What OS do you use?
Just checking that you mean that 'correct version' is ToB 26498?

OK, do any of the other patches work? Try testing the A6CharmPatch one (if you haven't already got the WeiDU version of it installed). I am thinking there might be an issue with patching the EXE code in memory.

Im on XP Home SP3 x86 version

that's the one. I'm assuming it has installed correctly too since, if i am remembering right, i read somewhere that the BWP installer checks and would warn me when i did the BWP.

OK, do any of the other patches work? Try testing the A6CharmPatch one (if you haven't already got the WeiDU version of it installed). I am thinking there might be an issue with patching the EXE code in memory.

I did the standard BWP install so i think that both the A6charm and the A6XP weidu packages were installed, so i didnt try turning them on.

I did however turn on the Effect013E and did CLUAConsole:CreateItem("A60x013E"), the item it created was a 'Necklace of Missiles: 'The One Gift Lost'', i equipped it and used it and it gave fireball effect and there was no crash or what not. not sure if that's an appropriate test though?

The extra effect uses only hooks instead of patches. I am wondering whether the patches are being applied correctly.
Perhaps you could attach your current BGMain.exe file?

I just checked if TobEx worked with your EXE, and it seems to work fine (I think you had the Widescreen mod installed, so the graphics looked a bit funny).
I'm wondering if any background programs are interfering with the way that TobEx works. Otherwise, I'm not sure what is going on here. Perhaps you could attach the guicg.chu from your override directory as well.

yeah had the widescreen mod on set for 1440 900.
sure the one from my C:\Games\BGII - SoA\override dir, is at:- http://www.filedropper.com/guicg_1

as for external programs, i have a firewall that i exited to check and avast anti-virus which i stopped to check too. but still same error message. other than that i cant think of any other type of program that might have got in the way really.

[pauljh5]

do you think there could be any kindo of obscure windows setting that might interfere?

Also, the file that the error message references, ".\src\CGameUI.cpp" is in "C:\Games\BGII - SoA\src\TobEx\src" for me. Im assuming thats correct?

I'm one of those who can use this nice little tool without problems (though I don't use enough kit mods to know if that tweak works on my system), thank you for it.

I was wondering though: BG(2) seems to be programmed in the grand tradition of those games that don't have a sleep() in their main loop. As I have experienced performance improvements with other such programs after applying a sleep() tweak (especially Ultima Online comes to mind), would you mind giving this a try with TobEx when you have some time?

[Ascension64]

Hmm, I must have missed ths file, because the filedropper link directs to main page. Could you re-up it? You could even upload it here if you rename the extension.

@Setharnas: I would have said that I would have a look if I was still working on it. It is too time-consuming for me to do any more work on it, unfortunately. If you have the means and the skills to work on it, I encourage it.

[Setharnas]

Thanks for the reply, I fully respect your decision. Unfortunately my programming skills are nowhere close to code patching/injecting level, which is why I decided to post the thought at all - maybe someone could pick it up. The framework is there, after all, thanks to you.

Oops, forgot to respond to this.
I am thinking that there may be some Windows interference, but I would be fishing in the dark.
The error message is fine - it is simply stating the error relative to the directory that I compile the program from.

I also get the same error than paul. I did a BWP tactics install (with TDD and RoT kits) and my os is windows xp SP3.

[Ascension64]

Would you be able to a change log for BGMain.exe and guicg.chu?

Instructions are in Section 6 at http://www.shsforums...-the-megamods/. It might take some time to finish the log.

[darkkhaine]

Here it is for BGMain.
The log for guicg.chu says there isn't any mod affecting it.

Hope it can help.

OK, doesn't look like those either. I'm going blind here, have a go at putting the DLLs at http://www.shsforums...post__p__471001 into the BWP install directory and see if that changes anything.

I'm also getting the same error as Pauljh5 and Darkkaine and AndrewB. I just want to add, the error also happens on an unmodded game.
ToB patch 26498 is installed of course, your guicg.chu is in the override. Only KitScroll with/without Songlist is enabled.
All other programs are closed, even AntiVir is deactivated.

At that moment I press the button to select a kit the game crashes. It doesn't matter if i have your additional DLL's in the main folder or not.

[Lollorian]

I'm confused as to why this isn't working anymore (haven't tried it since I took the pictures though ) I'll have a new BWP8.3 install done with some kits and have a test this week

If you are getting a crash, can you take a screenshot or take down the details of the crash itself? I would need ModName and the address fields to identify the problem.

[Ascension64]

Despite not working on other mods anymore, I will continue to try and work out what is the problem with this. Any more information about the proggy not working would be very helpful.
