    B14 troubles

    Sorry to be a pest but a recurring gimmick in play has irritated me since v16 and nobody has replied to my frequent complaints. Recruiting in the tavern is plagued by interviews when the candidate suddenly walks away and zigzags about the room very fast and changes direction as soon as I align...

    Excellent! I appreciate your taking the time to make the drop-in code, makes the mode a lot easier. Please clarify for me the instruction "AISea.c should not be changed." my take is to leave it as it... embed only worldmap_encgen.c and AIShip.c... right? What I do is to name-change by adding...

    Beta test complete, unfortunately AISea.c has failed.... replacement with another file from working game restored function...could be my placement of code or spacing since I'm not familiar with how critical that is...used PDF995 app that prints the text in PDF formatting into a doc that I opened...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 12th January 2024]

    While it normally does lock the map, in this case, due to a fault in the code execution, which happens a lot due to the huge volume of code to download and install, errors happen on a statistical basis that corrupt and the only troubleshoot is to delete and download until you get an execution...

    Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would never have been able to ferret this out of that tornado of code that PotC has become. Has anyone considered cleaning out the obsolete trash and slimming this Hurricane down to a simple compilation? A noble deed indeed if anyone is Hero enough to slay this code...

    Been playing B14v24 British... just now had a black screen crash during screen transition...game still running submerged since the sound continues, but an F5 save doesn't work when I restart game! Anybody have an idea why this happens? How do I make an elevation in screen priority that sticks...

    Help with storms? Any idea where the constant storms generator is located. The "Weather" in Program location I zeroed used to work just fine but this last v24 seems to be back to the irritating constant storms, and I'd like to be rid of such childish nonsense.as masts knocked down by 4# shot...

    Hmmm.... Where can I get help with this Sink a Ship glitch? If I'm getting it whether I use 7 or 10 I suspect it's in the code rather than the OS used. Making a general Call-OUT for HELP! Anyone in the realm having the same problem? Has anyone found this glitch and been able to remove it...

    BNH B15 Issues

    Yep...it's the installed "Nag-Ware" with constant popup ads to update, go Pro, special sale, etc. Once it posts on top the screen it cannot be removed if they've not tagged it with a delete x in the upper right corner or a dismiss link, whatever... Never had that happen before this is new and I...

    Great! Just what I was looking for... thanks for the direction. Tell Hammie another very irritating issue comes up during play... Nagware demands to "upgrade or new version download" keep popping up over the game. The more aggressive do not have a delete option and persist until I...

    Hey Mr. Wizard! You are right on point! Thanks so much for the help through this maze. Without some kind of operating worksheet I'm navigating by trial and error and trial and error overandoverandover until some iteration works. Doesn't help that I'm also dealing with the "idiot"syncratic...

    Would someone please either change the image used for chain shot label to actual chain shot or correct the label to "Bar Shot" which is what the image actually is... it just bothers me to see such an error continuing for so long... does no one else recognize this or is it an inside joke among...

    The script used for discussion lettering is too small and such low contrast color as to be almost impossible to read. Bold, black script in 12 font or larger would be a lot easier to read similar to the script used in this forum. after an hour of selecting from the list of available resolutions...

    W10 never ceases to amaze me just how incompetent MS is in creating an OS. Guess what? Engine.ini has a full screen option box that when checked makes the play screen submerge beneath the desktop... not very smart is it? And, of course, only preset screen dimensions are available in the list...
