    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    Methinks I'm done. It's to the point where I don't know what to do next, so it will not be touched again unless someone finds something wrong. An oddity: There are a lot of bad ropes in system.log. I found the ropes but they are all good so I don't know what ship they belong to. Oh well.

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    By some coincidence I currently have the CastelF set to "Btn" rig and 10.9 best speed and 70 turn rate. I also created a new rig "Pol" with a closest point of .22 and a best point of .7. This combined with a speed of 10.1 and a turn rate of 75 makes the Polacca faster than the CastelF...

    Hmm. I lean towards giving the CastelF more speed because some ships got their top speed by raising the main sail and letting the fore mast carry the ship. The CastelF has a square sail fore mast. Yes the Polacca should be faster into the wind than the CastelF but not as fast as it is. It...

    The CastelF is indeed faster with the wind than the Polacca, but the Polacca is much faster with any other kind of wind and will easily sail over the horizon in normal game play. That is what I'm attempting to fix. I want them to be closer in performance because their size and hull shape...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    After setting the rig type for the Polacca to "Xeb" and the CastelF to "Btn" and then adjusting the CastelF so its speed is about 1 knot slower than the Neptunus I have, which makes it about 3 knots faster than the Polacca, the Polacca still sails off over the horizon because it sails into the...

    The brigantine's spanker

    Congratulations! You just discovered something new after all these years. :bow If the spanker swings around too far it will foul the rigging and look ugly which indicates that it is swinging unrealistically. I never knew how to stop its swing sooner, but you have found out how to do it. I...

    Ok, will experiment more.

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    That is because even with the speed and turn rate buffs the Polacca still outsailed the CastelF because it can sail into the wind far better. My goal is to get the CastelF to be faster than the Polacca. The alternative is to slow down the Polacca by giving it the "Btn" rigging too. Err...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    While this thread is up front, I recently upgraded the CastelF sailing properties. The reason why is because I had a Polacca and a CastelF and the Polacca was sailing circles around the CastelF. I didn't know I had messed it up so bad. So I changed 3 lines in shipsinit.c and it is much...

    Mod Release "Equalizer" mod for German version 1.40 that allows proper updates

    OT: Is Dropbox a viable option? I had one for years but it was always locked due to too much traffic, and that was only for POTC stuff.

    Need Help Bug with camera for ship model

    Does the PO_Posiedon have the high camera bug? That model has dome hull locators that are pretty high.

    Screenshots thread

    There is a citizen on Nevis who mentions the population of Nevis. This is a good indicator of how well or badly the Pirates are doing.

    Confirmed Bug (World)Map Position Jumping Around During DirectSail

    I know it's impossible in this game and was just engaging in wishfull thinking. I used to do direct sail from Havana to Sao Jorge with no problems but now it just isn't worth the bother. Either I don't have the patience and/or the game has changed. And when I check my position on the map I...

    Confirmed Bug (World)Map Position Jumping Around During DirectSail

    One thing I wish this game did have was latitude and longitude. You have a map, compass, and sextant and still don't know where you are. Hitting "M" for map is useless as it shows your ship in some random spot that changes radically every time you look. Because of this I have to island hop...

    Does Groot have a weapon? I'm very chatty, but only with citizens with weapons.

    Unconfirmed Bug Turks fort

    No chance at all of that as I have gone through hundreds of saves since then. I did just complete the Animist quest last night and berthed the square rig ships needed for the final battle and am once again sailing that same Polacca, so it might trigger the fort again. But if I am not...

    Unconfirmed Bug Turks fort

    The Governor there is an agent. He asked me if I had any problems with Pirates and I replied that I changed my mind. I went to Turks again. Going in all was calm and the compile log said my ship was out of range of the fort so it could not do the friend or foe check. When it came to leaving...

    Unconfirmed Bug Turks fort

    I did not "sail-to" but direct sailed in all the way. When I tried to talk to the Governor the dialog was the standard one about not having anything to talk about as all was well.
