Working on Kits...

[Brave Sir Garrick]

Hello all,

 

I recently re-entered the world of game modding and ran into a bit of a snag. I had just finished editing all kinds of 2das and dialog.tlk. My kit seemed ready to try out and test, but during character creation the game crashes whenever I click on any of the class choices. I had run into this problem before, but cannot remember what file it was that was affecting this.

 

Anyone have any idea as to what is causing this, and/or how one might go about fixing this? Thanks.

Did you do it with WeiDU or other methods?

 

At exactly what point does it crash? When you click on a class to display kits or when you have picked a kit and proceed to the next stage? The former suggests your K_X_X.2DA files are broken, though if you didn't use WeiDU it might be a pain to fix whatever went wrong.

It crashes when I click a class to display the kits, yes. I have not been using Weidu. I've been using IRE, a mac Infinity Engine editing tool. I'll take a look at those .2da files you mentioned, I might have made incorrect entries into them or something.

Try replacing them with the originals - you won't see your kits, but if it stops the crash it suggests that is where the error lies.

 

In any case, I think WeiDU works on Macs so I would really recommend looking into it for kits.

Indeed, it's much easier and faster to make even a single kit with WeiDU than it is to do it in an editor .

Ah, thanks for the help guys. I fixed the problem though, apparently the application I was using had been corrupting the files. I now use Near Infinity (which is quite awesome).

WeiDU will still be better if you want to distribute your creations (and even if you don't).
