Help Please, Kopachi Quest bug.

[Source 2 Baguette]

I was doing the Kopachi quest with Uncle Yar, We killed all the Mercs, but then he started crouching like you tapping the crouch key over and over again, so I was unable to talk to him. I am Running the Misery mod with the 2nd Patch. Any suggestions???

[MasterWiky]

I have the same issue. Even inf you travel or wait some time it continue crouching, no matter if he changes his position.

[MasterWiky]

Actualy I killed 3 snorks in the swamp near the village but it continued crowching, but some time later I was at the cientific bunker and when aproaching, the dialog apeared suddenly (like; "wanna come with my to pripyat?") en then the game automatically crashes.

It hapened 3 times right now

Kinda makes you want to slap him huh?

[kaay]

He probably is spooked by a mob who knows where.
Go to the game folder, look for the alife.ltx file located in gamedata/configs folder.
Open it and you should have a line like this:
switch_distance = 550 ; 600 ; 850 metres
the first number is the actual switch distance used, default is 350 i think, change it to something small like 30 (just enough to be able to see Yar) and save the changes.
Start the game and now Yar should be calm.
Dont forget to change switch distance back to whatever it was, you can only do that when out of the game.

[MasterWiky]

But I killed the mobs and the "crasher" dialog starts from near the bunker of the cientifics or anywere near his switch distance (really big)

[warcatt00]

Then paste the crash log bro so any of us with a understanding of the system may be able to help you. Wether it is a default system thing or mod...

Actuly the error info from the log is what is needed, like this example below...


FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CInifile::r_section
[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp
[error]Line : 342
[error]Description : <no expression>
[error]Arguments : Can't open section 'wpn_pm'


This example shows that this crash was by this ltx file that I renamed to make this example crash. It can't find it, so it stopped and gave a reason why. This is the part that I or anyone else that understands the system would need to see.

If you only have this to show for...

stack trace:

Then its a memory dump.

This is at the very bottom of your crash log txt. Pending on your system, after a bug crash, you can get away with just pasteing in note pad off the back after. So if it just crash, now is the time to get it. Because it writes a new log everytime you start the game.

When it crashes, look at the bug trap, should say on the right a box says "Preview"

Click on that should show like 3 files in a box on top, find the one that says "log txt" or something like that. Usally is the second file in the list, click on that and scroll down to the "ERROR" report, it look like this...

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CInifile::r_section
[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp
[error]Line : 342
[error]Description : <no expression>
[error]Arguments : (why the crash)

Your getting close, I can see it is gonna be some kind of dialog issue. But I need the error report please..

[MasterWiky]

When I click on "Preview" X-Ray Engine crashes.

[warcatt00]

Then you need to pull up the crash log bro, and copy out the error section and paste it.

If you have XP it is in...

Shared Documents\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat\logs\xray_crash.log

[MasterWiky]

Something like that?:
FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : error handler is invoked!
[error]Function : handler_base
[error]File : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrCore\xrDebugNew.cpp
[error]Line : 764
[error]Description : pure virtual function call


I found it at C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stalker Call of Pripyat\_appdata_\logs\xray_masterwiky.log

(I have no xp on this)

[MasterWiky]

I went near Uncle yar during the "protect the cientist" quest, when you go to the anomaly near kopachy and you have to protect them for zombies and the game didn't crash. I killed like 20 zombies, finished the quest and now, uncle yar gets shooting the wall while crowched all the time. He doesn't stop and I can't talk with him.
