[Save Editing]Quest Problem.

[reas24]

Hey,

I am looking for help or answer if this is even possible to do.
I have a problem with the quest on casino research i've done everything in the mission till Part 5 which ask you to land back on station where u meet Drek Wadda and get into casino and when i arrived quest changed to "Speak to Drek Wadda" but the problem is Drek is nowhere to be seen in the casino(I saw on youtube video that it also should trigger a cutscene of some sort). And i thought that he might not yet arrived? Since he just got out of anomaly and stuff and i left and spent like 10 hours doing something else and came back in the casino few times and he still wasnt here. And now i oppened save file to maybe possibly trigger something or complete mission or anything.
I found this part:

Code: Select all

<cue id="736728" name="The_Anomalies_Destroy_Mines" state="complete" time="162947.887">
<cue id="736729" name="The_Anomalies_Mines_Destroyed" state="complete" time="163005.588">
<cue id="736730" name="The_Anomalies_Mines_Destroyed_Drek_Speak_End" state="complete" time="163012.503"/>
<cue id="736731" name="The_Anomalies_Boso_Conv_Start" state="complete" time="163012.503">
<cue id="736732" name="The_Anomalies_Boso_Conv_End" state="complete" time="163057.017">
<cue id="736733" name="The_Anomalies_Traversed_Anomaly" state="cancelled"/>
<cue id="736734" name="The_Anomalies_Changed_Sector" state="cancelled"/>
<cue id="736735" name="The_Anomalies_Destabalised_Drek_Speak" state="complete" time="163071.526">
<cue id="736736" name="The_Anomalies_Destabalised_Drek_Speak_End" version="2" state="complete" time="163092.923">
<cue id="736737" name="The_Anomalies_Entered_Station" state="complete" time="163570.577">
<cue id="736738" name="The_Anomalies_Entered_Casino" state="complete" time="163999.023">
<cue id="736739" name="The_End_Drek_Conv_Start" state="waiting"/>
<cue id="736740" name="The_End_Cutscene" state="waiting"/>
<cue id="736741" name="The_End_Cutscene_Shot_2" state="waiting"/>
<cue id="736742" name="The_End_Cutscene_End" state="waiting"/>
<cue id="736743" name="The_End_Drek_Conv_Finished" version="2" state="waiting"/>

And tried to play with "waiting" or "complete" states to either go back in progression or complete everything(Didn't work game crashes if i change anything in this). As you can see quest is stuck at Conv_start state= waiting. And i just can't find Drek anywhere.
So i am looking for possible solutions to this either to edit save somehow or locate Drek or move him to station preferably(altrought by that time i forgot what station was that tbh)(I can't load older save i don't have it in either auto-save or anywhere cuz 20 hours of playtime ahead of the point when quest got to this state) but anyway to mod out or do something to progress this one research or any possible solutions are welcome too(but not ones that will force all research to be completed or brick any further quests)

I strongly discourage changes in the saved game especially when it comes to missions. Completing (even in parts) one mission could trigger cues of several MD scripts (not necessarily missions). Changing saved game settings will most likely cause further problems. I'm not saying it's impossible but certainly very tricky.

You may want to consider to post in the main forum asking for help with the mission. The X community is very helpful and the chances are high that someone else has encountered the same problem and is able to help.

If you are sure that it is a bug and if your game is not modified then you may want to file a bug report in the tech support forum with all the required details listed in the sticky thread there.

However, if none of the above applies to you and If you do not wish to replay the mission by loading an earlier saved game then the only "sound" way is to track down the mission script, find the condition where it is "hung up" and then trigger the condition using an own script.

Cheers Euclid
