Hi,
Just finished an Escort mission to Hispaniola.....where's the merchant to collect my pay ?
Answer..not on the jetty as he should be,he's stood inside the fort :wp

BTW....looking at that system file ther's a lot of checker.tga's that can't be loaded(those files belong to the leathal shovels & spades xD: etc. and the artillery cannons).

PS. the graphics tearing at sea....any progress on solving that problem?

:cheers

Can you post this one on the Bug Tracker as well, please?

Are you saying a checker.tga file should go in the AMMO subfolder as well? Sure, can do. :yes

No luck on those weird tearing graphics; we can't seem to figure it out. :modding
 
Hispaniola too? The escort missions are broken at Alice Port, St. Johns, and Havana also. How did you find him in the fort? When a merchant doesn't show up on the jetty I find him in his cabin.

You can try turning your graphics settings way down. That does help. I can't do that because the load is too light and my video card drops into 2d mode and the game runs worse.
 
Hi Pieter,
The checker file should'nt go anywhere...it's the default material texture used in the modeling program.After you assign a new material & texture to a model and delete the history the checker file is no longer used.
I'll post the Escort problem in the bug tracker :onya

Hi miklkit,
I found him by accident....went through wrong the gate to go back to port,he just walked up to me when entering the fort & payed up.
What happens at St. Johns?

As far as graphics go I can run most games with my nV GT8800 with full resolution and effects & never had any problem with previous PoTC builds.
I'll try turning it down to 1024x768 but I think something gamewise is causing the tearing.
I've got a suspition that the pennant mod has something to do with it..in my game all the tears start as if sprouting out of a single point on the middle mast :shrug

I'll try build 13 for a bit & see if it occurs in that seeing as this card is a replacement.

:cheers

Hi Damski.

At St. Johns it is actually a sometimes thing. Sometimes the merchant is there, but usually he is not. I haven't accepted an escort mission to there in a while because of it. When there is no merchant I go to his ship and find him in his cabin, kill him, which erases that mission, and go on.

About the tearing, your middle mast is about the center of the screen. On mine it often gets divided into halves and quarters. It also gets hung up on the horizon line. For me Build 13 has no tearing at all. That is one reason I still like and play it. Build 14s bigger world and upgradeable ships is nice tho.
 
For the weird graphical effects, I also still suspect the Different Flags mod, but I have no clue on the specifics.

Hi Pieter,

Re:- our suspitions of the flag mod causing the graphics problem....I just had a CTD whilst sailing into Port Royal and got a windows error which gave this....pirflag3.dll version 0.0.0.0.fault address offset 0x00001b8f,could this also be causing the graphics upset?

Please add that in here; maybe somebody has an idea?
