Game lockup at end of char gen w/ Shiloh DS - Desert Succubus installed

Post by Cloudancer » Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:57 pm

I have been trying to get Shiloh DS - Desert Succubus (http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/38093//?#)to work with TTW, but have run into a problem.  I'm hoping someone can give me a hint as to where I might look to fix it.  I'm used to FNVedit, but pretty green in GEEK for what it's worth.


With the mod installed (and Ling's pretty things that it requires), I can start a new game and successfully get through the character generation with races other than the Desert Succubus.  However when I try to create a Desert Succubus, the game hangs completely right after you answer yes to the last character generation question (it's something like: "Is this the character that you want").  It doesn't CTD, it simply sits there with the character editing device on screen and nothing happens till you kill fallout.


I've spent a fair amount of time in FNVedit and GECK with it now and can't figure it out what's causing the hang.  I know that the mod over-rides the VCG04ActivatorScript script, but even when I replace it with the original (or the one from oldworld blues) I get the same result.  I don't see anything else obvious that might be causing the issue (other mod changes are additions or pretty harmless like adding to lists).  So I think whatever is going on may be something that the mod isn't providing or a mod provided script that is called at that point because of something I don't understand.  


That leads to my question:  Can anyone tell me what happens right at the end of character generation (scripts called, quests executed, whatever) or point me to a resource that will help me figure it out?  Hopefully I can use that to narrow down where the problem might be (and learn for my next project too).


Thanks - Greg

Hang on to that question.  In the grand tradition of Murphy's law and finding lost things when you stop looking... I noticed that Desert Succubus doesn't have child and old races.  I'll work on adding them and see if that doesn't solve the problem.

Yep, you got it - it is in the FAQ too - for TTW to support custom races, the race needs to have a child race filled out so that you can make it through the chargen as a child.

That did it :). Assuming the mod I built to add the other races doesn't have other problems as I play, I'll upload it.  Will probably be a couple weeks till I get that far though.
