Hello everyone,
I just translated "Buy A House Overhauled" into German using the "ESP-ESM Translator", but when trying to start OpenMW (the original mod works), it crashes with this error:
The "ESP-ESM Translator" utlity could be buggy. The important thing to know is whether Translation.esp works in vanilla Morrowind. If so, please attach the file here.
Ok, here is the file:http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php ... 7134931466
Altough I have no way of testing it in vanilla morrowind, as it doesn't even start on my PC (part of the reason I switched to OpenMW).
Also, the original mod works, whereas the translation crashes OpenMW before reaching the menu.
ESP-ESM Translator saves script bytecode size (the one inside SCHD subrecord) incorrectly; it doesn't match the size of the SCDT subrecord. Vanilla Morrowind doesn't complain, but from my testing it can break script execution.
We could work around the problem by removing the size check (OpenMW does not use that bytecode anyway), but the best course of action is to contact the author of the tool.
