Help with ALCOR and RPM

[nicogusuarez]

Everytime I use an ALCOR capsule this message appears:

[Error]: RasterPropMonitor: INITIALIZATION ERROR, CHECK CONFIGURATION.

In the debug menu this appears:

[Exception]: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Any idea what's causing it?

Looks like that in the initialisation (or other) part of the mod, the procedure that initialises the 'Object' is receiving a zero value (0 = NULL) instead of a reference to an initialised Object. (if that makes sense )

It could be that one of the many objects that are being initialised if failing.

When a function in software fails, it usually returns a NULL (zero) value, but most programmers don't check this, and use the return value (zero in this case) as an object reference.

The system then catches the error, so one is generally in the dark of exactly where the error occurred - statistical experience of the error helps resolve it

Do you have enough memory. Are all the parts/objects installed..etc, OR it could be referencing something from another mod.

CFG files.. Reinstall the mod - files might be over-written by some mods?

I'm pretty sure there's something that needs updating for 0.90 - check the end of the ALCOR thread, if it's not there it might point you towards some RPM patch.

The pod can definitely be made to work though.

Just wanted to add, i have had this happening in 0.25 as well...

Ohh..

It's Horrible! I was excited to do an IVA only landing...

I have 8 Gigs of RAM in win 64.

Everything is installed and I tried it without other mods but i'm reinstalling KSP to see if that helps.

Thank you!

I have a RPM DLL for 0.90 - I suspect the lack of that might be causing at least some of your problems - but I don't remember where it came from. The RPM thread might be a good place to look though.

I'll take a look, thanks.

Update: Re installed KSP and RPM to the newest version and still nothing.

Okay, I figured out what it was, I feel like an idiot right now.

I installed the mod wrong.....

I was about to post earlier that I had the exact same problem after installing this mod last night, but I was able to fix it eventually after deleting everything and reinstalling more carefully the second time around.

Installing into the correct folders is straightforward enough when each of the zip files use the 'Gamedata' root folder, but that isn't the case with the Aset_props folder, which led to some confusion and an erroneous install.
