If game crashes, and you've got CtB installed...

CtB needs a lot of fixes and corrections, so we may as well collect them all in one place, so that The-Powers-That-Be will one day give us an updated version.
My contribution:
I was having a crash-to-desktop with Ctb-Chores, would occur just after Gorion's speech in Candlekeep.
I discovered that when a file - ar3501.bcs - was modified by either of two other mods, the file became incompatiable for some reason.
The mods are the [Summonning Cap Removal] component of Ding0's Tweak Pack, and Ding0's Experience Fixer.
I believe that the problem is due to the file itself, not by the mods' processing methods. Otherwise, there would have been many more reports of errors due to this processing. Consequently, there will probably be other files that will cause CtD's, after being processed by the two mods. We won't know until it can be narrowed down and confirmed.
So, we should stay aware of any CtD issue that occur in a MegaInstall using the two mods.
Fix/Workaround:
This only works before you install either of the tweak mods above.
We need a temporary file to mimic ar3501.bcs. Find a BCS file from somewhere, either from override folder or elsewhere. Doesn't matter which one you pick. Copy it to somewhere, then rename it to ar3501.bcs.
Before installing either of these mods, copy this mimic-file to your override. Run the mod(s). When processing is complete, delete the mimic-file from the override folder.
This works because the ar3501.bcs is stored within one of the CtB bifs, so we need a file to "stand-in" so as to avoid processing the original file that's in the bif.
What if you're already deep into a game? Well, we'll tackle that as it comes.

When the pirate in the gate district speak about velvetfoot, the world map is updated with the position of the sunset Mountains.
By reaching this sector (AR3520), there is a CTD.
In an small install, with only CtB1.8 (without BP) it's working. Perhaps it's caused by the biffing of a particular file.
does somebody know a solution to this problem?
thank you

if you already have ar3520.tiS in your override folder, move it to somewhere else - don't delete it
from your top-level game folder, you should have a copy of tisunpack.exe. If not, search for it in your game subfolders, it's there somewhere.
Run this command fron a Dos command window from your game folder:
tisunpack.exe -s -o override\ar3520.tiS CtB\TIZ\ar3520.tiZ

It didn't solve the problem.
While travelling to this sector with the worldmap, it crash ; but if I clua my team to this area, it works.
( I just try with TDD+RoT+CtB+BP+Worldmap6.4 and it works just fine : Maybe it is a problem with my megainstall )
Just for reference, here are the clua code for the main area of CtB
AR3610 //Hlondeth
AR3611 //Hlondeth
AR3613 //Hlondeth
AR3520 //Sunset Mountains
AR3534 //Snowflake Mountains

CLUA-jumping is perhaps the best simple way to get around problems like this.
A missing or biff'ed .tis file is often the common source of area-CtD problems. The cause of destination-via-worldmap-CtDs is still a mystery to me.

Then I try to wander further through the east side of this map in the direction mentionning "Hike to higher altitudes of the Snowflakes" and I got a CTD.
Does anybody know if there is some quest here and if it is possible to prevent this CTD using NI or with some Clua ?

Going to my "luxury" cabin in the Snowflake Mountains I jump on a very short map with a couple of non agressive animals. Then I discovered my 30,000 GP cabin "fulfilled with feces and urins"... I knew from the beginning this was some swindle...
Then I try to wander further through the east side of this map in the direction mentionning "Hike to higher altitudes of the Snowflakes" and I got a CTD.
Does anybody know if there is some quest here and if it is possible to prevent this CTD using NI or with some Clua ?
OOPs, I forgot. After this CTD my PC write : "An assertion failed in ChDataTypes.cpp at line number 1591"
Does it help ?

Thanks Nix. I do exactly as you wrote and manage to access to MY CABIN. Great ! There is her nothing to do except breathing pure air and hearing the silence of cold wilderness but It's a pleasure to see an other bug bitting the dust til the next one...

... Please report problem in this thread. Not that we'll be able to solve it, but we'll try!
CtB needs a lot of fixes and corrections, so we may as well collect them all in one place, so that The-Powers-That-Be will one day give us an updated version.
My contribution:
I was having a crash-to-desktop with Ctb-Chores, would occur just after Gorion's speech in Candlekeep.
I discovered that when a file - ar3501.bcs - was modified by either of two other mods, the file became incompatiable for some reason.
The mods are the [Summonning Cap Removal] component of Ding0's Tweak Pack, and Ding0's Experience Fixer.
I believe that the problem is due to the file itself, not by the mods' processing methods. Otherwise, there would have been many more reports of errors due to this processing. Consequently, there will probably be other files that will cause CtD's, after being processed by the two mods. We won't know until it can be narrowed down and confirmed.
So, we should stay aware of any CtD issue that occur in a MegaInstall using the two mods.
Fix/Workaround:
This only works before you install either of the tweak mods above.
We need a temporary file to mimic ar3501.bcs. Find a BCS file from somewhere, either from override folder or elsewhere. Doesn't matter which one you pick. Copy it to somewhere, then rename it to ar3501.bcs.
Before installing either of these mods, copy this mimic-file to your override. Run the mod(s). When processing is complete, delete the mimic-file from the override folder.
This works because the ar3501.bcs is stored within one of the CtB bifs, so we need a file to "stand-in" so as to avoid processing the original file that's in the bif.
What if you're already deep into a game? Well, we'll tackle that as it comes.
I was just checking the transition to BG2. It worked fine up to the point you mentioned then ctd. I didn't know about this till now, so the install with the mimic won't work for me. Is there another option to fix this?

Posted 23 April 2008 - 07:36 PM
Maximus2001- also if we manage to fix it try and do a named save before that auto-save point as the area will be stored in the auto. It may require going through the transition again but it will help a lot in the long run.
EDIT: Holy crap biscuits, this may be tough as 3501 is the initial area. Uh, can you post your BCS copied to notepad so it is text. It makes it easier for me so I can look at it side by side with a compiled BCS and I will try and get something cooking for you.

I discovered it a little early - thought Duke Belt would give you an option to stay in BG1 longer. Still haven't done NSOTSC, or Durlag's tower, etc.

Extra quests and stuff aren't necessary but can you get the autosave after Gorion speaks? If not, try this trick because I could load from the autosave even when it crashed and it was fine.
Try to pause right after he finishes dialog and try to save. If the game goes into auto save, too quick, try and load from the save.
meanwhile I will compare your BCS with mine.
OK, homeboy Gorion'd dialog has this as the last dialog action when you two first speak.
SetGlobal("CbPlayerOneDoesCandleKeepChores","GLOBAL",-3)
SetGlobal("CbGorionDayOne","LOCALS",1)

File is CBGORCLD.DLG if you want to check yours.

Is that a Typo, or is that GLOBAL actually supposed to be -3? Does it still crash if you change it to 3?OK i started a BG2 game just to be on the same turf. It crashed once so it may be random and I don't have Sim's XP fixer.

Also there are about 15 actions and triggers relating to that global in Gorion's dialog alone. It will be risky to change one and have other events take place correctly
