Game crash from mods

I'll try to explain this in the easiest way to understand, knowing that it would be difficult to ascertain the problem without seeing everything for yourself. Which begs the question, and would probably solve all of this right here, right now - is there a "file checker" to see what would cause a crash?

 

That being said, the description has all the mods I have installed - but my game also includes the latest 1.03 patch, with most of the downloadable content and the expansion, and, of course, the Mod Manager.

 

My crash happens when I go to create a new character and I cycle through the presets of different female faces. There seem to be a lot of presets, but the last one I can look at is a bald look, and then the game crashes to the desktop when I try to look at the next one.

 

I was also having some issues with installation, too. I'm not sure if I did it right, but it looked like these mods wanted me to extract the folders (with all the files still in the folder) to bioware/dragonage/packages/core/override - not take everything out of the folders and just place all the individual files in one confusing lump in the override folder itself. It seems like it would make more sense with the former.

 

Another thing was a compatibility patch with two of my particular files that required me to delete a "chargenmorphcfg" in my "More_Hairstyles" folder, and to replace it with another, newer one - this was the file from Bidelle's makeup (Chargenmorphcfg file v4 1). I'm not sure if I was supposed to do that either, though it said it was for compatibility issues with More_Hairstyles.

 

Anyway, I hope that's not to confusing.

 

** In some quick sleuthing, I found out this had to do with that last bit with Bidelle's and the Hairstyles. Deleting the original More_Hairstyles .xml file and replacing it with Bidelle's causes the crash, but moving the original back in its place fixes this. Although, I no longer have the tons of presets I supposedly should have with Bidelle's mod.

Disregard - I found out that, apparently, I needed to have all of the mods in the compatibility patch. Redesigned needed More_Hairstyles and Bidelle's, and Bidelle's needed the other 3 mods for it all to work. Slightly funny, in an almost irritating way.

there's a really heavenly utility on the nexus for the chargenmorph issue that will solve it for ya in 3 clicks my friend

 

nexus seems to be down at the moment - just search "compiler" and download da_chargenmorphcompiler.exe

I've used it, its a really nice utility. Unfortunately, if one of the mods doesnt have a chargenmorph file already made for it (which a few of them don't) it won't create one. All it does is compile existing files, not create ones that dont already have one. So its good to know how to make one from scratch, in case you get one that doesnt already have one.

I'm glad you like it DarkeWolf, its one of the reasons I mention in the readme & project page that I'd like it promoting as much as possible, and I'd like to extend my thanks to everybody who is getting the word out about the program.

 

The reason most modders moved away from including a chargenmorphcfg.xml file was probably the amount of complaints they got about their mods not working (due to multiple chargen xml files). If enough modders become aware that a safe, automated solution is now available, it's better for everybody. I have got future plans for a couple of new features but I'm working on another project atm so I'm not sure when I'll get around to implementing it.
