issues still happen then it might be a save file error when loading so ask for the save files to be uploaded
other thn that it is probably a system bug and asking these questions helps us narrow it down

 

[Lilligant]

Ok, but what if it's a bug you can't identify?

 

[Darkfire]

Ok, but what if it's a bug you can't identify?

usually I can atleast identify what the general bug is and then I goto skype and talk to nilllzz about it

 

[Lilligant]

Ok, well, thanks for some insight on what you guys go through.

 

[Lilligant]

Also Dark, would you be able to tell me where to look for the problem in the crash log? Cause I get a few crashes and I am forced to go on the forums and post it there. I would like to know where the problem would most likely be in the log. I hope you can understand what I just wrote.
