strange things are going on in the archipelago quest

i was doing the 'strange things are going on in the archipelago' quest and after i guide a ship to isla Muelle i talked to padre domingues. after i left the church 3 red dressed munks came to me... i thing one of them wanted to talk to me but than the game says i cant talk to dead bodys. than i cant leave isla Muelle and i cant enter a house or my ship. is this normal?? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
No, that is not normal. Shouldn't them red robes attack you? It's been a long time since I played. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
no, they walk to me and than in the upper left of the screem appears: 'To speak with dead bodies of enemies? Your name is Hamlet. Maybe?'
they are alive but the game thinks they are dead or something.. if i kill them i still cant leave that part of isla Muelle..
 
I did a fix for this but all my stuff is gone from the FTP. It had something to do with the game reusing the same 3 monks and not resetting them after the first time you kill them. The second time you encounter them they have no swords and they still have a flag which says they're a corpse, so our can't talk to corpses picks up on it and displays the message when they try to engage the dialog.
 
makes sense. they work properly the next time you meet them. what if you'd change the names of the second group? i have no idea to what, but it might work by some strange chance. maybe to mr. eery, mr. sinister and mr. sneaky. or waht if you'd change them to the names in the lockpick discription? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
so if i dont kill them the first time i see them and give them the lettre, the second time they are not dead.
do you meet them a third time?
 
Hmm. That's a bug that should be posted on the bug tracker then. Can somebody please do that?

If so, the names in the lockpick item description might be somewhat familiar. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
ohhh. no, i didn't. the quest worked fine as always last time i played it. i've only once or twice had that problem. if i have it, i just kill them anyway. works fine.
 
You can also check the Prisoner of Azkaban film. You will find those names there. It's just a little joke of mine, but I don't want to give it away. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
eh.. now i didnt kill them the first time and they talk to me the second time. but than it like the speaking guy is a surrendered captain, i can only kill him so i did. but than i had the same problem: i cant leave!
 
okay now i let myself die. i can continue the quest now and leave isla muelle, there are still some problems. fast travel is broken and you must talk to a munkguy in prison but he is also dead....
 
Does anyone know if this is still an issue in the more recent Alpha versions (eg Alpha 6 and up)?
 
i can't tell. for as far as i know, i've rarely had problems with it. i don't know what might have made ther difference. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> i played that quest and the main quest at the same time, although not doing do is supposed to fix all bugs with it.

if i kill them i cant leave....
 
shame that i don't remember how i got around the problem. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> i only know i did somehow.
 
Hi all and greetings from bavaria. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I have the same problem as landrot, the 3 red-robed monks approach me and I get the hamlet dialog, cant leave the town either. Funny thing is, the one who´s supposed to talk to me follows me all around the town <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Is there a save game compatible fix for that or do I have to reload a save before I kill them on the first encounter?
Would hate to do that, though, got a nice pirate-designed ship of the line after that. And she´s a real beauty, too <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Playing Build 14 alpha 6 ( without the pb_modifications).

Bava




P.S. Sorry for the necro and thanks for this awesome mod!
