Need Help: OpenBOR is trying to open folder that does not exist

[Normal Person]

I'm new to this engine, and I've been very careless with my creating and deleting files...

When I try to run OpenBOR it crashes, so I open up the OpenBOR Log and get this output:

********** An Error Occurred **********
* Shutting Down *

Unable to load file 'Data/Chars/misc//00.png'

I thought I could get away with just slipping in a nameless folder and throwing a png named "00" in the folder, but it will not accept it.
Could someone please help me fix this or direct me to a previous thread that explains how to resolve this?
Sorry for the trouble, and thanks in advance!

Based on the error message, it seems that OpenBOR is unable to load the file 'Data/Chars/misc//00.png'. The double slashes in the file path indicate that there might be a problem with the path.

Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check the file path: Make sure that the file path is correct and that there are no extra slashes or spaces in the path. Also, ensure that the file name and extension are correct.
2. Check the file location: Make sure that the file '00.png' is located in the correct folder 'Data/Chars/misc/'. If the file is not present, try to copy it from a backup or download it again.

I have tried. I placed another nameless folder into the previous nameless folder in order to mimic the destination. No results...
I made a new character to get the original "00.png" (it was the single idle frame of Bloodrayne that comes with making a new character or obstacle), still no luck. Ultimately I want to just delete this path so OpenBOR will stop trying to load something that does not exist, but I can't even find that path anywhere in the OpenBORstats project.

There's part of your problem. Get rid of OpenBOR Stats and switch to Chronocrash Modders Tools. OpenBOR Stats is abandoned and unstable. It's notorious for mangling files and causing esoteric errors.
