Hah, I got drunk in a bar and convinced an alcoholic to come with me. I guess we are headed for the desert.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

That guy is part of a quest in the town.
And seeing how slow that ****er is it's a pretty painful one at that.

 

[Josef_the_Pretender]

That ****ing alcoholic. That's the first mission I accepted, and I'm still trying to get him home. Thinking of putting a bullet in his head any minute now...

To the lad who can't find the warehouse key; start over while you still can. There's no getting around it, I had to redo it myself.

Er, no, you don't have to restart it. It's simply that you have to complete all the other main quests before you can get the key.

The latest version 1.3 of the Unofficial Patch was released on The Patches Scrolls:

http://www.patches-scrolls.de/precursors.php#tp13

It was renamed from Unofficial English Translation Patch to Unofficial Patch

it is planned that the next official patch for the English version from GFI will
be based on this patch, so please report any critical issues or mission bugs!

You should add that to your previous post, as double posting is against the rules on this forum, just a heads up.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Not really that much against the rules, just generally frowned upon.

 

[BattleOfValmy]

You're generally frowned upon >:I

 

[Sheriff-murder]

Your face is generally frowned upon.

 

[BattleOfValmy]

It's true, I am sad sometimes

Done!

Hello! I'm on my first real space mission where I have to "Escort the transport to Goldin's orbit"
Exactly how do I do that?
When I press "F" I only get the usual alternatives (hyper/leave/interstellar) What do I need to do to make the transport follow me?
Please, help me! I've been searching google for two days now without answers!

Thanx!

And how do I cure my raging alcoholism?

EDIT: I can go to the doc for health and steroid healing, but alcohol dependency isn't affected. Any ideas?

It works fine on my system with the Unofficial Patch, but in the original game drugs and alcohol were swapped in the HUD.

To avoid searching this thread for the updated Unofficial Patch 1.3 installer, here is the latest version:

Well; first you have to admit you are powerless over alcohol; that your life has become unmanageable.

  Classic.

Eh, can anybody tell me how to deploy the beacons for the sandworm quest?  I can't get them out of inventory without placing them in the right areas, but when I go to the areas specified nothing happens and there is no way to place them in the ground. 

Sandworms on a remote desert planet that produces a valuable mineral.  The game is full of highly original sci-fi ideas like this, but all in all, it's hard to disapprove.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Well, you can either call it unoriginal or full of references; pick one.

Look for a ghost of the beacon lying around (it's a greenish transparent thing IIRC), you should be able to just walk up and use it.

In fairness, I set him up for the punchline
