Official Fulqrum Publishing forum - I Join INCo to attack

Okay, not shortly after writing the last post, I've found a way to continue this mission.

It seems there is a bug in the mission script, which causes script processing to stop, so no further events are processed. (*)

To fix this, you need to edit the mission's script - do so at your own risk, make a backup of all files you change, don't blame me, if anything goes wrong ;)

Fix:

Fire up your favorite plain text editor (windows notepad will do fine)
In your SW3 install directory open the file 'Data\Scripts\Quests\mission_8e\InoCoSecret_XT45.sc ript' with the text editor. (don't forget to make a backup of this file).
Search for "ship_uel1:SetGodMode();" (without the quotes)
Modify this line so it reads "ship_uel1_1:SetGodMode();" (without the quotes) (modification marked in red)
Save the modified file
Load your savegame (must be from before you arrived at the station and the dialog with the 'strangers' started).
Enjoy ;)

May I say *wow* on how the mission continued :o

If you look at the script it is clear which parts run correctly and which don't.

Code:

[...]

--info:top=630,left=80,allvis=0;

function Uel_ComeOn()

  CreatePortalGlow(mothership:GetPosition()+Vector3(-60, 0, -60), Vector3(0.5, 0, 0.5), 5);

  NewFlight("Uel_Group", "uel1", "Manticore_ino1", "Uel", mothership:GetPosition()+Vector3(-58, 0, -58), Vector3(0.5, 0, 0.5));

  ship_uel1_1:SetGodMode();

  NewInocoFlight("Uel_Group", "uel2", mothership:GetPosition()+Vector3(-58, 20, -58), 1, 16, Vector3(0.5, 0, 0.5));

  NewInocoFlight("Uel_Group", "uel3", mothership:GetPosition()+Vector3(-66, -15, -50), 1, 16, Vector3(0.5, 0, 0.5));

  NewInocoFlight("Uel_Group", "uel4", mothership:GetPosition()+Vector3(-50, -15, -66), 1, 16, Vector3(0.5, 0, 0.5));

  flight_uel2:Escort(ship_uel1_1);

  flight_uel3:Escort(ship_uel1_1);

  flight_uel4:Escort(ship_uel1_1);

  Timer_Seq(5,Uel_Dialog);

end;
