I've just pushed a change for BWS to make those warnings just show up in the log instead of being pop-ups, and to suppress them during the extraction phase (so they'll still show up during install as intended) because BWS uses that same code during the extract phase to detect mod folders that are packaged more than one level down in the archive (e.g., the zip file contains a folder structure like mod_by_author_version_xyz/actual_mod_folder/etc.).

Everything's installed and the game is running smoothly so far it seems! Yet to encounter an enemy with a potion to drop it seems (I'm wondering if something was increasing the likelihood of common enemies like Hobgoblins carrying them to begin with) but if I get any crashes or if I encounter a spoiled potion, I'll say as much. I think I'll miss some of the weird merchants that some of the loadouts added, though honestly I'll cheat myself in an ammo belt and a scroll case so I won't miss them much, but on the whole I think it'll be alright. Thank you for everything!

Hi, I have found some bug in EET installed by BWS. Game crash to desktop when you start fight with Anadramatis in Abazigal Lair. Didn't know where to report this, so i decided to post it here.

My mods list:

Do you see any dialogue from Anadramatis before the crash?

Just normal dialogue before fight when you enter to his area. Then he instantly cast defensive spells (smarter mages installed) and after 2-3 seconds game crash.

If you kill him via console before he precast his spells, then everything is fine.

I tried spawning him in my game but no crash, so I will need your help to narrow the crash down to a particular script / block of code.
 
To see if it is related to the area where he normally spawns, can you spawn him somewhere else, like in the ToB starting area, with C:CreateCreature("dw#abdgy.cre"), and see if it still crashes after a few seconds of combat?
 
Some other console commands to try (you don't need to spawn the creature first; just copy-paste each line into console):
 
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ReallyForceSpellRES("spin710", Myself))')
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0w112", Myself))')

C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ApplySpellRES("dw#brkin", Myself))')

C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ApplySpellRES("dw#mgsee", Myself))')
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0d590", Myself))')

C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0d592", Myself))')

C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0i694", Myself))')
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0i710", Myself))')
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0w304", Myself))')
 
C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, ForceSpellRES("dw#0w405", Myself))')

C:Eval('ActionOverride(Player1, SpellNoDecRES("dw#wisg1",Myself))')

Another idea - can you upload your dw#abdgy.bcs from override folder and your dialog.tlk from lang/pl_PL (assuming you are using that one)?

He crash wherever i spawn him. I used above scripts and it works fine. I noticed Anadramatis summon also genie (Wish spell?) and game crashes 1s after he appears. I attached that 2 files (one is too big, so i had to use sendspace): https://www.sendspace.com/file/1b1404

Attached Files

Is it the first time you meet an enemy who uses Wish maybe? Try consoling in a scroll of Wish and using it. Doesn't atweaks have a component that affects Djinnies?

Yes, it was the first time. When i cast Wish myself it works fine.

EDIT: Sendai and Firkraag fights also crash at start so i guess it has something to do with polish translation of SCS mages and clerics component.

Let's first confirm the creature's script is at fault. Put the attached empty script in the override folder and see if it still crashes soon after spawn + combat starts.

You are using the Fixpack, right?  The Polish translation of SCS is correctly UTF-8 encoded.

 

Try these:

 

C:Eval('DisplayStringHead(Player1,26328)')

C:Eval('DisplayStringHead(Player1,25942)')

C:Eval('DisplayStringHead(Player1,226606)')

C:Eval('DisplayStringHead(Player1,226640)')

C:Eval('DisplayStringHead(Player1,230228)')

Yes, i used Fixpack. With your file fight starts, but nothing happens (however Sendai and Firkraag fights still crash). When i use that commands i have this:

 

Baldr000.jpg

 

There's [] sign at the end. The same sign is in sentance "rzucone wcze[]niej" - should be "rzucone wcześniej" (precasted) - diacritical mark was replaced (but not in spell names), so for sure something is wrong with codding.

Hmm.  But no crash.  I'm out of guesses at this point ... I think we will have to resort to the brute force method.  Do you know how to use Near Infinity to recompile a script?  I would take your original bw#abdgy.bcs and delete half of the script and compile, save, re-try.  If no crash, you know the half you deleted contains the problem.  Restore that half, delete the other half, then remove half of the "bad" half and try again.  Repeat until you find the bad block.

Bug is in this part:

 

IF
!GlobalTimerNotExpired("castspell","LOCALS")
!GlobalTimerNotExpired("wish","LOCALS")
OR(6)
See(Player1)
See(Player2)
See(Player3)
See(Player4)
See(Player5)
See(Player6)
THEN
RESPONSE #200
SetGlobalTimer("castspell","LOCALS",ONE_ROUND)
SetGlobalTimer("wish","LOCALS",1000)
SpellNoDecRES("dw#wisg1",Myself) // Życzenie
END
 
In Firkraag fight it's here:
 
 
IF
!GlobalTimerNotExpired("castspell","LOCALS")
!Global("FiredSequencer","LOCALS",1)
See(Myself)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobalTimer("castspell","LOCALS",ONE_ROUND)
SetGlobal("FiredSequencer","LOCALS",1)
DisplayStringHead(Myself,314525) // Sekwencer zakl[][]
ForceSpellRES("dw#0w302",Myself) // Usunięcie magii
ForceSpellRES("dw#0w305",Myself) // Przyspieszenie ruchów
ForceSpellRES("dw#0i710",Myself) // Odchylenie czaru
ReallyForceSpell(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),DRAGON_FEAR) // SPIN895.SPL (Smoczy strach)
SetGlobalTimer("dragonbreath","LOCALS",1)
SetGlobalTimer("redefend","LOCALS",3)
Continue()
END

Must be something that happens when the djinni summoned by that spell is in combat with you. You tried casting that spell on yourself already.

If you open dw#wisg1 with NI, you can see what creature it summons and what that creature's script is. Do the same block elimination process with that script.

Ok, but what with Firkraag fight? He doesn't summon djinni.

Maybe a different issue.  We can investigate Firkraag's script the same way:  remove parts of the script until the crash goes away, then narrow it down.  We can edit that particular block to remove a couple of lines - I would focus on the DisplayStringHead and the Spell lines.  You can also try removing the "redefend" timer line, which might be triggering another block.

Many  thanks, gos bless your souls :) .
