1) After successfully completing "rustlle the brahmin" quest I talked to Duntons at their house and chose the first reply ("Sheesh, calm down..."). They both gave me an "error" message, with the only reply choise being "error".

Ugh, something leftover from the expansion. Fixed.

3) After destroying Becky's still for Frankie and telling him "Why fight her? Join her." and then "Buy liquor from her", he answered that he just wanted her still destroyed and asked if I would do it or not. Since the still is already destroyed, this issue doesn't change much.

Could be considered a bug. Either way, he should just say some happy dialogue about the still being destroyed.

4) This isn't even an issue. :) No matter what I do, I can't fail the speech check when asking Slim Picket for the key. I seem to remember that it was possible to buy the key from him, now he just gives it to me for free.

There is a speech check, but it is really easy to pass. In addition, if you have a good town rep in Klamath, you bypass the check and get the key for free.

I will look into it.
 
Hi! Just a small bug report. In Klamath when talking to Maida Buckner, after selecting "Tell me about what's going on here in Klamath" you get "Error" and 2 choices: 1.Error; 2.Error.
Sorry, if this has already been discussed.
P.S. I'm using Killap's 1.02.22 patch[/img]
 
I don't know if this was mentioned earlier:

In Arroyo, after i get the flint from Aunt, it crashes in two different ways:

1)After i get the flint, if i try to load a saved game (any saved game) it crashes
2)If i talk to Mynoc, after the conversation ends it crashes

I've tried it more than 10 times, but no success.
I'm using the latest version of your patch (not the expansion) and it is correctly installed (i can see the "rock message")

I'm working on windows XP SP2 and followed the installation guide for nt/2000/winxp from this site (humongous install)

I've also run the game in compatibility mode for both win95 and win98.

I wonder -if this is actually a bug- is there any workaround to get the spear from Mynoc? If i don't get it at all, will this affect the rest of the game?

Thanks and keep up the good work :) [/img]

Turns out there IS a bug with Slim Picket - when I tried to barter for the key, the dialogue which normally appears after you finished bartering was displayed atop the bartering screen, obscuring the items.

The following are questions, not bug reports...

1) Is there really any difference between two dialogue options when talking with the prostitute in The Den (Sulik was in my party)?

"It's going to cost you more if you're not alone"

a) "They go where I go."
b) "I want them with me."

Shoudn't there be an option "I *don't* want them with me"?

2) Noticed this because I tend to restart the game alot. :) When doing the first quest for Becky, I told Fred that I will pay 100$ for him and refused to give him another 50$. After that he was either telling me that he was broke and cursed me, or praised me for covering for him. I fail to see the reason behind such different reactions to the same action in different games... is there? Is it random?

3) When ordering whiskey at the Becky's place I paid 3 times but got only 1 bottle (I mean, I lost only 1 Perception). And when somebody is blocking Rebecca, I don't get anything at all. I think this is the case for all barmen who "serve" their clients by running to them and "applying" the booze (and for Miss Kitty in New-Reno, too). Can something be done about it?
-------------------------------------------------
Update.

Robbers in the caves (random encounters) are still buggy. They no longer run as close as possible to me which I believe was part of your fix, but they still do not know how to use their weapons. I can provide you a save if needed.
-------------------------------------------------
Update №2.

Croupier in Redding Casino gives floats in red even though she is not angry.

When talking with the New-Reno Caravan Leader in Redding there is a dialogue option "When on the 21st?". Shoudn't it be "Why on the 21st?"

I did have the same loading problem in Arroyo, but I don't know if it is related to the flint. It went away after a while, so it might be something to with that. I just started a new game and I didn't get any crashes.

If you exit game to main menu, you can still load any game, right?

If you save just before talking to Mynoc, then save, exit game to main menu. Then load the same game, and try talking now.
You can also try to drop your spear on the ground before talking, then you get an extra spear from him. That's worked for me, but I don't know if I had the exact same problem as you.

The spear isn't important for the rest of the game.

This happens to me as well.

