Elevator bug?

[soulvrak]

Hey y'all, I've been really digging the game so far but I got to a halt when I have to use the elevator after getting the main power back on. The thing is that when I try to push the button to call the elevator, the doors never open.
I already tried going to MedSci and pushing the button there but it's the same situation.

I've already been looking for a solution to this but the only thread I found here wasn't very helpful. Hope theres a fix or something related to this issue.

P.S. The game is installed in Program Files, I know it's not recommended but Steam doesn't allow me to choose another instalation directory since I don't have my hard drive partitioned.

are you still getting the main power offline message when you press the button? is the restore power at the core to fix elevators quest complete? if so, share a save (first save is the save_0 folder, zip it up, upload somewhere and post the link).

also, steam build, no mods?

The game is 20 years old, millions have played it multiple times without mentioning something like this ever happening. Otherwise, the forums would be still full with it?

Therefore, I sincerely doubt, it is a game 'bug'. Never happened to me, neither on Win XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 nor on my Linux boxes.

Make sure you completed the full quest or watch a YouTube walkthrough of that section, to figure out what was missing?

it may be the good old "object acquiring a random property" bug. that one can manifest in a myriad of different ways.

I'm using some mods, SCP beta 4 included. And no, the message used to appear until I got the two cores up and running. I even looked at the objective notes and the only thing that's unchecked is meeting with the woman at deck 4.

Here's my save file btw

save is fine, I was able to just use the big yellow button to get into the elevator, then just press the small one inside to get to other decks. what other mods are you running?

I'm also using a spanish translation patch (traduDLAN), Vaxquis Vintage Song Remake, SHTUP ND beta 1, and Vurt's SS2 Flora Overhaul. I also replaced some files with the newDark 2.44 patch.
I know, it's quite a cocktail

[ps47.3dfx]

ok, replacing the current files with those from ND 2.44 sounds like a VERY bad idea, especially if it's the exe.

anyway, lets try this, get the recycler mod[www.systemshock.org], activate it, go ingame, open the console by pressing

SHIFT ;

and type

summon_obj recycler

press enter, and a recycler should spawn. use it to consume the elevator door to get in.

[soulvrak]

Been trying the recycler for the last 30 minutes, it works on everything but doors sadly, and that includes the elevator door.

I guess I'll have to replay this in english then, since it was the only reason I used the ND patch.
Thanks anyway

Edit: just got the verify the game's cache, tried the same mods without replacing the files with that patch and the elevator is working now.

[ps47.3dfx]

the doors are a bit fiddly, but they definitely can be recycled.

anyway yeah, as I've said earlier, using the old patch files was a bad idea, and there shouldn't be any reason to do that, as anything made with/for ND 2.44 will work properly with the latest version as well (as always, SS2tool will make sure everything is up to date).

to make it short, don't mess with the game files manually.
