Is it by any chance night time? :?

:yes

Time is set to 22.00hrs when you are given Spanish Uniform before movie - after movie when you are in puerto la cruz townhall time is 22.10 approx.

Code: 
case "falar_Daudet":
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("Guibert Daudet"));
LAi_ActorDialog(characterFromID("Guibert Daudet"), pchar, "", 4.0, 1.0);	
break;			

case "ir_PuertoCruz":
StoreOfficers(pchar.id);		
SetCurrentTime(22, 0);		
LAi_SetStayType(characterFromID("Guibert Daudet"));
DoQuestReloadToLocation("EleutheraPlantation", "goto", "goto18", "ir_PuertoCruzbis");			
break;

case "ir_PuertoCruzbis":
GiveModel2Player("GypsyCaptn_7",true);
AddQuestRecord("Hunter", "8");		
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("spanish_soldier_04"), "Eleuthera_Port", "goto", "goto11");
pchar.quest.inspection.win_condition.l1 = "location";
pchar.quest.inspection.win_condition.l1.location = "Eleuthera_Port";
pchar.quest.inspection.win_condition = "check_entree";				
break;

case "check_entree":
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("spanish_soldier_04")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_26";		
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("spanish_soldier_04"));
LAi_ActorDialog(characterFromID("spanish_soldier_04"), pchar, "", 4.0, 1.0);	
break;

case "lancer_video":
PostVideoAndQuest("Bartolomeu\residence",1, "danscamara");	
break;

case "danscamara":
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("spanish_soldier_04"), "none", "", "");	
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Spanish Governor"), "Quest_Eleuthera_townhall", "goto", "goto7");			
DoQuestReloadToLocation("Quest_Eleuthera_townhall", "reload", "reload1", "danscamarabis");			
break;

case "danscamarabis":
LAi_QuestDelay("jumping_sound", 0.9);				
break;

case "jumping_sound":
PlaySound("PEOPLE\jump.wav");
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Spanish Governor")].dialog.currentnode = "gov_1";			
LAi_SetActorType(pchar); 
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("Spanish Governor"));
LAi_ActorWaitDialog(CharacterFromID("Spanish Governor"), Pchar); 	                       
LAi_ActorDialog(pchar, characterFromID("Spanish Governor"), "", 9.0, 1.0);			
break;

case "giflecole":
LAi_SetActorType(pchar);
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("Spanish Governor"));
LAi_ActorAnimation(pchar, "attack_2", "Lancer_Video2", 0.0);
PlaySound("OBJECTS\duel\punch1.wav");


Let me guess - the governor only works office hours ( lazy @?# ) :cheeky
 
:gday

Tempory work-around / fix for Governor of puerto la cruz not appearing in Town hall ( also you don't have to use the console to move after movie )

In the quest_reaction. c file change :-

case "ir_PuertoCruz":
StoreOfficers(pchar.id);
SetCurrentTime(22, 0);
LAi_SetStayType(characterFromID("Guibert Daudet"));
DoQuestReloadToLocation("EleutheraPlantation", "goto", "goto18", "ir_PuertoCruzbis");
break;



To this

case "ir_PuertoCruz":
StoreOfficers(pchar.id);
SetCurrentTime(19, 0);
LAi_SetStayType(characterFromID("Guibert Daudet"));
DoQuestReloadToLocation("EleutheraPlantation", "goto", "goto18", "ir_PuertoCruzbis");
break;


And start game from a save before entering Alice town tavern.

This will make the Governor appear in the townhall and after the movie Bartlomeu will auto walk to him and start dialog.

:doff

Now I am off to carry out Mission Impossible :dance
 
I have talked to the puerto la cruz Governor and gone into the Fort - got the keys for the prison from the Captain - in the prison Roxanne will not talk to me and Elting is not there :shrug

So what have I done wrong :sad
 
About the governor of Puerto la Cruz, I think I use a fake model not the real one.. See the files to confirm... Before releasing new quests I always test them so it's weird you've got these problems... Maybe, you have the usual bug with the Build mod quests : the quests break from time to time....

:yes xD:

I think the governor of Puerto la Cruz is jusy missing the line of code the makes him appear 24 Hrs

Missing to make him appear after "office hours" ---> LAi_SetLoginTime(ch, 0.0, 24.0)



Why Elting is not appearing I don't know - He should appear on the goto 13 locator outside Roxannes' cell but he does not appear :facepalm

I have managed to get Elting to appear in the Prison with Roxanne and talk to me :dance :dance

This is the section of code that is not being actioned in the quest_reaction.c file

Code: 
case "parler_elting":
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Elting"), "Quest_Fort_prison", "goto", "goto13");		
LAi_RemoveCheckMinHP(Pchar);
LAi_SetImmortal(Pchar, false);
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Elting")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_1";			  
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("Elting"));
LAi_ActorDialog(characterFromID("Elting"), pchar, "", 1.5, 1.0);			  
break;

I do not know why it does not work normally but when I first tried this I only executed the line

Code: 
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Elting"), "Quest_Fort_prison", "goto", "goto13");

through the console - this made Elting appear OK but he did not talk to me - he just cowered like the Spanish Captain you take the keys off. :shrug



SO --- To Get Elting to appear in the prison AND talk to you -- PASTE the following code into the CONSOLE

ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Elting"), "Quest_Fort_prison", "goto", "goto13");
LAi_RemoveCheckMinHP(Pchar);
LAi_SetImmortal(Pchar, false);
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Elting")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_1";
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("Elting"));
LAi_ActorDialog(characterFromID("Elting"), pchar, "", 1.5, 1.0);


Then Press F12 either before you enter the Fort or before you enter the Prison.


When you enter the prison - Elting talks to you automatically - if you have your sword drawn then Elting will not talk to you until you put your sword away. :yes

Now I am away to see what happens next :ixi :ixi

Hope this helps :drunk
 
When or how is "parler_elting" executed?
Maybe the trigger isn't triggering?
Otherwise, I HAVE also seen in the past where a correctly coded trigger wouldn't trigger.
Loading a savegame and trying again then DID make it work.
VERY bizarre! :wacko:
 
The example I was talking about was in the First Contact quest before we ever had the Storylines mod (if I recall). It was when talking to the Antigua "governor" (except he's not called that :facepalm ). 't Was a long time ago in any case.

In my opinion, it's the problem because I tested the quest and it worked...



To Talisman :

You're right, I need to add a line about the hours for the Spanish Governor... :facepalm

I don't know if the problem is somewhere here -- perhaps you can spot it - I don't know what to look for :shrug

I have also had a look at the dialog.c files for the quest people you talk to from your arrival in Alice town up to meeting Elting

I con not see any trigger in them either -- perhaps someone else can.

Files attached
 
then i can use this script to make Annamaria and Tia Dalma appear also in jack sparrows quest line?

as for the person u need to talk to he is near the port in alice town, took me a while to find him also ^_^

his wearing a red coat

EDIT

im at the fort in the battle for something quest killed all the enemy, talk to the npc there, he blow us up sky high, then i survive somehow... now what?

After Explosion - Roxanne should run up and talk to you - Then you go out of Fort and on to beach - talk to body of Arnaud Fontaines lying on beach ( he has been knocked out ) :yes

How did you manage to keep Montbars alive in the fighting inside the Fort --- In my game the Spanish soldiers always managed to kill him - I had to give up and cheat in the end xD:
 
Add the PotC game folder to the Windows search index.
You can then search INSIDE all files.
So if you type in "parler_elting", you'll get to see all files where that's written.
That should lead you to the trigger. It's not in that part of quests_reaction.c that you posted.

I would do this myself, but can't until I've got my new laptop...
