Null Point Exception Error an untrapped error has occured

I keep getting this error when I hit the button to connect online with any vassal module. I never had this problem before, it just started happening. I did just update java though…any thoughts?

Thanks,
John

Thus spake “casoli”:

Please post the contents of the errorLog (from your ~/VASSAL directory),
so we can see where the NullPointerException is happening.

Is this file in a folder or by itself in the vassal folder…I can’r seem to find it even though it tells me that a file log is created…

Hi,

It is a file named errorlog that is created and overwrittend each time Vassal is run. It is created in your Vassal ‘install’ directrory, not where your module is. On an Xp system, this is in

C:/Documents and Settings//VASSAL

If you still can’t find it, try searching your disk for a file anmed ‘errorlog’.

Regards,
Brent.

Hope that makes sense…

Hi,

You are trying to use Vassal version 2.9.9 to load a module that was saved using a later (3.0.x) version of Vassal.

Brent.

Thanks…however to launch the program I click on the quick start from the web site…shouldn’t that load the latest version automatically?

The Quick Launch button starts Vassal using Web Start. There are issues with Web Start on some systems that prevent the latest Vassal from beeing doenloaded automatically. This is one of the reasons we are moving to a new stand-alone installed with version 3.1

Try following the instructions here (vassalengine.org/community/i … &Itemid=26
