Save Won't Load : III

» Tue May 04, 2010 4:56 pm

I was messing with some stuff yesterday, and I made a merged object esp, a merged dialogue esp, and a merged leveled list esp with TESTools.

After I did this, my save won't load, even if I disable all of the merged esps. I get a host of MCA related errors. The first one is "could not locate global script 'mcac_startup'"

Same thing happened to me a few years back when Testool wrecked my game in the same way, At the time my savegame wasn't too far advanced so i did a clean install of the whole game and started again from scratch. However it is commom knowledge that Testools merge functions don't work and you should use alternative utilities for merging lists such as Wrye Mash.

Delete those merged esps you made with Testool, and try installing MCA again and see what happens.

Yah, also, try Wrye Mash for "repair all" on your savegame, and also to do merged lists with its "Mashed Lists.esp". And you might try "esper" for merging objects.

I tried deleted the MCA esm and the esps associated with it, and reinstalling it. I still get the errors, even though I deleted the merged lists, too. I tried using Wryemash to fix the save, and that didn't work. Is there any solution, or do I have to start a clean save?

I apologize for the double post, but it won't let me edit the last one. I tried it again, and just hit okay for all the errors. Last time I did this, it crashed. But this time the save loaded. I tried it again, to make sure, and the errors still come up, but I can load it. Now my problem is it's a huge hassle to go through all the errors during loading.

in your morrowind.ini

add
AllowYesToAll=1
i usually hit enter at the end of the first line and put it on the second line in the ini it gives you a third option when errors come up to skip all after the first comes up. did you save after a successful load? if you did do you get errors with that save?

Main thing is to remove the Merged Dialogue ESP. If you're having problems, could we see your mod list and the contents of your warnings.txt? http://www.mwmythicmods.com/starting.htm#6