Thanks a lot, that worked! :clap:

I followed your advice and tried to save the game just before talking to Mynoc.
An in-game error appeared "Cannot save game".
This happened all over the bridge area, however i managed to successfully save the game in the village area. I quited to the main menu, reloaded and voila, it works smoothly.

This whole thing got me really frustrated, but i guess that's the price we have to pay for playing old games on a newer OS :)

Thanks again
 
A bug with Bess, in Modoc:
When I sell her to Grisham, she's moved to the cattle pen and removed from the party (no 'combat control' button in dialogue). However, if I leave the map and return, she's in the party and following me, not in the pen. She acts like she's still in the pen in dialogue, though.

Also, if I say I'll let her out without opening the gate, all the brahmin try to walk off the screen to the east. They're blocked by the fence and my system slows down dramatically (possibly trying to find paths to get offscreen).

So I can't remove Bess from my party, and now the game thinks I let the brahmin out. This lets me get the 'dead brahmin' encounter, which sets Bess to dead. But she's still in the party, so I have a dead brahmin (still standing!) following me everywhere. Time to reload.


Cassidy's bar in VC: if you lock the door to the back room (after picking it open) you get the message: "you successfully lock the object"

Another typo: when giving you the desert transaction mission, Salvatore says "I am in need of an extra guard to insure that ..."
 
An update for this is due out soon. I caught some issues on my part (as well as fixed some new issues present in the original game) and wish to get them addressed here since they have already been included in my restoration project.

@Per
No rush on the other issues you are compiling, but I would like to include them in the next patch update. Not sure when exactly this will be but I thought I would forewarn.
 
Are we still looking for bugs?

This is pretty much a non issue, but it happened to me twice in a row so...

Arroyo, gecko map.
Where the dog is, to the right of the wooden planks, there's a small hole you can't reach. But geckos and xander root still spawn there.
 
Dunno if this is the right place or not... but...

A question about killap's latest Unofficial patch.
Does official 1.02 need to be installed before the killap's patch or does it not?

I am planning to do patches this way:
1. Install teh game.
2. Install killap's patch
3. npc appearance mod from killap's sig.
4. miria mod.

Would this work?
Thanks to any replies in advance.
 
Number 4 will not work, plus be sure to not install the Interplay Official Patch - you can recognize it by the file patch000.dat - delete that file before installing anything else.

killap's patch contains the official fixes and much more.

Thanks for the reply.
So is it safe for me to say that i have no need to install any official patches before installing killap's patch?

I would love to say good job to Killap for doing a great job with the fixes. :clap:
 
You must have installed it wrong.

I suggest lowering the player's karma every time he steals anything. At least with one point, but i would suggest more. (maybe even 5 points/steal) This way it would make sense putting more points in the stealing skill because stealing one item at a time would be a waste of karma. Plus, stealing stealing stuff will be a sensible issue and now players won't get 3485 bozars and zillions of cash from stealing. You want something, you get it, you suffer the consequences. (i still think that it's better that the guards in NCR have the bozars equipped rather than in their inventory)

Bug?:

Cassidy still doesn't show wearing any armor given to him with the patch 1.1 killap.
Click to expand...
You installed the talking head for him too, right? The problem is that if you do this, you get a script for Cassidy which does not include the b-team appearance mod. The is something I need to work out in the installer.

Also, this doesn't belong in the patch thread.
 
Me, Cassidy, Sulik and Vic encountered a horde of Centaur.

Vic was hit and got his left leg crippled, I was knocked down and getting hit by a centaur continuously turn after turn (other NPC just didn't move) :shock:

It's the first time I stumble across such kinda bug. :crazy:
 
Found a couple more bugs:

Doc Johnson in Redding doesn't purge his inventory when restocking.

Female homesteaders use their float text as their description when looked at, and give no float text when spoken to. (screenshot)

Some walls in New Reno can be shot through – note the targetable bouncers in this screenshot.
 
If you kill the bridgekeeper in combat by an instant kill critical, you do not gain experience for it. I think he is the only critter in the game where this happens. This is how it is in the latest official version of the game, so maybe it is not a bug. Just thought I'd mention it.
