I'm in Arnika after returning from Trynton and after walking past the entrance waterpool the game crashed backed to XP with the following message:

ERROR: You are viewing a message intended for the developers of Wizardry 8. Please report the following to technical support.

Debug assertation in module C:\Projects\Wizardry 8\Local Code\MonsterGroup.cpp line 1885 failed:

Expression [FALSE] evaluates to false.

MonsterGroupCalcDefaultDisposition:Monster species 393(HLL officer) NPC data not found

Does anybody have any idea what this means. I've tried to reload from a couple of different saves, but I still get the same message.

You should be able to fix this bug by going into Mad God's editor, clicking on monster editor, selecting the HLL officer in question, and unchecking the NPC box. Then just save, and you shouldn't have trouble in Arnika anymore. There have been reports of faction problems in Arnika with this mod, so don't be surprised if the Higardi suddenly go hostile to you for seemingly no reason. Hopefully all this will be resolved in the next version of the mod, which is already in the works! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tried that and it worked, but now Antone won't trade with me any more.

For more on this faction issue, you may want to see this thread on the VN boards:

I just went with the flow. I got attacked in Arnika when I came back and just kept playing. The first time it happened Antone still traded with me, but this time no dice. Also when I got to Trenton Anna got hostile and I had to kill her. Now I can't get any electrodes for my gadg. It makes it interesting that's for sure.

Strange. I just finished Arnika and Arnika-Trynton-Road. There was no attack in Arnika. A friend of mine told me about a crash after he talked with Rattus Rattus but I had no problems after I met him.

The whole game runs perfect ( 'til now ).

Update:
There was a crash after I killed the woodspirit at the entrance to the tree. I killed it with Belkin's Shocker Glove and after that I got a developers message from W8. Unfortunatly I couldn't save so I had to repeat the combat. This time without problems ( last hit was an arrow ).
