I'm now using the latest mod (post build 12 - build 13?) and I love it and thank you all who are involved with it. I do have a couple of questions though. 1. I think I remember that at a/the store one could purchase ammo and powder for the crew and/or officers, but I have not seen that as of yet in the new update/build, something I missed? 2. I did not expirence (untill now) major loss of crew when boarding hostile ships, however, when I do doard a ship I may or maynot lose many crew and if I do and doard another ship it seems I may get all of them back even if the ship I am boarding would only have much less crew than what I am lacking. That make sence?? If my ship holds 100 ppl. and I board a ship and lose 85 ppl, then board another ship (that is max 50 ppl) and I have gotten all my men/women back plus 30 ppl. on the captured ship. By the way, I'm not complaining, I love this game, just wondering if I missed something. Thanks for all the help...

I can't help you with the ammo, as I have it turned off in my game. As for boarding casualties, it's still pretty off. We're looking at the problem.

You need also "current update". That one with the "ammo store" feature was 18/6. I don´t see that one on Pieter´s Pirate Page any longer?

On the FTP you find JRH simplified ammo mod. It´s an add-on to the standard ammo mod, another way of trying to fix the ammo situation. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
If you have the post build 12 + update you can buy gunpowder and bullets at the stores and vendors. To exchange items with your active officers walk up to them and press enter and then exchange.

When boarding ships, your crew morale really makes a differance. Usually the higher your crew morale is, the less casualties you will suffer. Also make sure to stock your weapons locker with good weapons. Hopefully this will cut down on crew deaths.

When you lose crew during a battle, and replace them with crew from captured ships, your crew morale will plummit. Low morale can cause a mutiny in your fleet if you or one of your officers has low leadership stats. I have had some mutineys happen on my officers ships. You lose your officer, ship and cargo. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
I now know exactly what the problem is with boarding casualties, and I know what it will take to fix it. And I know I can do a better job that the current method of jumping through hoops through several hundred lines of code, then ignoring the results and setting the casualties to random numbers. It looks like no one since Akella has understood this code.

LOL. I hope you'll be able to fix it. Thanks for looking into it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Peter,

When I try to download the latest update I get a forbidden message I tried downloading from both your pirate page and the link you have in this forumn:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /downloads/pre_b13_upd_8-7-06_small.zip on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 
I know. Something is wrong with my site. Download the Pre Build 13 Alpha download from the PA! main site instead.
