hey westly, just installed your alakazars lamp mod and am running into a bit of an issue, you see I got everything installed just fine and got all the errors i found in my game figured out, except for one, whenever i enter to the interior of the lamp, i immediately CTD. at first i thought it may have been a warning i missed since i did a yes to all. but alas no issues there except missing body parts for the clothes...have you encountered or heard of any similar reports? i haven't been active within the last year or so with morrowind so i may have missed something vital...

Note: this was intended as a PM to you westly, but im assuming your inbox is full lol

This is the first I have heard of such issues since AL's release. From where did you DL the mod (the current PE page or was it from my initial temp DL's upon the mods first release)? If the latter you might be missing some files that were later included on the PE download.

What are the errors exactly? Are you given any clothing ID's upon the CTD that could clue me in as to better help out? Else, I am not sure what the matter might exactly be without more information. Of course I am happy to help where I am able, so with a bit more info I hope that your issues may be sorted with little difficulty.

Take Care :angel:

I downloaded from PES, i downloaded both the main files and missing textures. As i said, any time i try to enter the lamp interior my game immediately CTD upon loading. what happens exactly is the interior loads, i get a brief glimpse of the display cases in front of me then I crash. no warnings, no error messages, just a straight CTD. it really confuses me because I really wanted to try this mod. Oh! another thing i encountered too, was a bunch of animation errors with beast tails and the like, i would of had those listed in the warnings.txt too but I used liztails anim kit to fix it thinking that was what originally caused it...there aren't any files that are required from any other mods are their like elseworld?

heres my modlist:

and warnings.txt:

Not able to find Knee part in BC_extravagant_pants_02_Mk.Not able to find Knee part in BC_extravagant_pants_02_Mk.Not able to find Ankle part in _WAR_FLIG_Ankle_Shirt.

Edit:
So i opened up the mod in the CS and took a quick look around to try and see if i could find something that could be causing this issue and i came up with a theory...

perhaps the issue did lie in with the animation issues i encountered the first time, when i looked inside and saw the genie i realized that the anim errors were caused by him and that "fixing" them with the anim kit might have broken the mod as such to where it wont play his animations now when djinn's floating there and causing me to crash...

Edit 2:
Well I decided to check a couple things out after reading a couple other posts around here about animation issues that sounded simlar to mine and am going to reinstall your mod and see if it works then, since after changing a couple settings i had previously not known werent supposed to be used I was able to actually stand inside th lamp for about 1 second and look around long enough to see a girl trying to dance when i crashed lol...If i still crash after reinstalling I'll let you know.

Edit 3:
Ok so got everything reinstalled and upon entering the lamp i received the following messages THEN a ctd...



hope this helps.

Bumpdate, Any news westly?

This actually is no thing that Wes can help you with. It's not a specific Alakazar's Lamp issue but a mod interferring one. I run Alakazar's Lamp without problems so far - I use it for ages.

The animation problem gives you the CtD but I also run Animkit and use Liztails bodies.

Try to use the mod as the only one activated. You don't have so many files, it isn't that much work. Try it on a clean install (that's easy, just install a second copy) and look if it works then. If not maybe it's just an install error.

yeah i'll try it, but i doubt its an installation error, i reinstalled twice lol.
i used liztails animkit too but that didnt help, it just made the error messages disappear.
i'll try a clean save and see what happens.

Seriously though, Wes. Clean out your inbox. :whistling:

ok, well i got a fresh test of the mod with only it and better bodies loaded in and i still crashed.

heres my warnings txt.

New install or the one with animkit?

neither, since having the issue i had uninstalled the anim kit and unchecked a couple things off of the MCP corresponding with animations.

this was a clean save with only the two above mods mentioned.

You haven't tried any of the new animation tweaks floating around have you?

i do have animation compilation installed along side animated MW 1 & 2...

EDIT-

Before i uninstalled the Anim Kit i did have dirnaes anim mod installed but i never uninstalled it with the anim kit, so maybe that would be the problem? which would probably mean i would have to reinstall the anim kit and uninstall the animation mods it detects and do a full reinstall of the animations and alakazars lamp mod right?

Well which animation compilation? I use Alakazar's Lamp with Animkit, Dirnaes male and Akavir666's female animations. There are no problems so far. Jhazara dances, maybe a mod changing the idle 4 animation with another one is the... traitor... (sorry, did not know a better word and was too lazy for the translator...)

well if i recall correctly, there was a dancing animation that came with the anim kit...i'm thinking that might be my traitor as you put it

the anim comp is the most recent release with that name...forget who its by...its more recent than everyone elses...

This one. I think the removal of the bipes is your problem...
