Bugs encountered so far

I found another bug. This one is actually quite funny.
Star Paladin Cross is not allowed to wear Brotherhood armor. I guess it's a copy+paste error.

In script "BrotherhoodFactionOutfitWarningScript" (00134B6F) this code block needs to be removed:

Code: Select all

Begin OnAdd StarPaladinCrossRef
	ShowMessage CompanionFactionArmorMsg
	DropMe
End

Hah!

Is this intentional, by the way?

[RoyBatty]

No just a copy/paste error. We were getting quite tired of working on the companions after recoding them all.

00045A61 GenericDoorOpenedElsewhereSCRIPT makes it impossible to open the door 08009489 by the switch 0800948B in the Pitt's Supply Plant with the current onLoad lock 255. Vanilla bug?

Ooh, I think I remember running into that in 3.2. Was wondering what the deal was with that. Can't remember if I had the same issue in vanilla Fallout 3, it's been probably at least 10 years lol.

Another minor vanilla bug - this time in The Pit:

In the Steel Mill there is a wounded worker on the ground. As soon as you approach him, a guard comes and starts yelling and kicking him. You can treat or kill the worker. Problem is, next time you enter the trigger, the guard approaches the spot again and the show repeats (even if you treated the worker and he is shoveling coal).

Bug is in script "DLC01FF008TriggerScript" (0800B361). It is missing the condition for "doOnce".

Replace this:

Code: Select all

if IsActionRef player == 1

with this:

Code: Select all

if ( IsActionRef player == 1 && doOnce == 0 )

I was just standing at that door, hammering at the button to no effect. The thing is that you can't activate something that is locked. So, I think the correct fix is to add an "unlock" in front of the "activate" like this:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

Begin onActivate
	
	if (IsActionRef player == 1)
		ShowMessage GenericDoorActivatedElsewhereMsg
	else
		Unlock
		Activate
	endif
	
End

No. Why? Devs' intention was to lock this door for all NPCs so that only PC could use it as the exit and only from the side opposite to entrance. It needs either additional scripting or we can just ignore the fact that some potential NPC may try to use that door and simply remove onLoad code block.

It seems you don't realize that my fix does exactly that. It allows the player to open the door via the switch on the end of the hallway. NPCs cannot open the door.

Nope. It unlocks the door for everyone but PC including the switch. Any NPC may just activate the door and it will open without the need of the switch.

If you don't like this solution (which works fine btw.), you can also use this one:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

Begin onActivate
	
	if (IsActionRef player == 1)
		ShowMessage GenericDoorActivatedElsewhereMsg
	else
		if GetOpenState == 3	;closed
			SetOpenState 1
		elseif GetOpenState == 1	;open
			SetOpenState 0
		endif
	endif
	
End

NPCs cannot open the door directly (I have tested it) and the player can use the switch to open/close the door.
