I encountered the bug when I tried to enter the cave in the area "temple of Lathander"

The problem is, that I have quite big installation, so I don't blame anyone if you don't know the reason, it is just a try.

The ntosc installation went ok without any error message.

Hi Koravex!

Looks tough, not sure if I can help but:
  • Did the crash occur before or after loading the map? That is, did the map actually appear onscreen before the crash or once you try to enter the map from the temple of lanthander area?
  • Was there a crash if you used CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR9305")
  • If it crashed in (2), then stand outside the cave and try to CLUAConsole:CreateCreatures() for "NTTORDIO", "NTTORDI1", "NTTORDI2", "NTZOMBIE", and "NTDOOMBE". Did they crash as well?
If you think the problem is with the cave map itself, upload AR9305.ARE and i'll see if it crashes on my installation as well.

Thanks!

Thx you very much for the help

Did the crash occur before or after loading the map? That is, did the map actually appear onscreen before the crash or once you try to enter the map from the temple of lanthander area?

The area did not appear

Was there a crash if you used CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR9305")

Yes

If it crashed in (2), then stand outside the cave and try to CLUAConsole:CreateCreatures() for "NTTORDIO", "NTTORDI1", "NTTORDI2", "NTZOMBIE", and "NTDOOMBE". Did they crash as well?

No

If you think the problem is with the cave map itself, upload AR9305.ARE and i'll see if it crashes on my installation as well.


I'm attaching that file

I'm afraid that the problem could be caused by the component
~SETUP-BP-BALANCER.TP2~ #0 #25 // Item and XP Balancing for 'Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (v1.95)' -> Also remove ALL overpowered custom items (will not affect quest relevanted items)

I will make another installation without this component to see if the problem persists.

Hi Koravex!

Seems like you're right. It's probably the "Item and XP Balancing" issue.

Here are my notes:

(1) I tried using your AR9305.are. In a saved game before doing the cave quest, I encountered a crash with CLUAConsole. However, I managed to access the map using CLUAConsole with a saved game where the quest had already been completed.

(2) The weird thing however, was that I couldn't open that AR9305.are file with NearInfinity or DLTCEP.
An error occured (see image below), showing that the area file is corrupt.

(3) So I tried reading that file with Infinity Explorer, and seems like container4 in the map contains some item called SC41 (see image below). The items in container3 & container6 are also corrupt.

(4) I suspect the reason why I could enter the cave with the saved game where the quest had already been completed, was because I had already emptied the containers, so none of the items had been loaded up. That is why it didn't crash.

Hope the notes will be of some use to you. Good luck!

It surely did, I will test it without the BP-Balancer mod installed and redirect it to the maker of that mod if it shows to be the cause of the crash.
Thank you for your help.

I made the same installation just without the bp balancer, took a save from outside of the cave to that install and it worked fine . . .

Hi Guys!

I'll look into that :)
Maybe I try to weiDu-add a corrupt item.

Guys, I found the problem and fixed it.
When I corrected some macros within the mod making it work for WeiDu 202, I just produced a repeating typo. Veeeery anyoing. But it's gone now :)

New Version 0.28 here:

DON'T USE any version below, you would have more than one corrupt area.

Sorry for that, I appologize :whistling:

:cheers:
