Redmond missing its governor and shipwright.

[L0M3N]

I have beaten Curse of the Black Pearl questline and ran away from the Dauntless in the Pearl at the end.
I did some random stuff, and later when I visited Redmond to try and talk to the governor and make Britain not hate me he was not there. Also the guy in the shipyard is not there either. I made sure it was daytime.
So two of the most important NPC's on Redmond are missing. I can't really be based out of Redmond without a governor for missions and a shipyard to repair me. So any help would be appreciated. I am running build 14 beta 1 patch 3.1.

I thought this had been fixed.

I know Capt. Maggee and I discussed this a lot to find where the bug was occuring -- but I can't find the thread that contains the posts.

Does anyone know at what point they disappear?

From what I can remember I think it was after you hire Mr Gibbs on Tortuga in the "Steal the interceptor" line of the story in CotBP.

If you did the help the Turks Pirates with Norrington option then everything was ok -- I think

Looking at the code, Jamaica shipwright Roger Murray is removed for the blacksmith (=shipyard) fight with Will Turner,
but restored as soon as you're thrown in prison. As such, he shouldn't ever be observed missing.

The governors are a different story, because they keep moving all over the place.
The story starts with Governor Brin, who then moves to several places for the story and might occasionally not be in his townhall.
Then Weatherby Swann takes over, who then also moves to several places for the story and is, I think, also not properly restored afterwards.
I think we'd need to go through all governor moving code and make sure that after the quest scenes,
they return back to their mansion WITH the regular dialog restored.

Just checked this in Beta 1 patch 3.1 - Did steal the interceptor option in CotBP - then hired Mr Gibbs on Tortuga & sailed back to Port Royale.

No Governor or shipyard owner.

The town was also virtually deserted ( only 1 or 2 people walking arround at mid-day )

I remember discussing this previously with Capt. Maggee - ( but as in previous post I can't find the thread it was in - it was sometime in Feburary 2010 - arround the same time as I originally reported missing shipyard owner & governor on the bug tracker).

I think the deserted town problem was something to do with vskip or vcskip or something like that
& I am sure Capt. Maggee did or was doing a fix for it.



EDIT:

Just had alook at quests_reaction.c & the code is there to put Weatherby Swann & Roger Murray back after J Sparrow put in prison. k

So why it is not working

What happens if you execute that code through the console? Does that restore them or still not?

And indeed a .vcskip attribute for the location would make it nearly deserted.
That attribute is supposed to be removed afterwards!

Can you post these ones on the Bug Tracker and I'll look into them later...
