First time out of the vault
Hi

i updated my Restoration Project to 2.3.3, and since a can't initiate the orphenage quest in the den

when i enter Billy's House, game Crash, i did'nt manage to catch the error message.
 
It could be any of: map, proto, script, artwork, or text files problems. Unless you've been fiddling around with game files yourself after installing the game and RP, the bottom line is that something went wrong while installing the game and RP. Unfortunately, it's often the case that if you see one thing like this go wrong then you're in for a bad time, because numerous things will turn out to be broken.

Your best choice is to uninstall everything and then start over with re-installing the game and RP.
 
I managed to get the "Unable to find text" error.

I already tried to uninstall, then reinstall the game and RP, but nothing changed.
I even tried to get back to the 2.2 version, but i have the same error.
it's weird because i playe with 2.2 for a long time and the game didn't crash for this quest.
 
Delete whole Fallout 2 directory by manually, after uninstalling older version of RP.
 
valcik => this is already what i do
lujo => when, the dialog screen start showing, and then this error.

tried reinstalling 2.2, then 2.3 over it, same result.
i'm using auto intaller for windows for both version

When I had something like that, it's ussually that a line in the dialogue is too long, or missing a } at the end. I have no idea how come you're getting it, though. However, ther "lenght" which the game considers too long seems to be different for different versions (or systems, or something) because a guy I was working on a mod with had longer lines not crash, and I did.

Might be something else, though.

Also, do you strat the dialogue with the kid manually or does it start automatically?
 
i usually start the dialog, but sometimes it start automatically.
now i know it crash, i won't try to do this quest, but it too bad :(
 
Ummm, that quest is more than optional, IMO, in the pure "life is a pain unless you do it". I ussualy do it first thing I come to the den then go to Umbra Tribe for a while untill the kids bugger off.

Are you playing a translation into another language maybe?

Could you do the following - open the game folder, then open data\text\ select the language folder of the langage you're using and find the file called:

dclilbby.msg

and upload it so I can take a look?


Because if it is a missing } or text lenght bug it's pretty easy to fix. You can even do it yourself.
 
And, well, it's not a problem with this, works fine for me. And checks out.

Wait, you play in french, but you only have the english folder, how does that work? Do you have the french dialogues installed? If you do could you send the french one?

Whish I could help you beyond that.
 
i don't know how it works.
maybe dialogs are in master.dat ?

it's strange, because when i made a fresh install, french dialogs are here.
when i install Restoration Project, i only have English folder, but game is still in french.
but i got a lost of "error" on random encounter, or some dialogs with PNJ. (but that don't crash the game)
 
PNJ?

And strange, I don't know where non-english dialogues get placed, hmmm. Error means someone messed up something with calling the lines in dialogu, dialogue crash mostly happens because a { or } is missing somewhere in the .txt which contains the dialogue (every line should have the appropriate number of them in the right places) or if a line is too long (what's too long doesn't seem to be consistent, though).

The .txt you looked and worked fine for me, though.

Is the game menu (completely separate) in french, or are the dialogues in french?
 
game menu, and dialogues are in french.

But, i have some dialogs with the "error" sentence, same for some noise in EPA, for the light generator for example, as every action i do on it.
it i change my fallout2.cgf file, to put langage in english, everything is in english, and no more error sentences.

I tried re-installing everything again, keeping my savegames, but now vic has a 13'vault combination, sulik is a woman, and Marcus is invisible >_<
 
Ah, then the french dialogue msg files (which contain dialogue lines) are messed up a lot. Small syntax details in those can cause crashes, it's v silly. I'm trying to remember how exactly you get "error", possibly if the script calls an unexisting line.
