Pakrat Trouble

Pakrat has been giving me trouble lately and I'm not sure what's causing it. It seems to work fine on older maps, but for every new map I make it doesn't work. As soon as I select the map it produces this error: "java.lang.NullPointerException"

Here is the what the java console looks like:


and the command line:


I've already redownloaded Pakrat and reinstalled JRE. Neither worked.

The only thing I did today sdk-wise was install ABS's mapping resource pack again (since switching from xp), but I've never had any trouble with it in the past. However, I didn't run the installer as an admin. I did so later when I realized some parts of it weren't working properly in Hammer. Maybe not running it as an admin initially is what is causing whatever problem I'm having?

I never really figured out what the problem was, but I found an easy workaround. When Pakrat initially asks to load a map, I just load one that works. From that screen I select File>Load BSP and I'm able to load my map and pack in my files just fine.

I didn't have much luck with PackBSP, for what I'm guessing are unrelated reasons. I'll post the output in its thread.
