SmartMerger:

I've been told apparently the previous thread has been locked for maximum posts, which i assume was caused from the poll. Anyways. Current version is 1.7b.

Anyone with questions or comments, please post here. Quite often when I'm around I'll post within hours or sometimes minutes of your post.

I tried 1.7b

Normal build: "Smartmerger has stopped working"

Cygwin build:

D:\Morrowind\Data Files>SmartMerger.exe Morrowind.esm Tribunal.esm Bloodmoon.esm
--reference --load_ini test.esp

1.6 worked fine

EDIT:
smartmerger Morrowind.esm --reference "Texture Fix 1.8.esm" test.esp doesn't work either. Smartmerger tells me something about duplicated INFO ids even when Texture Fix has no INFO records.

I was contacted not long ago about a similar issue. Seemed when I turned on Optimizations on 1.7b, it would fail on the Cygwin version. I've already uploaded the non-optimized version (Says 1.7c but it's still 1.7b). If it still doesn't work with the updated un-optimized version, link where I can get that esm and I'll try figuring out what's going on.

You are definitely going to get 'duplicate ID's'. There are 200+ duplicates in Morrowind.esm. You can either ignore them, or add --no_dup_id_check before the output file (Preferably before loading any files, but your choice). Perhaps I need to add a check not to worry about ID's that are deleted/referenced.

File Error

Greetings File Traveler, there has been an error accessing your file.

This could be because the file has been removed, is broken, or is an issue with your browser or security settings. You could also be receiving this error because you are less than 18 years of age and trying to access an advlt rated file. Feel this should be fixed? Contact our editors at FPOps@IGN.com

Should you reach this error again, you may also contact Customer Support.

looks like the download link is broken

looks like the download link is broken

Updated the main and alternate ones. I wonder why it keeps doing that to me...

Now this is really strange. If I use: smartmerger Morrowind.esm --reference "Morrowind Patch Project v.1.6.5-BETA.esm" test.esp , SmartMerger crashes. If I use --debug it runs fine.

EDIT:
SM crashes when I use my full load order. This is the output before the tool dies. I used --debug:

That's a symptom of a variable being used before it's been initialized, however it becomes pre-initialized through a printf call. Haven't seen that for a few years.

SM crashes when I use my full load order. This is the output before the tool dies. I used --debug:

Aside that it's trying to merge the TES3 record, which shouldn't happen (EXCEPT right after a --reference). Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me.

So it just crashes? Does it do a SIGFAULT, ASSERT or some other error?

» Sat May 28, 2011 4:02 am

Well, I don't know if it's a segfault or something else. I only get a "Smartmerger has stopped working" error. Windows tells me that it is an APPCRASH error.

I also got those on files it couldn't open because they were locked (Open with another app). Quite annoying.

Here's the output of the cygwin version:

Looks like 1.7c didn't fix the problem after all.

There isn't a 1.7c yet, it's just called that so you know it's not the same file download.

I'll take a look at it a bit later, I'll check back within the next few days if I find a solution.

any news?

Not yet.

Haven't been sleeping well, been occupied on other things. Plus I haven't been in the mood to program & debug. Nothing quite like forcing yourself to resume something and fiddle with it an hour before you put it down with no progress, instead to just throw on a movie with some coco. (Actually that sounds good right now)

For now if 1.6.4 was working, might stick with it for now.

Good choice. Forcing yourself will result in more bugs and other things. I can wait

I will try.
