Game crashes seemingly randomly with my character?

[RonanZer0]

This random crash with no error usually happens when my character is attacked by something that drains HP (Launch Octopus, Shade Man etc.) But this time it happened just when RMM AirMan attacked my character with a normal attack after the map JUST started...

I don't see any errors here?

Tell me, when you started your character, did you use the "Elecbyte template"?

If you did. Please find animation 5300 and delete it from within your character. Then find that template in the fighter factory structure. Click it, then press shift+delete. It is a broken corrupt piece of garbage.

5300 is the most common issue, but various other things can go badly wrong beyond that. I've seen single sprites added to the sff file kill whole characters.

[RonanZer0]

I was using N64Marios template, but I deleted that anim but i'll have to wait an see if it crashes again

[RonanZer0]

Yep, crashed again seemingly randomly 

[Cyanide]

Assuming it's not always happening on the same stage?

Ok, lets see if we can pin down the problem file. This might be a little confusing.

Rename your sff file to something else. Copy KFM's sff into your character folder and rename it to the correct thing so it'll function with this sff file. Don't worry that it looks like butt.

Play for a while, see if it crashes again. If yes, you have a corrupt SFF and will need to export it, check all the sprites till you find out which one is possibly borked then reimport.

If not, do the same thing for cns files and .air. SND if you have it can simply be removed from the .def file.
