Thanks. OK, better get to work then.

@ Ervvyn: Sorry, that I was not precise enough. It has all happend as you have described above. I have talked to the Innkeeper before I got upstairs, but I have not talked again with her before I left the Inn. Opening the door to the city a window poped up with a message like 'You don't dare to talk to ... again, because...'. Not exactly so, of course, it is just as I have remembered it.

Meanwhile I have found out, what my problem was. The scroll in the basemant has a red hand symbol, so I only read it, but didn't take it, because I don't want to steal something. But to get the quest running you need to take the scroll! With the stolen scroll in my hand the quest window popped up with new instructions, so I am on my way now again.

You have seen that scroll before, and reading it does not bump this quest. I think the problem was that you were either too quick or not close enough to the table. It can take the quest script 5 seconds at maximum to realize you were near that table, and then initiate the next stage. Whatever it was, it can be tweaked easily in the script. :thumbsup:

Bump. :hehe:
Has anyone played this to its bitter end already?
Has anyone found problems, bugs, mistakes, or story or chronology anomalies?
I seem to have corrupted my earlier savegames and had to start a new character in a new updated install ... now I'm a little level 2 khajit trying to survive the harsh world of FCOM, so I'm not yet ready to play this mod.

Currently all the mod's texts are being debugged/edited so that the next version will feature real old-fashioned non-distracting correct English, and several custom textures (icon, stepstones etc.) are being (re)designed. Thanks to Qbit and Bleral who volunteered to do this. :twirl:

After resolving my problem that is described above I headed my way and did the first Guard quest which worked flawlessly for me. I was told that the guards will come back to me if needed and when I'll be in the city, so I'm eagerly waiting for the next quest popping in (I guess it takes a week or so?). Anyway, I am still on my way playing through all the quests up to the end before I'll restart with a new character. Should I find anything I'll post it here. There is only one thing what I am worrying about: In the basemant I found a special set of robe and hood, which I took with me. But somehow I have lost it on my way, at least I can no longer find it in my 'usual' storage places. Should I need it for a later quest, than I may get a problem...

Thank you very much.

You won't. You'll see many more of those robes during later quests, so nothing to worry about.

Quick question, Does this version include the older versions? It looks interesting but I don't want to end up starting up halfway through a series or something hehe. (In short, do I need to play earlier versions first?)

This version includes everything released earlier and extends it. Just install it, forget it and let yourself be drawn in sooner or later.

Sounds good, thanks for the reply. :goodjob:

That is the best part of the Steps. :hugs: They're just there. I get distracted almost every time I go in to test something and find a step I haven't taken before. :lmao: I blame my village taking as long as it is on the steps in the center of it calling my name.

I think I've hit a snag. I can't get the second new quest to start (Murder Masquarade according to the readme). I finished Welkyn Worries some 13 in-game days ago, so the new quest should be able to start.



To fix this, is it safe to use the setstage console command to force the new quest, or is there a way (without clean saving the mod) to reset the encounter?

Lol! that chase by the guard is indeed a snag. Those cultists should not be set to evil yet. I'll look into that.
As for the quest launch: in the current setup it starts 10-11 days after you finished the first quest. .

Thanks a lot man I'll try that tonight. I was waiting outside. I'll wait inside some shops for a change. When you say

No specific time. Just "the day when it is time for the next quest".
I'll compile a table listing the exact setup conditions for each quest and post it here for anyone who wants to rush through them. Hang on.

I'm constantly running into steps while testing Kragenir's Death Quest. A pleasant surprise every time!

Fantastic mod.

As announced, here is a list of the quests setup conditions and start times. As these quests are not yet covered in the mod package's Spoilers.txt file, this table will serve as the official reference. :deal:
Note that each quest is "set up" before it actually starts, i.e. certain NPCs are moved to certain locations, certain items are enabled, etc. This happens after a predetermined time, usually a week, and when you are not around to witness it. The quest will then launch when you show up in or near a certain place, usually the Imperial City.

1. Welkynd Worries

2. Murder Masquerade:

3. The Daring Dunmer

4. The Audacious Argonians

5. The Dungeon Dabblers

6. Mapping Mayhem

7. Ingred's Inauguration:

8. After completing the previous quest, you can

9. The Vanuasecul Venture

10. Aryarie's Artifact is a little side quest, embedded in the Vanuasecul quest.

11. The True Descendants

If I install Ayleid Steps over FCOM do I need to do any spesific things or just install Cobl's master esm and Ayleid Steps? Does this conflict with FCOM anyway? Is anything else required?

No .Yes .No .No.

That was a lot of questions. I hope the answers suit.

Vac

Ok thanks.

Thanks, Vac.

Install Cobl's master esm plus other resources (meshes, sound, textures folders) in the Cobl Core folder. If you want Cobl's goodies to appear anywhere else in the game than in the mod's areas, then install Cobl glue.esp as well.

Hey Ervyyn, I still have a problem launching the second quest. I ended Welkyn Worries on the 22nd of the month (I checked, it was 30 days long), and now I'm on the 5th of the next, so that gives me 13 days.

So I did the following:

Is there any console command I can use to check if the script works as it should? I've place the Ayleid steps at the bottom of my load order to check, but to no avail. I think .

That probably won't work. Try like this:
Go inside a shop, enable the sheet (console):

then do this:

Now leave the shop and find the document. Reading it should bump the quest with a new journal entry.
I don't know a better solution at the moment. What baffles me is that http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1062044&view=findpost&p=15469277 got the quest running without problems, as I did in countless test sessions. I cannot find any obvious bug in the scripts or quests at the moment. The newly founded http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/forum/67-welcome-to-the-bta-guild/ have agreed to playtest the mod, so I hope this will be sorted out soon.

Thanks a lot, I'll try that immediately. The problem is on my end, since I'm the only one with this issue. I just can't narrow it down.

The problem is definitely on my end. When I try to enable the reference, I get this message "Invalid reference (only object references and reference variables are allowed in this context). I fired up the CS and checked the reference and the one you gave me is correct. I tried activating the paper in and got the same message. I'll try reinstalling the mod. Thanks again for the great mod

Okay. Keep me informed please.
By the way, I'd advise you to keep your load order as it was (ordered with BOSS, I hope) when you started the game. Use OBMM to export the load order and reload it on installing newer mod versions, etc., you know the drill. :toughninja:
