After talking to Old Joe and Lily they send me to the stranger to ask about commercial sensors. I talked to the stranger, he asked about my background, was no option to ask about or mention of sensors for a store. The quest updates to find out whats wrong with Old Paul, marker wasnt working so I had to go searching for him. Turns out hes outside the strangers store just standing around doing nothing with no dialog options.
 
So what seemed to be happening to me was the quest would seem to advance to stage 1000 after I talked to the stranger. I reset the quest then manually advanced the stages. At that point talking to old joe worked but he didn't really move to where he was suppose to but things worked after that. Don't wanna give away spoilers with a better explaination. Anway console commands are:
resetquest ss2_sirick_mq04
setstage ss2_sirick_mq04 1
setstage ss2_sirick_mq04 2
setstage ss2_sirick_mq04 10
setstage ss2_sirick_mq04 20
setstage ss2_sirick_mq04 30
At this point talking to Old Joe worked, sort of. BE SURE TO SAVE BEFORE YOU DO THIS, in case it doesn't work for you, it may mess things up worse. G'luck!

Hmm, whenever I put any of those commands in, it just says "compiled script not saved!" only thing that seems to do something is the reset quest but then I can only trade items with him.

oh crap I put a space in the setstage commands they should all be ss2_sirickmq04 without the space

--fixed now
 
Hit a bug in Casting a Line. Talked to Stranger got the update to talk to Old Paul.

Old Paul is in Sanctuary. When speaking to him he says Raider.. Hurry. No raiders spawn. Guessing he was supposed to come to Concord.
 
So first off the quest If I had a hammer has a really hard time tracking plots being built and secound off When you try to see whats wrong with old Paul he just keeps repeating the raiders hurry line and the quest does not progress last theres a small bug where the SS 2 quest don't have map markers like I tried to find old Paul for 5 minutes and only tracked him down using the track occupants on his residential plot.
 
I have the quest to find out whats wrong with Old Paul, but when I speak to him he just says "Raiders (deep Breaths) Hurry!". but nothing happens afterwards, I cant talk to him and he just says that line over and over again
 
Same, I've even checked the surrounding area, albeit I only went out about 20 yards.

Edit: I searched the whole island and across both bridges and still didn't find any raiders.

So I was able to get the quest going using this method, but there's still the issue of getting to bugged quest off my list. Any way to get rid of it?
