Problem with the Black Pearl

[Black Bart Roberts]

I bought the black pearl in the pirate shipyards while playing and whne I went to sea with her, she had no sails <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

it's really strange, cuz all the rigging is there, and she moves just fine, but....no sails, I find it quite annoying <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

if it helps, I'm using the filmships addon for build 14 alpha 6. maybe there's somethin missing in that file? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

lol, invisible sails.. I've heard of that... well, sorry mate, I can't help you. Perhaps REinstalling the game, ofcourse that's if, after several days, you don't find a fix, but I'm sure someone has the answer to this bug. BTW, where are you in the main quest?

Please open PROGRAM\SHIPS\ships_init.c, then find "theBlackPearl" and post here what it says for the <i>refShip.EmblemedSails.normalTex</i> and <i>refShip.EmblemedSails.nationFileName</i> lines. It should read:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    refShip.EmblemedSails.normalTex = "ships\sail_whole_black_patch1.tga";
    refShip.EmblemedSails.nationFileName = "ships\sail_whole_black_patch2.tga";<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->in Build 14 Alpha 6.
Then go to RESOURCE\Textures\Ships and make sure those files are actually there. If there is a <i>Sails</i> subfolder move all files from there to your <i>Ships</i> folder.
Once you've done all this, load the game, press F11 (reinit) and you should have sails again.
All of the above assumes that you are running Build 14 Alpha 6.

ok, the ship I'm talkin about is the cursed pearl, and this is wat it says under the thingy u requested, Pieter.

refShip.EmblemedSails.normalTex = "ships\sail_BlackPearl.tga";
refShip.EmblemedSails.nationFileName = "ships\sail_BlackPearl.tga";

and then I did wat u said and moved all the files from the "sails" subfolder and moved them out.

 

[Black Bart Roberts]

Ah! The files WERE in a <i>Sails</i> subfolder then? Beats me how they got there; that folder should only be added and used in Build 14 Alpha 7, so that is really quite weird. Did you do anything with Alpha 7?
In any case: Glad you got them back. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
