Crash when loading my cell

Post » Thu Jan 14, 2010 2:18 am

I'm working on a mod and I've encountered a really frustrating bug. Whenever I load a cell it works fine, except for the one damn cell I want to work with! Whenever I load my bar cell the GECK just closes, no error, no nothing...it's just gone!

I have no idea what's going on, so I hope some of you do.

Hiya Urge,

Not sure on the problem?, Maybe try FO3Edit see if anything is conflicting?

Good Luck

You probably have a stray reference - an object that no longer exists in the game files (or was renamed), but that your cell still thinks is there. You get a null pointer, instant CTD.

CJ577 has the same advice I would offer, load that puppy up in FO3Edit and it will give you any errors on missing files or out-of-place stuff.

Do you get the CTD both in the GECK and In-Game as well? Or is this Only a GECK crash?

I have seen this when I try to apply a texture set to certain furniture objects. Instant CTD in GECK and Game upon reload of the cell.
What things did you last do to the cell before it started to CTD on you? That is usually a good clue.

I changed the sheets on a bed from blue to red. Not sure how I can change that when the GECK crashes though. I've already loaded it in FO3Edit, but I know nothing about that program...I just loaded my esp. and used the "check for errors" option, nothing happened.
