It should not be necessary to uninstall generalized biffing.

 

Did you try installing Lollorian's Lolfixer?  It might find the problem for us.

Well then, I indeed would like to solve the source of problem, but then i would have to uninstall the generalized biffing. Should i just uninstall the mods that have been installed after generalized biffing according to Weidu.log and then uninstall the generalized biffing and then reinstall in the order from weidu.log?

You don't need to uninstall the GenBif...

As the only thing it does is to package the files it copies to it's backup folder to a more readable format of data file. The benefit is likely to be only some 10% to 90% speed boost, BUT on one file the difference is insignificant, when compared on what it can do to 10 files, or to 10 000 000 file.

So actually uninstalling the GenBif is really a bad idea. ... unless you just like to play with the abacus to see the beads slide in the frame.

You can simply use the other moding tools to extract the files, yes, you probably need the latest Near Infinity, aka one of the snapshots, and the knowledge to use a --change-log functionality. That is it.

Better idea is to install Near Infinity to analyze this (and other) problems, It allows you to look into the area files and creature files and find mistakes. Or if you cannot find the faults yourself it allows you to export the files and post them here (even from a biffed game).

How to run NI? I double click it a window open with option to choose infinity keyfile.key and i dunno what to choose.

[agb1]

Point it to chitin.key from your game folder.

[RutgerHauer]

This is the .CRE file that causes a crash, attached, exported via Near Infinity. Anything else you want me to attach/do?

Please also export and upload RINGDEMN.ITM and BL3-12M4.ITM.  I see them in the creature's inventory but do not have them in my game.

Here they are:

Please also upload DW#SUMFI.ITM.  NI says it is "null" when I try to access it from the creature file.

 

I was able to spawn the creature in my game without a crash, but my game also has Infinity Animations installed, so if it isn't a problem with one of those items, it still could be the animation.

[agb1]

I added your RINGDEMN.ITM and BL3-12M4.ITM to my override folder and spawned the creature again.  Still no crash.  Let's try DW#SUMFI.ITM.

[Lollorian]

Please extract and drop the attached CREs one by one into your override and CLUA them in to see if they crash. Tell us which one crashes

 

DW#NABSU_anim_changed.7z contains the CRE with the BG2 Tanarri animation

DW#NABSU_no_item.7z contains the CRE without any items

No crash for me with DW#SUMFI.ITM added.  Note DW#SUMFI.ITM is a ring and the creature has it twice, in its boots slot (!) and in inventory.  I guess wearing a ring on its toes is just as valid as wearing one on its claws...

 

It has one more item, REGHP2.ITM (also a ring), but that exists in my game already so I didn't ask for it.

 

Pretty sure it's an animation problem at this point.

Well, as long as the item doesn't alter the characters animation, it should be ok'ish, the Lolfixer fixes these things in regular BWS installs.

Lollorian, i did as you told.

 

DW#NABSU_anim_changed.7z doesn't cause a crash while DW#NABSU_no_item.7z does.

[Lollorian]

Ok It's confirmed that the animations is the issue then - you can continue with your game.

 

Do check this thread from time to time if you want to help debug the issue

[RutgerHauer]

How could i continue the game? By using Roxxane's attached .cre file?

[Lollorian]

Use the non crashing cre I attached.

 

Could you check NearInfinity under BAM for a file called Æaag11.bam please? Is it present?

[Roxanne]

 Put the cre file from this into override and play on DW#NABSU_anim_changed.7z

[RutgerHauer]

No it's not present under BAM.

Your version of the .cre will not interfere any quests from mods or not mods?
