hey @Zayn Malik . Yes its weird that unpacking and then repacking without any changes will freeze your character
Or maybe the freeze is from your 1st attempt to merge the mods. Did you try creating a new character using your 2nd repack mod?
Also what kind of freeze are you seeing? Is it the character has no animations but can move around the screen? Or it can't even change position?
EDIT
About your first merge attempt - if you noticed from @Viz 's last post, he made choices for which mod files would overwrite the files of the other mod per feature. So it's not just a simple one-time merge; you have to decide whch features you want to keep, take note which mod is giving those features and then merge that mod on top of the other. And it can be different from feature to feature.
Yeah. I wil explain it clearly

About the merging mod, firstly I unpack two mods, delete all the .bindat and .binlayout and raw file. Then copy all the file from Torchfun to UA (call it folder 1), but deny all the overwrite, then use the WinMerge to compare the leftover file (call it folder 2) with folder 1 and choose what I want to use. Almost the thing I merge is the SPAWNCLASS, WEAPON DAMAGE, LEVEL, ITEM NAME, RATE, DUNGEON LEVEL, QUEST LEVEL and no layout combine (I don't know how to and there is just one file conflict is town 1 and I choose to use UA's one)
And the result is my character (new clearly) is stand ,I don't think freeze is right, just can't move, it "sits still". If you want to try I can send you my mod merge file to try.
When I stuck at fixing my merge of two mods, I have deleted all character, delete the game and GUTS too.
After downloading Viz version, it works like a charm, then I unpack it, delete all the .bindat and .binlayout file and raw file too (it's hard working and it takes really long time). Try to find what is the difference between his and mine? Still stuck because I don't think my merge destroys something "important"
Then I build the the Viz ver again, nothing change and "Wala" character stucks like above.
So the final result
My mod merging: Sit still
Viz ver Viz build: Awesome
Viz ver I build: Sit still
