Hi all-

 

I'm very familiar with modding, so you don't have to hand-hold me. Promise. I created a new CaH class (full class, with 3 sub-classes - for now I'm just borrowing the Istari animations/models) and its own set of class-specific powers. However, whenever I finish on the customization screen (for name and appearance), and then click next to the power screen, the game crashes with no error message besides the "runtime failure" message. Ordinarily I would see this as a problem with the powers - something went wrong with loading them and therefore the game failed. However - earlier I had booted up the game to test this mod, and I'd found that the model animations were wonky. Since that's and easy fix, I went on to the powers screen to test the powers, and they'd been working. It's got me stumped. Any suggestions?

Well you may have some wrong link somewhere in one of the powers or a link to a specialpower that does not exist... What exactly did you change?

[acidRain]

The only thing I changed was the information for the model in createaheromodelconditionupgrades.inc. I did some testing and figured out that when I switch to a different AddConditionFlags like so...

AddConditionFlags = CREATE_A_HERO_04

to 

AddConditionFlags = CREATE_A_HERO_34

it screws up the model, but lets me back into the powers screen. So now I'm trying to figure out how to switch around the models without screwing them up.

I believe on the3rdage.net there is a tutorial on doing this, so take a look there, and try following it, perhaps you missed a small thing

[acidRain]

I actually found that and went over it several times. As far as I can tell, I haven't missed anything. That's what has me so confused.

[Ridder Geel]

Well you did give your class powers did you not?

Otherwise it might be because your class has no powers

Are there any incomplete parts in your CAH class?

I managed to find the problem, actually - it wasn't reading my armorset correctly, so it couldn't multiply attributes and resolve the armor data. That's what was making it crash. Thanks anyway!
