VFE:M mechs having a gizmo error

[pardeike]

A stacktrace and a minimal reproducible example would be nice.

Here is the full stacktrace, I am working on getting a reproducible example at the moment.

Yep got it reproduced on another machine. Modlist order is:

Harmony
Core
Royalty
Ideology
Biotech
Vanilla Expanded Framework
VFE Mechanoids
Zombieland

(testing if this image works)

Sorry but there is no mod called "VFE Mechanoids" and I am not guessing which of the 20 mods that start with "VFE Mechanoids..." is the one you are usiing. Can you upload a minimal save game so I can use RimPy to sub to the right mods?

[pardeike]

I don't see how the stacktrace is related to Zombieland. You said that removing Zombieland "fixes" this but it could equally well be another side effect from starting Rimworld.

[MagikTriple7]

Yeah sure. I just naturally abbreviate Vanilla Factions Expanded: Mechanoids to VFEM.

(testing upload)

RW test map.zip

I relate the stacktrace to the gizmos that Zombieland adds to colonists, as when Zombieland is not installed, the mechanoids work fine and can be used as intended.

[pardeike]

Ah, the save game helped. I have fixed the problem (you shall not return null for gizmos. It usually works until the game wants to sort all gizmos at which point you will get a NRE. I am now avoiding to yield a null gizmo. Fixed in the next release (4.2.1)

[MagikTriple7]

Yay! Thank you for fixing this, considering I am probably the only person on the planet who has ran into this issue ever. I should really pick different hobbies that do not involve niche modding communities (cough cough Minecraft cough cough).

Any hint to when this update should release?

Again thank you for this.

[pardeike]

Already released
