I'm having a little trouble with the Awaken mod too...

When I give the 'Hangman' in the Raider Camp the Super Cattle Prod, while I can still talk to him, the quest never seems to tick over as being completed.

Also, in the raider camp, I can't get the quest from Wilsion to save the missing raider... but if I save him and then see Wilson, I get the rifle... is this just a bug? Are there any other quests in this camp or am I too much of a goodie to get them?

Last... in Rampart... what's the trick to completing Gators quest (solving the caravan problem). I've tried doing things (Jenny's quests) in different ways but with little luck.

Any thoughts?


Oh, Dukester, your efforts in making this mod into the simple single installer version is most appreicated :ok:


Cheers,

Eric

I noticed that also. I tried a lot of things and then just gave up and started shooting.

No idea. I toyed with this also but couldn't figure it out myself.

I think you go to the site marked on your map, a bit South of Rampart, and look around, there is a notebook on the ground and when you pick it up you are in for a nasty ambush. definitely save before you pick up the book. I had to switch off CTB mode for this one.

I've been in Diablo 2 mode for a couple weeks, I tend to rotate through my games. Next is JA2:UC then back to FoT, although I have IWD and Planescape Torment to go through someday here also.

As far as bugs and glitches in Awaken goes, you have the full source, the editors, everything you need to investigate and explore the mod. I poke around with it sometimes but I'm not part of the original authors and I really don't know what I'm doing so I honestly don't have much advice other than my experiences from playing it, which was pretty fun.

*slaps himself around the head*

My mistake... this quest is actually based in New Chicago, not Rampart as I said... it's the quest which will give you a house there if you complete it but, as I said, I've never been able too.

And you're right... picking up that notebook certainly gives you a nasty surprise....

Oh, just a note to other players.... I found when I found all the train parts, the game appeared to crash when the movie went to play and no amount of waiting seemed to see things come right.... I CRTL-ALT-DEL to the task manager, and selected the thing to shut down, which of course, it didn't do immediately... but I then heard the 'snick' of a weapon being reloaded and cocked... I cancelled the shutdown request and went back to the game and all was well.

And for those who can't find the train parts, look here...

I ran into the same problem after boarding the train. Thanks for that tip!

Unfortunately, I have run into a similar problem when first arriving at the "toxic factory". I open the outer doors, the ghoul gives his line about closing the doors and right after I click on "close" for his dialog, Tactics crashes with a prompt from XP to send a report.

Any ideas? It's frustrating to think that I got so close to finishing it only to hit this wall.

I'm really enjoying this mod (or at least I was <g>)

The only suggestion I could make would be to revert to an earlier save and try again. Failing that, copy those save files to another place, reinstall FOT and then the Mod, copy the saves to their folder and try again.

Awaken Fallout Tactics mod help

OK, so I just installed the awaken mod for FOT and it works and all fine, but when I got to the underground part of the Biological reaserch center, you know, the part where you just find out you have to blow up the turrets, it wont let me get back to above ground. I went to the spot where it's supposed to transfer you the above ground map, but it seems to load the underground map again and put me right back where I was because the screen goes to the map loading screen and then back to where I was standing underground. It did this once and now it won;t even attempt to load it when I step in the same spot in the underground cave.

Help? Thanks.
 
Did you kill the scanvengers? I seem to remeber you have to kill them to get a rope to get back out or something (its been a while since I played it)
 
Calculonn, Wild Qwerty is correct. You need to kill the scavengers in the cave then get their rope and then finally go over there. It will now transfer you out.



Cheers Thorgrimm
 
Ok thanks! I would have never thought to kill the scavengers, as they seemed like nice enough guys. :)
 
So... is there an walkthrough for this mod anywhere? Or a special forum where quest issues are treated (apart from the 2 on NMA)?


My problems: (so far)
-How to solve the "caravan robbery problem" for Gaator, in New Chicago! (not the one where U get the notebook)

-There are 2 hidden pieces of paper U find, 1 Junktown and the other in Bartertown telling you that there's a key hidden 25 paces North of the great tree (in Barter Town I presumed) which oppens a locker with a lot of money in New Chicago. I couldn't find it!!! But the locked lockers are there. I mopped the whole Bartertown for that key... :?

-Still in New Chicago, there's a guy who allows you to leave pary-members. But you can't recruit nobody. If I leave a member and come back later, will I find someone else instead of whom I left? :?
 
Been awhile since a posting on Awaken so...

It's what i'm currently trying to play now.. unfortunately everytime I come across a bug or something I don't like I try to change it and end up messing up the whole game. So I haven't got that far in it.

