Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.47 Bug Reports and Suggestions

Golbolco said:
Okay, thanks! Apologies for all the questions, this mod simply doesn't have great documentation and there are some outstanding bugs.

Not a problem, despite a few problems I had a lot of fun with MegaMod.
Hopefully more people play it.

I'll have to talk to Phil instead. I already turned in Jacob and Aileen, and Phil doesn't seem to have any unique dialog regarding this topic. Do I need to do something else?

The guide is referring to vanilla dialogue, but I'm not sure if it'll work after you've already busted the conspirators.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Phil_(Broken_Hills)
The Chosen One can tip Phil $1 or $2 every time they buy something from him, and when tipped a total of $20 he will tell the Chosen One about a secret weapons cache - that can be recovered by some dialogue - in Broken Hills.

When you get into the basement you'll have to step on majority of basement grids for it to count as scouted.
 
Well, I just made it to Vault 14 from the Mariposa computer. The front door is locked, and the Megamod guide says that I was supposed to have a random encounter with a couple of dead supermutants holding the keycard to the door. I never had that encounter, and I don't feel like driving in circles on the world map until I do (if I do at all) so I'm thinking of using the save editor to give myself the key card. What's the key card's name in the save editor?

Alternatively, can't I use the save editor to put the random encounter somewhere on the map?
 
I understand the EPA is full of bugs currently.

Is there any way to get to the NPCs there at present to recruit one (or all) of the three, even cheating it or save editing?

The stairs and elevator are out, I understand that and the vents I can interact with but nothing yet happens.

Thanks for any help.
 
I am having issues with two things right now, other than random crashes that make me save every five minutes.

1: Sulik's sister gives and error in the update box at the bottom left, even though the .msg and the .ini related to her is there. If I click on her, the game crashes.

2: There is no crate for Salvatore's guns anywhere, moving on with the Cold Heart's is impossible. I don't know if it wasn't written into the code, but there is nothing to click that gives an ammo crate.
 
1. Not sure why you are experiencing that one.
2. It's on the gun stash map. Get the job. Go to the map. Grab the crate there. Return to Fence.

If you're on the stash map, killed everybody and can't find the crate, then try to pickpocket Cold Hearts that assisted you during the fight.

I had 1 instance that I could not replicate where one of them picked it up after the fight.
They won't turn hostile if you fail to steal it, so you don't even have to reload after every failed attempt.
 
This is the error message I get with Sulik's sister every time.

Thank you. Did that. Got the quest done.
 
As soon as I touch the door, it goes into the dialgoue and crashes. How do I open the door without that happening?

BTW, I already wiped out the slavers. hehe.

Alphons said:
Also had the issue. If you open the cage door and then talk to her the dialogue will open and she'll escape (you might also have to kill the slavers first).

One more thing. . .there are times when Dogmeat runs away from me to a specific place and starts barking loud. What does this mean and what do I do?

I'm at the slaver camp and he ran next to the door and started barking. He did so in the Wanamingo Mine too.
 
That error usually happens because the text file is missing. Maybe your data\text\english\dialog folder is missing rtibec7.msg? That is the name of the text file for Sulik's sister.

As for Dogmeat, that may be something I wasn't finished adding yet that might have accidentally been triggered. Dogmeat could be trained to find certain items for the player (ammo, drugs, explosives, etc.). I wonder if part of that code is being activated?

If it were working properly, yes. But, the player character is supposed to be able to train Dogmeat to find one type of item only. It's not supposed to happen on it's own. And, I don't think it's ready yet.

Too bad that there won't be any updates it seems. :(

It's there and it still crashes when I try to speak to her.

Well, the mod was not updated since early 2021 and the last news were in April 2022 when an update was estimated to be released in August 2022. And with no news or updates coming up since then...

So I assumed that RL duties/problems put this mod in an indefinite hold.

I've seen waaay to many mods ending up in development hell/zombie status so I guess I'm kinda sceptical now. :(
