Fixed Muskets Misfire

[Hylie Pistof]

It has been my experience that muskets misfire in short range situations like boardings so I quit passing them out to anyone in the boarding party. Has that changed?

What do you mean by "misfire"? There is an actually intended "misfire" feature that applies to certain weapons, but I think that does NOT affect muskets.

You probably mean the effect that muskets would refuse to fire properly in boardings.
If I recall, we traced that to occur when characters are loaded into a location with their sword already drawn.
Is that what you are referring to?

All code related to that has been 100% rewritten months ago in the specific hope to fix that.
As far as I understand, it should now work. So please do try! If it still doesn't, then we need to know about it.
Can't fix much if we don't know it isn't working right.

Did you ever get the chance to try this? I'd really quite like to put it to rest for good.

Since then I have given a musket to certain officers and I can remember no misfires. I simply forgot to mention it.

Thanks for confirming. Very glad to archive this one after all!
