What still REALLY needs to be addressed and fixed? Other than Cartagena, that is?
 
Well, I deliberately held off on this one. I don't even think it requires a New Game. Just press F11.
 
Well, I installed WIP 11 and F11 it and it seems to work except for one small error. There is an item in the random chests and I now have it. In fact when looking at the logs there are all sorts of new and interesting things in them.

Huh, strange. Perhaps it is one of those JRH quest items that are removed now. It could be that they were still half-initialized in the savegame.
If you end up starting a new game, let me know if it happens again. :facepalm
 
I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but the crew does indeed use meds. They seem to prefer the cauterization kit and there is something strange there. When a crewman gets killed and I loot his corpse I can not take any meds. That stays behind, but weapons goes.
 
I noticed too that I couldn't loot Cauterization Kits. NO clue why; very strange. o_O

And indeed I added the required code to make the crew use medications. They didn't before.
Thanks for confirming it works.
 
Ayup. New game required. I get no errors now.

EDIT: One thing that needs fixing is those dam women at Tortuga! :rumgone They are killing me with one slap. Clint Eastwood could take lessons from them.

:rofl
They aren't even using ANY weapon for that at all. Not even their fists!
I don't even know why or how it is applying damage. Seems three of them is indeed near-lethal on low character levels.
Not so much on higher levels though. Perhaps it'd be enough to just restore the player HP after each slap?
 
I know it's funny enough without damage. But WHAT code is DOING the damage? I'd remove it if I knew where to look for it.
But this is the line that does it:
Code: 
LAi_ActorAnimation(TortugaDame1, "attack_2", "Dame_1", -1);
That's just playing an animation; no damage involved there.
But apparently the game "knows" that an attack should do damage or something. I'm just adding this after:
Code: 
LAi_SetCurHPMax(pchar);
That way at least your HP will be restored. Whether it does so before or after the attack, I'm not sure yet. But at least you'll survive.
 
It's not funny at low levels. One slap is lethal. I wuz killed twice in a row with one slap each time. Now I stay far far away from those women. They are too tough for me! :ko

On another note, those cursed coins are too common. I got another one. Can one find that certain island without getting that certain bosun first?

And what's up with that compass overlay in the upper right hand corner? I thought that was fixed a year ago.

you got a point here, it would make sense to have other ways to find it. And if you are already cursed, maybe you should have access to it without that certain object?

With one slap even? Not funny indeed.
With my new change, your HP is set to max right before being hit. I've been able to survive right at game start now even on Adventurer difficulty.

You have to talk to that certain bosun, but you don't have to hire him. That is optional.
There's no other way. Do you reckon there should be?

The rarity of those coins hasn't been changed. Sounds like you are being unlucky.

I thought so too! Did it myself and the code to do so is still in place in BattleInterface.c:
Code: 
void UpdateCannonInfo()
{
    ref mchr = GetMainCharacter();
    int rgqty = GetCannonArcQty(mchr, 1);
    int lgqty = GetCannonArcQty(mchr, 3);
    int fgqty = GetCannonArcQty(mchr, 0);
    int bgqty = GetCannonArcQty(mchr, 2);
    string srgqty = rgqty;
    if (rgqty < 10) srgqty = " " + rgqty;
    string slgqty = lgqty;
    if (lgqty < 10) slgqty = " " + lgqty;
    string sfgqty = fgqty;
    string sbgqty = bgqty;

    if(!ShowScreen) // PB: Hide together with the rest
    {
        srgqty = "";
        slgqty = "";
        sfgqty = "";
        sbgqty = "";
    }
    
    SendMessage(&INRGuns, "lls", LOG_ADD_STRING, true, srgqty);
    SendMessage(&INLGuns, "lls", LOG_ADD_STRING, true, slgqty);
    SendMessage(&INFGuns, "lls", LOG_ADD_STRING, true, sfgqty);
    SendMessage(&INBGuns, "lls", LOG_ADD_STRING, true, sbgqty);
}
Even so, I HAVE seen it occasionally since. But why, I really don't know. If you see ANYTHING consistent about when it crops up, let me know!
Or if it is a consistent problem now, upload your savegame and I'll have a look.
