    Did you try clearing the map cache? There is an option that does this for you in ToEEFE.

    If that fails, you could try clearing the .PYC files from the data/scr folder.

    I certainly don't have problems in Nulb, and my install is virtually the same as the one you've listed.

    You could try a complete re-install, perhaps that will help, it's certainly not something that I can reproduce on my end.

    Uninstall ToEE, delete any leftovers in the installation folder and reinstall from scratch.

    ToEE
    Patch 1
    Patch 2
    Co8-5.0.0
    5.0.4 CMF

    And start a new game, I hope this will solve your problems.

    Re: crash when i go to nulb

    I actually just experienced this as well.

    I had my cache-clearing settings set to "on." My version of the mod is 5.0.4, and I installed the mod 5.0.0 and the 5.0.4 update before I started a new game. Everything else has been spectacular up until this point.

    I have not yet tried clearing the .PYC files as you suggested to aljares, but I want to make sure that doing so won't affect my game in any other way before I proceed with trying that...

    Basically, I just wanted to get it out there that there is more than one person with this problem... I'm hoping that I won;t have to start a new game (or uninstall/re-install), but if that is truly the only option...

    If it helps, I'm running a Sempron 2600+ (1.83 GHz) with XP and 1.0 GB of RAM. I have a GeForce FX 5500, and just a generic (CompUSA) 32-bit 5.1 soundcard... I am running the latest version of Directx for XP.

    Any help would be appreciated, as I am so far LOVING this mod, and want to play it until my eyes bleed!

    Thanks!

    Re: crash when i go to nulb

    Well, it seems like a complete uninstall and reinstall worked. I can now access Nulb (though I started a new game, as I deleted ALL previous TOEE files and Co8 Mod files and started completely anew.

    I have experienced a couple of minor hangs that I hadn't previously (like at the Moathouse cave exit encounter, and the Caravan Ambushed by Gnolls encounter), but otherwise, everything is working swimmingly.

    Hmm.

    Re: crash when i go to nulb

    As has been common knowledge amongst the adepts of this game for some time, occasionally sacrificing a chicken or a goat works ;)

    In all honesty, sometimes a complete reinstall cures the problem. No idea why (possible user-errors in applying patches meaning things get confused?) but it can be a PITA playing the reinstall game for a problem which only you seem to be experiencing.

    I've had this problem and it was the map and pyc files.

    ah, map files and pyc files

    ShiningTed now has a reason for knowing why to delete pyc files is needed to fix something. :p *grin*

    Grrrrrrrrr :finger:

    Crashing on map changes may well mean the map cache needs clearing: it will have nothing to do with the .pyc files (or .py files). Problems compiling the .py files mean they break - the game doesn't.

    As you well know.

    Yah, we all know clearing the map cache works wonders...I had no idea you'd enjoy that comment so much about the pyc files, Ted. :p

    Re: crash when i go to nulb

    For future reference, how do I manually clear the map cache? I searched for a folder that looked like it contained cached files, but didn;t find anything I'd be confident in deleting without the proper knowledge of what it would affect...

    Thanks.

    (And a little "haha" for the fact that PITA and PETA share almost identical nomenclature :p)

    Re: crash when i go to nulb

    Open your "Temple of Elemental Evil\modules\Co8-5.0.0\maps" folder and delete the files that are NOT in the folders - these are the map cache files.

    The .PYC files can be found in your "Temple of Elemental Evil\data\scr" folder, and it's quite safe to delete the .PYC files, but do NOT delete the .py files.

    The game will automatically create new .pyc files next time the .py file is used in the game, this is normal for ToEE. The game may lag a little bit while creating the new .pyc files as the script has to be run from the .py (source file) instead of the compiled (.pyc file).

    So, .pyc files crash and break the game then. I knew it! Delete them all!! :icon_chuc
