So my mod for whatever reason, is getting a "true" back when it asks DHLP if an event is going on.

Thanks for the input! ♥️ And afaik when we last talked about this, the check was implemented by checking for DHLP global values.

 

@Polyleritae Please try the following: in the DHLP config menu, hit "Send dhlp-Resume Event". If that doesn't clear this use the "Reset Running Scenes" below it.

Np at all ♥️ Just for reference, here's the function from my mod for the exact two values it's looking for.  

 

bool function isDHLP_ReduxEventRunning() global
    if(isDHLPInstalled())
        WD_Util dhplUtil = Quest.GetQuest( "WD_Main" ) as WD_Util
        return dhplUtil.WD_SceneRunning.GetValueInt() == 1 || dhplUtil.WD_CreatureSceneRunning.GetValueInt() == 1
    endif
    return false
endfunction

Thank you both for your input! I've tried the two suggestions above -- unfortunately PC still shows as plugged. I tried to save and load, thinking a reboot of sorts might jostle it, but to no avail.

Could you fetch the log with the DHLP and Curse of Life logging enabled?

 

Also, does this happen if you start a new game too?

There maybe be a conflict with Deviously Cursed Loot. I tested it repeatedly to be sure although I did get it to work once. When the Devious Helpless MCM menu item shows up my game crashes. When the Devious Helpless MCM doesn’t appear Cursed Loot doesn’t trigger. You may want to check just to be sure.

Crash logger attached. I don't know how to read it though.

I haven't the faintest idea what this might be 😕

Logs say the crash happens when DCL tries to initialize its config menu. No idea either what the problem is there, might be SkyUI or might be not~

 

Have you checked if the problem still occurs if DHLP is not installed but DCL is, and vice versa?

I released an update to Curse of Life that allows you to turn off the plugged status.  I doesn't exactly fix WHY yours got stuck (I honestly have no idea how it is happening, but you're not alone on the issue), but it should at least allow you to get the status cleared.  Let me know if that worked for you, thanks!

Hi Taki17

Yes, I checked with other mods individually as well. DCL does occasionally crash my game even without DHLP installed, but only with DHLP, DCL does not trigger at all, with all my other mods, DCL triggers. Odd really. The mod is a great idea though, so I might persist and see if i can figure this one out. Cheers.
