for anyone having trouble getting the quest to trigger when picking up the slab. i thought maybe it was because i installed with vortex but that wasn't the case vortex installed correctly. so check and see if you have a mod that affects slabs for me it was a mod that marked books and slabs as "read" so i could keep track what books and stuff ive read. but as soon as i disabled and reloaded then read the slab mission started immediately. i hope it helps someone
Thanks for a solid well screwed together mod. My computer is only just capable of running Starfield, it slowed massively when I left the 'Rock' and 'Athena Tower', I had to make a quick save and restart at 'New Homestead', but it did not crash. I think that 'Chunks Noir' would seem more complete if you had an NPC start the quest, Benny's girl friend, Pancetta (?), perhaps, rather than just the slate chase.
I am currently doing "Alternating Currents" (which follows "Tapping the Grid") (i've completed everything , including powering down the breaker outside the Athena tower) but entering the apartment in Athena Tower). however the Alternating Currents quest marker takes me to Floor 4 - the Chunks Noir apartment - and approaching the Chunks Noir door on floor triggers the Alternating Currents dialogue, then if I unlock that door the Alternating Currents quest says I have accessed the Floor 7 apartment and now I need to find the 'evidence' of the grid drain...but I'm in Floor 4, not Floor 7 and as such the Floor 7 door will not open (the 'requires computer" is stuck as the dialogue happens outside the Chunks Noir apartment.) I've tried reloading and going to Floor 7 directly, but it doesn't trigger the dialogue. The dialogue will only trigger outside the Chunks Noir apartment.
Also, I have not started the Chunks Noir quest as I have not even dropped the artifact off at Constellation so cannot have jumped to Akila...
I know there was an earlier issue with the Astral Lounge triggering the quest prematurely...could this be similar? any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated as I'm sort of in a catch-22 loop.
Apologies for the the delay, I spent a good bit of time investigating this because "Alternating Currents" tends to have a decent amount of issues anyway. Here is essentially what was happening: Alternating currents has a stage in it (specifically stage 150) which is supposed to convert the Floor 7 apartment door into a normal lockpick door (so the player can break in). The reference alias in that quest was incorrectly being applied to a random non usable door on the 4th Floor apartment (the Chunks Noir apartment) which was making changes to the wrong door and messing with the quest marker. As a result, the "Alternating Currents" quest is working just incorrectly changing the wrong door. During my testing I never ran into a situation where any dialogue was firing off while on the Chunks Noir floor. Fortunately, the dialogue is not what's needed to progress the quest, for a temporary fix just use the console command tcl to phase through the door and the quest will continue as normal. I believe I have found the source of the problem in a way that I can fix for Chunks Noir so this doesn't have a chance of happening again, I can push out a fix for this within the next couple of days.
I was also doing the "Alternating Currents" quest and I am unable to use the elevator. (So I cannot go to any floor and stay outside). So I thought let do another quest so I went to Akila to pick up your quest. But the same elevator did not work. If this is something you could fix that would be great! I love the hard boiled film noir detective vibe you have set up! Otherwise in the next universe I will not start "Alternating Currents" before doing your quest and hope the elevator will work as intended.
Unfortunately the elevator is a known issue due to a change to the Athena Tower Elevators, the player will need to do a cell/location reset on New Atlantis IF they are starting the mod with a pre-established save/character (If the player is starting a fresh new game or entering New Game + after downloading this mod, this issue should not occur). The quickest way to do this is to start in New Atlantis, then fly to Venus and wait for about 10 in-game hours, the fly back to New Atlantis and the elevator should be fixed. This should properly adjust the elevator for the rest of the player's playthrough and this same process can be repeated if the elevator breaks again. I also just pushed out an update that should fix the issues with the "Alternating Currents" quest not displaying its objectives and updating itself properly. Apologies for the delay in the update, I had to track down the issue and make sure fixing it didn't break anything else. As a bonus to the fix I also added a new item called Benny's Flip Lighter that when in the players inventory causes the game to have a Black and White filter over it.
sounds great, thanks. and just to be clear, i had started a new character with Chunks Noir in my above comments/questions (starting at Vectera elevator, not even a fast start), not added as part of an existing game. But good to know NG+ and inactive isn't a real bandaid (I haven't made it back that far yet). I'll grab the update as I'm redoing my LO and will be starting a new character soon.
I was using the console, clicking on the door, spin mouse wheel until DOOR is the object, then typing Unlock, hit enter, door is unlocked. Would this mess with 4th floor door? Shouldn't matter as I did not / would not enter 4th floor until I get your quest and start it, but I was just curious. Your TCL solution required less typing to explain, to be sure.
It shouldn't mess with the 4th floor at all, your method would work just fine. However, the fix I put out should eliminate the possibility of the "Alternating Currents" quest ever being able to touch the "Chunks Noir" quest and vice versa. I also did some extra testing to make sure both quests could be occurring at the same time. without issue.
As far as I am aware you should be fine but unfortunately I am not 100% sure if it will cause any issues since you technically already started the quest prior to the update. The changes I made in my update were fairly minimal and address an issue where Chunks Noir could cause issues to “Alternating Currents” quest. Hopefully it shouldn’t cause you any issues.
awesome work , very detailed background stuff (spent sometime watching the decors) Also that subtle sense of humor "Mr Mortadella" etc...etc... we really are in a very well done caricature noir novel Thanks for the Mod !!!
Nice mod! I really liked the start of it. Casablanca? Should be more of the like in Starfield!
But I got stuck at the elevator to the apartment. Nothing happens when I try to go up. I tried the mod after quite a long game time in a "free" game featuring the Freestar Rangers (not following the main quest line at all). Should I have tried this mod earlier or is Constellation needed in any way? Haven't been much to New Atlantis, just the spaceport and the bar and the shop.

I do not believe what you described should have an effect on the elevator. The elevator is a known issue due to a change to the Athena Tower Elevators, the player will need to do a cell/location reset on New Atlantis IF they are starting the mod with a pre-established save/character (If the player is starting a fresh new game or entering New Game + after downloading this mod, this issue will not occur). The quickest way to do this is to start in New Atlantis, then fly to Venus and wait for about 10 in-game hours. This should properly adjust the elevator for the rest of the player's playthrough (This will also work if this issue ever arises again). It sounds like you just need to do a cell reset of New Atlantis with the steps I mentioned above and it should fix the issue.

Thanks for the Mod !!!
I made a review video of it and was really impressed. I've played easily over a hundred quest mods from the different games.
