Assertion Error ?

bleaker · 09-16-2001, 08:05 AM

I've been playing BG for quite some time and until now I've never had a single problem. I'm in Chapter 5 and when I enter a house that's located just east of the fair (where you speak with the diviner) I get the following error -

An Assertion failed in D:\Dev\Baldur\ObjCreature.cap at line number 8786

I would be eternally grateful if anyone out there could help me fix this. I have TotSC installed as well if that has any bearing on anything. Thanks and well met...

I had this problem but it was so long ago I cant remember exactly how I solved it - sorry to be vague!

It's a bug due to a missing .CRE or .chr file (probably .CRE as you quote it saying "ObjCreature.cap")

I think I so;ved it by copying a different .CRE file into the 'override' folder and renaming it as the missing one - infact I'm sure the error message that came up for me named the missing file as *****.CRE, so I knew what to change it to.

Having done that I could enter the house. It was just a normal house though - nothing spectacular inside. However be careful what .CRE file you copy in - it'll be waiting in the house to greet you!

Hey - I can't see my last reply so I don't know what's up with that - hope you can!

Anyway I checked it out. Copy and paste a .CRE file into the 'override' folder in your 'Baldurs Gate' folder on your PC. Rename the file "GIRLBA1.CRE".

Next time you play you'll be able to enter the house.

Thank you soo much for helping me out.

Seeing as how you said there's nothing of interest in the house I doubt I'll bother with it, I'm computer illiterate and I'm deathly afarid of messing anything up. I'm truly sorry for the double post Ertai, I'm new to the forum and when I saw how many posts General Discussion had I figured I'd post there as well, not knowing if the BG board had many posters because of how old the game is. It won't happen again. Safe Journeys...

That's ok - glad to help.

Yeah, there was just a little gold, chainmail armour, and scrolls of invisibility and friends in there...
