» Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:03 pm EDIT: Sorry the cell name is "Tel Mora, Berwen: Trader" and the trader name is Berwen instead of Branwen. Sorry for the confusing thread title.
Problem description:
I got to Tel Mora, after walking there from Sadrith Mora, with the objective to do the FG quest win which you have to kill the Corprus Stalker in Berwen's Shop.
When I entered the cell, immediately, a message box popups asking me what I wanted to cook. Choosing "-Nothing-" would make the message pop up again, repeatedly, without end. And choosing the only other option available: "Fuit salad", I think, would simply tell I don't have the ingredients and repeat the message again.
Here's the relevant code snippet (for the message box):
elseif ( NOM_cook_base == 1 ) messagebox "What kind of food do you want to cook?" "Fruit Salad" "-Nothing-" set button_max to 1 set state to 18Ok, until now is just the description of the behaviour I saw. From now on, is just a step by step of what I did to research the problem, in order to help you guys check it on your own...
* First I reverted to an earlier game, and went again to Tel Mora, Berwen cell => The same happened.
* Then, I opened NoM30.esp in the Construction Set and looked for the message string in the scripts.
* Found it in the script NOM_mix (cutting board script).
* Looked for references to that script (using the Enchanted Editor, IDK how to search using the CS) and found that it's called from two other scripts and only those (withing that esp, at least) -> NOM_mix01LS and NOM_mix02LS.
* Found that those are the scripts used by the Cutting Board activators.
* Then searched the Brawnen cell to look for placed activators (I remembered that in OB, sometimes AI made NPCs activate objects that were intended to be used by the PC only... don't know if that's the case in MW, though) but found none... NOM just places a merchant container there (NOM_merchant_fp, which curiously is used just in that cell)
* Then, looked in my save game with EE, searching for a stale NOM_mix script data... but it was none up until that time.
* Looked for info on that cell in my SG, again it wasn't any data yet -> I never visited that cell before.
* At this point, I tried to use the console to stop the script -> didn't make any difference, the problem continued, which to me implied that the script is constantly started back again.
* Tried to use the console to disable NPCs (there was some "Commoner" standing there, from MCA I guess), but that didn't change anything.
* I tried using the cutting board just before entering the cell (with the thought that maybe some state was left from a previous use...), it behave normally, didn't have any effect on the problem.
* I also checked seemingly dependent mods like the Nom3fix.esp, or the compatibility patches... they doesn't seem to have anything related to that script in them.
* I tested disabling the patches, the merged objects and the NOMfix esp -> Didn't change anything.
* Finally, just for testing, disabled NOM3.esp and the problem stopped happening (of course... but... one never knows!
)At this point I didn't have any other ideas to look for... so, I tried to find a workaround that let me continue playing... so I did this:
* Entered Berwen cell
* When the message box popped up, opened console and entered "enabledplayercontrols"
* With that I was able to move around and interact with the environment while the script was busy processing (by selecting the "Cook Fruit salad" option): It gave me just about two seconds for moving around and doing stuff before the message box popped up again.
* I was able to interact with Berwen and advance the quest, then go up the stairs and kill the stalker and get back again, talk with Berwen again and then exit the cell.
* As soon as I exited the cell the popup never happened again, which tells me that something inside that cell is messing around with the script :S
So luckily I was able to continue playing the game after that, but if I enter the cell again, the popup re-appears.
After that, saved and went to the EE to check what was left behind in the cell. My save game now has the script "NOM_mix" attached, and the cell doesn't have anything suspicious that I'm able to detect.
So, at this point I decided to post this info here, since I'm not fond of continue playing from this point forward with fear that some other kind of SG corruption can creep up in the future. I already had to discard my previous playthrough because of mod caused corruption... so, I don't look forward to starting again so soon

So, any of this ring any bell to any of you? Also, any other things I could do to debug this? I would want to find the cause of this problem
Best regards to all,

PS: Sorry for the long post
EDIT:
* Confused about the trader's name, is Berwen and not Branwen... should've checked before posing
* Added the code snipped for the actual messagebox.
