Cant berth ships

[LordDrow]

Take a look at the berthing code from CoAS. They have a fully functional berthing system. Allows up to 3 ships in each port.

We had that too. Only it doesn't work anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

I have tried to berth ships several times and each time the game freezes.

I go to the shipyard and press F2, click on the ship button, and then when I click on the ship berthing Button nothing happens and the screen freezes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

I have tried on several Islands and the same thing happens<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Exact same version and problem.

Known. Need to fix. One day... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

... one day is today. Please find attached a fix. Not all is working 100% properly, but basic ship berthing is possible.

Enjoy,
Sulan

PS: Includes also my fixes to Eleuthera and RansackOfficer (I'm too lazy to sort them out).

 

[Pieter Boelen]

That's brilliant; thanks very much! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Awesome! I can't remember this ever working before that is so cool!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It did use to work. At some point. Build 13, I think. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

That would explain it I started playing after Build 14 Alpha 8 came out <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Installed it now and will be included in the next update. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

I do wonder if it's necessary to use that ReverseTownName and ReverseIslandName function.
I'd prefer that wouldn't be required, especially considering the original functions will get a lot more complicated soon
with the inclusion of period-dependent town- and island-names. In that case, the reverse function also becomes more complex. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Maybe just GetTownName and FindIslandByLocation would work? Or one of the other functions already there?
There must be a way of preventing a double name-change, right?

 

[Sulan]

I totally agree - I might take those out and replace the functions by a sound basis for handling ports/islands/towns. But that'd have impact on quite a bunch of other files and functions and I was not able to test all the implications.

There's much more redundancy in the code - and still the results are quite different: GetTownName and FindTownName are supposed to do the same (at least as I understood), but they do not give the same results, because they query the data differently.

I just extract it over my game in program files right? Or in a special folder?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Extract to your game folder.

Figures, after I've spent the last 4 hours or so attempting to recode it to work having very little idea what I am doing someone fixes it

Well, at least I can take pride in that I got the islands listing properly on my own before using this. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Congratulations on that then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
