Fixed Standard Storyline: Stuck While Playing as Danielle

[Ventus]

Hi, I play the 14 Beta 4 Build (Saturday 2 April 2016)
In the main quest, when Daniella knock out Nathaniel and there is a momentanous change of character and you're supposed to play as her, she's just stucked, nothing happens...

 

[ANSEL]

@Ventus . You have a lot of unfinished quest, it could give you problems.
Yes! I was transformed to Daniella too. Dont have so many sidequest open.

 

[Ventus]

Ok then, i'll finish them!

edit: after the comments of Grey Rogers I've read the tricks and tried the F12, it worked just fine. So again, sorry! this is'nt really a bug.

Apparently it IS a bug. Rheims is SO dead that he doesn't show up in the house and therefore you can't talk to him.

So two questions: How did he die and how to get him back to normal?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Just for laughs, I still like this comment of mine in the code!

bool LAi_Character_CanDialog(aref chr, aref by)
{
   if(locCameraCurMode == LOCCAMERA_FREE) return false;                   // PB: Don't bother me when I'm flying

 

[Ventus]

I've reloaded the save just after Danielle joined Nathaniel, I waited a little, go on the ship deck, see the governor. Then continue with Rheims, now everything's going as intended...but I don't understand why, and what changed. Maybe that's just a one quest difference in the questbook, as suggested ANSEL.

@Ventus: Somehow Rheims died before Danielle was supposed to kill him. No clue how that happened.

In PROGRAM\Storyline\standard\quests\quests_reaction.c I added this to prevent this same issue from bothering anyone in the future:

    case "danielle_with_rheims_runaway_complete":
       ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(characterFromID("Danielle"), "Rheims_house_inside", "item", "item1");
       LAi_NoRebirthDisable(characterFromID("Raoul Rheims")); // PB: Just in case he somehow died
       ChangeCharacterAddress(characterFromID("Raoul Rheims"), "Rheims_house_inside", "goto1");
       ChangeCharacterAddress(characterFromID("Vincent Bethune"), "Rheims_house_inside", "goto2");
     break;

Since that quest case already executed in your savegame, you can do the following:
1. Add the following line to console.c:

LAi_NoRebirthDisable(characterFromID("Raoul Rheims"));

See here point #4 for how: Tutorial - Modding Tips & Tricks | PiratesAhoy!
2. Load your savegame
3. Press F12
4. Continue play and it should work this time

 

[Ventus]

Yep, it worked just fine.

Fix for this now included in here: Mod Release - Build 14 Beta 4.1 WIP | PiratesAhoy!

This does NOT work on @Ventus' savegame from above.
Use the trick from post #7 to continue on that save.

Guys, somehow the storyline got broken. When you located Reims at Bonaire, you have to follow into his house in the jungle. After a short dialog with Danielle she knocks you out and then she should be talking with Reims before he dies. The problem is: Reims isnt there. So Danielle cant talk to anyone, and the Story gets stuck here. Even with console you can't go back to your own character.

Unfortunately I havnt made it that far, I cannot confirm, but I'll see if I cant get to that point on the 28th july version.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

@Pillat: You're still on Beta 4.0, right?

I distinctly remember somebody else had that problem too. Thread should still be around somewhere.
There was a console command that could help and I fixed it in the 28 July version.

If I recall, the problem is that the guy somehow got killed earlier during the game.

 

[KillPhil]

Ah... yes, that could be, Rheims took a hit at the Outskirts from those raiders..

So, can you just give me the console command? If I download 4.1 I have to start a new game

 

[Pieter Boelen]

So, can you just give me the console command?

See post #7 above.

Ah I see. Thanks
