Zarickan 10 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Hi, I am stuck with my mod, the addon builder stops working whenever I try to launch it. I just re-downloaded the files, and that didn't work. I then proceed to try the dev branch, without luck. Then I looked at the error logs (for dev branch): 2015-04-17 21:29:01,464 [iNFO]: proceed [Application=AddonBuilder\AddonBuilder.exe" type=0 Arguments="" path="] 2015-04-17 21:29:01,488 [iNFO]:

started to occur after the marksmen DLC got released, and not before, or with the marksmen dev branch. EDIT: Found the problem, not solved. After doing some more looking around, I found out that the problem lies in an xml file that the addon builder creates on launch. And then can't read. They are located in here: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Bohemia_Interactive It appears that the files was filled with NULs, I then deleted it. After relaunching the addon builder I still get the error described above and it creates a new folder with a new file in it called "user.config" this is an xml file, and I can read it no problem, doesn't look corrupted in any way. Here is what the user.config file looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="AddonBuilder.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <userSettings> <AddonBuilder.Properties.Settings> <setting name="IsUpgradeNeeded" serializeAs="String"> <value>False</value> </setting> </AddonBuilder.Properties.Settings> </userSettings> </configuration> EDIT: Cleaned out the appdata folder form everything Arma related, just got yet another error when trying: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at AddonBuilder.MainViewModel.UpdateSettingsWithDefaults() Edited April 18, 2015 by Zarickan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
