Just now I am in the stadium when I have to capture Greenfort colony and release Clement Aurentinus. I think I did all the needed arragemets that I had to do and I set to the Greenfort. I try to shoot at fort but nobody answer my gunfire. And neither to enter the town is possible.
So, I completely don´t know what to do now because without overcoming this place game can´t be played to the end.
Pieter, Hook, Petros, Skull, Nosie, CCC or anybody else, please help me to investigate what happens in my game. I would send you my save and please help me and play it for a little while in this place so as we could clarify and resolve this unpleasant situation.
Maybe I do something wrongly here yet, I really don´t know. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />
 
I recall hearing of that bug before. IncredibleHat tried to fix it, but I thought I added that fix into Beta 1. The way around this bug is to make sure you raise pirate colours on the Oxbay lighthouse shore. After that, the fire should fire on you when yuo get there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Is it the case that the fort is Enemy (red) but still doesn't return fire?

This may still be the bug that has been in the Post B12 for 10 months or more.

It was thought that maybe the forts were running out of ammo as they would constantly fire at enemy which in the stock game were well out of range.
All cannon were given greater range but the forts waste the ammo shooting into the mountain side.

Perhaps Pieter can answer if this is still the case in Pre-B13.
 
I will try, I will try. I use Nathaniel Hawk flag because it never was needed to hoist pirate flag in the past . I will try to hoist pirate flag first before heading from Lighthouse shore to Greenfort ( I hope I understood you well). Maybe now you can Pieter admit that it is quite useful to test the game in its advanced stadium from time to time too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Petros, although I am enemy of Brits now, my aiming cursor is yellow and not red in the course of my trying to attack the Greenfort fort. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

You understood me right. I hope it works. I heard of this bug before and the people encountering that bug reported that this would work to continue.

Did I ever say that that wouldn't be useful? If I did, I must have been severely confused, because it most certainly IS useful to test the game in the later stages as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Pieter it doesn´t work. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I am very sad about it because the main storyline is amusing and I entertained quite well. I wanted to play (test) the game to the end because I didn´t do it very long time already. But I can´t. It seems to me the problem is deeper and I think it is serious and important. Please, could you look at it thoroughly altogether with modders? I would send you my save if you would like and any other file that you would need and maybe you would be able altogether to make up something how to overcome this place and I could proceed further. And maybe you could find out from this save what causes it. I wouldn´t want to lose my mood and motivation for another playing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sad" border="0" alt="icon_sad.gif" />

Perhaps you need to maneuver your ship further away from the fort.
then use the roll of the ship to bring the elevation of your aim high enough to get the red reticle, and fire.
 
Petros, maybe you could try my save and tell me what do you think about it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
No helping hand from any modder? It´s sad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

I agree with Petros. Move farther away from the fort, and try to aim manually. The cursor will change colors from yellow if you can fire.

I have no idea what to do about this. Please see <a href="http://swankyplace.com/potcbugs/view.php?id=202" target="_blank">here</a> for a bug tracker report of the bug. And <a href="http://swankyplace.com/potcbugs/view.php?id=203" target="_blank">this</a> one is also related.
 
Mates, I really tried everything was I was able to do. I changed my flag to pirate try to shoot manually or automatically from larger distance but there is complete silent. Fort is completely silent and my aiming cursor always yellow. Is it such problem to try my save? Even in case you wouldn´t know solution this time it would be at least confirmation or disputing of my problem. I think we all want the same thing and this is so as the game would work as well as possible. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
I personally don't have the time to try your save. I need to get Beta 3 done. If anybody else playing Beta 1 would want to test it, that'd be great. It probably indeed IS a bug that should need to be fixed.
 
OK. I won´t urge it anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
