Fixed Escort Quest: Player Stuck in Ports with too many characters

[Pieter Boelen]

What date is displayed in your main menu?

For testing purposes, can you start a new game as Jack Sparrow and go straight to that Tavern to check if it is wrong from the start?
When I just did that, it looked fine.

Random characters removed from destination port in here: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-3-5-internal-wip-for-testing.24817
That should fix this problem.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

There is still an open question there to @Bartolomeu o Portugues on the number of BuildingSet lines used there.

Since my PC isn't repaired, I cannot check but I think I didn't add any Building Set models to the old or new Tortuga location.

Not to Tortuga, no; that was Jack's work. But added them to Havana Port.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

if necessary, you can remove the cannons from the pier in Havana Port.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Reminder to myself to reduce the number of BuildingSet in Havana Port as suggested by Bartolomeu.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

@Bartolomeu o Portugues, do you reckon some of these could be removed to prevent future issues like these?

How many should be removed?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I think there were compile.log messages about two missing BuildingSet characters.
So remove, say, 4-6 and we should be good plus have a safety margin. I hope....

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

For now, I would say the cannons from the pier + the warehouses could be removed. I don't know if it's enough. @Grey Roger could do that?

 

[Grey Roger]

I've no idea how, and anyway I remember the cannons from when I played "Assassin" and they didn't seem to cause any trouble then. That was some time ago, though, so perhaps something else has gone wrong with Havana more recently?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

The problem is only apparent through the compile.log entries which incated missing characters.
I mentioned the related code here: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/player-stuck-escort-quest-to-havana.25072/#post-507753

Ran across a bug that's been known for quite some time now, but i hadn't seen it in a while either. Somewhat unusal that it was in spreightstown though; that town usually doesn't have problems. At any rate, the merchant i was escorting didn't show up at the docks when i landed there. Somewhat of a surprise is that all the logs seem to have info on the problem, though it should be noted that i was in point a pitre before that. The system log regarding 'many characters in location' could be from there.

 

[morgan terror]

soooo, any way of fixing this? I suppose i could simply fail the quest, but this is going to happen again at some point.

 

[Levis]

Do you have a savegame prior to ariving in the port?

This should be it. Beta 3.4 of course. Just fast travel to spreightstown and dock there.

 

[Levis]

In that case look in the bug archive. I believe this bug was fixed before....

 

[Levis]

I can't check at least now. I only have the newest version installed here. 3.4 is so horribly outdate by now and I dont have the diskspace on my laptop to keep it there also....

 

[morgan terror]

I'm seeing a lot of them for different towns, but not for spreightstown, and they seem to have quite varied origins. I don't think this is something i can fix by digging through the archives. What i could try is seeing it it works at night, when there's fewer NPC's around, therefore more space at the walkpath locators.

CreateCharacter -> character Quest trader can invalide model(Man9) or animation(man)
Template <follow> -> path not found chr.id = Quest trader
Quest name generate_convoy_quest_completed FOUND in CommonQuestComplete

This sounds like a thing we fixed before....
Right @Pieter Boelen
