Hello, every1:

 

Just finished a "succesfull" installation with these mods (using a modified version of the .bat file):

 

 WeiDU.log   76.88K   263 downloads

 

Didn't see any error, nor did the installation stop. After everything, I ran the Clean-Up and then the Generalized Biffing (my Override folder now has 28 files for a total size of 2.27 MB).

 

At first, I got the "classical" Assertion Error caused by a too long Songlist (though I thought that ToBEx had solved that problem already), which I "fixed" by removing the tracks beyond number 99 with NearInfinity. In any case, not game breaking.

 

But now, whenever I start a new game, be it BG, BG2 or ToB, it freezes; I get a glimpse of the loading screen, but then it goes black and freezes.

 

Problem is, I don't get any error message from ToBEx, Windows or any other program, nothing, just a black screen, so I can't track the error back, nor reasonably search the forums for a solution.

 

Sorry for the lack of more info, I'll answer any question you may have, it's very frustrating not having any error message to investigate on.

 

Thx in advance for your help.

EDIT:

 

Ok, looking around, I found this in the Baldur.err:

 

---------------------Start Logging Session---------------------

 

ASSERTION FAILED!

 

File: ChDataTypes.cpp

Line: 1591

 

Exp: !(x >= pBitmapInfoHeader->biWidth || x < 0 || y > pBitmapInfoHeader->biHeight || y < 0)

 

Msg: no msg.

 

Run Debugger?

 

 

I've searched the forums, but this error usually occurs with the game already started, not before loading the Character Creation Screen.

Both of them are stuff caused by something not possible in vanilla BG2 that ToBEx enables (increased soundlist and increased kits). Should give you a hint where the error's coming from

 

Either the cleanup.bat messed around with ToBEx or something didn't take right during installation. Confirm that you have a ToBEx_ini folder with 2 INI files please

 

Meanwhile, zip/rar/7z your Big World Debug.txt and attach it here.

[Arturcic]

Thx for your answer, Lol.

 

I've checked and I have that folder with 2 files inside:

 

ToBEx_ini.txt (description of the diferent hacks)

ToBExVer.txt (just a 26 from the versión number)

 

I've searched my installation folder and can't find any ToBEx.ini, only several copies of ToBExTweak.ini in the ToBEx, SCS II and RR backup, and of ToBExcore.ini in the sTweaks and Nogameover bakcup folders. I guess those are the files you were asking for to be in the ToBEx_ini folder...

 

About the BiG World Debug.txt, sadly I don't have it anymore, I believe the Clean-Up deleted it

 

Thx in advance

[Lollorian]

You remember the attachment I made in the BWP12 thread? Tobex_ini.7z I think.

 

Grab it and extract it somewhere, there should be 2 .ini files in that folder.

 

Copy them into your BGII's Tobex_ini folder.

[Arturcic]

Thx, Lol:

 

Your .ini's fixed the Songlist problem (now I can use the long one), but not the other one, still getting an Assertion Error in ChDataTypes.cpp at line 1591 at New Game. This time, I hav ea Little more info from the ToBEx Loader:

 

Return Address: 0x9892C8

 

Not sure if that helps a little or none at all.

 

I think I'll install again, use the Generalized Biffing and then check if everything Works before using the Clean-Up...

[Lollorian]

If you can spare the space though... don't cleanup The current cleanup.bat is kinda not recommended (maybe wait for the next installpack and run its cleanup.bat)

I've installed it in a 1 TB external drive, so I can carry it around and play everywhere 😎
Just made another attempt, without 1pp (which likes to randomly fail to patch BGMain correctly), and everything seems to work fine 😅
Thanks for the help and see you in the next bug report topic 😛
