Veteran of vienna achievement

[ninaka]

I have a problem getting the veteran of vienna achievement. I'm at 60/61 and do not seem to be able to get the final task. I have playd a few in-game years after I got the last task in all vienna campaigns, but I still havent gotten the last one, and I don't know which city I'm missing in. Anyone know what to do?

I'm having the same problem, I have 60/61 in Vienna and 34/35(36) in Amsterdam
I was searching, did not appear to me "Clear The Green!" or "Missing Mister!" in Amsterdam and "Shepherd's Visit" in Vienna, but did not find what it takes to make them show up

I managed to accomplish both achievements, to help everyone to have the same problem, see below:

"Clear The Green!" Problem solved

The problem. There are no Golf Course on Scenario 2. map, Amsterdam, but the Task 6 searches it, but it won't find it, so the task won't trigger.

But I made a workaround for it, even you use Steam. If you don't, and you have the metro folder already, you can skip steps 1-4, 6 and 8.

0. If you have mods installed in the program's folder, make a backup of the metro folder.
1. Download the GS File Viewer made by eis_os (I guess).
2. Open and extract the metro.gs to the program folder.
3. Rename the metro.gs to metro.gs_ so the program will use metro folder instead of the .gs.
4. Find and open in a text editor the metro\scenarios\scenario02.scenario file.
5. Go to the line 338 and change the text for this (without the quotes of course, but with the space char): " $a = MAIN.$grid.findItem("$airport");". This will change the non-existing Golf course to the existing Small airport terminal.
6. The backup of the mods should be now insterted into the metro folder.
7. Start a new scnenario "The relic of the golden age" and wait for 10. jan. 1958. and it will pop up, and if you made the task 2, it will be soon completed. (as you can see in my Steam Achievemens list)
8. After all this, you can delete the original metro folder, and restore the mods again, and restore the metro.gs_ to metro.gs

"Shepherd's Visit" Problem solved

"Shepherd's Visit" happens exactly on the date 13/01/2008, I saved the game on 01/01/2008 and repeat several times until the task appears.

Actually its easier if you follow the instructions in the post after from that link in the above post 2 (by TioBalvedi)

Actually, you don't need all of the metro folder, and you don't need to change the name of metro.gs.
Just extract the scenario02.scenario file, change it as you said in step #5, and put it in the correct path (metro\scenarios\scenario02.scenario).
You don't need the rest of the metro folder, and you don't need to remove any other mods.

Then open up that file (scenario02.scenario) and search for "golf" replace with airport.

And do something similar for Missing Mister.
Extract scenario 8 from the metro.gs file. To the same location.
Open it up in wordpad and search for "s08_task20".
It will show you a couple of entries.
You want the 2nd one ->
"if ($date == mkdate(4,7,2003)) MAIN.$scenario.addThread(this, "start_s08_task20");"

Change it to this
if ($date == mkdate(1,2,2000)) MAIN.$scenario.addThread(this, "start_s08_task20");

Then load scenario 8 up and pause. Build a short Boat line and then fwd a month to Feb 1, and it should trigger. You can take it from their.

Seriously though.... how can something like this have been overlooked and most importantly not fixed in a patch.... shocking!!

Just so you know about the :

"Shepherd's Visit" in Vienna - Scenario 6

Do the same steps as above mentioned and select the scenario 6, inside the file go to the line 385, it says:

if ($a == null || $b == null || $c == null) return;

Just replace it for this:

//if ($a == null || $b == null || $c == null) return;

And start the game, this won't work if u are already doing missions in the map.

If you need some help let me know
