Hey all,

I just finished BG1 and am making the transition to BG2. I have a BP-BGT-NEJ-CtB-DSotSC-NTotSC-SoBH install (phew). i also have shorter transtion v14 installed. the transition seems to work because all the cutscene runs fine and thenafter the people say "take him to amn" or whatever, it goes to load a new area (irenicus's dungeon i presume) anyway, it crashes abotu a quarter of the way through the loading area process.

I tried to CLUA into that zone and it crashes the same way, that is why i think it is the area itself. i was wondering if someone could help me with this. i cant seem to attach the ar0602.bcs file, but i have linked it here to my webspace so maybe someone can take a look at it.

the file is at http://www.rpi.edu/~austin/ar0602.bcs

thanks again

The area crashing is usually a problem with the .ARE file or the .TIS file. Usually it's the latter one. Check your override folder to see if you have either a .ARE file or a .TIS file in there.

Also did you install the old non-WeiDU versions of the BP-BGT-NEJ mod? If you installed the newer WeiDU versions there are still a few problems that have to be worked out.

Unfortunately I am at work and don't have NI installed so I cannot look at the bcs file.

I have an ARE File, but no tis! Does anyone have a tis file for that area?

Thanks for the hep cujo!

UPDATE: i do have the tis and wed files for the area. they are in a bif file AR060A.bif i exported them into individual files into the override folder.... still no luck

btw, i used the old versions of BP-BGT and NEJ... not the weidu version

You cannot take TIS files from the bif's and throw them into your override. There is a 24-bit header that is required for TIS files that are found in the override. This same header is not present in the BIF files, as it will certainly cause crashes--and, of course, vice versa. I cannot comment on what exactly ascension's package is doing, or if it even is the exact cause--but moving tis from bif to override without accounting for this is absolutely certain to cause additional issues.
