[RELz] Windfall 1.0, second thread

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:26 pm

Too bad - still not working. :confused:
April's topics are:
-April Flowers
-Rumors
-Windfall
-Windfall Island
Spoiler
First line of most recent journal entry (A Revelation):
"April's request doesn't sound all that easy."
Console getstage reports WFMQ21S 20.00
The thing is, I already took the book and chose to pocket the key - but I don't think it added the key to my inventory.
No new next quest stage popped up talking about the key, and April has no new topics for me.
I do have the (stolen) book, but I don't have the key in my inventory and I'm still at 20.00...

Sorry to be a pain :brokencomputer: but without help I'll have to abandon the mod, yikes!

I don't see anything here to panic about. If this can't be fixed, we can certainly work around it. Windfall is pretty modular in design which will allow us to bypass the area, if needed. Give me some time, I'll get back to you with something, probably tomorrow.

Gryphon,

It seems as though as a script misfired, but it should be fairly easy to overcome. Let's see if we can fix this without skipping anything.

In the console enter these commands:
Spoiler


(to make sure you have the proper key)
Player.additem xx051BB9

(Advance the stage to where it needs to be)
SetStage WFMQ21S 30

Close the console, and talk to April. You are looking for a topic Gorvette Diamond Book or something similar. If it isn't there enter this command in the console:

Addtopic xx051C61


Note: xx is the load order of the .esm file. If you aren't sure what the load order is try this:

In the console click on April. Her object id should appear on the screen. The first two characters of her object id will tell you the load order of the .esm file. Use those two characters to replace the xx in the commands above. It is important to use the load order of the .esm file, not the .esp file.

Let me know if this works. Please try it this weekend. I will be around Monday and Tuesday, but after that I will be away until Jan 4, 2010.

Customer support par excellance! :bowdown:
(And customers, by definition, typically pay money.)
It was the key, sir!
Once I added the key, I could feel it.
I did have to setstage 30, but that was it - April's new topic appeared by itself, and I am off and running now. :celebration:
A million times thankyou-thankyou, once again!
Best Regards

I downloaded Windfall yesterday and visited today for some quests, very nice indeed,'
however which faction to join? My first response was the Righteous because the count
seems to be a really bastard but then I started thinking I have not meet the count yet
I have only heard what others say about him, a difficult choice indeed.

You know what ?
I really like this one :)
I am playing a couple of days now and it gave new life to my game - I like exploring a new area and this is full of well made dungeons - reminds me a bit of OOO - with unique items scattered about etc. I hope I am not breaking any quests - I mean it is non-linear, right ? One can find that shield without having first to talk to its owner I mean :)
If it is like that it is a 10ner!

Now a couple of things : I second http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=979873&view=findpost&p=15271914 remarks. And some personal ones - I haven't met Brend yet but I met Alex - I was a bit disappointed that he had nothing to say to me - like "will you join my army ?" or "what are you doing in my apartments ?" or "talk to my steward". Especially adding a couple of checks (like checking the level of the player or its fame or whether he is the champion or the archmage) and modifying the responses accordingly would greatly add to the immersion. Don't get me wrong, this is something few mods (if any) have really managed to get and yours is quite close :)
Ah yes something else : the highlighting of the (unread) topics puzzles me a little - I have gone through the same infos many times which gets a bit tiresome sometimes. Also I feel that some infos are slightly bigger than they should - still most of them are exceptionally well written :goodjob:

Great mod, I'm just playing through it and I really like it. More importantly, I also like the town. It's not overdone, and it has a nice layout.
Only thing I didn't like that much so far is the Windfall Guide by our famous Alessia Ottus, that I was looking forward to reading once I was given it. If you've read the vanilla books, you'd know that they are not as informative as your version, Alessia expresses her sharp opinions about towns with a sarcastic type of humor that I really liked, also she's a bit of a religious fanatic, so she points out every religious aspect of each town and she expresses her disappointment, if she finds lack of faith... Anyway, her books are really fun to read. Yours was strictly informative and had nothing of Alessia's style. So I'm just pointing that out, at it's up to you if you try to do something about it :]
Once again, cool mod! Thanks.

I just visited Narn - didn't manage to sell any stolen items - probably I have to do a quest or something. Still when I wore the gray cowl his disposition dropped by 20. Except if there is a reason I 'd rather see his disposition rise :)

I went to Rafaelius and out of habit killed him - then found the diamond. Marvel won't speak any topic about it though - I think the quest stage is not set properly in this case.

