If you're absolutely sure that its not corrupted or you're loading some additional mod that causes it - try opening Vanilla Essence in SLADE -> Open ZScript.zc -> Scroll down to line 144

And change:
[code]
override void WorldThingSpawned( WorldEvent e )
{
if( e.Thing.sprite )
{
e.Thing.A_SetInventory( "SpriteScaler", 1 );
}
}
[/code]
to
[code]
override void WorldThingSpawned( WorldEvent e )
{
if (!e.Thing) return;
if( e.Thing.sprite )
{
e.Thing.A_SetInventory( "SpriteScaler", 1 );
}
}
[/code]

This way if its indeed points at nothing for some reason you'll just skip that actor.

It worked!
Mate, you're a legend, thank you!

	override void WorldThingSpawned( WorldEvent e )
	{
		if( e.Thing.sprite )
		{
			e.Thing.A_SetInventory( "SpriteScaler", 1 );
		}
	}

	override void WorldThingSpawned( WorldEvent e )
	{
		if (!e.Thing) return;
		if( e.Thing.sprite )
		{
			e.Thing.A_SetInventory( "SpriteScaler", 1 );
		}
	}

I've downloaded Vanilla Essence from [url=https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=59412]here[/url] tried it in GZDoom 4.12.2 with no other mods and it worked just fine. Are you sure that your vanilla essence archive is not corrupted?

That's not the problem of the devs. If Pixel Eater is not around to fix the mod, that's out of their hands.

I've noticed you've asked in like three or four different places, here included, about where to find Pixel Eater.

Know where I can find Pixel Eater so I can take it up with him?

The error is in the mod, we cannot do anything about it.

Vanilla Essence plays up in the latest GZDoom
