Custom Settlements 0.675 Bug Report Thread

[Hanno555]

Whenever I start a new game with version 0.675 it after I have created my character. The screen goes black and a send/don't send error pops up. I uninstalled M&B and cleaned out my registry so that when I reinstalled the game it was 'fresh'. Without installing any other mods I did Custom Settlements and started a new game. Crash. Any ideas?

EDIT: I found the RGL_LOG.txt file and was able to troubleshoot the problem. It now works! Thank you.

Use this thread for all your 0.675 bug related posts.

Hello I am having a situation with your mod, do not know if it has to do with Vista or not, however I feel I should report the issue. The game installs OK and begings OK, however when I click on the character the game crashes, I tried it with and without the sound add ons, animations, war cries and so on, still crashes. I have also re install it 3 times and the same happens, I click on character stats and the game crashes. I even tried the other files you have posted and Nada. Do you have any suggestions, I do not have a problem with the other mos I play. Please Let me know if there is something I am missing.

Best Regards

Not sure if this really counts as a bug, but...

In the settlement by Custow, starts with a S (Squadia or something odd like that) there is this massive... Well... Crater lake, I suppose. The AI doesn't know NOT to go down this massive hole, though, and one really can't get back up.

It looks ugly, for one, and for two it means that things can get stuck down there. This makes combat a pain in particular, as the start for the attackers and the start for the defenders goes over this hole as the crow flies - As in, the AI charges and some would fall in.

Which, while partially amusing, the player has to go down after the fallen (Assuming their enemies) as the slope is too steep for the AI to really do to well... And, well, underwater combat is a very big no.

^dittoes to that. Though it IS my favorite settlement so far, the pit(s) are just annoying.


There seem to be shaders lacking or something- we've got a case of what I call "night-light building syndrome". It's not too bad during the day, but at night buildings don't get any shadowy-er, and it looks silly. Even some Native objects have NLBS- specifically rocks and trees, but most of the new items in this mod seem to have the problem.

Oh, and some horse textures need some serious overhauling. I bought one with red barding stuff and it was such an eyesore I couldn't even stand to give it to one of my companions.

      I decided to download the latest version and play M&B again after a long hiatus. Mods coming along nicely, and the custom cities (particularly the more recent ones are great) but ive rn into a relaly anoying bug. It seems all the heroes ive collected...old and new ones alike, only have 2 inventory slots? If i add a mace to say vala;s sword and shield, or a pike, and re open he inventory, shes back to sword and shield. Its really annoying. If i remove her sword, come back and opn the mace will be back. I can eep removin gprimary weapon to ge tback itmes that have been eaten, but its hit and miss and anoying. I never had this problem before with early versions. (Im on a new pc/vista as opposed ot xp bow fresh M&B install).

eh, they generally never switch weapons (unless ranged) anyways, atleast not in my experience

I seem to crash everytime I try and see the inventory of the weapons merchant, this happens in Custow and my own town. In the beginning I am able to perchase weapons, it seems when they advance to military 2 and possibly put out patrols that I get this problem. Puts me right to desktop, any idea's?

Unless you get any other messages your error is probably from the torch. I posted a solution before (on page 2):

Spoiler

I finally managed to corner the weapon trader bug, the culprit is the torch (item 406). When loading an inventory with a torch in it the program won't work, likely because of one of the triggers attacked to the torch. Possible solutions are:
1. Change torches so that they don't appear at the merchants. You have to wait until already existing torches are removed from the trader's inventory.
2. Remove the triggers from the torch. Now it's just a club with another name.
3. Do both changes.
4. Fix the triggers. But don't ask me how that's done.

Torch with merchandise flag - this is the original code from the items file

I was under the impression that the torch fix was included within the new download? Regardless I'll give it a try.


Update:

Thanks alot, the torch fix worked... I can finally upgrade from my chipped sabre

I had the issue too and used that solution with success before, haven't had a crash since, so thanks very much

I'm getting an error message when I have more than 15 caravans to my settlement. Nothing happens, just get the message flash up.

There's no texture for the terrain outside the Silverglen scene. Once the boundary is hit, everything turns solid white.

Also, the OSP and torch fix for this mod + GE 2.5 does not seem to fix the CTD issue.

The dialog for bribing heroes and hiring mercs does not appear either.

I assume you mean Shiverglen. I checked the files, you should get outer_terrain_snow there. I will check the game this evening to see if I get the same error.
Edit: I checked both version 0.675 and the add-on, in both cases the outer terrain was shown so I can't say what happened in your game.

The dialog for bribing heroes and hiring mercs does not appear either.

Does it vanish when you are inside a settlement? If yes then I noticed that too some time ago, I made a bug report then.

You get that error when you only download part of a packed file, it looks like your download was ended prematurely - though I can't tell you why.
Compare the size of your file with the size that you see listed on the page (93.49 MB), if you have less you need to download it again.
If your file has the right size I don't know what happened.

There are tools that can help you with downloads, as I don't use (need) them I can't give you any tips, perhaps you can search for "download helper" or "download recovery" or something.

 

[Bluecheer]

Cheers ill try that.

Leechget download manager?

Some heroes don't allow add 3rd and 4th item to their slots.
Sequence is here:  "Let me see your equipment". Add lance, shield, crossbow and bolts to Varric. "Return". "Let me see your equipment" again and voila - crossbow with bolts have disappeared.

Same bug for me, it cost me some nices stuff that dissapeared...
