Creating a New Class

So I have created an exciting new class :P
And obviously I encountered some problems

The problem is that all of my other skins aren't showing up.
When I debug the client it says there's a problem:

Code:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I managed to add the ability shadow (tome for now until I get my art hat on :P)

So the class is called: Warlock
It has the ability: 'Shadow Tome' which differs from a tome.
It is a restricted class that is unlocked by having reached lvl 20 on Ninja and lvl 20 on Necromancer. I have added all constants to the client so that's not a problem there.

I have added the class to the 'classes' array within 'list.cs' and added a new tuple to the list as a result. I will query the database later to update all accounts which were made prior to the new warlock class as only new accounts may purchase the warlock class due to it not being within 'unlockedclasses' for currently created accounts.

I would really really really appreciate any help regarding this as the new class is really fun!

Also, shouldn't the class name be centred? :thinking:

EDIT: I fixed it by doing this,

Code:

    public function execute():void {
        var _local_2:XML;
        var _local_1:XMLList = this.data.Object;
        for each (_local_2 in _local_1) {
            try{
                this.parseCharacterClass(_local_2); //error here
            }
            catch(error:Error){
            }

        }
    }

But does anyone know why my Warlock class was giving an error? Do I need at least 1 custom skin for Warlock in order to raise no errors?

FIXED the text centering

No, just solve the text i'm assuming, not the main issue of the skin.

I fixed both issues. But the problem with the skin issue is that to solve it I used a 'try and catch' statement, so I just silenced the error.

But for the future I want to know: Why this error was occurring in the first place. Do I need at least 1 custom skin for Warlock in order to raise no errors?
The error is raised here:

Code:

this.parseCharacterClass(_local_2); //error here

Look at the parseCharacterClass code and try to understand it and see what was missing from _local_2 for it to fully function.

I wouldn't be asking if I understood it lol, but thanks anyway

Found the problem. It was because I was putting class ability items into 'PlayersCXML.dat'. This file should only contain character XML data.

Please close @Luverdark
