Please help: permanent Lollerskates!

Post by Bushwacka »

Hi guys. I'm really enjoying the mod thus far but unfortunately I've gotten myself into a pickle and I've no idea how to solve the problem!

Basically I was using the Lollerskates whilst passing through a map transition (the portal from Goat City to Downtown). In Downtown the skates ran out of juice as normal and I returned to normal speed. However when I went back to Goat City later I found myself back in Lollerskate Speed despite not even having them anymore. Now I seem to be permanently stuck in Lollerskate Speed, no matter how many map changes or saved game loads I go through. Using Fly or Ghost Mode allows me to travel at normal speed but I'm unable to interact with any buttons/switches etc whilst in these modes, and as soon as I go back to Walk the Lollerskate Speed returns again.

To make matters worse I saved my game after the skates ran out in Downtown, and also decided to delete off my older save games in order to clear up the clutter. So unfortunately I don't even have an older save that I can revert back to.

Seems as though I've really bodged things up here! A long-shot idea I have is if I can find another pair of Lollerskates and use them, then maybe when they run out it might trick the game into returning normal speed - no idea if that would work but it's all I can think of right now. But I don't know of any console code to summom a pair.

Please, any suggestions anybody has on how to possibly solve this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :smile:

You really shouldn't be playing an outdated version of the mod (this was fixed in patch 1.0.2), but you can fix it by typing stopskates in Goat City :smile:

Aha! Yep that worked a treat, everything's back to normal now. My sincerest thanks, Jonas - I really appreciate the bail there. Buy yourself something pretty! :smile:

Regarding the version I'm playing: I installed the very first patch you guys did (the one brought out only a few days after the mod's initial release) before starting my first playthrough. I would patch up again, but I'd heard that doing so may mess up your existing save games, so I'm reluctant to do so because I really don't want to lose my progress thus far and have to start from the beginning again.

Oh okay, yeah better not patch until you're done then. Though you can safely do so here:
  • Just before going to DXI
  • Just before returning from DXI.
  • Just before going to ABI.
  • Just before leaving ABI.
