Cannot Load Ships

[Lothsahn]

Found a bug. Anytime I'm in the VAB and I try to load ships, the menu will not work--nothing loads. Ship file shown below.

Workaround: Deleting the affected ship file allows me to load ships.

Error:

[EXC 20:28:41.671] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

ShipTemplate.SetIfControllable ()

ShipTemplate.LoadShip (.ConfigNode root)

CraftBrowser+..ctor (System.IO.FileInfo )

CraftBrowser.buildCraftList ()

CraftBrowser..ctor (Rect rect, EditorFacility facility, System.String profile, System.String title, .SelectedCallback onFileSelected, .CancelledCallback onCancel, UnityEngine.GUISkin guiSkin, UnityEngine.Texture2D fileIcon, Boolean showFlagButton)

EditorLogic.loadShip ()

[ERR 20:28:41.814] [shipTemplate]: Could not locate root part in Optaztron MK III as 0 entries remain after eliminating all parts listed as children. This is probably wrong.

Ship file (entire contents):

ship = Optaztron MK III

version = 0.90.0

description =

type = VAB

size = 0,0,0

Yeah, it's a known problem that a sufficiently borked save file or craft file can cause the loading sequence to fail completely and just not do anything.

Been around a while, but we're still not really sure what corrupts the file -- it's usually on a game crash, but the files end up truncated at seemingly similar points a fair amount of the time.
