Fixed Locator error at Hispaniola Temple

[Hylie Pistof]

I am circumnavigating Hispaniola to find all the landing sites. At Cape Francos there is some interesting things, but when it came to leaving I found we were stuck. I had to fast travel to the ships deck in order to get out and leave. Where I got stuck is the location in the 2nd screenie.

is this a locator problem or a walkpatch problem?

The same location model is used elsewhere without problem, isn't it?
Wouldn't be the first time we catch some errors in the location init files.

@Hylie Pistof : Do you happen to have a save where you're stuck or at least in that general area?
That might speed up the fixing.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

No that location is unique as it is the temple and on Cozumel you never turn back.

I just went back to confirm the save and tried it again, and I was able to return ok. That map change worked, but I did not go all the way into the temple again. Perhaps going all the way into the temple blocks any return.

EDIT: I just played that part again and if you go all the way into the temple the return is blocked.

Hehe. If you want a real challenge, there is a treasure quest on the next beach at Boca Hubon that I found to be impossible at my current skill level. I had to give up and will come back when we are all a lot tougher.

where did you get does pistols

 

[Hylie Pistof]

On Nevis. There is a house in the jungle there..........................

Oh, are those the realistic Shotgun replacement then?

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Yes. I normally don't equip them as they are overpowered, but tried them for that treasure quest. Nothing worked there.

I think I found the problem in PROGRAM\Locations\init\Hispaniola.c:

   Locations[n].reload.l2.name = "reload2";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.go = "Hispaniola_Labirint_1";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.emerge = "reload27";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.autoreload = "1";

That "Hispaniola_Labirint_1" location doesn't exist. The game tries to reload you there anyway and fails:

Reload: Process started for locator_name = reload2 and lockedReloadLocator =
Can't reload...
Location not found: id = Hispaniola_Labirint_1
Done loading

That then breaks the reloads in the location you're still in.

Seems to be a simple fix: Remove that section of code:

/*
   Locations[n].reload.l2.name = "reload2";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.go = "Hispaniola_Labirint_1";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.emerge = "reload27";
   Locations[n].reload.l2.autoreload = "1";
*/

That requires a new game, but executing this through console works too:

   ref lcn = &Locations[FindLocation("Hispaniola_Temple")];
   DeleteAttribute(lcn, "reload.l2");
