Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

[VanessaHudgensFan]

I've been waiting for this as I fell behind.

You're not the only one who was waiting for this.

I only missed my name at the fix of the Bannerman bug, if I'm not mistaken I was the one changing it in the files Pieter, we've fix it together haven't we

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Easy VHF, there is plenty of glory to go around.

 

[Levis]

Thanks Pieter!

 

[Elrapido]

Please use these files instead the ones elrapido provided. I fixed the problem he had.
I need to look into it a bit more but this will at least solve the problem of bar fights (tought I fixed it already) and the sittings guards also sometimes wanna play a game with you .

Great job, Levis!

Thank you very much.

 

[Levis]

It still has a little problem if the guard is sitting on some spots you will sit in mid air but I will fix that later.

Btw I've added a link to the WIP installer on the first post so people can find it easier.

Okay, I'm sleepy now and confused on to where to post so I'll just put it here, in general.
*Yes, the boarding not showing up icon is confirmed with the latest version: (This is the best position where the icon should appear)
*Another, the crowded and random spots of soldiers and civilians in the tavern is back: (Can't get the item from Gibbs w/o killing the other one)
-some civilian/soldiers take your spot too when gambling that makes a weird effect like this one
*And who's this dude in the City Hall of Port Au Prince? (There's not even an assigned dialog for him)

 

[Pieter Boelen]

*Yes, the boarding not showing up icon is confirmed with the latest version:

Going in opposite directions, eh? That's not going to help.
You need a high boarding skill and/or a certain boarding ability to be able to make that work.

*And who's this dude in the City Hall of Port Au Prince? (There's not even an assigned dialog for him)

Which storyline is that?
He DOES have a dialog file assigned, otherwise he would show an error message stating "No dialog file assigned" or something.
It is just that he's got nothing to say....

 

[Hylie Pistof]

The ship is going 19 knots too. That is waaay too fast for boarding. That would be like trying to jump from one moving train onto another train going in the other direction.

Yes, forgot to mention. My boarding/grappling skill is 10 and I even have all the boarding abilities.
But indeed. I got it working the other way around:
But still, got me struggling a bit:

La Croix storyline.

EDIT: My bad. Yeah, those struggling parts were not a problem. The ship was going too fast like @Hylie Pistof suggests. This time its 21 knots!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

La Croix storyline.

Ah, yes. That is a story character.

EDIT: My bad. Yeah, those struggling parts were not a problem. The ship was going too fast like @Hylie Pistof suggests. This time its 21 knots!

An old style sailing vessel going THAT fast? Holy crap! That is TOP SPEED for most modern cruiseships.

By contrast, in the TV show Black Sails, there was a ship chase where they were doing 6 knots (less than 8 km/h) and needed at least 7 knots to make it.
That's realism for you! Dead slow realism.

 

[Levis]

Indeed it is .
Will take another look at those characters. You can always exit the location and enter it again.

Playing the latest updates,

The soldiers in the taverns are still provoking fights did I need to start a new game. I did hit F12. second I seem to recognized a lot more than ever before.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

From what I understand of the code, the fighting soldiers do still happen, but not always like before.

When you say "recognized", do you mean you false flag at sea or are you still referring to those soldiers?

you must have done something wrong then or pieter didn't include the random_guards_group_dialog.c in the modpack cause there is no way they can provoke a fight with you.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I confirmed that the latest installer DOES install correctly. And I have your changes there in my game. So that wouldn't make sense.

What date do you have shown in your main menu, @Jason?

Walking around town usually armed citizens.

You know my men draw blades first. What is that about?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Walking around town usually armed citizens.

THAT recognizing? Wow.
That only happens if you hoist a false flag close to enemy ships. Doing that marks you as a traitor.

19 knots is definitely too fast. I know the Black Pearl is supposed to be fast, but even she should not be able to do 19.8 knots in a 14.1 knot wind unless someone fitted her with an outboard motor.

On the other hand, this is a game based on a film involving pirates who are normal by day and skeletons by night, an indestructible ship and magic cursed coins, all of which appear in the game. And we're talking about how realistic a ship's speed is and whether it's realistic to jump to another ship while moving at that speed.

True. Though I have heard that it IS possible for sailing vessels vessels to go faster than the wind in some conditions.

Apart from some storyline content and a couple of jokes, our modpack has always aimed for realism.
The Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the game though, but not excessively so. Perhaps DavyJack modified her files; she likes to do that.
