Fallout 2 - cannot talk to Smiley the trapper

First time out of the vault
Guys I need some help. I'm playing Fallout 2 with Restoration Project 2.0 and high resolution patch installed.

The situation is as follows:

During the "Find Smiley the trapper" quest in Klamath, after I arrived in the Toxic Caves - and killed a few geckos on my way in - I finally found Smiley. I told him I came to get him out of there and he agreed to follow me.
Just before we left, I used my stealing skill on him and made him lighter by 3 gecko pelts. He didn't turn hostile, so I assume he didn't notice. So I left with Smiley at my back.

After we both climbed up the ladder out of the toxicated area, he stopped following me! To make things worse, I can no more talk to him. When I click on him, the game only shows the "hand" icon, and opens Smiley's inventory. I can get all his items without him showing interaction.
I even tried to go to Klamath, only to find no signs of Smiley and that the quest was not yet completed.
I went back to the toxic caves and found him there, still without being able to talk to him. And he doesn't move at all. He only acts like the bookshelfs we find throughout the game.

Any leads?
 
He was probably knocked out in a fight with one of the geckos, and the fight ended before he came around again.
Try to start combat and push next turn a few times and see if he comes back to you.
 
Hm,i had a similar situation, the only difference was there was a little pool of blood beside smiley despite him standing, i guess he was killed but due to a bug he was still following me, try examining smiley.
You should try what Darek suggested, if that dosent work, all i can think of is reloading a save before you talked to smiley.
 
You could also try to edit the Smiley critter by changing the map LVARs in F2se.exe, but you would have to know what you're doing - I wouldn't know, but if I were desperate I'd try some guesses...

Too bad I saved just after I climbed the ladder upstairs... :( I'll try what Darek suggested and report back.
Thanks to all.
