Help needed with error in config.exe.log

[idkpmiller]

Hi,

I have had my nose to the grindstone for the last 36 hours so I am not firing on all cylinders.

I have been doing alot of cleaning up in GameZone ready for the next emulator to be added.

I am receiving the following error in config.exe.log, can someone point me in the right direction of what I should be looking for. Please bear in mind I am not a programmer by trade and need thing spelling out to me in lay mans terms :-)

==================


It would seen the issue is in GameZoneTask and not GameZoneConfig does that seem a correct assumption?

Any assitance is welcome

Thanks

It looks like in the constructor of your GameZoneTask class you're trying to do something with another object that is set to null (probably calling a method on that object).

If you're using the plugin helper, remember this will return null in the config app.

Hi Sub,

Thanks for the reply. I can home tonight and my PC had switched itself off so I SWITCHED IT BACK ON AND IT BLEW UP :-(

Assuming one of the PC rip off places in the CBD can sell me a replacement tomorrow AND that the PSU is the only thing blown I will look at the code then.

In the meantime while trying to find the answer to my issue I realized that I do not know which parts of my plugin are checked by GBPVR prior to initilise or new, does it check all parts and classes? or can I narroe my search for the offending issue down somehow?

Thanks.... Now what can I do tonight <BIG sigh>

Bugger - good luck.

I'm not really sure what you mean. I'm fairly sure GB-PVR is just trying to create an instance of your GameZoneTask class, and somewhere in the constructor you're trying to use another class that is set to null. I dont think its any deeper in your code (in other methods or classes).
