Yeah, I had the same problem. Maybe a miscode or something in the html? I'm sure this file is needed to have it work right so if someone could point the way to get that tp2 file it would be appreciated.

The "correct" tp2 file was lost in TeamBG land and I can't currently fix the link. Don't worry, things will be coming very soon.

Send me a PM with you email adress, I'll send you the right file

Finally found one of my old mails I sent to answer this question before we had the forums again. Here's the process if you don't have the .tp2 that was lost- I don't even have it. (And hopefully once I can update the website, I'll have the newer .tp2)

Unfortunately, the "correct" .tp2 file has been lost in TeamBG land and I can't get it for you.  What you can do- if you think you can do it- to fix the crash is this:  search the .tp2 file in your BG II directory for the text "COPY_EXISTING ~AR0500.ARE~" and delete from that line to the next "COPY_EXISTING" command then insert the following text at that point.  If you can't do that, there's no current way that I can help you, and I hope that you understand that it's not really my fault, it's just the fact that I didn't expect TeamBG's servers to get hacked.

Here's the Text you need to replace:

After you do that, I strongly suggest you not use your save game as that may also cause problems because of the way the game works.

Couldnh't psykotic just upload it somewhere for quick access?

CBisson,

Re. replacing the .TP2 code. I did as suggested but to no effect for the saved game. It still crashes. In your strong suggestion not to use the saved game were you impying that replacing the code may still not allow the saved game to go to the Bridge District but that new games will?

Thanks

[Isaya]

For the new TP2 to take effect, you need to uninstall then reinstall the mod, this time using the updated TP2 file. Otherwise the area file in question won't be fixed.
Provided you couldn't reach the modified area before, it will not be in the save game you have, therefore you should be able to restart from your save game after the new installation.

Death to Neb! Death to the Hidesman! I've crossed the Bridge. Thanks, Isaya Uh, good luck, Guestmike

Good News/Bad News

Good News - I edited the .TP2 file in Notepad and uninstalled/reinstalled CtB. I entered the Bridge District. After taking care of business...

Bad News - I can't get out. If I attempt to leave the BD the game crashes just as it did when I couldn't get in. Is this the reason why I shouldn't continue to play the saved game?

Continued assistance continues to be appreciated. Thanks.

[Shiva]

Might be best to wait for the new version of CTB!


Does anybody know if the big CB is nearly done yet?
