I discovered the CTD on trying to enter Tazok's Tent(AR8701) last night. Had a dig around NI and DLCTP and CLUAConsoled the characters outside the tent with no crashing. Ran the Change Log file on AR8701 and it returned just the generalised biffing. Error log points to ASSERTION FAILED! File: ChDimm.cpp Line: 1246 Exp: FALSE Msg: ChDimm.cpp CDimm::Demand(): CRes pointer invalid.

 

I'm thinking one of the Bam files is incorrect(I'd guess a scimitar from a previous experience) carried by Hakt. When CLUAConsoled outside the tent he's unarmed.

 

Should I have started a new post for my similar problem? It's a Standard BWS minus heaps install.

At this point, I'd accept a way to just skip past the stuff in Tazok's Tent. If you can CLUA in all the NPCs and gear, that's pretty much good enough for me. There aren't any scripts/global variables that are unique to entering Tazok's Tent, are there?

Well, when you pickup the note in the tent, your chapter gets' increased and this allows you to enter the next stage of the game. So kinda yeah.

But can that be done using CLUA? Like, can I just add the note to my inventory?

Yeah... but I won't guarantee the result will be optimal.The command is:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)

Erhm, I am not exactly sure about that last number, it should be 5, as in the value in the original BG1 game's chapter+1, but as it has been forever since I was there last, you might wish to check the current value and add one, via this:

CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL")

Better idea is:

 

Add (with NI) this block from AR8701.BCS to AR8700.BCS:

IF
	PartyHasItem("SCRL2Y") // Letter
	Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",4)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		RevealAreaOnMap("AR7000")
		SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",3)
		IncrementChapter("CHPTXT-4")
		SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)
		AddJournalEntry(94731,INFO)
END

Then at console:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("SCRL2Y")

With chapter change to 5 you don't get Cloakwood Lodge (AR7000.ARE) revealed on worldmap. Well you can always CLUAConsole there if you don't know how to use NI.

Well, not that it actually matters, but see, the RevealAreaOnMap("AR7000") just adds the white/gray highlight to the area, and you'll still need to travel to it from the area next to it just like usual with all the other revealed but not yet enter-able places at the start of the BGT(FAI, Beregost & Nashel, as these are gained in dialogs, you still need to travel to them the normal way), the chapter number actually opens the worldmaps links. And the above doesn't usually matter anyways as the link is already open because the early entrance to Cloakwood is added by the tweakpack mod, and only the mine area needs the chapter number increase, yes, it's to be 5. Thanks.

I got the same issue than you do, and it seems that the NPC in the Tent get out (at least some of them) to attack you if you start a fight in the camp.

 

It still doesn't give you what's in the chest, but still... way better than nothing ;p

Erhm, sorry for the idiot question, but just to clarify, the enemies come out(probably due to the SCS mods nice element) but that you are can kill them without crashes and it only crashes when you enter the tent ? So it's not the hostile creatures, but something else...

That's correct.

[Hack'N'Slash]

Thanks for the tip on bypassing this problem. One thing I did notice when CLUA'ing them all outside, that Hakt was unarmed. That could be my on doing messing around with NI and looking at the weapon bams for this character.

If someone's interested in getting to the bottom of this mess, I'd like to help

 

We first need a starting point though - how about extracting AR8701.ARE, AR8701.BCS, HAKT.CRE and all the scripts that HAKT.CRE has and attaching them in a post here. Should give us clues that point to the exact source of the crash (perhaps a missing actor in the ARE trying to spawn or some borked ITM in Hakt's inventory that he tries to equip)
