@patioticparadox I approve and endorse the improved/edited version of the protip. :)

This mod gets the log location wrong on Linux because it uses backslash "\" instead of forward slash "/" for the path. A Linux file system sees it as a long file name rather than a path.

Protip for all Windows developers: ALWAYS use forward slash "/". Never use back slash.

The result is that Windows will treat a forward slash exactly the same and it'll also work on Linux, even when the application isn't Linux native.

Could you update it to catch these ones too? They're so annoying popping every sec without no info
Cannot cast from source type to destination type. [System.InvalidCastException]

Wonderful mod by the way :)

If you have a null reference it's better to hit a support center with your logs if possible.

This works with "Array Index is out of range"?

It works fine on Linux, it just puts the log file in an incorrect path due to the slashes, which clutters up the directory structure with junk.

This mod wasn't made with Linux in mind. If you have a null reference it's better to hit a support center with your logs in Linux if possible.

This mod gets the log location wrong on Linux and creates a folder in the local folder ("LocalAppData" on Windows I guess) named "Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods\XCatcher\Logs". I think because it uses backslash \ instead of forward slash / for the path so a Linux file system sees it as a long file name rather than a path.

PROTIP for all Windows developers: ALWAYS use forward slash ("/") never use back slash.

Windows will treat a forward slash just the same and it'll work on Linux, even when the application isn't Linux native.

this doesnt work the error messages still pop up

Error Message: NullReferenceException caught: 'WoodBridgeback' failed to load. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at LoadPanel.Refresh () [0x00000] in :0 [Serialization]

any idea?

Sure. Join the discord then send your log and I’ll try my best to provide a solution

My game kept flashing Null Reference exceptions, and strangely, there was no possible source of the Exception in the log, nor any information about the details of the error in the popup. Please help me

If your errors aren't specifically null references, xcatcher might suffer to detect them.

This isn't making a log file. There's only the .dll in that folder.

What do you need help with?

i need help

ok, thank you

No. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\255710\2952968348 if installed on Steam. In that folder you should see XCatcher/Logs directory. Firstly run the game, if there's any nullreference the file will be created.

this folder is in AppData?

By run it I mean run the game

You run it, if there's any null reference it will log them to a file in the XCatcher folder

ok but how do i use this mod? sry i'm d_mb

The below comments were when XCatcher had an exe, which is discarded now.

ESET antivirus?

Something in common @StayHungry :)

I use ESET.

Combine SKYVE and XCatcher for an enhanced troubleshooting experience.

Use SKYVE instead.

and this is wery so good

this is doesn't work?

tried it, folder is empty

it doesn't work

Thank you for making this mod but I don't understand : is it for debugging purpose or just to hide error pop-ups ?

Thank you for this mod! I am just now getting back into playing the game after a month off and after updating all my mods, was getting this null reference error that wouldn't even let me unpause the game. I noticed that you put in the discussion that the old THEME MIXER 2 would cause an exception. Has anyone else had an issue with PICKER? If I'm reading your log right, that's the mod causing my current exception https://ufile.io/ic6o75ib

Update: i verified my game files and the game is just fine now? I don't need the mod anymore. Thanks for your efforts, however.

Doesn't work on mac - Hard to diagnose because it doesn't generate a report. I am having the errors triggered by trying to create a city district, as well as park areas.

OMG!!!! This mod was needed!!!

Nice, U save my day.

I keep getting an error with the asset editor and It wont let me place props on new assets. how can i fix this?

@The Blood Eagle 😁

Well if I know anything about the csmodding subreddit, you just earned a ticket to apply for sainthood.

@StayHungryStayFoolish Oh I already sent everything to Chameleon, just forgot to update this thread lol.

I also recommend adding real source code placed on GitHub.

@Nyoko no, it is not, except if you have a subfollder / ZIP included that includes the source code... the checkbox "source" bundled is not creating sourcecode, its just a flag you can use to say "Hey, i've put the sourcecode files in this mod too" ....

If we in support not have all information in the output_log .txt, we will need to request separate file this mod creates from the player... we had same issue with the "Better Error Reporting" mod, that caused that we not have the information in the logs that we need in support. This is why CR tells not to use this mod

I believe the source code is available right in the workshop page. I'm currently adding more features at this time so maybe in a while I'll have the time to link it. What do you mean by not killing support?

Please linkj the source code... and i really hope, it will not kill us in support....

@✰ eric ✰ That was the main reason of making this mod. So people could troubleshoot as I was seeing a lot of discussions on nullreference exceptions after the Hubs & Transport update. Lmao.

deleted my whole map yesterday cause of this error and now u made a mod XDD

no way! excellent

@Nyoko thanks for the mod and the source code. I will keep testing it, if I see NullReference issue, hopefully, it will give further information, not just the output.txt text.
