Hi all. Got a few questions about Build 13. I updated from a pure game to 12.1 (from Pieter's page) and then installed the upgrade to 13 version 3. I'm encountering a few problems and I need a little help sorting them out:
1. During fight mode, as soon as I pull out my sword the character is in the "defend" state and does not change. I have to press down the defend key (Z) continuously to be able to attack (spacebar). Is this a sprite error? It's happened with 2 characters so far (haven't got to try them all yet). Not that big a deal, but was wondering. (And no, I tested my Z key to make sure it wasn't getting stuck. )
2. More important than that though... What happened to the boarding??? It seems like it almost NEVER happens anymore! With earlier versions (12 included) I would always beef up my grappling skills and abilities first and go on a boarding rampage to stock up on cash and boats. And it always worked well for me. But now I can be ramming right into the side of a boat with my ship and that darn grappling sign STILL doesn't appear! This is a travesty I say!
Are there new rules for boarding now? And more importantly, is there anything I can do to make it easier to board effectively? Any settings I can tweak around? (I NEED this - it's the one thing that's driving me up the wall in frustration!)
HELP!
(Those are the main ones I have now. If I have more questions I will post them here too. Hope you don't mind! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />)
