Solved Several Questions

[Phi230]

Hey I'm running through an Iron Man game right now and have a few quality of life questions.

1. How do I execute console commands to remove quests from the quest book? I've hit the "wall" in the Apothecary quest and I don't want it as an activated quest anymore. Doesn't need to be deleted, just deactivated. Also for the "collector" quest.

2. Is there any way to activate all perks in an iron man game? If not, I think I found a balance issue. The perk "musket volley" requires "long range boarding" and "long range boarding" is not available in iron man. So I would like to activate all perks as a measure to make sure I am not locked out of this one.

1. Have a look here:

2. If you temporarily switch to Arcade, does that do the trick?
Sounds like a proper logic fix is required though.
Either that prerequisite perk should be available or the requirement should be changed in perks_init.c

DeleteQuestHeader("smuggle_collector");
DeleteQuestHeader("plants");

maybe also
DeleteQuestHeader("indian_treasure");
DeleteQuestHeader("smuggle_ThomasOReily");
and more

removes the subjects completely in the questbook.

I've hit the "wall" in the Apothecary quest

I want to know what/where/when you got stuck as I'm trying to fix things there.

So if I switch to Arcade and add perks they are active when I switch back to Iron Man?

1. How do I actually type in the console? When I press F12 it just says "executed console"

2. Well I followed the guide up till the point where you go to Hotel Cartagena and back to Brightstown. I have not yet gone back to the Apothecary about it, because if I do and I get the subsequent quest to deliver Opium I cannot sail my ship, the loading screen when going out to sea fades to black.

Hopefully. But no guarantees.
A better fix is probably required by editing that PROGRAM\INTERFACE\Perks\perks_init.c file.

Thanks, I have not yet got so far.

Either you make a new case in console.c After the last break; ( from nr 10) :

case 11:
Type in what you want to happen here.

break;

Also change the switch(0) early in the file to switch(11)

----------------------------------------------------------

Or keep switch(0) and type in above the switch
