How are you checking the creature after all that installs? In mine, the BGMIminhp1 was in his inventory. Even if he had 25 of those it wouldn't matter because they don't do anything. He isn't going to crash the game. Now he has the amulet BGMINHP1 either by CRE edit or a TP2 revision. I say we have succeeded, somehow.

Well, sometimes I use Near Infinity but most of the time I only take a quick look at it with a hex editor.How are you checking the creature after all that installs?
Like I already said, I totaly agree with this. I was just curious about how something like BGMIminhp1 can happen, because the (original) tp2 uses valid code and it should not lead to such an error. That's why I tried so hard to reproduce this.Even if he had 25 of those it wouldn't matter because they don't do anything. He isn't going to crash the game.

Thanks for all your investigations, Taimon 
I got a headache from it. From what it looked like, the DW#SARR4 was the one overriding the BGMINHP1 from BGT as it was invalid category. The other miscoded BGMIminhp1 that just said give it to him, which seems to go in the inventory. I looked at my old one and he did not get any effective MINHP1 item. erebusant's versions in his posted rar are a bit different than what I initially got. Maybe a weidu version?
If you look at my posted CRE, the DWSARR4 item replaced and shot out the BGMINHP1 and then added one (BGMIminhp1via TP2 to inventory). You should be getting that in your tests because that is how it was coded remember? The DW#SARR was copied to amulet and should have been belt. Shown earlier in the original TP2.

I guess, we should drop this here. The underlying problem really is the creation of that BGMIminhp1 (since the minhp1 is supposed to overwrite MAGE06 and not end up in the middle of the BGMINHP1 string), which leaves sarevok without a minhp item. (It doesn't matter that BGMINHP1 get's pushed in the inventory, as long as sarevok still has another minhp item equipped.)

Right on, it is quite perplexing and you are very talented at the WEIDU coding. I have not invested a lot of time on understanding WEIDU, but I will eventually. I am just glad we all got together and did it. Power in numbers? I wasn't even there yet in my game but wanted a solution. Hope you can get to your game and enjoy it without all this tech stuff for a bit.

You know, this is actually a real problem here.Hope you can get to your game and enjoy it without all this tech stuff for a bit.
When you start doing those tech things, you somehow forget about playing the game.
Quick summary of erebusant's tp2 fix for anyone who is still following this thread:
- removed the MAGE06 -> minhp1 replacement
- changed the item slot for dw#sarr4 from amulet to belt

I've got Erebusants files but not sure what to do with the text snippet - do I paste that into the SCS tp2 as well?
Just to make sure:
1)pre Sarevo (do you have to take off the pre and put in override before install?)
2)post Sarevo (do you take off the post and put in override after SCS?)
3)Sarevo as he should be post(take off beginning and put in override after #2?)
4)Sarevo.txt (do you copy this to somewhere in the tp2 before install?)
Or are these files for comparison only. Because I believe Hoppy's fix works as well if I have to put that in. Either one as long as it works.

I was finally able to solve this case.
To reproduce this, I also needed to install the "Improved Durlag's Tower" component.
And to be more specific: I needed to install them in one go.
(It does not happen, when you first install durlag's tower, quit weidu and then install the improved final battle.)
We must have been blind or something because the error is right here:
The WRITE will use the previous value. (And the READ will go into a variable like %[previous value]%.)
So the READ_LONG should rather look like this

So this is a multi-platform installation issue then? It wouldn't occur if you had a .tp2 designed specifically for BGT and a different one designed for Tutu?I was finally able to solve this case.

It's a coding error/typo in the tp2 and, depending on what mods you install before, can happen on Tutu/BGT or anything else and it is easily fixed by removing the %s in the READs as shown in the diff.

i kill sarvok and the end movie shows, then it cuts back to game screen and then it crashes. i have bwp installed. has anyone encountered this issue?
