A few days ago my GoArrow just uped and quit on me with this error...


<{ GoArrow v1.2.0.1 }> Error [NullReferenceException]: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. See errors.txt in the GoArrow folder for more info.

<{ GoArrow v1.2.0.1 }> Error [NullReferenceException]: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. See errors.txt in the GoArrow folder for more info.


I go there, and the txt file says ...

Post a Decal export.

Did you change anything right before you started getting the errors?

I didn't change anything. My first clue something went wrong was that my gameplay was stuttered. Afterwards I realized it was because GoArrow was appending the error.txt file non-stop in the background. The only thing I can think of that I did that was new for me was Bellas flagging and the Bellas dungeon, done right around when the problem started. I have a lot of plugins installed but I don't use much more than the virindi stuff, goarrow and buffme (for the //shortcuts). Thanks got your time.

 

-----signature-----

Could you try disabling all other plugins, plus the Virindi AutomaticUpdatesFilter, and see if you still get the errors?

When exactly do the errors start? Is it the first time you log in, or after you've logged in and out once, or...?

Do any other plugins that use HUDs have any problems? (such as the HUD not showing up)

From the moment I log in any character on the account. It's part of the initial lines of chat you get while portal space is dumping your character into the world at log in. I never get any more errors after that, because it passes up the "more than 20 errors reported, errors reporting surpressed" and then they go to the error.txt.


Here is a cut and paste of a character entering the world ...

""Do any other plugins that use HUDs have any problems? (such as the HUD not showing up)""


Yes, buffme bombs silently when the goarrow errors start. It usually displayes a "current buffs" timer in the top left hand corner of the screen. That is not there. Also, when you open buffme, all the program boxes that usually have text in them (like the //commands) are empty, displaying nothing.


""Could you try disabling all other plugins, plus the Virindi AutomaticUpdatesFilter, and see if you still get the errors?""

I will try that tonight and report back. Thanks for your time!


Related weird tidbit of info...it suddenly started working for a few days, then stopped again tonight.

 

-----signature-----

Ok, I did what you said, as best as I understood.


GoArrow by itself, with all other plugins disabled,Virindi Update Filter disabled = works no errors


Goarrow with any ONE of all these plugins , works

----------------------

Virindi Updates Filter

Buffme

Virindi Tank + Virindi Integrator

Target Info

Quest Timer

Mob Tracker

Virindi Follower

Virindi Reporter


If I enable them all at once, the errors start.


Taking a clue from your specific mention of the VirindiUpdateFilter, I just pulled that one, and the error stopped. So, I guess that means VirindiUpdateFilter has a problem, not Goarrow, GoArrow is just reporting the crash better?

 

-----signature-----

It sounds like another plugin or filter is freeing some Decal-owned resources that it shouldn't be. When GoArrow tries to use that resource, it fails, and you get lots of errors. Probably the same thing happens with BuffMe, but it just doesn't write the errors to the chat window.

I only mentioned Virindi Update Filter because it was listed under Filters and not Plugins. However, if disabling that alone causes the errors to go away, chances are that it's the culprit (or possibly a plugin that depends on the Virindi Update Filter). You might want to ask Virindi to take a look at this thread.

i'm having this problem too.. please help!! all i have installed is LTx and go arrow. most recent decal, sp2 all that jazz.. should be working ! any help is appreciated, thanks.
