Cool, I'll file it away for future use, along with a note. Might be useful to have around....I just finished re-installing BWP earlier, minus the large mods. If I can get through the entire game without CTDs, I'll start adding major mods again.

Edit: If this error truly was 100% reproducible, I question why it hasn't been noticed or fixed earlier....surely I'm not the only person with TDD installed by BWP, as it's installed by default with a Recommended / Standard install.

Edit: Never mind, just noticed that Hoppy called it an incompatibility. Wonder which mod(s) caused it, then? Ah well...the important thing is the fix, I suppose. Guess it'll have to be added to next installer for TDD, though I wouldn't know how to do that >_<

Heh, I found a good way....I'd kept the downloads from when I'd installed BWP, so all I had to do was restore my backup, uncheck the buggy / undesirable mods, and run another modified Recommended install. Went quite quickly, as there were only a small handful of mods I didn't already have.

Edit: I also figured out which of those supremely annoying mods lowered all my exp and made sure to uncheck them =^.^=

Alrighty, now you might as well be speaking Orcish, as I haven't a clue how to edit the files, lol. I never got past QBasic in terms of scripting/programming....mainly, I only tinker with easy-to-understand INI files and program settings, and if that can't solve the problem, I look at programs that can do it for me. I suppose there must be tuts and such out there, might as well make an effort to learn if I'm gonna attempt a massive, full-scale Faerun via mods. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed...I'd *really* hoped a Recommended install meant at least mostly free of game-breaker bugs.

Anyway, thanks for all the help...If I don't just reinstall BWP and replace TDD with SoS (and pray nothing else goes wrong), I'll fix up the file soon, maybe. Honestly, I'm less concerned about it not working, than I am about WHY it's not working. If we knew what broke it, then someone could improve compatibility, perhaps.

Slightly off-topic: I'm honestly surprised I didn't run into broken stuff before killing Irenicus, though I didn't use any custom NPCs in my party until BG2, and even the one I did let join didn't have obvious bugs.

On a side note, I *really* wish BWP didn't take so long to install. I'd love to do multiple runs through BG-BG2 TOB, each time adding another mod, so as to test compatibility and report bugs, but it takes forever and is a pain in the arse.

The Darkest Day (TDD)
ARPO25: Started BG2. Perfect warp with no errors shown.

ARPO27: Showed full load screen, then became 50% load and stuck, had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to close BG2. If this is the area that I mentioned in my other posts, then it's behaving differently now. If not, then there's 2+ areas messed up.

ARPO28: Restarted BG2. Perfect warp with no errors shown.

ARPO25 again: Warped back to ARPO25 from ARPO28 and attempted to enter the castle. It fully loaded, then flashed, reloaded, and stuck at 100% again, so I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to close BG2. My guess is that ARPO25 leads to ARPO26, though I didn't attempt a CLUA warp using ARPO26.

CreateCreature("DDPLOTA4") // Manifest Shadow: Perfect spawn, immediately starts its dialog.

CreateCreature("DDmanarc") // Manifest Archer: Doesn't spawn; freezes BG2 upon pressing ENTER after entering the command. Requires Ctrl+Alt+Del to close BG2.

CreateCreature("DDmanpea") // Manifest Peasant: Perfect spawn, hostile.

For the Anegh quest:

Hmmm, I'll try. The problem is that the map I'm crashing on doesn't give me a chance to CLUA, since upon loading it shows a chapter story/summary, then goes direct into a cutscene, whereupon it crashes DURING the cutscene when some(one?/thing?) attempts to spawn via Dimension Door. I CAN get the map you get there from, though...lemme collect its data. Also, this mod is likely among the Recommended ones (I did a Recommended+ install), so if you did a Standard or Recommended+ install, you'd probably be able to replicate it easily by getting the quest from the Mage NPC (Nomoran) at the southern tunnel exit of Waukeen's Promenade.

The map you warp to the problem area from is ZCAVE5. To get to the problem area, you have to kill the Dragon trainer, loot the dragon protection scroll, ID it, and return to the game screen.
