    • String reverts to old missions


      I'm wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this and knows how to solve it...

      I'm making a plug in Nova to continue the Bounty Hunter string past the Rebels. Basically, when Jack Folstam gets shot you can choose to join the Rebels as per the game or reject the mission and help Jack. I've had to work out some kinks along the way of course but I had everything going fine. But now everytime I get past just that first mďsn where it forks, immediately after the dialogue it tries to start the previous mďsn where you have to go to Rebel II to get some information. I've narrowed it down to my plugin. The game still works fine without it.

      I've tried using ncb's starting at 8445... 91... and now 4000... As far as I can tell it worked fine when I used 8445. So why not just use that again you ask? I don't know I'm stubborn. And I don't know if that'll fix it. If b91... and b4000... aren't even used let alone used by mďsn 279 (or is it 278), why would it change it so drastically.

      Here's the bits I'm using to change mďsn 280 (I think... I'm not looking at it now):

      AvailBits: (b8 & !b424) & !(b61 | b125) & !b4000 (same as 280 but added !b125 to fix Bounty Hunter to Rebel bug and introduced b4000 for my plug)
      OnAccept: !b4000
      OnRefuse: b4000 b125 S919
      OnSuccess: b125 S743 (? whatever the merrrol dockmaster mďsn is)

      The rest I think is the same.

      So before it jumped right into mďsn 919 when you left the bar (silent mission) like it should. But now that old mission is getting in the way and negating 919. I was under the impression that if ncb's led you to a point you could in essence replace those bits with a new one that was only accessable via the previous bits. So I'm trying to replace the b0-8 string with my new b4000 and this seems to be the problem. As if it forgets that b8 was already set and jumps back to b7 and therefore throwing out my new b4000.

      I hope this all makes sense. If anyone needs any clarification please ask. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Should this work as I have it so that means my plug is corrupted and I need to scap it, or can I still remedy it?
