Fall-From-Grace joining bug

Remove all ads!

I have this weird problem with Fall-From-Grace. The first time I actually talk to her she asks me if I want her to travel with me again. I tried going back to a few saved games behind, even before I went to the Clerk Ward and it's still the same.
I have the 4 cd version, am using the patch, the fix pack, the restoration pack, the no fog patch, the armor mod and the no-cd patch (with a full install). I don't know if it might me one of these or a conflict between them that is causing the problem.
Anyways, if anyone knows a way around this, I would be very grateful.

Btw, I'm new to the forums, so hi everybody

 

She joined me instead and no longer likes you .

Unlike in the other IE games, there is no console in PST so there's no way to avoid this. I don't know what all Platter put into the fix pack, but I doubt that that is responsible for this.

I'd blame it on the no-CD crack, no fog hack (although I doubt this one).

 

I see. You're poking at me 'cause I'm new eh?
You won't get me

Actually the Cities Explored mod is by Platter, so I don't think it is to blame. But, I managed to fix my problem using Near Infinity. The GRACE variable was bizzarly set to 2, so I set it back to 0 and no more problem. The wierd thing is that in the earliest saved game I had kept, it was the same thing even if I had not yet entered the lower ward. Anyways, I'm happy Near Infinity exits, as I tried editing with a plain Hex editor and had some difficulty finding my way in all those numbers

 

Actually, it's an inside joke. Read my tagline .

Why would it be set to 2? Did you meanly throw her out of the party?

 

Yah, I got that about your tagline

Well the fact that the variable was set to 2 was the bug actually. Don't know why, I hadn't talked to her yet. And when I did, she asked me if I wanted her back in the party.
I guess 0 means never talked to her, 1 means in your party and 2 means left your party, or something like that.

 

I found the cause. Apparently Ash left a file in the Restoration Pack he was using to test some stuff, which he meant to take out before uploading the files. To anyone else using the Restoration Pack in the future, remove PCNAME.BCS from the files installed by it to prevent this. If you don't remove that file then pressing V on your keyboard while you have party AI on and the Nameless One selected will set Grace's variable to 2, causing the OP's problem. And pressing X may cause Vhailor to spawn next to you.

I told Ash and he said he'd take care of it.

So that was why Vhailor was spawning for no reason It was funny for a while, but I had to make sure never to touch that X key

Anyways, it's good to know, and good that it's being taken care of.

Thanks Platter

 

is this fixed in the current version? i downloaded it today, so do i need to remove this? and are there any other bugs like this one that need to be fixed by the user?

if it's not fixed, maybe you should consider including a note in the release. not everyone who plays the game reads this forum. i just came across this post by accident.

V***V

 

I am not the author of the Restoration Pack, so there is nothing I can do about it.

I told Ash about it over a month ago and he said he would fix it, but he hasn't yet. The Restoration Pack is an abandoned project.