Yeah, same here. I was wearing lots of stolen rings and other sh-t from the castle [ perfectly done, btw. ], but he didn't buy any of it :/

Alright, I have a second query. I led Jude into the cave in order to search for his father. Then, we went through the portal and into another section (the Windfall part, I'm assuming) of the cave. A few meters into the cave, I came across a fissure with no crossing, so I simply pushed Jude down by walking against him and followed after. I killed everything that was there and we kept going until I saw the door to Windfall. When I looked behind me, I saw Jude follow, then suddenly disappear. I tried waiting, etc. everything but he's not there anymore...is this a glitch?

In my previous FCOM install, Wrye Bash indicated that Windfall had an error and was not included in the Bashed Patch. I've read on these forums that others have had that issue as well.

Has this been fixed? Does that even affect anything?

Really looking forward to installing this with my new uFCOM setup... :)

I believe the error in Bash may have to do with the LOD being order independent. I could be wrong, but I do seem to recall the modder who made the LOD order independent mentioning this. I don't think this is anything to worry about.

As for Jeb, his disappearance affects nothing, should be expected, and is planned. He never should have made it as far as the cave on Windfall Island.

Spoiler
I'm not sure why, I think is has to do with timing of packages and scripts. Before the player goes through the portal in the cave, Jeb should run up to you and tell you that he thinks his father is dead, and he going back to his farm. He does ask you to continue on, but never expects to hear from you again. Jeb should then run off.


As part of the cleanup built into the transfer from the Intro quests in the Main Game world space to core mod in the Windfall World Space, Jeb is removed from the game. Once the player actually gets to Windfall a number of things are triggered through some scripts. Most of it is a built in safety in case something went wrong during the intro quest. When I designed this my intent here was two fold. One - leave the Main Game as untouched as possible. Two - get the player to Windfall to start the main part of the mod. That is only reason Jeb and his quests exists. The really have nothing to do with Windfall itself. I just wanted to start the mod a little differently.

I had mentioned this is some of the early posts when the mod was first released, but that was a long time ago and probably burined or removed by now.

Ahaa...Thats why...OK if that's it, it doesn't matter, Jude just randomly disappears when he's following me up the final ramp into Windfall. Another thing is, I joined The Righteous faction and have just started the part about spying around the Brend's Barrels Pub. I went there every night at around 12 o Clock and all I got was somebody asking me to check that the warehouse is doing it's job properly. Is that the only thing that ought to happen?

I'd have to look up exactly who you talk to, but the best time is dinner time, or just after.
Spoiler
If I recall correctly the person you need to find is female, and give her a few beers. If after the first beer, there is no change in dialog response, then you got the wrong woman. With the right person after a few (3 I think) you'll get the info you need.

I downloaded this mod yesterday and started playing it, I must say I am impressed, well done. Just one question, I exited the caverns after I wen through portal, and found Windfall city. The problem is, any NPC I encounter has no option to talk to in dialog boy, except Rumors (not counting guards with their usualy talk about Gray Fox, etc.). I must say I talked to them at night, if that means something. I just started playing this mod, so maybe I missed something, but it was a bit weird to me. Any clues?


jurisnik,

I've just started this mod, with a character fresh from the sewers. When I emerged into Windfall I was immediately approached by an NPC, a writer who was waiting to get back to Anvil. He had loads to say and gave me an (outdated) guidebook. Is it possible that you need to speak to this character to update everything? Perhaps you missed him?

Loving the mod. I'm impressed with the backstory, and the tense feel of the town, with the warring factions and the Imperial Legion stuck in the middle.

Seems to me that you have to start making choices in the plotline almost immediately.


I have the same problem as jurisnik had, but when I talk to the writer outside the cave, the quest still doesn't start and he only has the topic 'Rumors'.
The quest also completely disapeared from my quest-list
Is there any way to fix this? (startquest or something?)

EDIT: I tried reloading my save games from before entering the cave, going to the exit the quest still doesn't get triggered.
I looked at my bashed patch report and I have the same error message as ag8796 above

Do you guys perchance use Lore Dialogue 300 Updated? I ask this because its Nexus description contains this:

6. CONFLICTS/KNOWN ERRORS

- Users of Windfall mod have experienced problems running both mods together with Windfall dialogue not showing up. No solution has been found yet.



Hope you get it solved. Windfall is a great mod.
