    False naval flags

    You're trying to sneak into a hostile port using a false flag. Because you have no LoM, that false flag is the naval type. If you're in a pure warship such as a frigate, that's a bit of a giveaway, isn't it? Because anyone legitimately in charge of a frigate either bought it (which requires a...

    Which download?

    B14 is certainly playable because, since I haven't got B15 working on my own PC yet, B14 is what I'm playing. So the use of the past tense in describing B14 is incorrect, and if you are hoping to see a final version of B14, you're going to be waiting for some time! Indeed, next time an update...

    Gherarde de Jongh is not hostile

    @Bartolomeu o Portugues: I've just returned to Bocht Van Hato with the Darien idol, fought Gherarde de Jongh's soldiers, and put to sea. There's his ship next to me and he's not hostile - I have an enhanced compass which shows friends such as Roxanne Lalliere in green, enemies in red, and...

    New Build

    Not Build 14 vs. Build 15, but the Building kit. :D Dialog file "Enc_Officer_dialog.c" tries to use bricks, inconsistently, and in particular it wants to use attribute "building.bricks". The problem is that functions 'InitBLDexterior' and 'InitBLDinterior' don't set that attribute, nor do the...

    Model show

    Here's one of the things I get up to at weekends. This was a big model exhibition. I had a few of mine on display. None of them were nautical; I do have some ships but I don't have a real car, so I have to carry the models while travelling by bus, and my ships would probably not have survived...

    Sea duels can ruin your career

    Sometimes in a tavern, you'll meet another captain. Various random things can happen if you talk to him. In particular, if you're in a friendly port, the conversation may go like this: Him: "Yes? What do you want, captain?" You: "It seems you are sitting at our table! That's a problem between...

    Should zombie Charles Baxter be able to surrender?

    @Bartolomeu o Portugues: Quest case "seezombie" does not contain anything to prevent the resurrected Charles Baxter from surrendering, either before or after boarding. That means you may be able to recruit him as an officer. Should he have a "nosurrender = 2" to make sure you kill rather than...

    Period-dependent ship names

    I don't want to see a British ship named Hood in my game. Not because that was the name of a ship which was famously sunk in WW2, but because that ship plus a couple more before it were named after Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood, an admiral who made his name in several battles during the late...

    New soldier interface pictures

    Soldiers all have interface pictures consisting of a musketeer silhouette superimposed on a national flag. British soldiers all use a Union flag, which is inappropriate for "Early Explorers" when the flag didn't exist. Spanish soldiers all use a red and yellow banded flag which is wrong for...

    Tribute

    As a tribute to the late Captain Murphy, I've been working on a little something. First, thanks to @Flannery and @Armada for permission to use the tribute soundtracks "Hail Captain Murphy" and "Final Salute" - if you haven't already seen the videos, go and look at them now! Buccaneers! Original...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: The Figures

    1/72 scale figures: Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates of the Caribbean Part II No sign of Captain Jack Sparrow, though there are a few who could be Blackbeard as they have black beards. No sign of Davy Jones either. That's because he's a zombie: Zombie Pirates

    Unconfirmed Bug Perk problems

    While lookin into the problem of leeches, I noticed something in "PROGRAM\Loc_ai\LAi_character.c", function 'LAi_AllCharactersUpdate': if(CheckPerkForGroup(chr_ai, "DefendPoison")) multip -= 0.5; //party wide if(IsCharacterPerkOn(chr_ai, "Toughness")) multip -= 1;That's not going to work because...

    Fix in Progress No items for sale when moored at a beach

    This is me in Pointe a Pitre on Guadeloupe, about to talk to one of the street traders and then buying items from him: Nothing unusual about that - except that my ship is currently at Anse Casse-Bois. Until now, if you moor at a beach and then walk into town, neither the store nor street...

    Poll New grass or old?

    The new installer includes a lot of replacement textures, including the grass, which has attracted some comments. The new grass texture is higher resolution so the plants are clearer to see, they're brighter, and they have a lot of red flowers. A Google Images search for "Caribbean wild grass"...

    Unconfirmed Bug False flag recognition

    Fals flag recognition doesn't work. The reason is this line in "Screwface_functions.c", function 'CheckForMainCharacterfalseflag':if (GetAttribute(chr, "skipFalseFlag")) return false;As far as I can tell, attribute "skipFalseFlag" is only assigned to Mergildo Hurtado, the captain of the...

    Silehard's collection

    This one threw up an unusual problem during my current playthrough. On approach to Bonaire, I ran into a Spanish convoy and captured three ships, then realised that I wouldn't be able to capture the Sirena until I'd sold them. So I went into town, sold the ships, then headed round to Palm...

    2nd mission with companions

    In Silehard's second mission, you escort Ewan Glover's ship to Bridgetown, land some troops, then hike across the island to meet agent Tobias. You might have some companion ships at this point - perhaps prizes you haven't yet sold, perhaps quest ships. If you don't know the story inside-out...

    Engine Limitation Too many sound aliases

    A routine check of "system.log" after some playing of PoTC showed some errors about "nightinsects". At the end of "RESOURCE\INI\ALIASES\sound_alias.ini" is this: ; ===== this insect file should go last so we can tell if we've exceeded the number of alias names. system.log will have errors on...

    Drinking in a tavern

    If you talk to one of the regulars in a tavern which has regulars, he'll randomly either want to drink or gamble with you. Gambling has been getting all the attention lately. Time to look at the other option. I'd noticed that, near the top of "Habitue_dialog.c", there are a list of taverns...
