It was the Portrait? O for the love of crimeny your F*&^%# KIDDING ME. I would never have found that. Thanks Cujo, you're a star! But I think I know why - incorrect entries in the Portrait.mes. I actually noticed this the other day while adding my Vampire portrait but the idea that this might be behind the crash (when it goes from the normal portrait to the grey one) didn't even occur to me. Damn I'm slow some days. Of course, this means it was actually nothing to do with the Balor crash issue. And it makes me wonder why on some very rare occasions (such as when Frank was on the screen) it didn't cause a crash. I guess combat ended before the grey one got shown or something. Ummm regarding the protos.tab issue, my small investigations suggest that Allyx's most recent protos.tab is reliably up-to-date - he thinks so too
I took a look at your protos Cujo, I'm not sure what to do with it (so I did nothing with it yet), it doesn't even have Gwythurs shield fixes in it, or Darmagons NPC/Weapon/Armor "names" in it, but it does have a couple of new weapons in it (the cold iron staff and a rapier that grants +4 to hit).
Oh Bugger! well thats strange, maybe I used the wrong protos to fix stuff with I thought it was based on the latest but I must've been wrong. the raiper is the saber altho I can't think why I put a +4 to hit on it, it was sposed to be a "normal" weapon
