    That's truly strange to happen. I would expect that to be more with the installation of the game on your computer. But, that is okay because Hickory Branch game map is going to change...change a lot and be totally different and new.

    Don't worry, that is also changing...no more casual hack-n-slash. When peops play the upgrade version of the Hickory Branch MOD after it is released, I expect most peops will become horrified in utter terror. There will be ancient unspeakable terror to fill all with fear.

    How? I am not sure how can that problem be connected to the game installation on my comp? You must know something I don't :)
    And I must say I was totally surprised by the Map, "stolen" from D2 ;)

    I didn't say my comment with any negative feelings, just that it was funny to me to come to one map one level and leave 2 levels higher (not something that normally happens in D&D). But if you can remove some of the fights and put in some quests that would be cool.

    Also I wish that map was for higher level chars (like lvl 12 and above) because no place in the game is. I really don't want to just rest in some place to get experience to see higher level abilities :(

    I would asume that the sword in question is fragarach - cos in vanillia ToEE it's a greatsword IIRC.

    ...in which case "I got Fragarach from Prince Thrommel" would have been a slightly more useful bug report than "I got a bastard sword from a mob that showed as a greatsword - please fix".

    There's a crashbug in one of the files uploaded in the past two days. Prevents the game from loading. Possible map problem? Not had chance to isolate it yet, so just a heads up really.

    Hmm... If by that you mean one of my fixes... It works fine on my PC. :shrugno:
    I don't know why should it crash... I haven't done huge changes in the
    game's files. I just added your item for the new quest and inserted the
    description... You might want to try Invensource.mes... It may also be
    responsible for Nulb crashes. I wanted Ah Fong to sell my new items,
    so I added them to his Invensource entry. The thing is that his items
    don't respawn in the shop, which may be causing some memory leaks, or
    even crashes... If that's true, that means I'm the culprit of the infamous
    Nulb crash.

    -I haven't installed Ax's Corsair re-release and the Icklefixes yet.

    Sorry Maggit - the way it's crashing seems like it may be a map problem with the Corsair stuff but as I won't have chance to test anything until later today, I'd rather not point a finger. It could be something I've done, heh. :twisted:

    The only place I changed the sectoring is over by the corsair itself and that sector was only modified enough to allow one onto the deck of the vessel... easiest way to check that is to move the jump point onto the dock and not actually do any resectoring.. However if there is a problem with it I want to know.. maybe I misunderstood Allyx's instructions when he gave them to me..

    I don't know where the bug is... but I remember playing through
    your corsair mod (the first version) without any problems... Hmm...
    come to think of it... didn't you add something new to protos that
    appears inside the ship? I noticed that protos were missing in the
    re-release (I don't remember whether they were present in the
    first one though).

    I removed the expensive items and only left odds and ends you would find rotting in a hold... someone mentioned an expansion from there and I'm working on some basic ice caves to start voyaging on the corsair.. definitely wont be as big or elaborate as Hickory Branch, just something to give alittle diversion from the normal game.. something that an adventurer might run into on a daily basis.

    On my install, the game crashes when loading up sectors (along the blue bar on the loading screen if that makes sense). Not sure what's going on to be honest as I've discovered I've been a stupid boy and not backed up before installing the last few things. Will have to reinstall from scratch sometime this week.

    It could be something I've done if no-one else is reporting any problems with the corsair stuff. As I said, just a heads-up.

    When protos that are in the game, and used in the game are subsequently removed, the game will crash when loading the sectors (the item in the sector is no longer in protos) which may explain the CTD? Ax Thrower can you double check that all the items you used in your mod still have protos.tab entries please?

    The crash could also be caused by the differences in the protos.tab file in the Corsairs mod, and the current 5.0.4 CMF version, I beleive maggit added his new armours to some restocking shop inventories which would also crash the game if they were not in the protos.

    When I make the CMF files I use beyond compare to add/update each mod to my own files to insure that all items that are used by the mods are in the correct files.

    Let me rephrase my statement, I removed the MOB files not the protos Items, and did not add any new protos items, hoewever I will review and confirm

    I have just confirmed by looking at the download that there is NON a protos.tab file in the .zip, therefore a protos variation (on part of the Corsiar mod) is not the issue.

    If no-one else is having issues loading the game with the files posted then the simple answer is something I've done has caused crash bug :)

    Have time tomorrow to play the reinstall game so will do then. Apologies if this is what it is.

    Can't for the life of me figure out how I've managed to break the game though. Can I claim a personal first if it does turn out to be me? :nerd:
