CTD after adding door - help

[jastey]

I use the following in the tp2 to add a door to my custom mod area (secret door, cannot be detected, will not close when opened). The area loads fine without this, the door looks ok in NI (as far as I can tell).

With the door, the area CTD upon loading. Can anyone point me to the obvious or has an idea why it leads to a crash?

Works fine for me (tried it in ar0700). There was a parsing error with "fj_closed_box_bottom   = 1512" line when I copied it from your post, had to retype it manually. Could be just Invision pulling its usual crap, though.

[jastey]

Thank you very much for checking.

 

Hm(ph), this means I have no clue what is wrong with the area - probably a mixup that only leads to a CTD once I edit the door in.

In case anyone has an idea where I should start looking / debugging I'd be grateful.

[jastey]

I applied the above code to patch AR0700.are in my game, too, and it leads to a CTD of the area, as well.

If anyone has an idea...

[Ardanis]

I also tried it on vanilla IWD setup, also works fine. Pretty sure it's either something local on your end, or you're doing something else to the area that causes CTD when combined with the door addition.

I can suggest to  try it on a clean install, and failing that upload/link the whole package that is having the issue.

Thanks for re-checking. I do have Fixpack and IA installed, but I'm only mentioning it but not to point the blame in any way. I am sure it's something local on my end, only that when I tested it on AR0700 my mod doesn't touch that area. I'll keep looking.

[CamDawg]

When I had area crashes in the early builds of IWD-in-BG2, nine times out of ten it was due to one of the creatures in the area--typically a bad animation or an item with a bad opcode. Try removing some creatures and seeing if that clears up the crash.

[Ardanis]

Problem is, it's the door she's trying to add. But otherwise yeah, if something crashes then wipe obvious suspects, and then everything else including scripts, to see if it stops. Then narrow it down bit by bit.

 

PS Assuming IA stands for Infinity Animations, there might indeed be some indirect relation. Check if the code works without it?

PPS Maybe a conflict between IA's area patching code and what's built into WeiDU? If there was an update for something EE-specific, and IA is using old code, I imagine it *could* conflict.

I should have added that I am on the old engine.

Thank you for your suggestions. My mod needs IA so I didn't try the door for a game without it, yet. I might do so, until then I'll assume my local install has a hickup of sorts.

Are they wyverns in your map?

[jastey]

Just now, Gwendolyne said:

No, not in the custom area and also not in my AR0700 (at least I think so...?). The mod uses IWD animations, though, so in the custom area there is one IWD animation like a ghost or something. This does not crash the area, though. Everything works fine as long as I do not apply the door patch posted above.

 

[Gwendolyne]

I have created a lot of doors for other modders to be added into existing maps. Do you add tis file to switch from open/close door?

I could have a look to your files if you send them by PM.

[jastey]

Thank you for the generous offer! I'll send you a PM.

It's supposed to be a secret door that only opens, not closes.
