Dialogue does not function during custom quest

[Moderator note: originally posted in Daggerfall Unity Quest Pack 1 topic]

Oh, mighty Quest-Giver! I have a little bug to report... It manifests because of a quest in this quest pack, but the problem might be lying somewhere else.

During a quest called "Plague Knight" I went to the incriminated city with a infested palace. However, if I am inside a building (a tavern or other) and try to talk to people "Tell me about the palace" the dialog functionality breaks, I am not able to ask anyone about anything, the interface itself becomes unresponsive. Quitting the dialog and starting it again does not solve it. Reloading a save does not solve it. The only thing I was able to do was to restart DFU.

Talking with people out-doors on "Tell me about the palace" works as intended... I guess... they don't like me so they wont tell me anything useful, but the dialog interface works.

I put my save in the attachment.

Indeed, the problem lies further in the quest system. I'm running your save file on 0.13.1 with no mods, and get the same broken functionality. I see this in the player log:

Code: Select all

InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

I'll break this off and move it to the Help subforum, since the game engine is having problems here

Thanks Jay. Same issue as below (notes in my edit).

It's an easy fix, I just want to check a few things first. I'll add it to release that will be 0.13.4.

[ifkopifko]

Yeah, that's the same issue, didn't see that topic, sorry about that... Maybe that's because I was lost in DFU for a day or two... A very good experience indeed, the dungeon mazes still have most of their magic.
