Hi

I've a problem when I use several "Missile Weapons", for example when I use some type of throwing axes (code: CMAX01, DSAXE06), or throwing daggers (code: CMDAQ05) because I get this message:

ASSERTION FAILED! Return Address: 0x9CCB63 File: ChVidImage.cpp Line: 1921 Expression: FALSE Message: .BAM is corrupted (GetFrame() failed)


I suspect that this items derive from mods, but I don't lnow what..

Because I'm sure that there are others items with the same bug, I would like to know if I can solve this problem with Near Infinity!!!

Thanks

I solved with Near Infinity, for now...!!!!

I saw your post at CoM If there was slightly more info about why the game stopped crashing because of the settings you changed, it should be kinda easy to make a blanket item checker to check (and possibly fix) this kinda stuff

Specifically, do you need to change BOTH options ("is a bullet?" and "swing animation") and can the crash be averted by just changing one of them (I think it's the animation % that only needs fixing but I've been wrong so many times it's not funny )

Hi Lollorian, I posted at CoM because the items largerly come from Dark Horizons (for now!!! ).


I noticed that in my game there are several "missile weapons" items that can be able to be used also as "melee weapon" but ONLY when I used them as "missile weapons" I get a crash to desktop.

For to solve my problem:

1. I've open Near Infinity
2. I opened the item code (for example: CMAX01.ITM)
3. I go into the Edit tab
4. double click on "Item ability Type: Ranged (2),...."
5. double click on "is a bullet? Yes and set it to No"

I noticed that I no crash to desktop but I no see the item image on the paperdoll and on the game (my npc not has nothing on the hand)

then I then double click on "Animation: Overhand swing % 0" and set it to 100

I restart my game and work well, I not get CTD


Edit: Ehi Lollorian, because you are the "Genius of the fix" can you take a look here, please??? at post number 8...

Ok now trying to formulate this into a simple procedure:

- Check item type for AXE or DAGGER (melee weapons that can be used as missile)
- Check item abilities for a Ranged(2) ability
- Set all the missile quantifiers (is arrow/bolt/bullet) to 0 (no) if 1 (yes)
- Set overhand swing % to 100 (or whatever combination of %'s comes to 100 )

Le code:

Well done!!!

In any case in the CoM forum the author of the Dark Horizons mod (Solaufein) is noticed by me about that problem. See here:
http://forums.chosen...hp?topic=2640.0

I found another item with the same problem: DSAXE06.ITM (I suppose that it come from Dark Side mod...)


Excuse if I insist but and about that is there a solution???:

Yup Try CLUAConsole:CreateItem('DSDAGG01') btw If this output is right, your avatar won't show attack animations when it attacks

That's true, I tested DSDAGG01 with NI too and I solved with the same method above mentioned!!

[William Imm]

Lol, do you think your weapon animation fixer should go into the BWP (with Cre/Innate fixer)? It does seem like something very useful for the project...

[Lollorian]

I added it as a component to this thing yesterday Just grab the dl from github and rename a WeiDU.exe and you're good to go

PS: This component is in the Item Stuff group

[ilot]

pardon, error

Edited by ilot, 08 January 2012 - 05:45 AM.

[Lollorian]

As a followup, could anyone who has Drizzt Saga installed (normally installed in all BWP installs) CLUAConsole:CreateItem('F_DAGPSN') and check if it causes a similar crash?

If possible, there is another item CB300SLT (from Shadows of Soubar) that might also be a possible suspect
(ooooh look at me all detective-like )

[Miloch]

Just CLUAing in a misflagged weapon might not cause a crash, but using it could. There were some weapons like this in some megamod (SoS maybe?) that I fixed with Hoppy. Should be fairly easy to scan and fix such flags with WeiDU, but it seems you figured that out already, no?

[Lollorian]

Yup using it

I checked the weapon from SoS myself and yup it crashes (but methinks CHARNAME's not intended to get that because it doesn't have a proper name and it's a dagger with an axe icon )

The DSaga item is a 'Poisoned Throwing Dagger' though so that might need fixing

Hi Lollorian,

I CLUAConsole:CreateItem('F_DAGPSN') and it causes a similar crash, the solution is the same above mentioned.....

About CB300SLT you are right me too have noticed that
1. It is not "droppable" (can I marked (using Near Infinity) "droppable"?)
2. It have not a proper name;
3. There isn't a proper description;
4. To me not crash the item, pheraps because it is not droppable...
.....Should be interesting knows the purpose of this item and if it is important and where is it located and if it is possible find a solution for use it...



Edit: I was to be able to use CB300SLT because I managed with Near Infinity and I marked as "Droppable".
I noticed that the item has an "Burning Pitch" effect, similar to Fireball....besides I would like to know why is the following Item Ability (I saw that with Near Infinity):

Animation: Overhand swing %: 34
Animation: Backhand swing %: 33
Is bullet?: Yes (1)
