After Le Havre killing no dialog with Yakut

Hi all Irradiated Stalkers,

Waiting for Stalker 2 then I try to complete the StalkerSoup Mod for the Fourth Time.

I'm on the Search for Fang Killer Branch of the game.

I have to fight with Le Havre due to Fang Death.
I killed the Bastard but I don't get the Yakut Dialog to continue Quest to Agroprom Underground.
I had read the Forum and found the InfoPortion relative to Le Havre Death : Info_Gavr_Dead but when I use the <ESC>S to get the spawn menu and issue the Info_Gavr_Dead it says :
* Removed Info Portion [INFO_GAVR_DEAD]
* Gave Info Portion [INFO_GAVR_DEAD]
That means that the info Portion already defined so the problem is not that the game does not notice Le Havre is dead but is in another part of the game logic.

I'm playing the last setup found on MODDB : 
Version 1 Release 1 Revision 19 Micro Revision 1

Any help greatly appreciated

\PapyStalker

You are right, if an info portion is "removed" by the game it usually means that the game has already given you that info portion successfully.

Info portion info_gavr_dead is given to you

Spoiler:

I don't think you can complete the "find Ghost" section until you have done this.

Hi PChester,
Thank for your fast answer.

I have checked the completed tasks and found that the Task Group "Find someone who knows of the missing team" is complete:
- Find the Mercenary ...
- Find Ash Gray ...
- Talk to the scientist

and task "Find the group of scientist in Lab X10" is completed also

Any more ideas ?

\PapyStalker

More : Is there somewhere a tutorial on how to MOD the Game / X-RAY Engine and the background logic that is used. Looking in XML and LTX files does not help !

I already asked some of you for translating this beautiful mod in French cause my best friend play stalker but don't read English ...

Hi PapyStalker

I'd advise that you reinstall your game, as the files you downloaded from ModDB are obsolete and no longer work properly

For the correct files, and the update to 1.10095, please see the Installation Guide [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

After searching info from the forum, the Game is already in 1.1.0019.5.
In the Resources\Updates folder "StalkerSoup 1.1.0019.5 Setup.Exe" is present.

But I still have gamedata.dbv1 file in the StalkerSoup root directory. 

So following the manual I deleted the .dbv1 file but in main StalkerSoup windows the version goes 1.1.0019.5.

Should I restart the game for the 5th Time

Hi PapyStalker.

According to the code in the xml file, the two prerequisites for Yakut's 'Ghost' dialogue are info portions

Spoiler:

If that doesn't work, there might be something else missing, but without knowing what you have completed in the game I don't know what that could be.

Or it might be as Sword suggests, that your game is using obsolete files.

Have you totally uninstalled your ModDB game, down to registry level, and reinstalled the game using valid base files from an official source?

Hi Sword2012,

As I already wrote, the game was already in 1.1.0019.5 so the files are Ok.

I don't go to kill "Le Havre" yet and don't check if the dialog with Yakut is ok now but I experiment another problem.

I Found the Playboy magazine for Ivantsov and give him. Then he asked me to deliver to Miser a RG-6 Grenade Launcher.

After the dialog, I check my inventory and the RG-6 is there. Then run to AW to give it to Miser but when I arrive at AW the RG-6 have disappeared. I check if I can go another way (Dump -> Dark Valley -> Army Warehouse but every time I change map the RG-6 disappears.

Any hints appreciated ...

Please see my post above Sword's for another possible Ghost fix.

Unfortunately the disappearing RG-6 seems to be a bug in this patch. Oddly enough, VOG grenades also go missing. The workaround for the RG-6 is to spawn one when you return to Army Warehouses.

If you pay attention in your inventory the RG isn't the only thing that dissapears...

Sorry if I wasn't clear, or if I've misunderstood, but if you used the 1.10012 base files from ModDB then your game WILL be faulty, even if you've managed to updated it to 1.10019.5

This is because the 1.10012 base files for the game were updated several years ago, but were NOT uploaded to ModDB which had become an obsolete platform for hosting the game

The reference base files are available only via Mega, torrent, or Aleks' Google Drive, as stated in the Installation Guide

Sword2012,

The game have first been installed using 1.1.0007 Setup
Then updated to :
- 1.1.0012
- 1.1.0019
- 1.1.0019.5

Is it faulty ?
- If Yes what version to install first ?

In any case will I need to restart a new game ?

Regards,

Still want to get information on the file tree to translate in French.

