Linux #70: Zombie doesn't appear in quest tavern [SOLVED]

Accepted a quest to kill an undead in a remote tavern. I've waited inside more than 120 hours, but it never appears. The killall command showed no enemies.

Now working in later versions!

This relates to Quest System Bugs in Fighters Update thread. Specifically:
Cannot hot-place a resource to quest marker (i.e. use "place foe" in building while player is inside). Workaround is to exit and re-enter building for placement to run.
Quest script M0B30Y08 wants to place zombie in the target building when two conditions are met:
  1. When player is inside building (S.04 is true)
  2. When it is night-time (S.05 is not true)
At this time, Daggerfall Unity cannot hot-place marker-based resources like the zombie in this quest. Workaround is just to exit and re-enter the building when S.04 is green and S.05 is not.

I'll get this one fixed soon. :)

I've just added hot-placement code now. This should be fixed in next builds (72/72/69 or greater).

That was fast, haha. Great to hear. I'd received a quest earlier to destroy a scorpion within the guild itself; I expect it would have immediately spawned mere feet away from me if the fix was in place. And then I'd have had to change my pants :P

Can confirm! I just made that the only quest in my table and exploited hand-in bug until the Fighters Guild was selected for the target building.

Scorpion spawned right next to me (which is where the marker is in game data).

Pants were changed. :)
