    Abilities screen crash

    Follow-up: I can assign their abilities easily after removing them from the other ship.

    Abilities screen crash

    Hi folks. Every time I access the Abilities screen for an officer aboard (but not captaining) one of my companion ships, I get a runtime error crash. Error.log just reads: RUNTIME ERROR - file: interface\interface.c; line: 1599 no memory I've not touched interface.c. Sometimes the crash...

    Need Help Editing Wind speed / dismast mod

    Thanks for the reply! So my update is it still seems to be *mostly* working and since this is just a wee tweak for my own preferences I'm not overly inclined to bugfix. I booted the game up last night, the wind speeds remained stubbornly <10, 'til I went on deck and skipped forward 3 hours in...

    Need Help Editing Wind speed / dismast mod

    Had a go at this myself - initially with great success, after adding the following to internalsettings.h: #define WIND_INCREASE -1.0 // FLOAT - -1.0 - increase wind speed by this amount, 0.0 is default game // Valid values 0.0 to...

    Regarding Surrender.

    Cheers, @LarryHookins! Seems I have a great deal more to get to grips with here, but every little piece of advice and info helps so thank you. I think I understand now.

    Regarding Surrender.

    Things are coming along. Will hopefully have some working progress to share soon, if this is stuff the wider build is interested in implementing. I've noticed in the code the following couple of lines and wondered if somebody could explain why one has been commented out: //float fdist =...

    Regarding Surrender.

    Well, I started to make some headway in phase 1, adding reputation and profession effects to the chances of surrender/fleeing and potentially adding an alternate to surrender (for truly evil players) - abandoning ship. Not really onto any of what I was originally inspired to do but figured I may...

    Regarding Surrender.

    Well, I've brainstormed what I intend to do and have read through most of the relevant code. Most of it I can grasp after a little thought - I have minor experience with some coding language and my algebra isn't bad, the basic logic of it all makes sense to me and a lot of what I don't...

    Regarding Surrender.

    Well, I've had a good look through the files and I might as well try! What's the worst that can happen (so long as I backup my game properly haha!) I shall make no promises and not hold my breath but I will have a good go. It seems that cabinfight_dialog.c is the place to start? I'll give...

    Regarding Surrender.

    Hey, has anybody else ever encountered a problem where the game running in windowed mode opens with the top left corner of the window at about the centre of the screen, and most of the game off screen? Only option I have left to me is to switch it to fullscreen, but I know from experience that...

    Thanks, Congratulations and is this something I could customise for myself?

    By the way, is it normal/accurate that my tier 8 Hoy generally dwarfs brigs and other small square rigged vessels? Or is that just how big the model we've got is? Also, I'm a bit stumped by the smuggling mechanics. The governor asked me to investigate smuggling, but I couldn;t figure out the...

    Thanks, Congratulations and is this something I could customise for myself?

    Excellent! I'm not at all averse to hiring more, but it's nice to hear I'll get some from the military.

    Thanks, Congratulations and is this something I could customise for myself?

    Quite possibly my username may be somewhere in the files, I'll check shortly. I've yet to do any recolouring recently and anything I made before was 3 or 4 PCs ago so long, long lost. I will almost certainly end up doing some skinning work for my own purposes as I explore Beta 4.1, and when I do...

    Thanks, Congratulations and is this something I could customise for myself?

    Yes, indeed I did. Not very good ones! I am considerably better talented with GIMP than I used to be but I know little enough about ship colour schemes or graphical art that it's best left to the experts! Always happy to dabble in files and recolours for my personal use but I've never created...

    Thanks, Congratulations and is this something I could customise for myself?

    Indeed - clearly I'm imagining things, obviously that would be a great deal of coding for very little benefit to the player - most would rather reload or be sunk! I just wondered if I was missing something but of course you're right, it's not a simple little function, it would be an involved and...
