odd noises from the attic.

I just re-checked and you're right. I missed it, just like I missed the attic. *facepalm*

Secrets Not Registering

This is my first mission playing under ver 2.12. I got credit for only 1 secret. The other secrets wouldn't register.  Is it just me or does anyone else have this issue.

when you say 'register' do you mean the pop up messages, or in the stats at the end?

I just quickly noclipped through it and the pop ups all appeared OK (although a horrible z-fighting issue seems to have appeared around one of them..)

[Frost_Salamander]

Yeah it seems to work fine - just completed the mission and the stats look OK too (spoiler alert):

Happy to keep digging though if you can remember anything else that might have been strange?

Having played this mission before, I remembered where most of the secrets were.  When I said "register" I meant the pop-up message did not appear. The sound as well did not chime in. Something happened after that point. Maybe I can narrow it down via my saves. Because I DID get credit for the first secret I found.

I haven't finished the mission yet, so I don't know if I'm going to get credit. That was the only problem I'm having, so far.  I'll up-date later. If I have to play the mission again to see if the issue repeats. I'll go into no-clip mode so I can find out quickly. Maybe no-target too so I won't be bugged

[CountMorillonite]

So I went to the save just before I got my first secret and achieved confirmation like I was supposed to. Then I quickly scooted to where I remembered another secret was, and this time it WORKED. 

So something happened as I continued the mission after that save that "corrupted" things and I carried it with me without knowing until the second secret was found. I can try to pinpoint the moment where something went wrong, but I don't think I can solve exactly what happened.

No one else had this issue, so it's obviously very localized (my problem and my problem alone). It's that good a mission, so I don't mind backtracking. 

I went back to my saves and discovered that my problem started at the Crypt. All saves after this point ruined my secrets tally. I will replay the mission from this point. Everything should be fine.

The corruption occurred after I got by the spectre in the crypt. Damn...I was hoping not to have to go through that again.

Fun mission! I’m replaying it, and can’t remember how to get the coins to the vagrant. Nothing I do seems to work.

You just need to

Place the pouch on his bed, which is outside the window near the canal. Does that not work?

I tried that, but seemingly nothing happens. What would normally happen?

[killsurfcity]

I also can’t seem to find out what happened to my colleague. I’ve been all over the crypt… nothing.

To complete that objective:

Spoiler

you need to do 2 things:

• drop the pouch called 'gold coins' onto Paul's mattress by the canal
• break a window to make it look like a burglary.  You can break the bathroom window.

Not until both these are done will the objective mark as complete

I have yeah.

I triggered the break up of the meeting, then lured the undead into the gated chamber and locked him in. I followed the conspirators out, and found the dropped note at the end by the mausoleum. No objectives triggers tho. Same with the vagrant.

I hope it’s not to do with using a mod pack. I almost never have problems, but some mods don’t like it. It seems to sometimes affect triggered events.

The 'colleague' objective is completed by finding a corpse and reading a note near it.  It's located behind the secret door that opens when you move the torch.

As for the vagrant thing - no idea why it's not working.  I don't remember anyone else ever having trouble with it.  Maybe it is mods?

 

[snatcher]

I cannot detect anything that the Modpack could break. I checked the mission and the potential suspects but nothing.

There are two similar reports that have to do with objectives and visiting the crypt, one from  @CountMorillonite and the other from @killsurfcity.

Perhaps killsurfcity can share his save?

[Frost_Salamander]

well, we still need confirmation that:

Spoiler

• they performed both requirements for the beggar objective
• they found the colleague and read the rotted note

As far as I can tell, I fulfilled all requirements for the beggar objective. As for the colleague one, 

Spoiler

there was neither a body, or a note behind the secret door.

o put the cross on the crypt.  It would not let go out of my inventory as it seemed to be part of cash loot.

How to do this?

You don't need to.  It's not an objective and it was just there as a way to get you into the crypt.  The cross is just loot.
