Can't find animation error

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 6:41 am

When trying to enter Census Office (start of game), i get such error:

Creature "_ACD_PracticeD_B00000000" has no animation groups.
Morrowind will crash!
Actor Animation problem with "_ACD_PracticeD_B00000000".
This actor has no Animation class!


I tried binary method to find the cause, but no luck. Bug starts aproximately when i have over 111 plugins enabled, no matter which is the 111th plugin.

Also, i have tried changing view and AI distance, but to no avail.

Current plugins i'm trying to use:

This.

Use MGEgui only to set options for MGE. Do not run it during the game. I believe that MGE's documentation states that, though I may be a bit out of the loop.

Even if it doesn't solve that specific problem, it will prevent others.

If you are familiar with any other searching tool (total commander, agent ransack...), use it, else use standard Windows search, things to search are the same
- right click the Morrowind\Data Files folder
- choose search (or find, I don't have english version of Windows installed)
- in the search options, choose *.es? as file name and _ACD_PracticeD_ as text to search inside the files
you should be able to find mod(s) containing a reference to that practice dummy

It's pretty obvious to see that "Creature "_ACD_PracticeD_B00000000" is an animated practice dummy.

You don't have http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2500 in your current Load List, but it is Acidbasick who uses the "_ACD" prefix, and that mod does place one in the Census Office.
There are other mods that use these dummies, http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2213, but you also don't have that one in your current Load.

But, you must be using a mod that incorporates Acidbasick's dummies into your game.

I'm sorry if i have made it not exactly clear - the MGEgui.exe is not running while i play (it is actually not possible, there's some hidden safeguard in the program that prevents it) - i just meant that i use this applications provided graphical enchantments.

But, you must be using a mod that incorporates Acidbasick's dummies into your game.

Hopefully i'll be able to Google for it, thx :)

Another new thing i'll have learned while getting my Morrowind to run - and thank you :)

Ahh, okay. :) I misunderstood that because of the term MGEgui. The application that enhances the graphics is called MGE (Morrowind Graphics Extender), the term MGEgui refers only to its setup program. A while ago it was a common error to have MGEgui active while trying to start Morrowind, it's good that there's a safeguard in place now.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help you with your problem. Hrmmm ...

It's a bit odd that the error happens "around" the 111th plugin. If it were always the 111th plugin (no matter which one is the 11th), then it might be useful to check the 110th more thoroughly (though you'll probably need a specific tool to find out which plugin loads as the 110th, they don't load in the order listed in the readme).

I note that you're using a "Merged_Dialogs.esp". That's unfortunately a bad sign (usually) - this file gets created by TESTool, either by specifically lmerging dialogue or by pressing the evil "Just Fix It" button. If you pressed that button, then there's a good chance that several plugins are broken now and it might be difficult to repair them. If you didn't press that button, then just remove the "Merged_Dialogs.esp", it tends to cause more trouble than it's worth.

For now it has only made dialogs to load longer, which i don't much.


As for the animation bug, thank you all, yes, the dummy models where responsible and your method of finding and getting rid of them was useful.


In case anybody else will have such problem in future, the problematic mods were these:

If you don't mind my asking, has Jasmine had any issues with her dialog? The mod is very dialog intensive and I've heard that using merged dialog is not a good idea for that type of mod.

Trust me, it will cause problems sooner or later. I highly recommedn removing it and Updating/Repairing any save files with Wrye Mash.

and I;m glad you fixed your animation errors :)

@Semigall:

I see you have both

£exa's Dwemer Alchemy V2 (EN).esm
and
Dwemer Alchemy Set (1.00 R3).esp

in your game file list. Having the *.esm enabled renders the Alchemy Set plugin useless.
