If we presume Player has Infinity Explorer shortcutted on the desktop (or at least knows how to get it open), what would the required steps be?

Well, if you actually would get an IE(Infinity Engine) editor, not just a browser tool, you might have more success.

Push View->Edit, and you'll see the 'Animation ID' as 'Cranuim Rat - 57352', change it to something else, push Update Value, the push Save, and then you can quit the Near Infinity.

Coolios! You say change it to something else. Could I change it to say pudding or does it have to be a random number of my choosing?

That would say that you might have a corrupted creature animation, and would you change it with an IE editor, you might just fix the problem.

You're probably right. How do I fix this? I have the IE editor, and the bug typically occurs in area number 1400.

It's more probable that it's actually in ar1404(you can get the exact area number by pushing X in the game screen)

If the area is indeed ar1404, then the only three Cranium Rat's in the area are RAT.CRE, so if you open that creature with NearInfinity, you can change it's 'Animation ID' from 'Cranuim Rat - 57352' to something else.

Anything specific? I think you could write a short guide and solve this problem for good Well done tracking down the area number

Greetings!

I would like to address the 'cranium rat bug'. This bug typically occurs under the following conditions:
- Player has a clean install of Planescape: Torment with or without mods and/or patches
- * In my case, I have a full install as per instructions here and here
- Player has an up-to-date system (as of 2008) with an Nvidia 8 series graphics card
- Player has entered the weeping stone catacombs
- Player encounters a cranium rat
- - The rat is invisible. Only a red ring indicates its position. No apparent texture files appears.
> The crash occurs in a few different ways
> - Player attacks the cranium rat
> - Cranium rat casts a spell (usually ball lightning)
> - - Spell may or may not cast successfully
> - Game freezes for a moment before crash dialog is displayed.
> - The following error message sometimes occurs

An Assertion failed In F:\Torment\source\chitin\ChVidPal.cpp at line number 1124

This one is fairly specific. It's only 1 creature in 1 place that's causing the problem. Emptying the cache and temp folders didn't work unfortunatley. As regards an gameplay solution, I suppose I could try training as a thief
