p.s. If I have a pistol and a blunderbus, I fire the pistol with Q - but the blunderbus ?

Uh? How'd you manage to get that musketoon/musket showing on your back while having another gun equipped in your hand???

:shrug I bought a 3rd ship last night and now all 3 ships have flags and the national flags work properly. But I use my personal flag and they use their personal flag. They both use the same flag too.

Even stranger. Give me a bit longer and I'll post WIP 17. I'm not sure if that fixes it, but some flag-related code was changed a bit, so you never do know.
 
Just thought I'd mention: I again captured that ship that surrendered to Hylie Pistof and assigned an officer.
She wouldn't listen to my "Sail Away" command, but that might be because there were enemies near.
However, she DID listen properly to the "Defend me" command and started following me straight away. So that seems pretty normal.
 
The model Priatnia is using is a Portagee Marine who always carries a long gun on his back. Hmm. How would he look equipped with a musket?

That does sound normal. The only time they will wander off on their own is if they are heavily damaged and are trying to sail away.

EDIT: I recently discovered a small mistake on the fleuts that leaves a rope hanging out off the side of the ship. I have been waiting to fix it until I get the last one, the light fleut of war 34g, and then fix them all. I guess they will get fixed in the next patch.

AH! That explains a lot. That was probably from the days that muskets weren't shoulder-mounted yet. We should probably change that model.

I was referring to the earlier comment from someone that ships don't listen to orders when they're newly captured. :shrug
 
Oh.... and I managed to make the installer download SMALLER than the previous one by decreasing the new interface texture quality from 32 bit to 16 bit.
You can see exactly zero difference and it saves us 24 MB. Not such a bad score, really.

Is that character model the one that Bartolomeu made for his quest ( character model = Navy_musket ) where the musket is part of the character model and not a weapon that can be used.

PLUS! Cartagena should be working as fully operational town. Please try it! And see if cargo and escort quests going there work properly too.

What is still bugged that was working in Beta 2.5? And what content is still clearly unfinished/missing?
Need to figure out what more should be done before we can make the Beta 3 release.
 
Speaking of weaponry, I propose all women to be armed with axes, spades and muskets. Looks crazier than with a fine dagger :D:

My little brother suggested we add a "pan" weapons for the towngirls to carry. :razz
 
Strange; the filesize IS correct. I'm downloading it now myself to see if it works for me or not.

Just tested this and it works fine. :shrug

What about the colony capture mod? If it's possible at all...

It's on the To-Do list. But that is a biggie and has been broken for a long time, so that might have to wait until after the Beta 3 release.
I'll definitely want to have that playable some time though; it's most unfortunate that it doesn't work.
