Guest Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Ok running the new version and have a problem with Erani. When I get the letter to go see the master because she has a gift for me everything goes fine until stage 420. At that point if you do anything but wait for the dialoge menu to close on it's own, which takes about 30 seconds real time, it breaks the quest. Then when you transport to the residence to get Erani before the Masters dialogue starts Erani walks by you and out the door never to return. To fix it I had to use the console to disable Erani's AI until After the Master called for her to come down. Then I re-enabled her AI and the rest played out ok. I came here looking for problems related to this last quest, Which I have in my "quests" log. I never got a letter, it just showed up (the quest notification) So OK, I'm back, (from Elisif) all speeches done, even finished a few minor errands (delivery+ retrieval). I'm on the never-ending "Um, nevermind" thing, because the question about the next biggie quest just isn't there. So I went out to the highways and byways looking for a courier, he's keeping a very low profile. Erani disappeared on me pre-patch, and I thought I'd done something wrong, so thanks for the hint. Now all I gotta do is setstage something to actually start the quest, but I'll wait and see if the courier drops off another letter. Edit: After Elisif-quest, sorry. So let's see, after Falkreath/elenwen/Elisif, (Quest #4). Edit2: I wonder if quest #4 (Ulfric) is dependent upon my standing, which is only "good"? It should'a been "excellent" by now, I think. I'm going to restart.
Asrienda Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Speaking of the Thalmor quest, I'd like a little more character interaction. I know you're supposed to be a prisoner, but there were long stretches of time where all I did was press the spacebar to advance sexlab animations.
r5e4w3q2 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 With the 3.2 patch I am still getting the Jarl is Brunwulf so here is the talk to Ulfric quest problem. I loaded a save from before receiving the quest, travel to CD shop, Ask about the job, I get a message that Jarl is Brunwulf in the upper left, then she give me the quest to talk to Ulfric. Consoling past stuff because I can't talk to dead people, I get the same problem that Oldwolf58 is mentioning, that auto-zoning to the VIP house takes a long time and then she just walks past us never to be seen again.
r5e4w3q2 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Log file from getting the note to come back, through zoning into the VIP house and waiting till I got bored. Wow there are a lot of errors in there, not all of them Captured Dreams related, but quite a few of them. So, what did I break?
flim Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I no complain. just asking advise. so far so good. only ctd once during quest 2 ended before character return to master during elenwen sex scene. i just wanna ask advise any fast way to complete quest 3? sorry if someone had ask already. deliver item to jarl of solutide but she said no. quest said come back few hour. few hour later, she still said she wanna think again. another few hour, she still said she wanna think again. so i do other quest then come back blue plaace. she still said she wanna think again. So I wanna ask, any fast way to change her mind? i want complete quest b4 i go holiday this sat, so can't touch pc game for some time.
Volutari Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I had a Tavish visit to do on the 15th, which I've read was a day bugging out before. I missed it because of a certain holiday at camp thalmor- does it roll around to the next 15th or is that quest marker bugged now?
magicrealm Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Vela, did you spend any thought on the fact that Lydia get invisible ? i played without CD now another 20 hours without this or any problem. so it is definitely caused by CD. i am used to get ignored and i am used to wait a long time until other people finally come to the same problem and the author finally does something. how many game hours are ruined meantime ?

