Error in .jar, but no error in netbeans

I will be uploading a video soon, but I run my 2d game in netbeans, and I can play it. But I run the jar from netbeans, and I get some weird errors...

Java Code:

I don't know what to make of it. I don't get any errors in netbeans

The NPE is telling you to key in on lines 26 and 49 of your GameFrame.java class. My bet is that you're trying to read an image in from a jar file as a file (which doesn't exist in jar files) rather than as a resource.
