Tears of St.Lucia Obj update problems

[anton_es]

hi, I tried searching but I couldn't find any topics regarding my problem:

i just played st.lucia again on 1.02 and when

I got the relic (hidden in the priest's secret room)

the obj screen updated this obj with a mark - completed. a little bit later

(i had all the 1500 loot but still did not damage the statue)

I checked the obj screen again and the mark is GONE although

I have the box in my possession

. Now I finished all objectives but when I leave the church I can't end the mission, the mission just continues on......

the obj screen misses the mark for the relic box

....

 

I have a savegame if it helps: http://dl.dropbox.co...457202/luci2.7z

 

PS: thanks for this superb mod, I always enjoy playing it and the updates you provide

OK, I'll take a look but if it is a bug it might not help you. Meanwhile you might try dropping it and picking it up again. (I can't remember though if it is droppable.)

 

Also can you please put a spoiler in your post. You've given away one of the main objectives! Spoilers are in 'Other Styles' drop down list at top left of the main forum post editor. Thanks.

I confirm the error but I think it's a Dark Mod bug. I'll check into this further but I don't see any fix for your current save as the relic is undroppable. I even looked at your game save in a hex editor but no easy way I could see to make it droppable without a lot of trial and error. Even if we fix the bug for the next update it possibly won't help you. There is a fix if you feel like starting the map again (see below) but otherwise all you can do is play it out and accept that Mission Complete won't show. Sorry about this.

 

So, if you want to restart then use a zip program to extract maps/saintlucia.map from the pk4 (it's a normal zip file.) So you should have doom3\saintlucia\maps\saintlucia.map.

 

Edit the map file in a plain text editor and search down for "The Relic".

In that definition for the relic you'll see:

"inv_droppable" "0"

 

Change it to:

"inv_droppable" "1"

 

Resave the map. Make sure it's saved as saintlucia.map and not suffixed with .txt. No need to put it back in the pk4.

 

Now if you start again and the same problem occurs you can drop the relic and grab it again to refresh the completed objective. I tested this and it does work. Note that the box will float. It's just a static not intended to be dropped but no harm done.

thanks for the quick reply. I masked the spoilers, I thought in the TechSupport it would not be a problem, sorry.

I didn't mind the mission not finishing but wanted to submit the bug anyway - you never know where it is coming from and if it affects other maps as well - your fix worked, I tried it out of interest.

 

thanks for your work
