ELC errors? (HELP)

[Mistcaller]

In Avlis' custom ELC checker (DB Watcher java program) we get the following suspicious messages from time to time:

This is produced by all Wemics:

Opening Character file: SinbadSam\BraggiTwoStrik.bic
(...)
ERROR: Field does not exist [LvlStatAbility]
PASS

While this happens to few characters (the same few always), for unknown reasons:

Trying: e:/neverwinternights/nwn/servervault\Emprod\TianniIsilwynde0.bic

Has any other world developer noticed the same things?
Anyone able to help identify and hopefully fix these?

Thanks in advance

For the first one, is the right set of 2da files being pointed to in watcher.properties? (i.e. whatever they would be in the order of hakpacks?)

Also, what ECL do wemics start at? The error means that it couldn't find which ability score was raised for that ability score boost every 4 levels. If the PC starts with so many ECL that they skip the ability score raise, then this would probably happen.

For the second one - it looks like Papillion's variant of the system that uses a heuristic to try to guess the filename, rather than to just save the character from within the game, and look for the last saved character in the vault. The character probably has a really funky name. Try just changing the saved character filename to something that the heuristic would have looked for.

Thank you RG! I was hoping for your answer
You'll be missed.
