Jellybelly Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Okay, have anyone else noticed that the action menu sometimes tends to disappear? That you don't get the option to bash or pick the lock? Now, I'm located in the dormitories in the Peragus mining facility, where there is a locked door (presumably where that smuggler guy has his hidden cache) that I can't get through. A message saying I need to use a mine to blow the door open appears when I click the door, but I just don't know how to do this! The action menu thing is entirely missing from the picture. Having encountered this problem before, I reloaded yet nothing changed. The strange thing is that when I went looking around in the rest of the room, all the other objects had action menues "attached". Now, could it be that I'm doing something wrong, and you don't need the action menu to blow open this door? How did you guys do this? Any help is much appreciated.

Aegis Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 This is as the droid, right? You first have to find some mines, then you can use them to blow the door open. They are on a corpse near a big pipe, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaave Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Scroll right and the action menu should reappear then go through your mines and in brakets underneath where it says what kind of ine it is (frag, sonic etc)it should say that it for use on doors just stand by the door and set the mine. Then back off and it should automatically detonate opening the door for you. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Oh yeah, if you want to complain about doors you can't open, wait until you get to Telos, planet-side. Now there's a door that resulted in a lot of frustration for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybelly Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Um.. With what should I scroll right? The arrows on my keyboard...? Because there is no action menu on that door at all... Excuse me if I'm being excruciatingly slow... It's in the middle of the night here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Check your inventory to see if you actually have any mines (I think they are supposed to be sonic mines). If you don't, you need to find some and they should show up as the right button of the three. If you have several types of mines, you will see some arrows above and below the picture so you can select which type of mine you want to use.

Jellybelly Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 You have to realize, there are no three buttons. It's just a sign saying "broken door", and then nothing. I do have some sonic mines, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Slight update here... On closer examination it turns out I only have grenades and a sonic DETONATOR. Is this the same as a sonic mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Thank god. Would that indicate that my game isn't broken anyway...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I think the detonator should do the job. If you want to make sure, I think this is how to find the explosives to open it: Go to the obs window console, hack it and open the locked door. Go through it and you should find a narrow hallway going down, with some turns. At the bottom, a new area with a large pipeline. In that area, there should be a corpse with the charges, and I believe a datapad as well. But I'm quite sure the menu should be there regardless of whether you have the explosives or not.

Volourn Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 "Um... Obs console? Locked door? Exactly where are you now...?" LA took them prisoner. In order to free them; you have to break down that door. <> DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 "Obs" Obs = Obsidian P.S. I was making a silly joke that's obviously beyond your grasp or doesn't make sense... Anyways... Seriosuly, I'd liek to help with your problem; but can't.. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well, your joke makes sense now, at least... Given that LA is LucasArts. But still... I can't find any of those damn mines. Can't get the f*cking cheats to work either, so I can summon one. (only in the interest of checking if the action menu should decide to return then, of course...)

Aegis Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Oh, sorry. I used the abbreviation without thinking. Observation window was what I meant to say. There should be a room with a ramp up that leads straight to a computer console in front of a window where you can see the Ebon Hawk. In the room, the lower level, there should also be two doors. One can be unlocked by the droid, the other only later. Use the console to open one of the doors and you should see a ramp down, followed by a left U-turn, and another ramp down. Eventually, you'll reach a new area and there will be a large pipeline structure there. Somewhere in that area (it's a small area), you should find a miners corpse and he should have the explosives you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Now I see... but you misunderstand, I am playing as the main character, and I'm located in the dorms... Where the miners where gassed to death... That's the door I'm talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I think I have isolated the problem, so to speak. When I leveled up, and placed one point in DEMOLITIONS, the action menu reappeared, and would allow me to place the mines I've found. However, my skill wasn't high enough! :D Anyways, thanks for all the help guys, appreciate it immensely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Ah, that would explain a lot, I guess. Well, have you openened the morgue, talked to Kreia and taken the weapon on the corpse (don't remember, some sort of tool like a welder)? You should use that to bash the door open, I'm not sure if you can do anything before you've spoken to Kreia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybelly Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yeah... The problem area was the dormitory, the area you arrive at shortly after your little spacewalk and the arrival of the Harbinger. The welder thing didn't work on the door, only explosives could do the trick, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Not sure but you may be able to back track there with Atton and have him blow it open for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eszti Tzion Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 This might be a little late... I had the exact problem. Turned out to be the difficulty, just changed it from "hard" to "normal". Then I was able to blow up the door with the mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
