Custome Quest refuses Start

[colbycolbear]

So,I've been working on this Mod for a while, I'm now at the point where it's done and I want to test it, but It simply doesn't want to start.

 

It's a quest that I want to happen right after completing the BOS Quest Blind Betrayal, And despite the fact I have the coding in there to start (and when I was doing some initial testing, it worked), Now it simply won't.

 

Not even console commands can get this game to start. StartQuest, SetStage, ResetQuest, none of them work.

 

Putting in the SQV I get this

---Papyrus---

I'm new to Moding so I'm not sure what All of it means, So I appreciate any help you can give.

Show us the pics of your quest. EVERY Tab: Quest Tab, Stage Tab, Aliases Tab (With the settings of every alias reference too), - everything! And every dialogue in detail (Scenes tab). If you have a Script attached to quest iun the last window (Script Tab), which you should have actually, I need to see its code as well. Edited May 12, 2018 by werr92

10:1 you are trying to run the quest mod in a savegame that you have already tried to run the quest mod in.

 

If so, you need to use a savegame that never seen your quest mod and DONT SAVE over that once you have loaded the mod.

I'm hoping to avoid restarting my save, because that last save was a solid 10 hours before hand. And I already had to do that once prior.

 

As for the mod itself, I can't seem to put it all the screenshots in one post, so I'll have to make several

 

Here is the Code In the Quest stages Tab to lessen the amount I need to do

I'll wait for later to turn in the Dialogue.

I'm hoping to avoid restarting my save, because that last save was a solid 10 hours before hand. And I already had to do that once prior.

 

When creating a mod, always test on an old save or a new save, and do not save. Saving bakes a lot of script related things(and OnInits will not re-fire unless the quest is stopped and restarted, etc). And never test on a serious save(main character/file) unless you make a copy of that save.

 

The only thing I see that might be part of the problem is this Stage 0.

 

But to rule out the common case of aliases being the problem, you can set them all to optional, thus the quest will start because it doesn't have to care about aliases, it'll also reveal if any(or all) did not fill.

It was the aliases. As soon as I set them all to optional, I could start the quest.

 

Thanks for the advice.

[werr92]

Sorry for late response. Set your aliases to be Allow Reserved as well. Because it seems you use vanilla npcs, it is good thing to mark them this way.
