    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    Both Jason's problems are related to not knowing where you are on the MAP after the video. I have been able to replicate that. (many times!). Quest reload to sea does mess things up - so I did a direct board, then video on goto MAP. The same problem occurred, you got to see with no island in...

    When you make your next post, (below where you type in your reply), you will see an attachment section. Browse your PoTC directory for the error file and attach it to the post. I have shown a compile log here, as an example, as I don't have any errors running at the moment.

    Harris is correct for the solution here. However I have removed that requirement for the next update. (Too many people missed it: "We shall sail to the north side of Guadeloupe. Then set a course of WSW as we pass." - It was meant to encourage Direct Sailing). You can go to FdF anyway you like...

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    It would seem the dialog has skipped. You are in "actor" mode when you first enter the room (which is why you can't move), so the dialog for some reason has jumped to the end of the scene. I have just replayed this several times but I cannot replicate the problem. All the dialog in this scene is...

    Retried it and got the same problem as Jason. Obviously, I am looking at it all now.

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    That obviously isn't correct - it worked for me though. A crazy suggestion, when that happens again, go and find a storm and sit in it. Sounds nuts, but it did resolve the position issue for me before the fix. In the meantime, I will play that section again to see if the fix still works for me.

    newbie help

    I would you suggest that you play the game as is for now, until you get used to the controls (sailing, fighting etc.) and various things that happen in the game. That way you will have at least an idea of what to expect when you move onto the mods (which are HIGHLY recommended). DO keep an eye...

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    I'm certainly not into that coding - my only thought is why always Barbados? Certainly in Hornblower, THAT island isn't called till much later in the game.

    In "Mutiny" the first part of the quest is from Bridgetown to a Quest Deck. - When that part is complete, then a Quest Relocation to Cuba takes place. Thanks :onya2 At least we will be able to see if it helps with my current issues.

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    HMMM! Well it always used to work! If that is the case then Hornblower will have to be re-written!! There are several cases of quest relocation. I noticed yesterday that on "Attacking the Fort" (in Mutiny) for instance, I could get there O.K., carry ot the quest, but on going to sea or MAP...

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    The Volcano is always there (until you sink it). The best approach is either direct sail from Guadeloupe (North end of that island, the sail wsw) or MAP go to north end of FdF then go to sea. In either case the Volcano will sail towards you and attack. This part of the game was one I did at the...

    Jason - And I don't see them as that either, I was just trying to explain the "why it happens" so you would know. Keep on testing. We NEED your help. :cat :cat :cat

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    That is due to a shortage of character models. I think Pieter has explained before that we have a shortage of skinners right now, and those we DO have, are very much overloaded with projects, so I am using "standard" characters. This unfortunately leads to duplication. This IS an alpha version...

    Build 14 Alpha 10 Work In Progress

    It is due to a time scale issue - In the Hornblower films it is implied that Nelson is already dead by the time the events of the Fire Ship and the Mutiny take place. Also, again in the films, Sir Hew is in fact the character used, so to simplify matters I used that character. Nelson is no...

    Hornblower Quest

    Mainly for Pieter: I have uploaded the latest (and hopefully greatest) version of Hornblower to the ftp. For players: If you play this quest - pay attention to what you are told - you are in the navy now. "Orders is orders" as they say, and if a character says don't pass them, then don't pass...

    New Characters

    O.K. I will upload in the next two days (life is crazy right now so I can't be certain which day) I will "turn" the cannon in the game for the time being.

    Thanks Duke, I do INDEED intend to get into learning texturing next, right now though I am finishing up the extended Hornblower/Sharpe's rifles quest and as Pieter is sneaking off :roll: [joke] on one of his extended sea cruises :keith (AGAIN! At the end of the month) [another joke] I want it...

    New Characters

    I am about to upload the extended Hornblower quest, but I really would like, if it is possible, to have some modified soldiers uniform colours. "Offic_eng_18" "Soldier_Eng_18" "Soldier_Eng2_18" through "Soldier_Eng6_18" The coat should be dark green, the waistcoat a darker green and the...
