Hello Sir BB,

just curious of what CA could be i was trying to play it and (hopefully) to help u finding some bugs.

I installed .35 version (directly with your "updated" tp2 file, so just installed once) and then applied the patch.

I got a CTD when trying to access the area on the west after getting down to look for goblins.

PS: i see your "stamp" in this cool mod ... you can always enter houses without opening doors

I meant to post the same CTD but the forums were acting up at the time. Same install as Melkor same CTD in the same area.

I have had a look there BEFORE posting this thread, you spoke about a "Sunless Citadel" ... i've never played this one so i couldn't know it is the very same area i'm speaking about

Thanks,

It is the kobold that is causing the problem. My TP2 file was not copying it over correctly.

As for the doorways, check this version's Saltmarsh. I fixed the broken doors that BioWare gave you! Including the crypt.

I'm sorry but i don't have a clue about that ... what's that?

What I am finding is that BioWare sometimes has the same problems with doorways that I have. The issue is with making a closed doorway that you can't walk through and an entrance behind it that takes you to another map. If the blocked doorway is not exactly right on top of the entrance area, you see the icon change. There is a way in DLTCEP to link the doorway and closed door together so this doesn't happen. However, that doesn't seem to exist in IETME which is what I use to build the areas. I use DLTCEP later to finish the area but sometimes I forget to set the links. When that happens, you are able to walk right past the door and into the other area.

Now for why I explained all that; Saltmarsh is a copy of the Trademeet area. I found that Trademeet does not have some of the links set between doorways and new areas. So you can walk right through the door into the blacksmith or the house next door without every opening the door. I fixed this for Saltmarsh so the doorways now block you like they should. I just find it funny sometimes to see that BioWare had some of the same bugs/problems that I have.
