Report number two of the inventory problems persisting came in earlier. I still can't replicate the problem in my own game.
Seems like a dirty save issue, but of course, no one can be fucked to clean their save.
So, I decided to try a different tack. If I can get the NPCs the hell OUT of the save game completely, they should reset fully. Problem is, simple disable/enable commands don't do that.
Ran up a plugin similar to the No Protectrons one - that removes all ten NPCs from the access tunnels totally. In theory, saving with them gone, and then removing the removal plugin, would spawn them anew, for the first time as far as the game was concerned.
Trouble is, it didn't work when I first tried it. Figured it might be another dirty save issue, and started a new game. Sure enough, works fine, now.
Still have to test to see whether it actually resets them or not.
I hate to say it, but there may have been so many changes made to the mod over the last few months that there's just no getting around needing to clean out the savegame.
Still getting the urge to wash my hands of this whole mess.
How long have I been fucking with this showering thing, now? Three weeks? And for what? People still bitching I don't tailor the mod to their whims, code still doesn't work right...
The irony is I don't even like vaults. I only got involved in this damned mod for the companion system. I could strip it out, make it a standalone master, do the CM thing... But, of course that feels like I'd be abandoning the players who actually like the vault, itself. Gods know if it wasn't tied to my girls, I'd drop this fucking mod so fast it'd cause a sonic boom on the way down.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated - I have run into a few problems, but nothing in desperate need of fixing.
ReplyDeleteStill the nicest piece of real estate in the Capitol Wastelands, and the NPC system is my second favorite of its kind. (First is Kelsy and Jessi, and they are not without their own quirks.) Yours provides a wide plethora of characters, so I use both.
I hope that you can get back your enjoyment of crafting the mod, goodness knows that I certainly enjoy the fruits of your hard labor. - The Auld Grump
Thanks for the support.
ReplyDeleteLike I've said: pressure relief valve, ranting, etc.
I doubt I'm ever going to get any enjoyment from working on the vault itself. I never have in the first place. I just had to make changes to get it doing what I wanted. Now that it does that, the drive to keep working on it is fading.
Still, I've fixed the naked NPCs issue.
Just have to decide whether I want to try to do anything with that inaccessible door in the tunnels before I upload 5.5
