win x64 0.7.91: getting very similar quests in a raw (JHTP001) [RESOLVED]

[pango]

This is something seen in a stream; Steen_machine_ is taking quests from The Order of Arkay in Shalgora, Shalgora. Each time he completed the quest, turned it in, and asked for the next one:

"Novice, regardless of your past accomplishments and your history, you are still a new member of this temple. You may build our trust in you by completing some of the more menial tasks we have laying about, after which we will entrust to you the greater works. Will you take some of our teachings to a potential convert in Reyham End?"

Jay_H comment on Discord:

The quest script there is really ubiquitous.

Person convert group Local_4.0

Place res remote house

It should choose any of the quest houses available in the region

He seems to be using lots of mods, including Handpainted models and Trees of Daggerfall, so that could be a variant of always the same loot pile bug? The "same loot" bug can also be seen in this stream.
Maybe UnityEngine.Random should be reseeded before generating a quest, just in case

[Interkarma]

Available quest pool is determined by rank. If player is still of a low rank in a specific guild, they will have a lower number of quests available, so a higher chance of getting the same quest in a row. Many of the HolyOrder quests are also not in a passing state (until Jay's classic fixes are merged), which again reduces the total available quests.

This doesn't look like a seeding issue to me, rather just a small pool of available quests to select from. I'll move this to help & support until the actual bug is clarified.

Jay, how many quests are available to novices in Arkay in your quest pack?

[Jay_H]

Novice is rank 0 in Arkay, so:

Rank 0: JHTP001, JHTP002, JHTP003, JHTP005.

However, I believe part of the question here is about Reyham End. The quests used the same city multiple times.

[Interkarma]

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I agree now this does look like a seeding issue when location is selected. I'll look into fixing this shortly.

[Interkarma]

I've added a new Random.InitState() call right before rolling for a quest. This will apply to the immediate quest selection as well as any subsequent Random.Range() usage while quest is compiled and resources allocated.

If you get a chance to test, please let me know if this resolves the problem in initial post. Cheers.
