Help with cargo delivery quest during Night Craft quest

[Densefire]

Hi, I was doing the Night Craft quest where you need to investigate what Jean Maginot did with the sandle and at the same time I had 1057 cwt of Leather to deliver to him via cargo delivery quest. After completing the Night Craft business with Jean he seems to have completely forgotten I also have cargo to deliver to him.

Included are two screens shots, one showing I have the required cargo and another showing the missing dialogue to complete the delivery.

Any idea on how to move forward? Can I force completion of the quest via console?

Thanks!

Can you upload a savegame? You'll need to compress it with something like 7-Zip before you can upload it here. There is supposed to be code for receiving cargo in the special dialog file which Jean Maginot uses during the quest but it's presumably not working, so I'll need to correct it. Then I'll want to test it using your save.

Sure

Put these versions of "France Trader_dialog.c" and "France Trader_dialog.h" into "PROGRAM\DIALOGS" and "PROGRAM\DIALOGS\ENGLISH" respectively.


The "Night Craft" quest came from a Russian mod which was based on the stock game, not on our Build Mod. So "France Trader_dialog.c" did have code for cargo quests but it was the version from the stock game, which didn't work properly and was overhauled in the Build Mod. This version copies the code from "Jean Maginot_dialog.c", which is his normal dialog file when you're not doing the "Night Craft" quest and which has the current version of delivery quest code. The new version also allows you to talk about the quest even if you don't have the full amount of cargo; you'll say that you have cargo to deliver, he'll tell you what he's expecting, then you say that some of it has gone missing and you'll replace it.

With these new files in place, load up that savegame, then talk to Jean Maginot, and you should be able to deliver the leather. Then load the savegame again, sell some of the leather to him, then see what happens when you talk about the delivery. You can then buy back the leather and try again.

And then try asking Jean Maginot for a delivery job. Because the dialog file is now using modern code, it should set up the quest so that another trader will accept it.

Yes It worked!

Then load the savegame again, sell some of the leather to him, then see what happens when you talk about the delivery.

This works as well. He sees I'm missing some leather and I tell him ill be back with more.

You can then buy back the leather and try again.

Yes I was able to buy leather back and complete the delivery

And then try asking Jean Maginot for a delivery job. Because the dialog file is now using modern code, it should set up the quest so that another trader will accept it.

I am able to receive another delivery quest, thanks you rock!

And thank you for reporting it. This was something which needed to be fixed and like many such, the first step is for someone to report a problem.
