Errors, Failures, etc.

Hi everyone!

 

Ho hum...very recently I have been experimenting on a mod that I created. I was able to fix minor errors that WeiDU pointed out to me. However, I recently stumbled over this message:

 

ERROR locating resource for 'CHAIN3'

I was completely mind boggled and I still am. I have checked my banter file, cre file, my tp2, and I have looked at other mod files and I can't seem to find the problem. I have also looked through my banter file for an "APPEND_EARLY", but none exist. Does anyone have a clue what the problem is?

Try installing the game into a non-windows7-protected file folder... like C:\Games\BGII - SoA\ ... not saying it's the cause, but eitherway, you should, the tools in use are made with the background in 1990's, not 2010's(well, I am exaggerating, but anyway)... you also might need to either install the G3:BG2Fixpack, or APPEND in the .tp2 file so the game files include the token...

Hmm, I'll also ask you to include the .d file and the .tp2 file if the above doesn't help.

It means you haven't created the dialogue file ICE#VY. It needs to be the first thing that is compiled. You create dialogue files with:

 

BEGIN ~ICE#VY~

[Iceberg]

I installed the G3:BG2Fixpack and used APPEND, but it still gives me the same error. I already created the dialogue file ICE#VY, and it is the first file that is compiled. I will message you the files, Jarno Mikkola, if you do not mind. Ho hum...

[Kaeloree]

Compiling a.d file doesn't actually create a .DLG file. In order to create a DLG file, you need to use BEGIN ~dlg_name~. Before you do that, the DLG file doesn't exist -- which is why it's throwing an error, saying you're trying to append to a dialogue file that doesn't exist.

[Jarno Mikkola]

Yeah, the problem is within the .d file... but I hope my help on my PM will get it sorted out... sent the PM already.

[Iceberg]

Sorry for the late reply...

 

But the good news is that Jarno found the error! It works fine now, thank you Jarno and Kaeloree.
