Request: NCR prison Bug Fix

[eatwk]

NCR prison when taking it back with the NCR (I fought the law quest) the radio says it failed even after clearing out all PG. It also says the prison was never taken at the end of the game in the slideshow. I dont know how possible it is to fix this bug, but if someone could look into it that would be awesome. I've posted this bug on the official bethesda forums, but have yet to get a response. I highly doubt it will be patched (its obsidian).

Bugs

 

■Even if you successfully complete the siege on the prison and get NCR back in control Mr. New Vegas will still say the siege failed on Radio New Vegas.

■Even after you complete the siege on the prison and kill Eddie, in the ending-story (after you've finished the game) it will still say that the facility was never retaken by the NCR.

■When assisting the NCR, the NCR troops will happily rush the administration building, ignoring the cell blocks and visitor center. In turn, the powder gangers in the cell blocks and the visitor center will not exit during the assault, requiring the player to manually clear them out. This may be the cause of the above two bugs, as not killing all of the gangers may make the game detect the assault as a failure. It may also be caused by having Sgt Lee die during the mission and not being able to report back to him.

■After helping retake the Correctional Facility it was suggested by Sgt Lee to go back to Primm to talk to Lieutenant Hayes, but Lt Hayes will not be in Primm. Hayes may be in a camp North of Nelson.

I'm working on modding in a fix. I've already found the glaring errors in Hayes' scripts...he has a line that basically says "if quest objective 36 is complete and quest objective 36 is incomplete, then quest objective 36 is incomplete" 36 is "eddie dead"...I'm assuming they just got copy-pasta-happy and forgot to fix it and that they meant it to be "if eddie dead, and lee alive, then (some other objective) is complete", so that is what I am going to change it to, and have the unknown final objective be a second quest that pops up named "...and the Law Won." that will boost your NCR reputation and shift ownership of the NCRCF from PG to NCR. (maybe repopulate the facility too, with NCR on the towers, junk blocking the holes in the fence, and a few convicts in the yard...)

 

I also removed the script that tells Hayes to wander off into the wasteland as soon as Eddie dies, so he'll be there for you to report to, and am working on a conversation tree node that will allow you to jump in on "I Fought the Law" from the NCR side.

 

My big problem right now is finding out how to get the radio and closing slideshow to recognize that you did reclaim the prison...but have no clue how to get that to work. If anyone knows where I can find the triggers for those, please comment or PM me, as that will save me time...otherwise, I'm off to scouring the forums and GECK.

 

I also noticed that no matter what you do, the quest "Can You Find it in Your Heart?" also reports failure on the radio, no matter the result.

 

When I get this thing finished...I *WILL* post it...unless someone beats me to it...

"if quest objective 36 is complete and quest objective 36 is incomplete, then quest objective 36 is incomplete" 36 is "eddie dead"

 

lmao thats some quality obsidian script right there. thanks so much for looking into this jedia, i cant play an ncr run through without this being fixed it just bothers me too much :(

since the audio assets weren't even there...I went with simply hiding the radio message, and pointing the endgame to the "NCRCF abandoned" segment. If anyone wants to volunteer their voice for an "interview" with an NCR soldier that was in the assault, I will put that in in place of the blank that is there now.

 

Still haven't gotten the quest to be triggerable from NCR side...working on it

also...no luck so far with shifting ownership...I know it can be done because there are two other locations that shift faction in the game, I just need to see how they did it.

(side note, how does anyone feel about me attaching a script that triggers on Eddies' death and removes everything in the NCRCF from the "stolen goods" category?)

so its not a bug it was actually cut from the game? im not understanding why the audio files wouldnt be there? did they really cut the ncr side of the quest and then leave the option to actually do the quest in the game? is the end game segment still there?

 

the stolen good thing is a good idea id like to see it. thanks for this though i hope you keep working on it :)

 

 

btw if you do need a voice over i might be able to do it for you. just send me the lines that need recorded and ill see what i can do.
