Ally fish hit by sleeping aura #16

Open mishrasumitranjan opened 4 weeks ago

mishrasumitranjan commented 4 weeks ago

During a mission where I had to rescue a baby whale, getting close to the rescued whale caused the whale to be hit with the sleeping aura, causing the whale to become non-interactable and blocking further progression. I think whale and dolphins need to be excluded from the list of fishes affected. Another workaround would be to have the effect wear off after some time. I don't think that currently happens.

Also, would it be possible to have a key combination to turn off the aura in-game? I think a option like that would have helped in this situation. The newer version does have a key combination. Did not realize. Thanks for that! P.S. - I know whale is not a fish.

Edit 1 - I think fishes that are woken up from sleep state once (because of being hit by harpoon or gun), do not get affected by the sleep aura anymore. Not sure if this is an issue or intentional. But since I couldn't hit the whale, these didn't work either. This also affects fish that have been put under sleep by other means. Once they wake up, the aura does not affect them anymore. You have to put them to sleep again using other means (tranquilizers).

Edit 2 - Fishes put under sleep while not using aura, do not get affected by Pick Large Fish option. Happened once. Haven't tested this extensively. Verified that this indeed happens. Trying to pick it up just shows that there are no drones (I haven't unlocked drones yet.)

Hey @mishrasumitranjan, can you do me a favor and attach your savegame to this issue, please? I realized I have no way of debugging this without being able to find this whale =) Thanks!

My apologies, but I already finished that quest. Turned off the aura and then rescued the whale. Still, I am attaching the saves in hopes that you may be able to get some data off of it. Also, the mission occurs after you have completed the sea people translator. Daves_Saves.zip

No problem, I appreciate all the info and should be able to get there myself. Thanks again!

Glad to be of help!

@devopsdinosaur Could you try this save? I restarted the game and got the whale mission on this one (hopefully). You can check the ToDo list. The mission is called "Finding the Baby Whale" I think.
