In Topic: CTD entering Iron Throne Level 5 AR7615

22 August 2008 - 08:13 AM

ok I solved the problem, just kicked out one of these guys from area AR7615 - Zhalimar Cloudwulfe he was causing a CTD


It was Zhalimar for me as well. I just created everyone else but him in a different area and avoided that room completely. But then the next time I had to go through the area to find Cythandra he was still in the room. So I created her in a different area as well. For situations where an area doesn't load properly, I find it easier to use Near Infinity to look at who is supposed to appear in that area and then create them in a different area.

I am having troubles with the 2nd part of the Drizzt saga.

If you have issues with a specific mod, you're better off posting in that mod's forum. Or at least start a new topic here with the mod in the title. The original author is in fact active here, but he's unlikely to read a post buried in this monstrous thread. This thread is for instructions for installing the Big World Project, and is pretty long as it is.

Apologies, thanks for the redirect.

I am having troubles with the 2nd part of the Drizzt saga. I have finished the part with Drizzt and Wolfgar in the nine hells and went to dragon isle. I cleared out that map and went one map north too, some other place and picked up Bruenor. After clearing that map and the other area of hell after that. I have heard about going to Bruenor's cabin in order to go to the sacred bear tribe? Where is Bruenor's cabin? I have been to every ARE that is assigned to F_XXXX and none of those are Bruenor's cabin. Can someone go to the cabin in their game and read me the AR code? Or am I missing something entirely?


His cabin is the first area you enter in Icewind Dale after Elminster sends you there. You need to go inside and get the journal. THen leave the area. It should flow nicely after that.


Ok, well that begs the next question, how do I get Elminster to send me there?

In Topic: CTD entering Iron Throne Level 5 AR7615

As stated above, game CTD's entering AR7615. It crashes immediately upon clicking the stairs. I have uploaded my weidu log. I tried to CLUA to the area and the same crash occured. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

edit:
I started a new game and CLUAed right to AR7615 and it still crashed. I am thinking that perhaps there might be an incompatibility caused by one of the 'tougher iron throne' settings?

Start by using Near Infinity to verify you have AR7615.ARE, AR7615.WED, AR7615.TIS, AR7615.MOS, AR7615LM.BMP, AR7615HT.BMP, & AR7615SR.BMP in your game.



Check. I am assuming by verify you mean open the CHITIN.key file and see if each of those files mentioned are present. First time using Near Infinity, so I want to be sure I am doing this correctly. I did find each of those files. Is there something else that you can suggest?

When you open Near Infinity you should get a display that looks similar to Windows Explorer. Look in your OVERRIDE folder, your BMP folder and your MOS folder and your TIS folder and your ARE folder for those particular files. Your chitin.key file will have the references to the .bif that contains but if the bif is missing, or the area got modded and then the file was somehow deleted, you'll CTD.



I believe that all of those files are there, i did find them. Is there something else it could be?

edit:
I am thinking that because I have all of the required map files, the problem is maybe with a creature that is created in that area? I have a couple of mods that change the creatures in that area, specifically any of the AI mods SCS 1 and 2. I just read that The Vault also changes the enemies in that room, could that be causing the problem? Or, because the game crashes immediately, does that mean that there is a problem with the area?
