Alpha 14.4 - Comments/Glitches/Improvements

I'm sure the ship you have has nothing to do with it.

The movie playing again and Silehard not remembering past conversations, suggests that the main story quest is being reset. A big bug.

Pieter and others will need to correct that.

I don't think the flag had anything to do with it...I believe I was flying under my personal flag. Anyways I have already started a new game, and that is the point of my next post. Has anyone had a problem with the English governor not moving along the main quest? I have had this happen in the last two games I have started (I usually start over if I get killed), I report the Oxbay settlement getting attacked, I go back to Oxbay and gather info. Then on my way back to Redmond to report, the Oxbay getting invaded movie plays again??? Then when I get to Oxbay to report the governor is still stuck on the 'I am reporting that Oxbay got attacked' conversation. I figured it was a glitch so I sailed to Falaise de Fleur and sunk the Oiseau Barque. Sailed back to Redmond and the governor was still stuck on the 'Oxbay getting invaded' convo. The only thing I can think of is maybe the code doesn't like poor Mr. Hawk having a Class 2 or 3 ship so early in the game? First time it happened I had a Light Frigate, and the second time I had the fortune of confiscating a Lineship that the Dutch forced the pirate into surrendering.

I dunno, I am playing Arcade mode sailing as well. I never thought about changing ships, maybe that is a necessity after a botched smuggling attempt even when you don't fire on a friendly nation that catches you?

I am going to uninstall completely and try a fresh reinstall. Maybe that will fix the problem, because it has never done it before, but it has the last two times I started over. Another question, is Biold 14 Alpha 3 the latest Alpha version?

grrr I hate typos......Build 14 Alpha 3
 
Alpha 4 is the latest version, but it has an annoying bug in it that still isn't fixed 100% in the Alpha 5 version I'm working on. Plus the files aren't available for the moment anyway. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Okay, that explains a few things, I am running Alpha 3. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled and that appears to have done the trick. I have no idea what the heck I could have done to mess my game up so bad that it created the English Governor repeating himself stuff......anyways I just completed the quest and it appears to be fine now after the reinstall.....I will definately get alpha 4 when the downloads are working again

Well...I downloaded 14.4 and installed it...I am having a major issue though.....I can't get to the passenger screen and when I click the button the game locks up and no matter what I press the game does nothing and I am forced to jump back to windows to exit the game. I thought I read about this bug somewhere else on here?
 
Darkphoenix,

Take another hard look at that download thread as I also posted the current fixes to Build 14 Alpha including the passenger fix.

I found the problem...I am a moron LMAO!! I assumed that the Zip's would extract to the correct path in the Pirates directory. A search of where the files were supposed to go solved the problem. Everything now works as it should.....just out of curiousity what did the Silehard and Ketch patches fix?
 
Well ... the Silehard file fixes something when you talk to him. I am not aware of the specifics. I think you can find a complete explanation on the bug tracker.

And about that Ketch thingy ... well I beleive that it was Sir Doober that observed some bad data that enabled the ship to sail worse against the wind then it actually should. Again I am not aware of the specifics. Please search this forum and you will probably be able to find the thread where it was discussed.

All the best
Frans
 
About Silehard: It fixes a bit of an odd dialog bug where Silehard talks utter gibberish.

About the Ketch fix: For some reason the sailing characteristics of the Ketch are different in Build 14 Alpha than they are in Build 13. That is definitly not intentional and this fix file fixes it so that the sailing characteristics are correct again in Build 14 Alpha as well.
 
i've noticed something really wierd with the cutter. the bowsprit is completely messed up. the triangular sials attached to the bowsprit aren't attached to the main mast or to the deck, even worse, one of the ropes goes from the top point of the sail to the deck instead of the top of the mast. the bowsprit itself sin't attahced to the ship at all. there's supposed to be some kind of post where the bowsprit sits in that's missing, the base for the post is there, but the post is gone. and the bowsprit doesn't rest on the ship. it floats above the bow of the ship.

something similar with the fast schooner (or some other schooner type, i don't remember for sure): again the wierd rope bug where the rope is misconnected, but here all the ropes ARE there. and the lower yard for the mizzenmast-square-rigged-topsail is gone (hey, a new word! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> actully it's mizzen-topsail, but that was a bit clearer). is i said, i'm not sure if it was the fast schooner, it might be the ketch.

It's a Petros Shipyards ship. What do you think I think? Amazing of course. Haven't I said so before? I recall trying her out several months ago when I set her as a starting ship option. Sorry if I didn't comment on her before. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />
 
Hey guys, this is a cosmetic glitch and not a game breaking one....I am having shading problems in the dungeons and sometimes in the harbors when close to an island. The floors are really bright, and it is had to see sometimes. And sometimes for a moment (usually when moving close to a wall) the correct shading comes back, and the dungeon looks all.....well.....dungeony like it should.....anyone else have this issue.....I am hoping it is not my video card......
 
I never experienced that. Sounds really weird. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
