[4.14.2]Vanilla Essence error

Vanilla Essence plays up in the latest GZDoom

VM execution aborted: tried to read from address zero.

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

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

[SanyaWaffles]

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.

I've downloaded Vanilla Essence from here 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?
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: Select all

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

to

Code: Select all

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

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!
