TIS PSCK being a useful utility here as well, it worked wonders on SotW.

Egads, my typing leaves much to be desired.

how come you always look so damn cool in every photo I see you in?!?


Speaking of modding, I listened to IER 3 yesterday, so you can have another quote for your signature: how come you sound so damn cool, as well as look it? It's unfair. Seriously.

OK, now I have time. Have you been able to figure out anything yet Seifer and SConrad?

Umm...guys? I canīt really do anything if you donīt tell me what youīve tried. The "installation" works fine for me so my hands are tied. Could you at least search for corrupted important files (thatīs the only thing I can think of causing this)?

Gilgamesh, do you want me to try bug-hunting for you? I think I have a lot more time to devote to this than Seifer and SConrad, and I'm not bad at finding broken stuff.

Let me know, and if you want to send me a link or a copy I'll gladly test this for you.

Cheers my friend!

How fast is your internet connection? As you know, the mod is big and if someone is yet to download this bug-version it would be best if it happened swiftly. ;)

I got a good ISP, and my connection is really fast. Big downloads do not bother me in the least ;)

Bring it on, Gil!

It installed fine for me too, but try to actually start a new game. For me, the game crashed immediately after I finished character creation.

Seifer, SCronad

Have either of you blokes had a chance to start a new game of RoT? So far, Kai of Candlekeep and I have not been able to. The game freezes immediately after character creation for both of us. Kai PM'd Gilgamesh and he hinted at a corrupt chitin.key as the culprit.

Gilgamesh

If the culprit is indeed a corrupt chitin.key, is there any chance we could get a fresh chitin.key to test RoT with?

I can send you dialog.tlk and chitin.key again via irc or something. Let me know.

I've been looking a bit, yes, and it installs correctly. It does, however, crash after character creation, just as for the others.

I haven't had time to check deeper, but are you sure there's nothing wrong with the starting area?

There shouldnīt be. The starting area is actually ar0602 (which hasnīt been touched), but a script immediately takes you to ar9000. If the problem was indeed in an area, the game should crash only after it has loaded ar0602.

I just resent dialog.tlk and chitin.key. My modem permits 4,5 KB/s speed at max but both the files went with 8-15 KB/s. I suggest you investigate these files.

Could there be an error in the script then? I tried the new dialog.tlk and chitin.key that you sent, and I still receive a crash right after character creation.

As for your uploading speed, it doesn't surprise me. Even with an analog modem, uncompressed data (such as dialog.tlk) will transfer quicker than compressed data (i.e. any ZIP archive).

Can I try debugging it too? I already have some experience in script-debugging and I like fixing software problems.
