Removing White Glove apparel causes Caesar's Legion to hate

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:56 am

This is a weird one.
A while ago I put on some White Glove clothing to disguise myself - a suit and mask.
When I take each item off, my rating with Caesar's Legion goes from Neutral to Hated to Vilified!
There must be some crazy script error somewhere, because this makes no sense!
Anyone else seen this?

Can I bypass it with a console command?

Thanks,
Dan

Fortunately it just so happens that I'm intimately familiar with TES Script (from my http://freespace.virgin.net/dan.taylor1000/ days), so I was able to fix this by poking around in the new GECK.

The White Glove attire will modify your faction standing TWICE if you wear both the suit and the mask and then remove them.
So if somebody didn't like you BEFORE you put the items on, when you take them off they'll hate you twice as much.

There are two ways to avoid this...
1) Only ever put on one piece of White Glove attire
2) Install and activate this http://www.mediafire.com/?irafbt3cm404d5e

Option 2 will fix things for you if you are already wearing two items of White Glove apparel.

And now for the sweet pizza of victory.

It is a very good observation! You provided an explanation for a group of seemingly mysterious bugs :). Thank you!
Also thank you for the fix.

If you wouldn't mind I'll suggest little tweaks for this fix:
1) Adding VMS18WhiteGloveSocietyFactionOutfitWarningScript to OutfitFormalWear
If you put on a Formal wear first, then a Mask - the game counts you wearing WGS faction armor, but if you put on a Mask first, then a Formal wear - it thinks that you are not wearing WGS
faction armor. Adding a script to Formal wear fixes this issue.
2) I slightly changed if-conditions in the block 'On Unequip'. Now it in fact works only when you unequip the first item of a pair and skips everything when you unequip the second item.
You'll find the tweaked esp here: http://tes.ag.ru/inwork/WGS-fix.esp
I tested it myself, seems that everything OK now but I'll be grateful if somebody could verify it.

Sorry for my English :)
