Aztec Treasure Quest Problems

[Talisman]

I can not get the Aztec Treasure Quest to start :cry

I completed the other Quests in the following order:

Hunter ( did not Kill Elting ) - Silver Train - Aguadilla - Nightmare

Went and talked to Henry Morgan in Port Royale Town Hall after Silver Train - then after Aguadilla - then after Nightmare.

Each time dialog was "....."

I think this case in quests_reaction.c is not working properly

case "Elting_at_Douwesen":
GiveShip2Character(CharacterFromID("Elting"),"XebecAS","El Diablo",-1,SPAIN,true,true);		
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Elting"), "Douwesen_Tavern", "goto", "goto2");
LAi_SetCitizenType(characterFromID("Elting"));
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Elting")].dialog.filename = "Elting at Douwesen_dialog.c";

if (PChar.Quest.Train == "1") 
{			
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Henry Morgan")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_18";			
}			
break;

I have checked - Elting is in Kralendijk, tavern OK & will do missions with me - Roxanne & Roche Brasiliano are also where they should be and offer missions OK



In the end I forced the Aztec Treasure Quest to start by putting this line of code from the above case

Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Henry Morgan")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_18";

into the console and actioning it before I meet Henry Morgan.


so I think something must be wrong with :

if (PChar.Quest.Train == "1") 
{			
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Henry Morgan")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_18";			
}

but what it is I don't know - no entries were generated in the error logs



EDIT:

Also if I kill Elting in the Hunter Quest - when I go and talk to Morgan he does not offer to do missions with me - all I get is the "...." dialog.

Next Problem ( Might be because of the first problem )

When I land on Vera Cruz Emilio talks to me & I get an empty dialog box ( see image ) no dialog & I am not transported to Vera Cruz Port - I cannot get off the beach.

In the system log I get:-

DIALOG: Invalid text or links, emergency exit! (last link = )



NOTE: If I play the Aztec Quest using the jump start ( cheat ) at the beginning of the Bartolomeu story then everything works OK ( Morgan, Emilio ). :mm

 

[Talisman]

case "Elting_at_Douwesen":
GiveShip2Character(CharacterFromID("Elting"),"XebecAS","El Diablo",-1,SPAIN,true,true);		
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(CharacterFromID("Elting"), "Douwesen_Tavern", "goto", "goto2");
LAi_SetCitizenType(characterFromID("Elting"));
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Elting")].dialog.filename = "Elting at Douwesen_dialog.c";

if (PChar.Quest.Train == "1") 
{			
Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Henry Morgan")].dialog.currentnode = "begin_18";			
}			
break;

Just a thought - should there be an "else" statement in the above case :?

e.g if.......else.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I will check that.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I think the code is right. But maybe, I should include the Silver train quest into my main quest and not let it as a side-quest. Indeed, we must play this quest if we want to continue the main quest so it can't be considered like a side-quest :? . It would be included between the Hunter Quest and the Battle of Aguadilla quest.

I have installed the updates to the story files from this thread --->> http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php/topic/17727-bartolomeu-story-completed-some-small-bugs/page__view__findpost__p__398171

After I do the Battle of Aguadilla I can start the Aztec Treasure Quest ok --- Morgan talks to me in Port Royale & sends me to Vera Cruz.

On the beach at Vera Cruz when Emilio talks to me I still get the empty dialog box ( see post 2 above ) & the quest breaks - not transported to Vera Cruz port.

In the system log I get:-

DIALOG: Invalid text or links, emergency exit! (last link = )

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I think I know what's the problem. I will release an update this week.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Here's the fix. You don't need to start a new game to check this fix, Talisman. Just load one of your saves before being reloaded on the Vera Cruz beach.

 

[Talisman]

Worked

:2up

Thanks Bartolomeu

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Thank you for finding the bugs. Your work is very useful.

 

[BartRoberts]

Hey there! I have been following this project for quite a while and now I just couldn't hold back and registered . First of all I'd like to say I really appreciate your excellent work! Great storyline and atmosphere!

However, I have to report some bugs focusing around the Aztec Treasure:
- after applying the update from July 18 I had to replay the story from the indian statuette quest onwards in order to get Morgan talking. (that's probably not a bug, just wanted to say it)

- when I replayed the Aquadilla quest the Isla de Muerte didn't show up. I think that's because something has been changed in the locations_loader.c => the map is missing there as activator for the Isla to show up. (I temporarily replaced the file with the older one to continue playing)

- afterwards Morgan talked to me and I could start the quest. As talisman reported already, Emilio remained silent on the beach of Vera Cruz which has been fixed with your latest update.

- now, when Bartolomeu is sitting at the table in Vera Cruz tavern and Elting shows up there is the same problem as before with Emilio: Elting has an empty dialogue box and the story gets stuck. The jump start worked fine again.

Hope I could help!

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

First, thank you for the comments about my quests.

I'll check the quests to confirm I've got these bugs.

But, about the isla muerte bug, I checked if the fix works and I didn't have the problem you reported. In fact, I put in the questreactions.c the create() function so that the island appears.

 

[BartRoberts]

Maybe the Isla had shown up if I had replayed the story from the beginning, I didn't check this. I also don't know too much about scripting, I just compared the new locations_loader with the old one and happened to see that in the old one there is an entry for the compass (probably a relic of the Sparrow storyline) and the map, whereas in the new one only the compass appears. Didn't know there is an entry for that in the questreactions also.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Here's what I can say :

1) That's normal seeing now the Silver train quest featuring Henry Morgan is just after the indian idol quest.

2) I confirm I added a CreateIslaDeMuerte(); in the quests_reaction.c, so the island must appear. Maybe, Talisman could confirm that the island appears :?

3) Bug fixed about the empty dialogue box. (see zipped file)

If you find more bugs, tell me.

 

[BartRoberts]

The quest works fine now, thanks a lot for the quick fixing of it!

For the Isla de Muerte:
I've also played the Battle of Aquadilla via jump-start now and the Isla doesn't show up. Also the hunter quest won't close in the log but that may be due to the jump-start - in my main profile (no jump) the quest is closed, so probably nothing to worry about.

 

[Talisman]

Here's what I can say :

2) I confirm I added a CreateIslaDeMuerte(); in the quests_reaction.c, so the island must appear. Maybe, Talisman could confirm that the island appears :?

Bug confirmed - CreateIslaDeMuerte(); is in my quests_reaction.c - but does not work

I have tried starting the story from a save when O'geron sends you to look for Montbars. Sail to Cayman - find Montbars & map - Isla de Muerte does not appear on World map - story breaks.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I'll check that this week-end.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Isla de Muerte is REMOVED again on the next location reload because you don't have the required item.

 

[BartRoberts]

The map is in the inventory as it should, if it's that what you mean.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

So you DO still get the map? Then we should just restore the original file. With the new copy, only Jack's compass will work.
