Fixed Levelling: Bucho refuses to talk in Geffrey Bampfyide's house

Ok, again: not sure if this is a bug or a conflict, but it makes me unable to complete the quest. I play Jack Sparrow storyline. I have started the assassin side quests. I came to this one and I'm unable to kill Bucho and Geffrey the banker because I cannot draw my sword in his house. The door is locked and I cannot go out. Any fix for this please?

Looks like Bucho is meant to talk to you. But he doesn't. Not sure yet why.

Also @Levis:
Code: 
id = Bucho
model = man4
  entity = NPCharacter
  animation = man
  height = 1.8500000
sex = man
sound_type = Thug
items =
  blade4 = 1
equip =
  blade = blade4
location = Hit_house1
  group = goto
  locator = goto1
  stime = 0.0000000
  etime = 24.0000000
  from_sea =
dialog =
  filename = Bucho_dialog.c
  debug = Debug.c
  currentnode = First time
  tempnode = First time
greeting = Gr_Thug
rank = -3
WHAT??? Rank negative 3!?!
 
Aaaaand this problem is beginning to look annoyingly familiar again.
As far as the game is concerned, Bucho is already dead. Which makes no sense, but that's what it thinks anyway.
That means that this one is actually up @Levis' alley, since it is Levelling-related.

This is Bucho BEFORE you enter the location:
Code: 
old =
  name = Bucho
  lastname =
  chr_ai =
name = Bucho
lastname = 
id = Bucho
model = man4
  entity = NPCharacter
  animation = man
  height = 1.8500000
sex = man
sound_type = Thug
items =
  blade4 = 1
equip =
  blade = blade4
location = Hit_house1
  group = goto
  locator = goto1
  stime = 0.0000000
  etime = 24.0000000
  from_sea =
dialog =
  filename = Bucho_dialog.c
  currentnode = First time
  tempnode = First time

  sneak = 0
  freeskill = 0
money = 300
quest =

  officerprice = 0
chr_ai =
  type = stay
  tmpl = stay
  group =
  hp = 50.0000000
  hp_max = 50.0000000
  immortal = 1
questchar = 1
index = 93
ship =
  type = Not Used
  idx = 1000
nation = 0
headmodel = h_man4

Note how he DID have HP before, but not after. Must be due to last week's changes.
LOTS of skills set to 0. And that probably results in a level of -3, giving 0 HP in the end.
 
@Mirsaneli: If you execute this through console BEFORE going into the house, the scene works as it is meant to:
Code: 
   ch = CharacterFromID("Bucho");
   ch.skill.Leadership = "1";
   ch.skill.Fencing = "3";
   ch.skill.Sailing = "1";
   ch.skill.Accuracy = "1";
   ch.skill.Cannons = "1";
   ch.skill.Grappling = "1";
   ch.skill.Repair = "1";
   ch.skill.Defence = "1";
   ch.skill.Commerce = "1";
   ch.skill.Sneak = "1";
That doesn't fix the root cause, of course. But at least gets you through.
 
Incidentally, this file extracted to your PROGRAM folder actually SHOULD be a proper fix for the root issue, I think.
There was a mistake in the Levelling code which had some.... unexpected results.
Good thing you found out!

Tnx for the fix. It worked. However, after I went back to Bridgetown street, I went to save the game, but got CDT. Now the savegame is recognized as bad save. I will have to start from my last point when I got the quest and will report back if it worked.

Try loading the last good save you have - then pressing F6 ( to load a quick save ) - the game does a quick save at the same time as a manual save is done and the quick save is usually OK. even when the manual save is corrupted.

So you could still have a good save at the point of the corrupted save.


Warning - quick saves are always overwritten each time - so there is always only one of them in the save folder.


:doff

What was the problem?

Definition of a variable was in the wrong spot.
'int something = 0' was inside an if-statement, but it was possible to get to a spot where that variable was used, but not defined. That resulted in the character level of -3.
You'll see it soon enough when you do a WinMerge on the file. I just hope there aren't more such instances.... :confused:
 
I know that we fixed this, but Bucho isn't talking again...

You have GOT to be bloody kidding me. How many times are we going to have to fix the same problem?!?
I will check it tomorrow.
