That doesn't really help me work out what the problem is. For all debug purposes, please attach at least a saved game where you can re-create the problem.

I confirm Quicksave not working in the latest test release. Also a lot of crashes, for example the next floor of the Candlekeep inn in BGT. Going back to the public v23 or test v0.24.4.21 solves the problem.
Attaching the TobEx.log with data from different versions. Hope that helps.

Infinite loops on dead creatures executing some of the new actions and some bad reversing so I've been inadvertently adding SetInterrupt() to a whole bunch of action lists. I think should be OK now.

With the latest TobEx 0.24.5.24 and 0.24.5.17 i cant start a new BG2 game, i get a black screen after loading Irenicus dungeon. With 0.24.4.24 i can. TOB new game not affected.
I have the following installation Bg2+almost bg2 mods.
In another installation (BGT+almost BG1 mods) the game starts but Irenicus doesn't show up.With 0.24.4.24 he appears. BG1 new game not affected.

Can you re-download the attachment and try once more?

[dannyb1166]

Sorry for being slow to get back to you. Reinstalled it again.
Yes your right about that. the game crashes once the fight finishes and i kill the creature. Where is the new version,or is it not posted yet. Managed to get one quicksave and i couldnt do it again after that.

It's in the public test releases thread.

Got it thanks.Going to install in 10 minutes.

The game crashes upon killing the creature (checked on Tarnesh in the Friendly Arm Inn) and in some cases when loading the area. Using the latest test release.

sorry for not getting back to you. I did a clean install, and defragged my hard drive. Which took awhile.As soon as it was installed i had a quick go and everythings working as it should.

I forgot to mention that people trying to fix this issue by just replacing TobEx.dll won't see any difference.
You either need to re-install TobEx completely, or add from build 0.24.5.17, append to ACTSLEEP.IDS:

356 Assign(S:Statement*,I:Type*ArgType,I:Local*)
356 AssignFromObject(S:Statement*,O:Object*,I:Type*ArgType,I:Local*)
357 Eval(S:Expression*,I:Type*ArgType,I:Loc*)
358 ClearBlockVariables()

With this, my problems are gone.

It helped indeed.

I did a clean install with the 120524 version and still the game freezes when I kill my very first enemy in Candlekeep.

[Hina]

Ok, Nevermind, I just got you wrong. Adding the lines fixed the problem.

I don't know if this is really caused by ToBex, but it seems suspect to me because it changes core files: I am totally unable to save. I started at Candlekeep and tried it everywhere, in and out, and after the ambush, but the game constantly treats me as if I were in a fight. Sorry if this has nothing to do woth ToBex, though.

you can easily check if it's TobEx responsible. just rename TobEx.dll into anything else(TobEx_.dll for example) and try to run the game again. If it would allow you to save, then it's tobex responsible indeed, but I somewhat doubt that.

I have been distributing my own BWP repack among my friends. it is not public due to copyright issues but I can send it to you if you wish. it's packed into a single archive, the only thing you need is to download it via torrents and to extract it anywhere you like. then change paths in baldur.ini and you're ready to go. the setup is quite stable already(I have completed BG1 and most of BG2 with it) but I release patches to this particular setup now and then. the archive is about 20GB, and I can seed it in a night or two. how does it sound?

[Hina]

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try immediately.

Well... that's a nice offer, but I think I would prefer to hunt for the bug. I've been assembling my own preferred mods over the last two weeks and I would really prefer to go with a custom install. Besides, this way I'm probably actually helpful in some way.

EDIT: Hum... Unlikely as it may seem, but ToBex appears to be the culprit. I've just moved the dll elsewhere and played up to the Friendly Arms without problems. Could I just swap the dll with yours without the need to reinstall, Suslik?

EDIT2: Seems that I can... and that it solves the saving bug. I'm totally confused atm. I'll report later if my assumption was right.

If you downloaded the old 120524, you may need to re-download 120524 (same link). I updated it silently without changing the file name. I will be releasing a new test version soon.

[Hina]

Hm... I thought I did, but anyway, I added the lines above and the freeze was gone, but is there a similar hotfix for this saving bug (which hasn't been reported before)? Do you even think it possible that it is related to ToBex?

[Ascension64]

Well, if you just look above, you will note that the first 120524 test build did stuff up saves. http://www.shsforums...post__p__541946
