Problem: many enemies just stand around

[Guest marsh24]

I'm using SCS with a few components from Unfinished Business, BG2 Tweaks, and the NPC project and I have the following semi-random problem with many encounters. I often encounter packs of monsters in the wilderness who just stand still doing nothing and only respond if I engage them in meele (if attacked at range they do nothing). This also happens with other encounters such as Neira in the Nashkel inn. Her buffs triggered then she just stood there. After engaging her in melee she started attacking but did not cast any spells.

 

This seems to happen randomly, some encounters go fine while others are bugged. Should I just reinstall since I doubt this is a widespread problem?

Can you post your WeiDU.log?

Sorry I didn't post this earlier and thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry, I'm using BGT, so I don't really know, how I can help you with your problem. Perhaps someone else can help you.

I apologize for bumping such an old topic, however my issue remains and I would greatly appreciate help since I've once again gotten the calling to go through BG1 again.

[DavidW]

I think this is something localised to your system - it's quite a severe bug, but I haven't heard reports of it from anywhere else (and your list of mods looks fairly standard). At a guess, your install has got corrupted somehow, so I'd try a reinstall. Sorry not to be more helpful.

And if our quest is unable to correct the behavior of those creatures, I would suggest that if he can, to first of all; download NearInfinity from here(the .jar file at Reply #23) or some other IE moding tool... second; open the a savegame near where there is several of those monsters, push x to get the location info where the fwxxxx is the map's name... third use the map name to open the .are file with the NI, then take look at the creature files that are on the area, and determine what's wrong.

You do that by first giving us the names of the creatures(double click on the creature will show you it more specifically), giving us the names of their active script files(they are the Override, Class, Race, General scripts that are painted black on the creature screen...
