PC Entity Classes? "<property name="HandItem" value="meleeHandAnimalBear"/>" Causing NRE?!?

[Cadamier]

Just recently - since like yesterday on my first 1.0 game I got this NRE that references: "EXC Exception item with name "meleeHandAnimalBear" was not found!

Then it goes nuts, can't do anything.  Just like yesterday I was trying to shoot a bear, I hit it and it charged me - was barely able to shut 7d2d down and couldn't do anything more with it so deleted the save.

I am running Khaine's 3 slot forge, 15 slot toolbar and 60 Bigger backpack.

I found the referenced:

EntityClasses.xml Line 3513:

"&lt;property name="HandItem" value="meleeHandAnimalBear"/&gt;"

Anyone else getting this? Help!

They made a change to the mini bear to use its own hand item for attacks so they aren't as long as the large bear.  That could be causing you problems for some reason.  If one of your mods is using that or changing that maybe the update breaks the mod.  Though why those mods you listed would do anything with that, I have no idea. 

It may be necessary to start a new game.  That is sometimes necessary in experimental.  But you will get better support by posting in the support forum and including a log so someone maybe can help more with it than this.
