Since i'm very special person i did Everard's quest correctly but failed at murder quest. I can help with the latter and maybe i'll be able to help with the former too.
But first i need to know how far you guys are in MichaelBurge's guide. Can you do this step
Main.exe unpack < global.dat > unpacked.dat
?
I'll assume you can.
First thing i did was resetting Jack & Abram flags in Core City which are:
'quest_meetAbramInCoreCityCompleted'
'npc_abram_talkToJackCoreCity'
'npc_jackQuicksilver_gaveFirstMissions'
It should make it possible to talk to Abram and then Jack in CC and get quests again. Next you need to reset a quest flags and final report flag:
'quest_watch_FoundryTrialStarted'
'quest_watch_FoundryTrialCompleted'
'npc_jackQuicksilver_finalReport'
Now you should search for any occurence of "FoundryTrial" and "todor" in the file. If you see something suspicious, that could ruin this quest, set it to 0. I didn't fail this quest so i can not help too much here. Some flags that could be relevant:
'npc_fo_chief_firstTalkTodor'
'npc_fo_delma_seeTodorOnce'
'npc_fo_todor_met'
Setting a flag to zero usually won't break anything so don't be shy (:
Very important thing is making Todor despawn. Game won't spawn an NPC again if it thinks it was already spawned. Search for 'fo_todor', it should be near the top of your file. Replace the thing with zeroes. It worked for me with Lenox Pierce, it will probably work with Todor as well.
Hope that helps.
