Issue #17845: MGCollegeLectureInfos: dead actors cause 7 of the 8 lectures to not happen

 
Seven of the eight Winterhold Lectures from MGCollegeLectureInfos will fail to play if some of the spectators are dead. The spectators that die or can die in a non hacked game are Mirabelle, Ancano, Arniel and Nyria. The only lecture where those fouraren't spectators is the Colette Marence one, which can normally proceed for the whole game.

In the quest aliases, these actors are marked as optional. But in scenes -> Edit Actor behaviour, the Death End checkboxes are marked for all actors in all lectures. This is what causes the scenes to not start (or inmediately end after being started byMGCollegeLecturesQuestScript). Removing the Death End checkboxes in all conferences for these 4 spectators fixes the problem, after that the scenes play correctly with only dead actors missing.

It is worth to mention that the Faralda scene Action 15 has conditional dialogue if Savos Aren is dead or not. And after Savos Aren is dead, the hall of elements cannot have more lectures until the end of the main winterhold quest, thus, after Mirabelle and Ancano are also dead. This practically confirms that lectures not happening after main quest is not a developer decision, but a bug.

I've never seen any lectures to be honest, occasionally Onmund and J'zargo will fire off magic in the hall of elements, but at their own accord, most of the time the teachers are in the hall of countenance or attainment, seldom going to the library as far i've seen.

The lectures happen at 2 pm. To see them, wait until 1:XX outside hall of elements, then enter hall of elements, and just wait normally and exactly at 2 pm, the actors will begin to enter the hall of elements for the lecture. The lecture is chosen by randomness.

The problem is that this bug doesn't let seven of them to happen after some of those people have died. So you can only get the Colette lecture after that, which has only 1/8 possibility of being trigered.

Hmm. This behavior seems consistent with scene behavior in some other stuff I was working on. Heads up: in a game where the retro had run to restart MGCollegeLectureInfos, this issue won't happen -- Ancano is dead and Mirabelle disabled, so their aliases are empty, which seems to not cause any problem.

Fixed for USKP 2.0.8.

The lectures are now flagged to abort only if the person GIVING it is dead. That should put a stop to the rest of them blocking these from running.
