Fixed Standard Storyline: Danielle Missing at San Juan Tavern

[Pieter Boelen]

I merged two threads that seemed to be about the same Beta 3.5 WIP issue, which confirms that there IS indeed a problem.
Thanks to @ANSEL, we also have more of a clue now where to look.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Somehow @ANSEL's savegame has LAi_group_IsActivePlayerAlarm() on AT SEA, which prevents me from accessing some menus in 3D sailing mode.
Have you got any idea how that might have happened?

Suggestion to prevent such weirdness in PROGRAM\Loc_ai\LAi_groups.c:

//If the alarm is active for the player
bool LAi_group_IsActivePlayerAlarm()
{
   if (bSeaActive) return false; // PB: This should NEVER be on at sea!
   return LAi_grp_alarmactive;
}

 

[Pieter Boelen]

And it is as I feared; your former officers have been erased.

Not a clue! I have been playing with the console, giving me self a couple of blades and some guns, I wont to try them out,
but that will be harmless I think?

Should be, yes.

 

[ANSEL]

Is this the place to set the code: //Utilities

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Yes. Will be in my next update to prevent any such future weirdness.
Also, this was NOT related to the actual issue at hand; I'm still looking into that.
And because your officers were permanently erased, they aren't coming back.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Actually, executing this code through console MIGHT at least allow you to continue play:

Pchar.Temp.Officer.idx1 = GetCharacterIndex("Blaze_Crewmember_01");
Pchar.Temp.Officer.idx2 = GetCharacterIndex("Blaze_Crewmember_02");
Pchar.Temp.Officer.idx3 = GetCharacterIndex("Blaze_Crewmember_03");

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It wasn't as bad as I thought! I managed to save your officers, @ANSEL!

Extract attached file to your PROGRAM folder to get the fixed code.
Then execute this through console upon loading the savegame you posted:

  ch = CharacterFromID("Enc_Officer_6");
   ch.StoredFellow = true; // PB: Flag to prevent erasing this character
   ch = CharacterFromID("Enc_Officer_8");
   ch.StoredFellow = true; // PB: Flag to prevent erasing this character

Now continue playing and it should be all good again.

ERROR - Quest name to_muelle_complete NOT found in ANY function

Confirmed as well. It got called by this code, but I checked all the way back to the stock game and that code was just never there:

    case "resque_danielle_18":
       dialog.text = DLG_TEXT[128] + GetMyName(Pchar) + DLG_TEXT[129];
       link.l1 = DLG_TEXT[130];
       link.l1.go = "officer_exit";
       pchar.quest.main_line = "to_secret_redmond_shore";
     /*   pchar.quest.to_muelle.win_condition.l1 = "location";
       pchar.quest.to_muelle.win_condition.l1.location = "Muelle_town_01";
       pchar.quest.to_muelle.win_condition = "to_muelle_complete";*/
       AddQuestRecord("search_danielle", 23);
       CloseQuestHeader("search_danielle");
       SetQuestHeader("revenge_for_silehard");
       AddQuestRecord("revenge_for_silehard", 1);
     break;

As you can see, I have outcommented here as it serves no purpose other than to cause an error message.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Also major thanks to @ANSEL and also @Johivas for finding and reporting this issue.
It has the potential of being quite a nasty one that could possibly also have affected game versions before the Beta 3.5 WIP, though much less likely.
As I have applied a pretty generic fix, any stored officers should never be erased or overwritten again.

 

[ANSEL]

Great! Now I am back at sea again. and

A more proper fix is included in here (new game required!): http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-3-5-internal-wip-for-testing.24817/
However, @ANSEL doesn't need it because he managed to get past the offending point now.
