Odd. We don't do anything to that area, we just add a few items to Thalanty'r store. So if the store works if you spawn _thalan outside, it should work inside too.

So there are no issues inside the building if you uninstall the mod? Do you have an entry for Logging On=1 under Program Options in your baldur.ini file? You won't get a baldur.err file otherwise. If not then add that and reproduce the crash, then view baldur.err with a text editor and post the contents.

If none of that works, launch Near Infinity from your Tutu folder and extract the following files (or just get them from your override folder, since Tutu does not biff its resources):

fw3202.are
_ighhedg.sto
_thalan.cre

Then zip and attach them here (you may have to register to attach, but I would prefer not to go through ad-driven filesharing sites).

Edit: if an _ar3202.bcs file exists (it doesn't in vanilla Tutu) attach that as well.

Uninstalled Aurora's Shoes and was able to enter High Hedge without a crash. Melicamp was in there as well (forgot about him), but was still able to spawn him when I reinstaalled Aurora's Shoes. However, still crashed on entering the building with it installed. I do have the "Logging On=1" entry, but crashing did not produce an entry in the baldur.err file.

I have attached the requested files (except _ar3202.bcs - could not find it in override or Near Infinity).

Kind regards,

There is nothing wrong with any of those files. But they also appear to be files without Aurora installed (the store does not have our items). Can you reinstall the mod and extract and attach those files again. You may as well include _melica.cre, _fgolem.cre, fw3202.wed and _halantr.bcs. I can't think of any other files that could cause this.

Did you by chance install Aurora during a game in progress, or did you start a new game after installing it? Was Melicamp already back in human form? If so, I think that explains it, because we do this in the code:

COPY_EXISTING ~_halantr.bcs~ ~override~
  DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF
    REPLACE_TEXTUALLY CASE_INSENSITIVE EXACT_MATCH ~Polymorph(MAGE_MALE_HUMAN_LOW)~ ~Polymorph(MAGE_MALE_HUMAN)~
    REPLACE_TEXTUALLY CASE_INSENSITIVE EXACT_MATCH ~Polymorph(20992)~ ~Polymorph(25088)~
  COMPILE_BAF_TO_BCS
BUT_ONLY

If Thalantyr has already polymorphed Melicamp back to MAGE_MALE_HUMAN_LOW, that will crash the game. (Consoling him in should create him in native chicken form, which will be fine.)

I did in fact install Aurora during a game in progress. And yes, Melicamp was turned into his human form so I think you have found the problem!

Oddly enough, some of the stores have been updated with Aurora's items (such as the Temple of Lathander outside Beregost), but not Thalantyr. Also, I had to manually spawn Karaea, I was unable to enter her "lair" (no "open door" marker at the coordinates), and was likewise unable to enter the cave north of Nashkel (again no "open door" marker). I will try to start a new game and see if these locations become accessible and if Thalantyr gets some new items. Will upload those files if starting a new game does not fix things.

Thank you for your assistance!

Kind regards,

Yup, not starting a new game after installing the mod will cause all those things (and hence, starting a new game will solve all those issues). I'm actually surprised you didn't get any crashes sooner than this. Stores and areas are stored in saved games, so if you've already visited them, you won't get the versions modded by the, uh, mod.

[deeh]

Restarting solved most of the issues (able to enter new areas, Karaea spawned by herself etc.), but Thalantyr still did not have any new items. Will he always have new items with the mod, or is it random?

[Miloch]

It is random, as is a lot of stuff in the mod. If the items aren't in Thalantyr's shop, they'll be somewhere else.

[deeh]

That explains it. Thanks for all your help
