Manhattan Lynching (who is Maksim?)

Recommended Posts

So most of you know what happen in Manhattan mission (who dont do not read this thread)

So i found the way to save Dr.Sova and Antonia whatshername from lynching - i reported Fyodor's cache! And when i got lynching call he said "I believe its your friend Maksim. Kid is OK tho"

I have no idea who is this Maxim (or Maksim), my deepest sympathy, but i wonder who this is (his encounter seems to involve some kid? dont remember any kid models, maybe just on words in the dialog. Or maby it is cut content that i somehow glitched in?)

According to the script Maxim should be a Russian settler whose son was kidnapped by some Chedaki when they traveled in the forest. He went for the local militia and CDF for help, they ignored him, so he turned to the Marines. Though, I've NEVER seen this Maxim IN GAME.

Got interested because I never encountered Maksim either, so peeked at the scripts. There's a reason he's not encountered. It's apparently due to an error, an incorrect variable check made in the mission.

The Maksim scenario is supposed to play out shortly after the Gorka cache is discovered, to reveal a Chedaki camp, but it apparently doesn't play out because of an incorrect variable check made in one of the mission FSM's. The assignment is tied to Fyodor's status towards BluFor.

Fyodor starts out with neutral status. In InitJIPCompatible.sqf:

BIS_missionScope setVariable ["statusFyodor", "neutral"];

When the cache is discovered, his status is changed to friend or foe depending on whether the cache gets reported. in subGrpMainSearchGorka.fsm:

[i][color="#A9A9A9"]//not reported[/color][/i]
BIS_missionScope setVariable ["statusFyodor", "friend"];

[i][color="#A9A9A9"]//reported[/color][/i]
BIS_missionScope setVariable ["statusFyodor", "foe"];

Regardless of what it changes to, when Fyodor's status is changed the timer is supposed to kick in for the mission to meet Maksim and locate the camp.

The problem, and reason why Maksim's mission assignment doesn't play out, is that the variable being checked is "fyodorStatus" instead of "statusFyodor". In grpMain.fsm:

!(_cond17) && (BIS_missionScope getVariable "fyodorStatus") != "neutral"

If the team arrives to interview Maksim, the interview won't play out either because the wrong task is being checked. In grpMain.fsm:

[i][color="#A9A9A9"]// when ordered to interview Maksim[/color][/i]
_nic = [objNull, BIS_Cooper, "per", rCREATETASKSET,  [b][u]"objMaksim"[/u][/b], [localize "str_grpmain.fsm_fsm_states_shaftoe_orders_rt_to_go_interview_maksim_1", localize "str_grpmain.fsm_fsm_states_shaftoe_orders_rt_to_go_interview_maksim_2", localize "str_grpmain.fsm_fsm_states_shaftoe_orders_rt_to_go_interview_maksim_3"],  position BIS_Cmaksim] call RE;
};

[i][color="#A9A9A9"]// when arriving at Maksim to do interview[/color][/i]
!(_cond18) && BIS_cooper distance BIS_Cmaksim < 10 && !(isnil {BIS_missionScope getVariable [b][u]"obj11TaskArray"[/u][/b]})

Maksim will be hung in Gorka if the cache gets reported and Fyodor becomes a foe; apparently it's supposed to play into the report of rising ethnic tensions according to the dialog, but the dialog doesn't play since the mission doesn't occur. Whether it actually keeps Valentina and the Doctor safe when they haven't yet been killed, I dunno. But the Chedaki camp related to his mission is there, regardless that the assignment doesn't play out.
