Help! Theme broke Forge

by **cosmonk** » 03 Mar 2022, 15:41

This isn't a bug report, so I wasn't sure where to post. I was trying out different themes, and one I selected caused the game to crash. When I try to start, the new theme is still active, and it crashes before the splash screen finishes loading. Because of this, I can't go back to the default theme. Is there some way to reset to default theme outside of the program?

I'm running 1.6.47 on Window 7. The exact error is:
"
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.awt.image.BufferedImage.getData()" because the return value of "forge.toolbox.FSkin.access$700()" is null

Fixed it. In case anyone else has this problem, I went to c:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Forge\skins and just deleted all of the folders there. It reset back to the dafault theme after that.

Also just realized what caused the initial problem. When I used the in-game downloader for themes, I started it and closed the window, thinking it would run in the background. Apparently it just cancelled mid-download, so when I tried to select the last (incomplete) theme, it was missing some of its assets.
