Yes. I end up on the ships. Most times on the deck, but a couple of times, I fight through all decks
to the cabin, no captains on the deck and no captain in the cabin. So I ended on the ship,and could
not leave it.
 
Here is a savegame to illustrate it. The ship just surrender and I am on my way to board it.

Strange ... I will look into it tonight ...
I know the captain did appear in the cabin before when fighting .. I've seen them appear after my mods
 
This behavior goes only for Escorted Merchant ships, and for single Merchant ships I have seen it too.
Not for Navy Ships, and I think not for Pirate Ships to.

Not for Navy Ships there is no problem with them, Pirate is fine too I quess.
 
Have you ever persuaded a navy ship to surrender? The problem would seem to be with the captain after the ship has surrendered, but you said that you fought the whole way to the cabin on the navy ships, which means the problem with the surrendering captain would not arise. Navy ships are less likely to surrender because their initial morale is higher, but it can happen. Close in and pound it with grapeshot before trying to board. If you have one of the better two types of spyglass then you can see the ship's morale, try to reduce it to "Awful" or "Treacherous" before boarding.
 
@Grey Roger There seems to be some misunderstanding about this.
It goes for the Ships whatever they surrender or not: No captain!
Edit: Im talking about Merchant Ships, not Navy Ships!

And again : I have no problems with Navy Ships at all. Only the Merchant ones!
 
@Levis: How can there be a difference between merchant and navy ships? A ship is a ship, right?
Or does your new system make a very clear distinction between the two?

there are a few references to fantomtype but it shouldn't make any difference so I really need to place traces to find out what is happening
 
If someone maybe @Tingyun or another could try to board an escorted Merchant ship,
the confusion will be over, we could see if it is only me having the trouble ,or if it is a general problem?
I must admit it makes me nervous and a little angry, not to be understand, and we can not have that.
I know I have only few word to my disposition, but I try hard to explain me self on English.There is
a bit of an curmudgeon in me too, I try to turn it down, when it comes to me. Right now I almost
want to skip the case. Sorry but it have to come out.

@ANSEL no problem, I first missed your edit of post #5 hence I was a bit confused. I now understand your problem. I just don't get how it is caused XD. I can't access my game now. I can only do that tonight. But hopefully i can find the solution then.
 
@ANSEL please place this in ..\PROGRAM\Loc_ai

it seemed in some cases the locators for the location weren't there yet. They where created later, so the captain couldn't be placed. By changing the order of some functions it now seems to work. Please confirm this though
