Need Help Nigel Blythe quest

[TommyM]

I followed your wiki page about Nigel Blythe quest.

I hired Nigel at the very start of the storyline, now after I completed the main quest to recapture the colony it says go to Jamaica to continue Nigel's quest, but nothing happense.

Is spleightown(oxbay) captured in your game? If so the quest wont run it seems. Also nigel has to be one of your passenger which goes to you on shore.

Nigel Blythe quest used to be rather buggy.

Do you have any error logs from where the quest fails? ( error - system - compile - in your main game folder )

Can you post them as attachments here.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Logs are always helpful. Also a savegame from just prior to the point where it should be doing something, but doesn't.

 

[TommyM]

I get no error logs at all. Nothing happens.

Do you want me to upload my savegame so you can check it out?

 

[Levis]

Go ahead. Don't know if I have time, but someone might have

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Do post the compile.log and system.log as well. Especially for quest problems, they're very relevant too.

 

[TommyM]

There, I uploaded the following things:

compile.log
system.log
and the save file

Thank you so much for helping out

Invalid model: resource\models\ships\NL_Amsterdam\NL_Amsterdam.gm

Well, THAT's not normal. Shouldn't be related, though.

Not sure when I'll be able to check this issue properly though. I can see no quest cases related to Nigel in that compile.log at all.

 

[TommyM]

Hmm so what can be done?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

According to the code, "Nigel_Adventure" should start when you get into Jamaica port.
But indeed not while Speightstown is capture. Not even sure why that requirement is IN there.
Apparently it used to be Speightstown where the quest started, but not anymore.

 

[TommyM]

Do you think I should have hire Nigel only after I recapture the city Speightstown?

 

[Levis]

No, you just need to recapture it first, then everything will go fine.

Or past this file into:
\PROGRAM\Storyline\standard\quests

 

[Pieter Boelen]

No, you just need to recapture it first, then everything will go fine.

I don't think manual recapture will do. You probably have to play the storyline until it is returned to England.

Anyway, I think your code suggestion should work fine. I don't like the sidequest being dependent on the main storyline anyway; that doesn't help free play at all.

yeah with recapture I ment in the storyline. And also I dont like it to be dependable. It used to because it took place in oxbay and it probally could conflict with other things. but that shouldn't be the case anymore now. If it is I would like to hear.

 

[TommyM]

Iv extracted the file to the folder, presses f11 (or f12, can't remember) and still nothing happens. Looks like the quest is bugged.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I made a note for the Nigel Blythe sidequest to be looked at some time.

 

[vince villodres]

Would want to know if this has been fixed on Jan 28, 2015 update. Same issue prevail when I played using Jan 19, 2015 update.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

What exactly doesn't happen? And do you have a Savegame from shortly before that point?

Quest hint (Walkthrough):
Sail to Port Royale, Jamaica – talk to self on jetty – Quest Book update. (this has to be after Speightstown has been recaptured by English in the Main Story line )
QB Log:

Does it have something to do with the last comment "but should make sure to incresase his defensive abilities and fighting skill". Nigel B has less than 5 points on each ability.
