So that's why these quests kept saying there was remaining enemies after killing the last one!

You are my hero!!!!!!!!! It works!!!!!!!!!
(This bug happened in my colony building where a tenant would like me to protect one of his neighbors. If I track this mission, the arrow will always point at the quest giver. And the quest couldn't be completed even if i killed all the enemies. And so i just abandoned it, but he gave me the same quest again the next time!! so I've been stuck at it for long. Thanks again for the fix!)

Is it still relevant ?

@Davoker: You're thinking of a different quest, in the one with the bug the hostiles will come after someone who is already living in your planet, and is given by guards; meanwhile, the one you are thinking of spawns a new NPC for you to find each time, and can be given by (almost) any kind of NPC.

What exactly is the bug? I never had problems with this kind of quests, I killed the enemies and then I just had to go to the NPC who gave me the quest to complete it, the only real problem is that the NPC you save can still be killed by monsters on the way to the NPC who gave you the quest.

Ideally, when you complete the mission by killing the enemies, the NPC you save goes directly next to the NPC who gave you the mission, but this is not what happens, if after killing the enemies you teleport, the saved NPC stays in the area where you left him, lost, you have to take him with you, make him follow you.

Thank you so much for this, I was growing annoyed and concerned when my tennets kept having this buggy mission

@Kronolos: No, this doesn't touch the glitch mission in any way.

Since the bounty hunter update dating back in 2019? No. And vanilla-wise the game is completely stable with the exception of performance issues (fixed by Futara Engine) and this very problem fixed with this very mod.

Is this game even still being updated?

Thanks, i try to check it
DarkRain  [author] 8 May, 2021 @ 5:58pm 
@Sleigh Beggy there's an error in the quest's script: when you kill the hostile NPCs the game will hit a lua error and the quest becomes imposible to complete, you'll need to either abandon the quest or use admin commands to "complete" it.

I don't understand, what is was broken in this type of quests after last update?
Just marker in the active-quest bar or what?..

@Vlascort13 Renaming the file shouldn't cause any problems for the mod itself, but I'm not sure if steam will complain about it.
Vlascort13 4 May, 2021 @ 11:16pm 
If I was to rename the "drx_fix_npc_protect_quest.pak" to "contents.pak" will it cause a issue? The reason that I'm asking that is because I use PenGUIn to make my server and I use SWEL to link my mod from the workshop folder to my mod folder. But for some reason it doesn't work if the name of the .pak is not name "contents.pak". So I was just wondering if it will cause a problem for the mod to not work properly if I was to change it.

The only glaring issue about the game so far, now in Steam Workshop. I was going to ask whether i have to put this very very essential mod to Steam, but you've done it. Great work.

I'd been wondering what was wrong with some of my quests, I'd been assuming it was a mod compatibility problem.

Glad it's not.

Hmmmmm I don't remember my game ever crashing to this, most of the time it doesn't even show the error on screen, it just fails silently and the quest becomes impossible to complete.

OOHHH So thats why my game kept crashing.
