Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Tuesday, May 17 2005 13:12 Profile #0 In the main army camp, in the locked room full of contraband in the NE corner, there is a blue shaper box containing junk that seems useless. If you open it all you get is a text box that tells you that. Is there a quest involving that box? If so, how do you get it? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

But speakin gof boxes, what is inside that box in the secret tunnel behind the Generals room, the one that you can only open with extremly high Mech, and if you don't have that high a trap activates and doe slike 2000+ magic damage to you. -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, May 18 2005 07:15 Profile #3 Checking the scripts shows that it is possible to find a 'woven crystal spool' that will be 'useful to somebody' in that box (the one in the Main Army Camp contraband vault). This appears as a special item, not an inventory item. To get this message and item you need to have flag (50,10) set to 1. You can do that with the cheat code "sdf 50 10 1". But I haven't been able to find anything in any of the scripts (using grep) that sets that flag, or even anything else in the game that mentions that flag at all. This would seem to be a bug.

blackjack Warrior Member # 3327	written Wednesday, May 18 2005 08:29 Profile #4 Oops - confused this with the other box that required ridiculously high mechanics to open. The "crystal spool" is used in a quest. Posts: 77 \| Registered: Sunday, August 10 2003 07:00
Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, May 18 2005 08:54 Profile #5 Okay, so perhaps you can actually answer my question: what quest? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 \| Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00

I think that box might contain a book wanted by the libarian in Donals(sp?) Keep. -------------------- Death is just an engineering problem. Posts: 19 \| Registered: Friday, April 29 2005 07:00
Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Sunday, May 22 2005 04:39 Profile #7 No, that book is in a jar outside the contraband vault. The contents of the box are as I described in my first post. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 \| Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00
Claymore Apprentice Member # 5652	written Sunday, May 22 2005 09:45 Profile #8 So what is the point then with either? If the woven crystal spool does not do anything, why put it there? If the trapped box that does 2000 points of magic damage has nopthing in it why have it exist? -------------------- "Many minds make quick work of uncertainty" Posts: 36 \| Registered: Thursday, March 31 2005 08:00
Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Sunday, May 22 2005 10:45 Profile #9 The super-trapped chest at the northern end of the secret tunnel into Greiner's rooms is just a sort of rotten Easter egg; a Mech of 20 is enough to open it, and it contains some trash. The contraband blue box in Main Army Camp is completely different. It is a sort of bug, a leftover piece of a quest that was somehow omitted from the game, whether deliberately or by accident. You can only get the 'Woven Crystal Spool' from this box after entering a debug code, and you can (apparently) never do anything with the spool anyway. At least that is my conclusion at this point. I told Jeff about it. This thread is to ask whether anyone else has actually found the relevant quest. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

Kinda like a Skein? -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

I too obtained the Woven Crystal Spool but couldn't do anything with it. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 \| Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00
