Hi,

I seem to have run into a problem with the Umar Hills quest. When I head over to the temple ruins map the game starts to slow down and within seconds it freezes completely. After a few seconds things start to move again, but then everything stops again for much longer, say several minutes. Then the game freeze for good. Also for some reason, no matter how I try to go to the map I always end up on AR1404 insted of AR1400, which btw seems empty. Now I've tried to look at the scripts that are firing, but apart from the ones tied to shadows (BPSHADW and DW#2INV9) going off like crazy I could't find anything wrong. (btw, is it normal that shadows start fighting shadow fiends?) So, I'd be grateful if someone with a better understanding of these things than me could give me a hand. I've attached my weidu.log and the area file+script to my post. Please let me know if I should post anything else.

Thanks,
Green

I doubt Aurora v4 is causing this particular issue, but you'll want to uninstall that and install v5 when you get a chance. This sounds like a scripting thing, so maybe the script debuggerer (wherever that is - around here somewhere) might help.

Edit: oh, and decompile your ar1404.bcs with NearInfinity or DLTCEP and post the contents of that instead (use spoiler tags if it's big or attach it). And do a 'weidu --change-log ar1404.bcs' - see the pinned megamod FAQ for more instructions.

Ok, I had a change log made for the ar1404.bsc but it said that it wasn't affected by any mods. Made one for the .are file as well with the following results:

As for the content of the bsc file:

Hope you find something in it.

Should be .bcs - obviously it's affected by mods since we can tell from the content.

Those last 3 blocks will cause loops and probably therefore lag, since they check globals without setting them or otherwise avoiding loops. Also, I don't know how often I tell people Continue() is stupid, don't use it unless absolutely necessary, but they keep using it, thinking it's somehow going to cure poor scripting.

IF
Global("CbInformedAboutRoots","GLOBAL",1)
Contains("CB901CMS","ClubMossCont") // Club Moss
Global("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ContainerEnable("ClubMossCont",FALSE)
TriggerActivation("ClubMossInfo",FALSE)
Continue()
SetGlobal("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",3)
END

IF
Global("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
TriggerActivation("ClubMossInfo",TRUE)
ContainerEnable("ClubMossCont",FALSE)
Continue()
SetGlobal("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
Global("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
TriggerActivation("ClubMossInfo",FALSE)
ContainerEnable("ClubMossCont",TRUE)
Continue()
SetGlobal("CbClubMossInfoClicked","GLOBAL",0)
END

I am just guessing on those variables - it still looks pretty wacky because it uses the same one all over the place, but better than using none. I guess this is from CtB or something, judging from the prefix.

How old is your install? I had a similar problem to this two years ago. I think that it has been fixed in the current version of the BWP Fixpack, but if you either have a really old version of the install or did not install the Fixpack then this could be the problem.

Hey,

thanks for the quick help. It really was the wolfm.itm ot the Every Mod and Dog wolf that was causing the problem. The thread you, Ranadiel, pointed me to suggests that the bug was fixed long ago, so I don't know how it resurfaced. My install is fairly recent, less than 2 weeks old. Anyway, thanks for the help you two!

Greetings,
Green

My 8.2 build had the same issue. I found that thread on my own and used the wolf itm in that thread to achieve a solution.

Testified several times in the German Forum. Might be incompatibility between "eMaD" and "Refinements - Heal on shifting back to human (Default)" or a problem of just emod.

From here:

Mods affecting WOLFM.ITM:
00000: /* from game biffs */ ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ 0 30 // Dispel Magic Fix
00001: ~SETUP-REVISEDBATTLES.TP2~ 0 0 // Improved Battles - "erebusant's Patching Version" v6
00002: ~SETUP-REFINEMENTS.TP2~ 0 30 // Heal on shifting back to human (Default)
00003: ~SCSII/SETUP-SCSII.TP2~ 0 1000 // Detectable spells (required for most other components)

Revised Battles - Improved Battles - "erebusant's Patching Version" v6: fine
Refinements - Heal on shifting back to human (Default): fine
SCSII - Detectable spells (required for most other components): bad!

My thread on the problem(solution in post 14)

Is this fix still needed with the current BWP 8.3?

Leomar replied no at first, but was really discussing a different CTD bug, not the slow to a crawl bug.

Thanks!

I don't know if the problem still exists in the new BWP 8.3. But there is a work-around. The cause for the bug seems to be an incompatibility between Refinements and Every Mod and Dog.
So just take a Wolfm.itm which wasn't patched by Refinements (e.g. from Refinements' backup-folder), copy it to your Override-folder and the Bug shouldn't appear.
If you are able to understand german, here is the link to the Kerzenburg-Thread: http://kerzenburg.ba...?t=38163&page=1
By the way, my install is a 8.2 and i still had the same issue.

Greetings, Henning

I'll try that fix. I tried to babelfish the german page, but they have the IP address blocked! The bug definitely showed up in 8.2 just a few weeks ago. I started over because of that and the Boo bug, which is fixed in 8.3 BTW.

Thanks!

Just saw it in my 8.3 install. Thankfully an easy fix.
