Run time error 9 on server start.

Run time error 9 on start.

So I just added an item to the game and dropped it on the ground and then the server crashed, and now I can't even start the server. Any idea on how to fix this?

I don't know why the item crashed the game, it shouldn't have.

Post thought. After watching the server boot it gets to maps before it crashes. Now besides putting an item down I also put some mining resources done before I saved. It could be that also. Either way I don't know how to disable them from outside the server.

Bump for more info

I replaced the map I crashed on with a blank map so I could try to recreate the crash circumstances. So far no luck. It wasn't the item I dropped or the resource. Both work perfectly. I still would like to know what crashed me as I had to ditch a very large dungeon map that I worked days on. Any clue?

Hmm, thats odd.. Did you do any source edits? or are you using a custom eclipse version? ^_^

Run the error trough the IDE and press debug then tell us what it says

No source edits and it's the default version.

The resources sometimes error out. I don't know exactly why, but I've always suspected it happens when you place down a resource before pressing "save" on the popup to select the resources. Can you try replicating it like that?

Delete the items in your server folder and re-make the item.

Before I test this, is there anyway to edit out a resource while unable to operate the client? Because last time it glitched as I said further up I couldn't even start the server.

No, the problem is with the map, not the resource or the item.

Just delete the one map the failed resource is on.

I'll try and see if I can come up with a client-side fix. However, this would be retroactive at best.

Of course, you could just be extra careful to make sure the resource is saved before you place it.

**Edit**: Here's a fix for the future you can add so this doesn't happen again. Please test it.

Client-side.

Find:
```
' move the entire attributes box on screen

```
and before that add:
```
If ResourceEditorNum = 0 Then ResourceEditorNum = 1

```
