Hi all, i have a problem.
I modded exp and karma levels and gameplay is much better but I have a problem when I get to the first Shangri-La mission.
During this mission game always crash with an error message...no problem with original patch_hd files.
Thanks...

Hi tigertank. I'm afraid it's been a while since I tried to modify any of this...
Can't see where as changing XP would effect anything so it has to be some other culprit. Best guesses are you are using an older CEF file. Be sure to get the latest CEF which I assume will be in the newest patch.dat If you are in fact using that one then whatever program you are using to make the changes might be the culprit. I recommend Notepad++. Are you using one of the newer tools here to pack/unpack and convert the file? Maybe there is an undetected problem with packing or converting you have just stumbled across... TBH I really don't know but gut instinct is that it would be the actual file itself. We have found using older files causes all sorts of crashes with v1.10 and Yeti DLC in particular.

Oh and I'm assuming you are using a save to quick jump to that first shangra-la mission to check it. Are you 100% sure the save file isn't problem? Older saves occasionally glitch with new mods. In FC3 it was so severe that Ziggy insists on everyone using new playthroughs with most updates of his mod (which is just good practice anyways)

Hi JRavens, thanks!
I used 1.10 clean files,latest tools and your precious guide(109). And I started a new game(hard difficulty).
I converted and modded a clean "CEF2050C2780F74C.fcb" and I entered exp and karma valors copied from CEF2050C2780F74C.fcb of "Enhanced Nightmare Mod" by Bontainer with notepad++.
I have also changed prices with guide 105.
No problem until this first Shangri-La mission. I played several times, also disabling gameworks effects, but crash always. I completed it with vanilla patch_HD but better leveling of exp and karma was lost.

>latest tools
Can you be specific on these. What tool do you use to pack and unpack (and what version)? What tool do you use to convert the file to txt and back (and what version)?
>I converted and modded a clean "CEF2050C2780F74C.fcb"
From what source? Which file did you extract this from?
>and I entered exp and karma valors copied from CEF2050C2780F74C.fcb of "Enhanced Nightmare Mod" by Bontainer with notepad++.
Do not copy and paste. There is a good chance that amount of lines has changed or some kind of syntax error is occuring with copy paste. Instead MANUALLY change several of the entries using notepad and re-convert, re-pack and test to see if causes any crashes.
>No problem until this first Shangri-La mission. I played several times,
I'm sorry but I never had a crash from changing XP or karma
>also disabling gameworks effects,
Sorry I don't know what this means.
>I completed it with vanilla patch_HD but better leveling of exp and karma was lost.
If you cannot figure out where the problem is you may have to use the default one, finish shangra-la mission 1 and then swap the files back once your player returns to the regular gameplay.
Unless anyone has any other ideas.
It's kind of hard to troubleshoot something like this without experiencing it myself (and I am NOT modding FC4 right now - too many other distractions in my life)
Also I don't mean to be in any way rude but are you using a full version of the game (not cracked)? Are you using the North American release or a different release (not that it should matter for those files...)?

Clean fcb file from thread "Clean Copies of v1.10 files".
Tools from thread "Modding 100 Tools".
Thanks JRavens, I try the "manual procedure" with notepad++ and not copy-paste.
Changing file after shangri-la mission is not an option...because i dont play it at beginning.
