for some reason the staking in vampire realism is not working. when i knock a vampire down i switch to the steel-tiped stake stab till they get back up. Is there a way to fix this? maybe counsel commands? i thought maybe it reinstalling would work but i reinstalled and that didn't help.

i have hit some roadblocks.

First:
i believe i found the correct script (called stake_script*). however there is no GetSoundPlaying segment in the script. do i have the right one?

Second:
Assuming stake_script* is the correct script, i figured i would delete it. However, the CS won't let me save the changes i have made! When i try to save this warning pops-up: "unable to complete operation due to failure removing previous file. Temp file remains." WTH does the that mean?

Nope. see my previous post. You need to find all the scripts attached to vampire NPCs that do this:

If ( Player->GetSoundPlaying, "Weapon Swish" )

and remove that. I think.


Sound like permissions problems due to Vista/Win7. I don't use Windows, but maybe running as admin, or turning off UAC or running in compatability mode or something like that might work.
It might be best just to reinstall outside of "Program Files" to avoid any permissions problems.
That is, if that's what it's all about. Thank bog I'm on Linux.

ok just noticed ur post before mine and i have yet another question.

so like i said, im a total noob at coding....

if ( fallen == 2 )
if ( timer <= 5 )
If ( GetArmorType, 1 < 1 )
If ( Player->HasItemEquipped "TAU_Stake1" )
If ( HitOnMe, "TAU_Stake1" == 1 )
If ( Player->GetSoundPlaying, "Weapon Swish" )
If ( Random100 < 88 )
sethealth 0
set fallen to 0
; Messagebox, "Die"
Elseif ( Random100 >= 89 )

Endif
Endif

set fallen to 0
Elseif ( Random100 >= 81 )

is that the section of code i need to delete from each script to remove the staking feature?

ty for handing my confused lil' hand =)

Great Gadfrey, no.

If you just want to turn off staking, open the console, type "startscript vr_menu" and use those config menus to turn off staking as explained in the docs.

If you want to fix staking you have to edit out just the lines that call the getsoundplaying function.

oh ok. ill just turn off staking and not try messing with it =) thanks for all the help! u rock!
