Install: tactics

 

Action: After saving Riatvin from demons, a cutscene occurs, the screen turns black and there goes the transition from "Riatvin with demons" to normal Riatvin. After some seconds, there is a CTD.

 

Error: ASSERTION FAILED!

File: ChVidImage.cpp

Line: 1910

 

Exp: !((dwFlags & CVIDIMG_TRANSLUCENT) && (dwFlags & CVIDCELL_BRIGHTEST))

 

Msg: no msg.

Run Debugger?

 

Characters:  protagonist, Aerie, Jaheira, Drizzt, Sandrah, Shauhana

 

Zipped save game folder attached, Weidu log attached

 

I went ahead and tried out some "trial and error" thingys and I found that:

If I Ctrl-Y Shandrah, the crush never happens.

If Shandrah is alive the crush happens no matter what area I'm in. I even tried traveling to the temple and res her from there, but after that, within some seconds the crush occurs.

Also, even if she has no items at all, the crush occurs.

 

Could it be a script?

 

I would really appreciate your help!

The BGT version of the mod has been long abandoned and the version you still have is not even the last available for BGT.

 

Nevertheless I found an old install to run your savegame.

 

This is what happens - triggered by the amount of XP you probably gathered during the TDD episode, a visit from Mystra to Sandrah occurs. It is possible that some animation from her companions fails (you have a lot of mods installed that may cause this.)

 

Anyway, I was able to run the scene without CtD. I made a save of it after the Mystra encounter.

You may try to continue the game from that save.

PS Here is the conversation you miss - at the end Sandrah receives a blessing from her goddess (that should be in the savegame)

== sanmyst~ (Laughs again) Oh, how I wish the grandmother could do just that with her grandchild - but, alas, you are right. 'tis not the case. Your progress is fast, my child, and your way and decisions have been found just and promising again and again. The path becomes clearer daily.~
== BSANDR ~ I have become confident in many ways, my goddess, my healing gifts and my fighting abilities have become of great value for my companions and me...~
== sanmyst~ ...and not only for them - your work on this plane is magnificent and you are about to establish yourself as a force on Toril to be counted - just like your father.~
== BSANDR ~ You will not compare me to the great Elminster, Mystra, although I recognise your support to my abilities.~

== BSANDR ~ Mmmh, it is not smalltalk we are having, grandmother, but still you are vague as always. Is there something specific you would demand of me or my companions today?~
== sanmyst~ As a healer you know how important recognition and admiration are to the soul, do you not? Know that your goddess is with you, my child, and gives you the strength to continue as the road now gets steeper and steeper. I will grant you some of my gifts as you deserve them and my blessing be on you. Hmm, it has been good to see you, Sandrah.~

Thanks Roxxanne, and a happy new year to you! It worked, but it seems I lost almost half of my gear

Is there any chance you can tell me the CRE names of her companions, so that I manually change the animations with NI to any other animation? (I have done this before on a purple elemental and changed the animation to lava elemental)

Forgive me if I ask too much, your help is more than enough and much appreciated.

Here is the code that spawns them

IF
Global("SanLive","GLOBAL",1)
InParty("CVSandr")
CombatCounter(0)
Delay(6)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateCreatureObjectOffset("SanMyst","CVSandr",[100.100]) // Mystra
CreateCreatureObjectOffset("CVDYPROT",Myself,[-100.100]) // Hathran Protector
CreateCreatureObjectOffset("solar",Myself,[100.-100]) // Solar
CreateCreatureObjectOffset("CVasstem",Myself,[-100.-100]) // Assistant of Tempus
SetGlobal("SanLive","GLOBAL",2)
END

It may be animation or items they carry - the load of missing items from my save indicates that a lot of stuff is tweaked in your game.

The thing that puzzles me is that the same group is spawned after Sarevok's death in the Undercity. Mystra's first encounter.

Problem solved. CVDYPROT and CVasstem CRE were using  a solar animation that was the root of the evil. I made them use an ice troll animation and all went fine

I have no idea why some animations cause CTD, but that's not the first case in my BGT. I have been haunted by the purple fire elemental too, a problem that some other people had too, so I guess it's not something in my install but something bigger.

 

Thank you once again Roxxane, that saved me many hours of gameplay (actually I have no much time, so far we're talking about one year+ of gameplay)

 

My only question is: Is there a way to find myself the code running just before the CTD so that I can track the problems (and fix them)?

If the problem is related to Sandrah's script you can use this:

 

http://www.shsforums...e-6#entry592018

 

You can easily modify the tp2 if you suspect another script to be the source of a problem.

Note that some scenes may also trigger from the last line of a dialogue (those actions you will find with NI)

 

You can also use a tool change-log (just search SHS forum here for it) if you want to know which mod causes the issues by changing cre files or animaton files (e.g. animate.ids).

 

There is also a more global tool http://www.shsforums...s/#entry504055, I cannot comment on it as I found it not practical for my own use and have not touched it for years.

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Thank you! Hope I won't need it, but it seems to me that with life tends to tear down your hopes, so I'd better be prepared for it