I am unsure if I already said this to you, but I think you should validate your master files. You keep experiencing problems that others do not. It is quite possible that your files are broken. Just in case you don't know how to do this - or others wish to copy this for future use - here are the instructions for clean validation. - Exit Steam - Go to Steam folder and remove the folder named appcache - Close your computer. Let it cool off a bit. - Start your computer. - Start Steam and let it load, while inspecting your game files for new appcache folder. - From Steam client Library view, right click your game - Select Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache... - Once done, let the game detect hardware manage Skyrim.ini trough the default launcher. You can close it and launch the game trough SKSE launcher after that. Additional Step: If you are experiencing a lot of glitches and crashes, do this before shutting down your computer. - Go to Documents > My Games > Skyrim - Remove configuration files Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini. - Note: Extensions might not be visible, depending on your Windows settings. - Note: Do not yet delete these files. They might be needes, if Steam creates an error. Skyrim will create new files during configuration sequences. You can safely delete old files after both configuration files are created. This usually requires that you succesfully launch the game once. 1 file will always fail to validate. It is related to how Steam detects your graphic card configurations and does not have effect to your game. If you have cleaned your master files with TES5Edit, then you will have to repeat the process. Steam will consider those files unintact and replace them during validation process.
Veladarius Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 Just completed Thalmor. It is a long one. Incredibly ambitious, I'd heard it was a long one but given that the previous Master task was 5 minutes including travel time I was expecting maybe 20 minutes. Consider me caught by surprise. Astounded in the good way. If I'd ever had a overarching criticism of your work and mod Vel, something I would change, it was that your scene transitions and punishment length etc all seemed a bit too fast forward and hurried. Especially for veterans of Prison Overhaul. Now I've seen fresh hights of your ambition your pacing style is exonerated- without that narrative style, actual bound marching back and forth, chilling in cages and so on the thalmor task would have been several nights to play though. Now I have hind sight of what you were working your way up to I understand it completely. And looking at Captured Dreams Fortress (just unlocked) something implies you will not be satisfied with days of captivity. Your methods seem optimised for weeks and months. So well done and many thanks for your work. Its quality and its speed. A quickie (and amateur) technical report on my findings- I had to give it 2 runs to see completion through ( more on that later). But on the whole anything that was a little wonky in one play through was aligned in the other. Just a case of general polish I guess, or getting lucky with with Skyrims native lunacies. First play through every transition walk was flawless. 2nd NPCs kept playing "corridor chicken" Especially Miss Z on the way to the solar. First play through a lot of furniture usage was wonky. 2nd they were perfect. So yes scope of course for tightening or polish, or just not rolling snake eyes for "Skyrims native lunacies" But given the about of variables you had going on at anyone time possibly the best work I've even seen. I didn't think it would work once the length was becoming apparent. Failure seemed certain just because of the flawed medium (skyrim itself) or the fact its an early build. But no, screw all that working your way up to actually working. Your early releases are good and solid and more likley to work than not. Well done. A couple of points persisted across both runs- 1) The giant rug made of small rugs in the centre of the guard room/scene They all overlap into each other and there's correspondingly a lot of flicker. 2) I won't name name's lest I spoil plus I can't spell skyrim names for the life of me. But Crazy Lady Who Becomes your Cell Nighbour- She experienced a lot of the usual static bonds trouble. Never aligned even close to approximate. I don't know if I got unlucky and most report they see her clearly. But given the arduous nature of static bounds might the various hanging chains animations hold her a bit more correctly in the interim? 3) I can't tell if bonds are binding you in the cell, and they fuse apart to allow you to eat. Or if your just free to move around there. A minor thing given when the task is taken in its entirety. But perhaps steps can be taken in the future to make it clear. Click boxes saying if your free, or the collar feels warm and-suddenly bondage - leaving you to sleep as best you can/wait as best you can" That's all I can think of re constructive criticism. I can only hope I bore in mind the early nature of the work enough, and walked the fine line between genuinely helpful and sucking up to much. Apologies if not. Re running twice. I experienced a few CTD's on initiation of sex lab scenes. Mostly likely I had an animation unchecked that the scenes really wanted to use. For the most part it seemed happy to utilise my usual settings favouring the Bound Zaz options. But to ensure a clear run I checked all and ended up with a good amount that didn't seem to fit. The guards were all over each other for instance. Can some kind-hearted sexlab guru tell me what animations its wanting to use, or what category or something? I evidently confused the thing by not having any 3somes selected first time round. -Probably the biggest reason that I use the fade in/out between locations is the pathfinding for Skyrim is horrible but I have made some changes on my end to help it where I can. I have gotten a better understanding on the fade in/out as well and ended up making several of different lengths so they look better though sometimes an npc gets stuck and screws it up. -I have switched out the pelts int the embassy for a rug in the new version -The alignment issues is with the furniture itself and there isn't anything I can do about it. It seems the process for moving the player into them changed somewhat and they are working to fix it. -While you are in the cell you are free to move. The biggest reason for this is so the player has a moment where there are no scripts or scenes running so they can make a good save. -The crashes at the start of sex scenes is from SexLab, I remove all my control from the player just before starting the sex scenes. I still have the crashing but typically on crash once per play through though initially when I made them it was far more often. I think I ran through the first scene with Elenwen about 20 times before getting things more stable, the logs all showed the exact same command from SexLab as the last line. -The guards not having threesomes is odd since they are called for, the likely issue is one of them wandered too far even though their AI packages are supposed to keep them in 1 spot. Ok running the new version and have a problem with Erani. When I get the letter to go see the master because she has a gift for me everything goes fine until stage 420.

I'm going to restart. The 3rd and 4th quests don't use a courier to start them, the Master tells toy about them at the end of the previous task. If Ulfric is missing for the 4th quest have you been to Helgen and started the main quest? LAL will hold him until it is completed.

Increase your speechcraft or do some of the quests and raise your relationship rank with her. The latest release also lowers the speechcraft target to get her to agree. I had a Tavish visit to do on the 15th, which I've read was a day bugging out before. I missed it because of a certain holiday at camp thalmor- does it roll around to the next 15th or is that quest marker bugged now? I think the Master may consider you late. I will put in a transition between them so the date will be reset. Vela, did you spend any thought on the fact that Lydia get invisible ? i played without CD now another 20 hours without this or any problem. so it is definitely caused by CD. i am used to get ignored and i am used to wait a long time until other people finally come to the same problem and the author finally does something. how many game hours are ruined meantime ?

