Bernice & Clive Mission Question

[OneMug]

BSM 1.8 has been running fine but now the dialog with Bernice goes into a continuous loop and I can't give her the weapon. All my other missions & dialog scripts have been working just fine.

The Desert Eagle isn't removed from my pack or hand after I click the dialog for her to take the weapon. I get a continue but it won't work. By clicking the left mouse button elsewhere I can get the dialog to move off of "continue" but it repeats her telling me who she is and takes me back to my option of telling her to take the weapon and I can't stop the loop. Furthermore, I can't get out of the dialog window to do anything else. I have to close the program with Task Manager.

Also, the servant doesn't have a "get a bottle of wine" choice but will let me talk to Bernice. But he just stands there in the hall. I think some scripting is missing or corrupted.

A couple of years ago, when I did the mission with an earlier BSM version, I got Bernice out without anyone getting hurt but the Servant took one shot at us (missed) and the game counted that as not doing the mission without violence.
I've tried to follow the procedure of Thisone & More Dread from Jun 2010. Same result.
Any ideas for fixing this problem? OneMug

As in the main mod thread, I too have this problem. A script error somewhere?

R@S, now that I'm cgl 9, I've tried the Bernice & Clive mission again. Still get that infinite loop when trying to talk to Bernice. Can you suggest some way to fix the problem? Is it a read only problem (I've tried piddling around with this but don't know exactly which files might need that) or a scripting error or what?

Is there some info I could give you that would be helpful for you to fix - if you have the time, of course? Or will it just be in my active missions until I finish the game & hang up my web belt?

I'm really enjoying the variety and challenge of this game. Thanks very much, R@S for improving and extending it. I have and occasional CTD (with or w/o an error window) but they're few & far between. Outstanding job!

Is it possible to complete the quest the bad way meaning killing clive for benitias father?

[R@S]

The Benicia quest is fubar, sorry. There's no way to complete it without using a fixed version of the source code. Since it would require a new game I planned to release it a while back, but other things has taken all my spare time.

R@S, thanks for the reply. At least the mission is minor and shouldn't keep anyone from completing the main mission. I can live with that. I thank you again for all your work on this game. Excellent!

Hurzwa, did you have the script problem too? Hadn't thought of your suggestion. But I'll see how that goes. I can always reload. Guess I'm just a romantic.

I still don't know how to hide what might be spoiler text. I pixel hunt all the reply icons and search the forum but no joy. Anyone?
