Starting a previously reset quest?

[foo757]

Quick question, what would the console command to begin a quest that was previously reset through the console? I reset "Tactical Thinking" (Quest ID BoS302B) using the console due to issues with the Railroad, and I can not figure out how to start the quest again. I used the sqo command to look at the quest stages, and all are listed as "Dormant". The setstage command does not solve the problem. Any advise would be appreciated.

Same problem here. Any solutions are very welcome!

You'll have to find the Quest ID again - which it looks like you have - but the command is literally ResetQuest.

There's also "CompleteQuest" as well.

Resetquest sets all stages to "dormant" while in the questlog no changes to the objectives are visible. What we want to do is to get the quest to restart eg. we have to talk to cpt kells again and can ignore that so we wont be hostile with the railroad.
Furthermore using setstage ID 10 (first queststage: Talk to Cpt Kells) doesnt do anything at all in this case.

setstage, resetquest, even completequest, all of no use for this one instance. Even after using completequest bos302b, then using sqo bos302b, it shows all as dormant.

Might have something to do with the minute men quest "defend the castle" (id= MinDefendCastle) but not sure.

I'm having a similar issue, but with Mass Fusion instead. I had reset it because I couldn't complete Liberty Reprimed, but now it isn't in my log and I have no way of starting the quest again.
I've been tinkering with the setstage command for hours. I also found a "Startquest" command that does absolutely nothing. I've scoured the internet and found absolutely nothing on how to fix this

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I am also having this issue with Mollecular Level. I reset the quest and it vanished from my quest list.

I have tried the following:
1: setstage of all types
2: startquest
3: completequest (actually completes it, but doesn't advanced me to the next quest)
4: completequest into reset quest into completequest. completes the quest both times.
5: reseting quests prior and trying to talk to the people who gave them to me

I can't progress. Anyone had any success with dealing with this?

I assume that you probably have to set certain NPCs to certrain states as well as the faction system. Maybe thats why setting the quest stages on its own wont help. Or certain quest stages can only be set active / completed by certain NPCs, eg. bos302 10 (talk to kells) will only be activated by the BOS Boss NPC.

Bump. This is what i found in other thread "Turns out the reason why setstage doesn't work after resetting the quest is because "Tactical Thinking" is flagged to only run once in the game files"

Bummer. Thanks for the update.

I am at the same quest, and I want to restart to do the Railroad quests, but I have a problem. When I type in "resetquest BoS302B" nothing seems to happen, the quest is still on the Pip-Boy, and when I go to the Railroad church, inside, the battle starts up just like normal...
Am I writing in the wrong command or something? Or what is the point of doing "resetquest" if I cant go back to the railroad??? Any help appreciated.

As Some said, the issue is that Tactical Thinking is flagged to run only once. So here is a guide on how to make a mod to change that.

This is a guide for those people that can't load a previous save. This may seem intimidating, but it's actually relatively easy. Feel free to pm me if you want me to walk you through it.
1. Google Fo4Edit, download and extract.
2. Rename TES5Edit to Fo4Edit. Open the Fo4edit app now.
3. Find Quest, then find 107a1c.
4. Right click on 107a1c, and then click "Copy as Override to". Say yes to the warning.
5. Select new file, name it to whatever you want. Hit yes to continue.
6. Right hand side should be highlighted a light green with two columns, one for the original game files and one for the mod that you are creating. Find DNAM-General, there should be a flag for Run Once. For the mod that you named, right click and hit edit. Uncheck Run Once. Hit OK.
7. Ctrl+s to save it. Make sure the box is checked and hit Ok.
8. Make sure that at the bottom of messages page that you are brought to, the bottom confirms that it has saved.
9. ESP file should be generated. I personally used Nexusmods and enabled my mod there.
10. Done. Resetquest, and setstage 10 and the quest should be good to go.

I've only tested this for Tactical thinking. Other quests may have different flags set up, so this fix may not work.

Thanks shinkiro, but I am stuck at part 3.. :P
Where exactly do I find Quest? Have checked both Fallout 4 folders, in "my games" and the "steam" folder... Also opened Fo4Edit, after renaming it from TES5Edit, to check inside there, but couldn't find it.

UPDATE: Found it! Opened Fo4Edit after renaming it, and it was under the tab "Fallout4.esm"
I think I didn't look hard enough :P