Hi PapyStalker

You'll need to start with the official 1.10012 base files from an approved source, as described in the Installation Guide

Then follow the step-by-step section of the Installation Guide to take you eventually to 1.10019.5

Yes, you'll need to start a new game, as your old saves will be incompatible and can cause further problems down the line, causing your game to crash for no apparent reason... 

I'll contact you privately re the translation

Hi all irradiated Stalkers,

Following Sword2012 topic I completely uninstall the game deep to registry level.
I downloaded the install files from the Mega link provided in the StalkerSoup installation Guide and process the game install & updates as explained.

I have a tip to make the installation faster : Due to the game that never use the HKey_Local_Machine registry tree to store data, it's not necessary to Restart the computer. If you want to be sure that the registry modification are applied you just need to Logout / Login.

I will follow the previous saved games to reproduce the same progression and when I will be arrived at Le Havre fight, I will let you know if this Yakut Dialogs fails again.

Again, thank you for your help. 

Best Regards,

Hi all,

Ok, Ok, all goes right till I reached Agroprom. Now, I fought the military but Mole does not have the dialog to continue the quest. He stay in the 2nd floor of the building where vitamin stand after the second fight with military.

So no dialog = no task

Any hints ?

Apparently this can happen if all of the defending loners are killed. Info portion agr_krot_go_to_well should free him, but he will not stop at the bottom of the stairs as he is supposed to. Instead he moves directly to the entrance to the underground, where you can talk to him.

Hi all,

Now, I'm near to enter Wild Territory.
But I want to signal some strange game experience.
1) Since the beginning of the new game, the Crosshair that normally turn red if ennemy or green for frends, the smart color does not work. More the NPC identification is missing that make difficult to know who is in front of me.
2) Most of the Anomaly are missing, for example the electro tunel in agroprom underground have no electric anomaly !
3) There is few monsters on the way. Especially the Pak of Dogs are missing in Cordon, Dump, Agroprom and Rostok

Hope this help to fine tune the game !

Regards,

Hi PapyStalker

This can happen occasionally in any game, whatever the version

Try going into the console (default ~) and typing ‘hud_info on’ then ENTER. This usually solves the problem

Alternatively, you can make the same change in your 'user.ltx' file in the _appdata_ folder, changing ‘hud_info off’ to ‘hud_info on’

Hi just curious, in the past as far as I know it was only by looking through the army binoculars or with certain firearm sights or on the minimap that green friend / red foe. Does this info now show if MO has the hud on in advanced options too, please? Regards TrueB

In my game I can acquire a target that I can't see - even at night, with no scope - by simply moving my weapon around until the cursor turns red...

I've done nothing special to achieve this, other than manually changing ‘hud_info off’ to ‘hud_info on’

I tend to knock the hud to off to avid the gasping for air and blood when shot. If the hud can be on without these side effects, I will put it on. I usually search the dumps in Garbage for a needed artifact to cook and eventually get a gun that does this. The simplest way to tell an enemy is to get shot at .
Kind Regards, TrueB

You can turn off the HUD in Advanced Options, and still get the coloured crosshair

Hi All,

I have to signal another trouble with the game.
I'm in Rostok and take the mlission to help Duty to "Repel the attack and kill Humpack".
Humpack is dead but the mission trigger doesn't work.

Info_Portion for this ?

Regards,
\Papy Stalker

Did you kill Humpback, or did someone else? In my experience Voronin only accepts the mission as complete if you kill Humpback yourself.

Hi All,

Humpback had been killed by Chimera.
So I will retry this Protect the Bar Mission !

Humpback is usually behind the truck on the road to Army Warehouses; a well-lobbed grenade will often kill him. There's a stash point on the other side of the wall by the Duty checkpoint. It is handy for somewhere to put all the guns etc from Hump and his men. Even now CTDs occur a lot on the Hump mission, so with each achievement a quicksave or Esc F8 save will help in my opinion. Regards TrueB

In my 0019.5 game he was waiting further back, in the open area near the Army Warehouses transition. He stayed there until I went looking for him - possibly a deliberate change to prevent him being killed by Duty? Anyway, he and a couple of his henchmen were indeed fighting a Chimera when I found him, so even back there he wasn't entirely safe!

It is always in my opinion worth removing any threat to a target because, for example, in the case of Hump, it seems the player is required to kill Hump. This has not always been so; it is possible for MO to agree to several hits, on the off-chance that the target might be removed via mutants or melees. Regards TrueB

Hi All,

Using the new 1.1.0019.5 StalkerSoup, I'd played a new game and I passed Le Havre Tread without any inconvenience.

I killed Le Havre, Talked with Yakut. It's working ...
