Ok - here's a big list of troubleshooting steps i would go through.
Have you waited at least a minute (time it) to see if it's actually hung up, or if it's just a character not having a valid combat option so stalling until their turn times out?
How is the combat being triggered? (proximity, alignment change, damage, etc)
Has the alignments file been added to the MOD directory?
What are the alignments of the bad guys/ followers /player controlled characters?
If you change all enemies to Evil_Npc and all people on your side to Hero, does it work?
Same for evil and good?
If you make the follower part of the party instead (check the IsPlayer), do they have a valid weapon? if you hold control while not in combat, can they attack?
is the "canFight" marked on all characters?
