While trying to solve a problem with getting into Haeball's tower (solved! Thanks SBB!), I downloaded NearInfinity and had it check for "missing references." Well, 8700 hits later . . .
Anyway, there are a few areas it couldn't check because it couldn't find them in the first place, and a few other things that looked like "showstoppers" to me in terms of game continuity (i.e., if you walk "off the edge" of the map, BG seems to dump you to Windows & let you shut it down from the task list.)
Are these files important? Any idea where they came from (which mod)? Something I did wrong to make them go away, or are these issues with the other mods? (Since they're missing, I can't do a DOS directory search & find out what folder they're in.)
If I knew which mod created the file, I'd just post lots of messages in other forums or look in the other forums, but I don't even know where a lot of these came from. These are only the most important-looking ones to me -- I ignored missing .CRE's, .WAV's, .BCS's, etc.
Missing "data/progtest.bif" and "data/ProgTes2.bif", which apparently include:
XR2400.ARE
XR2600.ARE
XR0509.WED
XR1010.WED
XR1401.WED
XR1700.WED
XR1801.WED
XR2012.WED
XR2400.WED
XR2600.WED
XR5402.WED
XR5403.WED
XR5404.WED
XR5405.WED
XR5506.WED
Additionally, missing .ARE's:
AR0007
AR2621
AR2622
AR2623
FW0007
.WED's:
AR0060
AR0061
AR0062
AR0063
AR0064
AR0065
AR2906
CR0100
FW6000
DD0151.TIS
My installation is essentially the same as this:
http://www.shsforums...showtopic=19826
but I didn't install all the NPC's (he has a LOT of NPC's) and I installed "The Grey Clan Episode I" after step 8. Needless to say, I haven't gotten to most any of the mod's yet (although I did play through Sir BillyBob's Restenford thing once in a previous game).
Thanks for any help you can provide me!
How important are "missing files?"
