Looting Bodies

[SuoiveD]

The only problem I seem to have with the May 25th Update is that I cant loot the bodies after killing any one.
I used to be able to do it before installing the latest Update & have even compared the Build Settings that I saved before installing the latest Update & I cant find anything that wouldve made this task impossible.
Is there something I've missed or is there something I need to change to make this possible ?

The message I get now says " To speak with dead bodies of enemies ?! ... You Name is Hamlet , maybe ? "
Now I never got anything like that before when I wanted to loot a body.
I used to press space bar to loot or has another button been assigned to looting ?

Other than that the Mod seems to be functioning pretty well so far...

The "O" button is for looting. The spacebar is for talking. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Thanx Pieter,
now for another annoying problem,
when I'm in any store I cant buy any goods for my ship,e.g. Wheat,Rum,Sails,etc...I can sell anything but when it comes to purchasing it wont let me select the amount.
In this SS I am holding the RHS Arrow down and I cant buy any amount of goods.

Any Ideas on this ??

I thought I knew how this got caused. Maximus recently changed something in that interface screen. I thought that was the problem until I found out I didn't add those changes into the update. Now I don't know why that happens. I'll try figure it out though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I even built my own stall & it still doesnt work,so in order to keep up with wheat,rum & sails I'm raiding ships until I can make enough wheat & rum from my farms & distilleries.

I'll go back through the previous setups & see what was changed & see if the problem can be rectified.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Hey all, im using the 25th May update also and i have the 'cant buy from stores' problem; i found this really annoying as my crew keep dying and i had to capture ships for food! However i discovered if you navigate the buying screen with the arrow keys i.e. up, and then right and left, you can alter the ammount of product you want to buy, and then you can click 'buy' ~ works for now as a temp solution.

I also noticed that the game seems to lock up and im back at the desktop with an error report once in a while, i have only noticed this in battle and at random, (both sea battle and sword battle).<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Quoted myself from the other bugs thread as it is a temp solution to the problem.

Tried you suggestion on buying items and it works really great. Thanks for advising us about it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Thanks, Captain Vaughn. I will give it a try.

Maximus figured out what was wrong with the store interface. Commenting two lines will fix it. I will make a fixed version today and upload it.

BTW: The Auto-Buy button does work, so your crew doesn't need to starve. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

Thanx Capt Vaughn, that works nicely.

I also changed the Food per Crew in the Internal Setting h to ;-


#define FOOD_PER_CREW 0.001 // qty of wheat eaten per day per crewmember

That way with a crew of 1053 I can buy 800 Wheat & it will last me approx 1200 days.

Please set the controls to default in the options menu. Maybe that fixes it.