I have not had any issues with Lydia (or other followers) becoming invisible, other than using an alias to control them I don't do anything to them. There were some issues with releasing them but that should be cleared up in the latest version. If you can't find her the places I have it set to keep her are either in the shop itself or the basement and uses the same schedule as the other slaves on display.
Volutari Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Snip -Probably the biggest reason that I use the fade in/out between locations is the pathfinding for Skyrim is horrible but I have made some changes on my end to help it where I can.

I guess I was assuming too much in your motivations there. But via whatever means you have made a methodology that suits longer times shut away. I can't be alone in hoping you capitalise upon it. - Ah, you spotted it ahead of me, guess I should have kept my mouth shut, it screamed "Stand in" now I think about it. - I hope someone over at Zaz has a eruka moment then. The pillory in Prison overhaul got better and better, Hell it used to bounce like a rubber ball with ever whip impact so the problem is in the hands of the right people. -Ah, free to move, shame, but it sounds as if its for the best of reasons! -Aha, native to sexlab then, thats well its not the best news, but it does mean I can stop fiddling with the settings waiting for a magic configuration. I'll let it be. - Oh they did have threesomes, just possibly not the right ones. It looked like slave night was there weekly excuse to get all over each other because they can't be up front about there feelings. Narritivly something a bit more "Grrr" and "Both ends" would be a better, or less funny fit. Its on me though, not your work Vel, I never was a positions geek, I'm just going to have to through and find out what is what and tick off mostly aggressive types in animations. Thanks for you incredibly swift response. And the mods itself of course. I'll keep chipping away and see what breaks or blows my mind. Oh one thing did- all these poor sods asking how to get there follower back and I'm left asking how to keep her locked up. Janessa got away somehow. I'm presuming Amazing Follower Tweaks, but I can't be alone in using that, there worse than infants in there default state. But yeah 2 days after quest and having her taken away she joined me in solitude retaining the "I don't want to get into trouble" dialogue. I'll probably jump back a few saves and see if its repeatable.
webb71 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 After updating to the latest patch, I don't get a quest marker for the delivery quest. Talking to the intended delivery recipient doesn't work either.
badbat111 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 im going to test it again in a bit last night before bed i tryed it got to the double fuck when the gaurds wash you down and instead of sex i got a c++ runtime error thing happen that happened with the 3.2 version i didnt try the 3.1
Veladarius Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 After updating to the latest patch, I don't get a quest marker for the delivery quest. Talking to the intended delivery recipient doesn't work either. The only thing that changed in that quest was the guards ai, you likely dropped out of the dialogue before the quest destination was set. im going to test it again in a bit last night before bed i tryed it got to the double fuck when the gaurds wash you down and instead of sex i got a c++ runtime error thing happen that happened with the 3.2 version i didnt try the 3.1 That is from SexLab.
Guest LoganX Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hey, even after update I still can't make the quest with Erika. After the orcish woman took after her, I got a letter about something that the master has for me. When i go to shop to see a master (i must say that i don't have question mark here, I just go there because she is usually there) and say about what she has for me she simply answer: I have something for you. And after that nothing hapens, I stay where i stood, she as well, quest doesn't update, simply nothing changes.
stroganof Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hiho, does someone know where i find the dunmer slave girl i freed near windhelm? I came back and Master told me i was responsible for her, got the book, but the girl wanderd off and i can't find her. I also want to leave a thank you for Vel, great mod so far. cheers
kronnos44 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 after dezra takes care off the slave i don't know what to do , shes just gonne, and i've talked to everyone, nothing happens
Jayleia Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 after dezra takes care off the slave i don't know what to do , shes just gonne, and i've talked to everyone, nothing happens Wait for a Courier.
Veladarius Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 If you are having issues once De'Zra takes the slave, check the stage of CDxExpQuest04. If it is at 340 then the scene where she is led off did not properly finish, setting the stage to 350 will complete it. If it is 350 and you have not received a letter within 3 days (should be about 2) then set the stage to 400 to trigger the letter.
MilkSpray Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 When i ask about jobs she says here is what i have then i only get never mind (ive done the first delivery and retrieve quests)
Teddar Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 When i ask about jobs she says here is what i have then i only get never mind (ive done the first delivery and retrieve quests) Try waiting a while. I had that so I fast travelled somewhere and waited a few hours. Then the quests popped up again.
Guest LoganX Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 OK, I somehow manage to continue this quest, but there is another problem ;D Master told me that Erani is now my slave, and gave me a ring and a book, but after that ther is no new quest and Erani is gone. I can't find her anywhere. What should I do?

I can't find her anywhere. What should I do? Use the console to move her back to you - CDxSlaveErani Also, check the status of her controlling quest - sqv CDxDiaErani if her alias is not filled set the stage to 100 which will reset the quest then 10. You can set her to follow you by this: set cdxEraniMode to 1 I will work on building some commands for her into the MCM menu.
zouzou Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Thax Vela, everything work fine for me since the update.
Veladarius Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 If anyone can't find their follower, check the basement of the shop. I found Lydia stuck in side the cell a little while ago.
