Any thoughts on what might be causing this? And could the lack of this component cause installation errors for other mods?

I think I've discovered one of the issues that might've caused the invisibility of our chars. On my PC, when I run setup-res_fixer.exe, I am asked whether I want to Re-install the components. My friend, however, is asked to Install instead, even though we had the same mod selection when we installed our games. When he tries to install the Resource fixer, we get this error message:

such occurrences are the reason directly copying files/folders from one computer to another is preferable to setting up two individual installations and hoping the nuances match up when a large number of mods are being used. It's just simpler that way. There's too much that can go wrong, even when the mod selection is identical. There are a number of components that add a random element that complicate things.
You could try running a changelog for both installs on the creature that res fixer is hanging up on (abydem01.cre), and compare the results.

Ok, it seems me and my friend finally found the mod responsible for the invisibility of our characters after saving during a multiplayer game: Throne of Bhaal Extender. After moving the content of the backup folder into the override, the issue did not appear any longer. We're currently trying to find the component responsible for the problem.
If anybody could offer any ideas on how to locate the component, I'd be very grateful.
Also, someone might want to add this issue and "fix" to the bug list for the Mega mod.

If a problem is noticed in one of the mods and not in particular install order, then the issue needs to be mentioned in the particular forum, not in MMH.Also, someone might want to add this issue and "fix" to the bug list for the Mega mod.

Hello, this is the only thread that seemed to mention the issue with containers like bag of holding when in multiplayer. I am playing BGT in multiplayer and the game will systematically crash when the player on the non-server machine starts a dialog that offers several choices of answer (like a merchant or an inn keeper).
Does any body know how to solve that? It's difficult to loot wihtout those bags
Also there seem to be an issue spellcaster on the clinet machine too but it is less problematic (you need to put your spells in the shortcut or go look at your spellbook before you can cast a spell)
Thanks

Firstly, does not having a bag prevent a crash?
Do you use TobEx in the game? Is so, which version?
The latest test release should have corrected issues with invisible chars and bag issues as well.
http://www.shsforums...-test-releases/
Note, it is a test release, so there may still be some issues. It would be good to know whether these issues were fixed though.
Not sure about the spellcasting issue. I would suggest runing the game without TobEx on both server and client (rename TobEx.dll to something else to manually disable TobEx) and see if any of your issues continue.