The only fix I've been able to come up with is in the BRC :mission mystic-03: For some reason you could never get the holodiscs to download all messages you could only use one. I tried lots of complicated things. Adding a clickable dialog.. Adding people ghosting them and calling them holograms, that seemed to work was a bit silly. So the easiest way I found is to just have one holodisc/ take out the end bars from the bottom of the top two missions in the dialog text and have one holodisc tell the whole tale. Also there are two mystic_03 txt files. If you take one out the game doesn't seem to work. I just can't figure out why there are two.

Obviously there are three ways to go in this game. Bad guy, Soh or Bos.. Problem is nothing points to Soh or Bos, you more or less stumble upon them. So I keep thinking that I should just have the BRC computer just open these on the map. But then I haven't played through the whole game yet. So I keep trying to....but then I keep messing with it and starting over. Who knows if I'll ever complete it.

I do think it's the best mod i've seen for FOT and i'm looking forward two the Darkfall mod. It says they need help, map builders, script writers and such.. I keep thinking about helping............ but that's all I seem to be doing about it.

Maybe there are others out there who would like to help them..

www.atomicp.prv.pl

I just wish they would hurry up and release The Fall in america. It seems like the game with the most prospect. (for me at least)

It seems that since graphics have gotten so much better that they have completely forgotten the story line. Vampire;Bloodlines was fun but linear and short. Morrowind was fun but confusing and sometimes downright annoying......"where the heck am I? what am I supposed to be doing now?" "Guess i'll kill things.......oops ruined a main plot quest!"

Guess this last part should have gone in a rant section somewhere. Oops oh well. I could probably cut and paste but I don't think I will.............nope I didn't

I'm on a dial up so I've not been able to download Awaken, but from what I know of it are you sure you're meant to be able to read the other messages, sounds like you get a different message per choice?

Oh and was there a point to this post? You don't actually seem to be asking anything or telling us anything interesting.
 
Awaken help

Love this mod and all, but I have no idea how im supposed to do this quest.

its the one in new chicago where you have to stop the caravans from being raided. supposidly you get a house for doing it. I of course have no lead as where to go.

Also were any of you able to finish the spiritus quest in the beginning?

There is some raider camp where you go and kill them all, cant remeber how to unlock the map though
 
You just stumble upon it. Most of the maps are just stumbled upon.... If you play the game as it is with no exploration, it more or less leads you to SOH before you ever find BOS, and the BOS map has so many maps that if you've uncovered them, or other certain things in the game. You can't join. Basically.. (i haven't reached the end yet) if you follow the river bed to the right you can start out with BOS. I just wish I could figure out a way to fix all the damn bugs in the game. Alot of the things are based on your reputation. But the game seems to over do it on rep so your either all the way up to savior or all the way down to evil, within the first three maps. I keep trying to play the game straight through, just to do it. but then I stop and mess around with it, create a new character....decide that's cheating or messing with someone elses creation.. reload it, start again...... It's very tedious.. I don't know why i'm so obsessed with it. I have no idea if it would be correct of me to redo some things and then make a mod for a mod..... Probably not considered a good think.. I might try to write a mini, quicky, faq for it. But that's just a might. Basically I printed out all the dialog texts for each mission and mini mission.. so I know what quests are available and I know what dialog there is supposed to be.....but sometimes that dialog just doesn't show up. And like I said I just can't figure out how to fix it.

One problem i've noticed is that your rank or personality has alot to do with some of the dialog options. problem is that the only way to raise personality is your ch. There doesn't seem to be a command in the script box to add rank. You can add all the reputation you want but it doesn't affect your personality..

It basically comes down to I have to finish the original game the way they intended it to be played to figure out if I want to change it.
that could take awhile....... So far i've been pretty good at messing up the game but not fixing it..

And since they are working on Darkfall now, I doubt they would want to try to fix it.. Awaken was probably just a starter to get them going.. I think Darkfall will be really good if they have a good story line.
 
well I just really like the game. I think they did a better job at modding FOT than anybody else has. And I'm trying to show a little support for a good project. Also just hoping to open up a forum where people could talk about Awaken since it doesn't seem to be a hosted site. They have a very small site, well two very small sites one for awaken and one for darkfall. But no forum to talk about that project.

And no; all the holodiscs are supposed to be read so you know the entire story of what happened at the BRC so I was just trying to tell people a way, the only way I found to fix it. I'm sure someone else could figure it out. Maybe somebody could put up an awaken sticky so that questions could be asked and answered without having to search the entire forum looking for threads on the game. Of wich there are very few with nothing answered.

Like the Key question, I couldn't find one thread that answered the Key question. I know where the key is. Maybe others would like to know. I don't know. It's been awhile since anyone asked.
