Workaround for STORE/TRADE Missions Bugs

Ok, if you encounter the Bug where you can't no longer Take Trade missions from stores there is a Workaround.

Here are the Details as outlayed by Thanos.

******************

Concerning the STORE/TRADE thing, here's a workaround. Find the name of the trader that you need to deliver stuff to, from the Quest Log. Now look in ProgramDialogs for a file with that name
(for example, for the trader in Falaise de Fleur, it's 'arnaud matton_dialog.c')

Now look for this line:

Code: 
if (CheckQuestAttribute("iTradeNation", npchar.nation) &&  GetSquadronGoods(pchar, iQuestTradeGoods) >= iQuantityShipGoods)

and replace the ">=" with "<="

Also, look for the line:

Code: 
RemoveCharacterGoods(pchar, makeint(pchar.quest.iTradeGoods), makeint(pchar.quest.iQuantityGoods));

and comment it out (ie Put "//" without the quotes in front of it).

This should do the trick. The next time you talk to the shopkeeper, you'll have a dialog option for 'delivering the goods'. I have tried this (had the same quest bug) and it works; I was able to get a new quest immediately after.

When you're done, you can change the file back to the original

One more thing: for some reason, the game sets the expiration date for these quests to a very high value (definately NOT a month, more like 2 years). I was able to check thish from the savegame. You can make the quest expire by `hex-editing` the savegame BUT, when I did this, I was unable to get any more quests of that type.

The Bug has been posted on the Bug List anyways for an Eventual Patch from Bethesda.
 
Erh... nice ? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
So has this been fixed in build 11?

I ask because I restarted, yet again, due to having nowhere legit to sell my cargo, and I can't think of any incident that made my rep' so bad enroute.

If it hasn't been fixed, are there any plans to fix it?
 
That bug has annoyed me for quite some time, seems to me it mostly happens transporting goods to concecaio, but a BIG thanks for giving me a sollution to the problem <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
The only problem with this workaround is that the game now looks for less or equal of the items you are delivering, so you cant normally deliver things like cannonballs etc.
 
Hi there


I've only had the game a few days and i updated it with the latest build version on this site..However i'm suffering with the problems discribed here. I got a job to deliver goods from Remond to Conceicao for around 6500 gold and i've sailed all the way to my destination and i don't have the option to deliver.

What do i do?

At Conceicao you went to the store?

If so, you:
1. don't say you want to buy or sell goods,
2. don't say you want to get stuff for yourself,

3. You do say you have some business to discuss!

Then you get the dialog to complete the delivery.

Does that not happen in your game?
 
I'm afraid it doesn't..in the beginning when i first landed on the island i went to the store keeper and i selected..that option but my character then says something like..he's changed his mind or something along those lines..

are you in the ship the goods are loaded into ?

Are all the goods in THAT ship and not spread around the whole squad...if you even have a squad..

Did you get in a battle and have some cargo destroyed so you no longer have the full load ?
 
Well i'm still a beginner with level 3 melee lol So i've not got a fleet or anything. At the moment i'm sailing the sea's with just the one vessel and fighting for king and country..

Is there anyway of completing the task or removing it?

All of my belongings are aboard my ship as far as i know..I'm also 85% certain that i didn't fight anything on my way from oxbay to Redmond for the first time..
