Assigned To  : zippyzee
Priority     : Low

Category     : VGClient
Sub-Category : Gameplay: Quest
Severity     : Standard
Reproducible : Every time

Details:
I cannot examine the Gateway Disk I got from the Hobgoblins in Gai's Nousa, so I'm unable to progress beyond the quest "The Village."

Originated From World: New Telon (1)
Chunk                : Isle of Dawn (1)
Location             : -37636 -4210 281

I thought I fixed the script for that Tuesday, but apparently not. I'll check again tomorrow.

[zippyzee]

This is ready for a retry. The script component to update the quest was buried inside the part offering another quest. It is perfectly possible to have accepted the other quest, have had the bug that didn't update the first quest, and never have the chance to update. Dropping the next quest on the series would have probably worked as a temporary fix but now it should be a full go.

still can't examine the gateway disk

[zippyzee]

Ok. You are not supposed to examine the Gateway Disc. You are supposed to examine the Mysterious Device. I didn't catch that in your initial report. Do you still have a mysterious device?

[Nilso]

On my side, I may be the dumb one but I can't find the Mysterious device on corpses as described .... Tried it may times without any success

[zippyzee]

Got you. It looks like there was a duplicate of the death() function confusing the issue. I think I have it fixed now. (Again).

[Kaliano]

for some reason the mobs will only drop a gateway disk but never the mysterious device. I've tried deleting the item, abandon/restart and reset all quests without success.

[zippyzee]

Did you .reload questscripts? I've been updating the scripts but not been on New Telon to reload them. Even then, given the weirdness of it all It may not take effect until the next server restart. If it is still not working after that then I will have to dive deeper. I appreciate all the testing, though!

I see the issue people are having you have the mysterious device in the HobgoblinWarrior script.

Code: Select all

--[[
	Script Name		: Spawns/IsleofDawn/HobgoblinWarrior.lua
	Script Purpose	: Script for Hobgoblin Warrior (in Gai's Nousa)
	Script Author	: zippyzee
	Script Date		: 2016/02/16
--]]

-- Local variables go here
local an_odd_treasure = 7453
local mysterious_device = 1419351
local gateway_disc = 1419352
local gateway_termination = 7454

-- local vanguard_quest_name = [quest_id]

function spawn(Npc)
	
end

function death(Npc, Player)
	-- If player does not have the quest "An Odd Treasure" and doesn't have the item "Mysterious Device", add it to the loot
	SendMessageToPlayer(Player, "Checking for quest An Odd Treasure")
	if QuestEligible(Player, an_odd_treasure) and not HasItem(Player, mysterious_device, 1) then
		SendMessageToPlayer(Player, "Adding mysterious_device to loot")
		AddLoot(Npc, mysterious_device, 1)	
	end
	
	-- If player is on the quest "Gateway Termination" and does not have a disc, then include in loot
	if QuestCurrent(Player, gateway_termination) then
		if not HasItem(Player, gateway_disc) then
			AddLoot(Npc, gateway_disc)
		end
	end
end

but you don't have that script assigned to any hobgoblins.

Most of the mobs in the village are using this script.

Code: Select all

--[[
	Script Name		: Spawns/IsleofDawn/GaisNousaMob.lua
	Script Purpose	: Generic Script for Hobgoblin Ravager, Hobgoblin Firecaller, Fire Imp (in Gai's Nousa)
	Script Author	: zippyzee
	Script Date		: 2016/03/09  added for drop for The Village quest 03/20/16 Starcrusher
--]]

-- Local variables go here
local gateway_disc = 1419352
local gateway_termination = 7454
local the_village = 7452

function spawn(Npc)
	
end

function death(Npc, Player)
	-- If player is on the quest "Gateway Termination" and does not have a disc, then include in loot
	if QuestCurrent(Player, gateway_termination) then
		if not HasItem(Player, gateway_disc) then
			AddLoot(Npc, gateway_disc)
		end
	end

	-- If player is on the quest "The Village" and does not have a disc, then include in loot
	if QuestCurrent(Player, the_village) then
		if not HasItem(Player, gateway_disc) then
			AddLoot(Npc, gateway_disc)
		end
	end
end

I'm pretty sure the mysterious device get's replaced with the gateway disc when you examine the mysterious device. Ok so you get the gateway disk when you turn in the quest an odd treasure.
