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

[morgan terror]

Perhaps i'm using the wrong search terms. Curiously, the problem seems to have occurred all the way back in 2009 as well.

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

I think that is the "too many characters in location" problem. Speightstown has a lot of BuildingSet structures, so that isn't actually all that surprising.

And yes, that has already been fixed in the Beta 4 base.
What I did was to add a "vcskip" attribute to the destination so there won't be random characters to mess up the quest character's appearance.

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

Try executing this through console prior to going ashore in the destination port:

Locations[FindLocation(pchar.quest.generate_convoy_quest_completed.win_condition.l1.location)].vcskip = true;

Then assuming that is DOES complete properly then, execute this AFTER the quest has completed:

       ref port = &Locations[FindLocation(pchar.location)];
       DeleteAttribute(port,"vcskip");                 // PB: Reset this to normal

This is effectively manually executing the fix that is already in Beta 4.

Actually, this may be simpler:

PChar.vcskip = true;

Then upon completion:

DeleteAttribute(PChar,"vcskip"); // PB: Reset this to normal

Best solution: Don't stick too much longer to Beta 3.4 . The amount of things that have changed since then is HUGE!!!

Thank you very much! I'm also nearing the end of my current main quest, so i might not have to for much longer. With a bit of luck i'll be able to synchronise it with the final release of beta 4.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Well, the PRE-final release of Beta 4, I hope. As in: a version that is quite playable, but not yet the public release.
Because we need to have it thoroughly tested first.

Well, your fix works. I suppose that counts as a confirmation that the bugfix works too?

Yes, it does. So it is as I expected: Already fixed a few months ago.
