    Fixed Marie Celeste

    @nich666: if you're still having the problem with surrendered captains failing to show up, download this "console.c", load up your most current savegame and press F12. Also download "cabincaptain_fix.zip", unzip it and copy it into place, which should prevent the problem from happening again...

    Fixed Marie Celeste

    Hi Grey, Just had a look, i'm a 'Neutral' so between the Devil and the deep blue sea. It seems to be enough to reach any port without mutiny. Incidentally I am playing as a Dutchman as they are fighting everyone except the English, Portuguese and can use Pirate ports, so plenty of angst about.

    Fixed Marie Celeste

    Right, good advice but I have a string of officers to choose from so that's no problem. I think i'm only just a 'Bloke' bordering and dipping into 'Rascal' and certainly not 'Dashing Hero' except in real life. When I capture a ship the first thing I do is pay to get the crew to 'Normal' from...

    A good point, you might have something there. I'll try locking them in the hold then release him when in dock, as my reputation isn't fantastic it would help.

    Hi Pieter, (Pie for short?), Thanks for the reply. It could be that, although I go through the routine that if the captain fights you have no option than to kill him, or die in the attempt. If I see the ship isn't better than mine for cargo/crews etc. I then let the captain go but take off what...

    Oh well, She [Marie], sails again. After capturing an East Indiaman with my Heavy Brig (fantastic at beating much bigger ships, but lack of crew numbers holds you back), and finding a captain on board to fight, that was the last captain for me. The next two ships I boarded, now with the East...

    Hi Grey, Thanks for the speedy reply. I have had a chance to try it out and I think you're right, I had to try quite a lot of back saves that fortunately I still had, until one worked so that boarding a surrendered ship had the captain on board. Oddly, some let me fight through the decks as...

    Fixed Marie Celeste

    Hi, Hope someone can help. I have the Build 14 Aug 2018 version which is working superbly, except lately when boarding a surrendered ship, I can't take it over as there is no captain aboard, or anyone else. I looked all round the vessel and it isn't the Marie Celeste so is there a fix for this...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Yes, I'm bottom of the class again. You are both right of course, changing the one at the bottom to 1 let's you slide out of trouble until you gain enough clout in melee and equipment to not need it. It is a cheat of sorts as I can board then slide overboard until I can heal enough or shoot the...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Hi Grey, Thanks for the reply and interest, Sorry for the tardy reply, I have been away. Only virtually though, I updated my processor which, of course, means changing the motherboard and while at it fitted a second pump and reservoir which all takes time, hitting my head against all the BSOD's...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Hi Grey, Yes I have basic defence as well as the Leather armour (I know this game), and tried the dungeon, not only did I die (again) my bosun died as well. Just to clear up if the game loading went a tad awry, I deleted the game and reloaded a new one from the latest Mod, Build 14 May18th...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    Hi, I had to open the game to check and the melee @ 5-5 is pretty good in spite of having just started a new game. I also immediately got the Back bladed side sword to excellent as well. Puzzles me with this melee and sword how useless I am. I have restarted after changing the side step but...

    Mod Release Build 14 GAMMA [Last Update: 31st December 2021]

    WOW thanks for the quick reply Grey. This is what puzzles me, I have changed that line as you say to 1, makes no difference at all, no moon walking. I'm wondering if a new game is necessary after the alteration although I can't remember having to start again before. I am in FreePlay as you...

    Need Help Build14 Tabs not working

    Hi chaps, Back in the room. I have been up to other things like searching for a Leica. It reminds me of owning and running a boat; tearing up money and chucking it over the side. First off Pieter, That coding, as you suggested, is a lot to grasp and although I am not totally 'fik', it isn't...

    Need Help Build14 Tabs not working

    Hi Hylie, When you mention big storms/wind I get nervous. My boat is moored on the Garonne which comes from up in the Pyrenees so when storms hit we sometimes get tree trunks, even whole trees coming down on the swollen river. Mine was damaged three years ago. Same latitude as Lisbon? That is...

    Excellent idea Pedrwyth {crikey, that's a name}, I enclose a couple of zips if they load. The GOOD is the arrival at Nevis. The NBG latest save speaks for itself. I think these are the saves required although it's a little tricky to get accurately. Pieter, You can dump any amount of...

    Need Help Build14 Tabs not working

    OK, I tried deleting Options. No change, tabs still stuck. I tried going back just two saved games before; tabs opened and working. It's not worth carrying on as they always block within a few saves effectively stopping the game. I have just tried opening the working saved game two saved games...

    Need Help Build14 Tabs not working

    Hi Pieter, Yes, I haven't tried that but to start over AGAIN only to be blocked out is galling. I am trying to find GoF Eras to try without that barmy MEGA interference cutting in. Although it's likely on the same game engine it might not notice me...

    Good points Hylie. I see although our systems are about as far apart as they can be you are overclocking past 5 GHz whereas mine is running at just 4GHz so it can't be the overclock I have, given that I have Interesting thoughts on Afterburner as I have an MSI Motherboard. My Graphic card is...
