Nigel Blythe Quest Problem

[Doober]

I don't know if anyone else has had this bug, but when I go to Dowesen with Nigel, he engages a privateer in battle, after he wins, I go to the dock and have a swordfight. When I put to sea again, I have an additional ship called "error" that doesn't appear on the radar, Nigel also just stays standing on the pier anytime you return to Dowesen. Anybody have any idea on why this would happen? It makes it impossible to continue the quest. (Out of curiosity, what is supposed to happen next?) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Ahh, my problem was when I attempted to capture Shaggy Gary ship, it surrendered upon boarding and there was no captain on board, everything just froze. I attempted it several times. I eventually sunk it because attempting to board always caused it to freeze. I had to fire Nigel because it was messing everything up. I will have to try it again sometime. Thanks, Skull!

Probably using Build 13 beta.

It's got that "talk to the surrendered captain" code and some reworked boarding code.
I guess it hasn't got those special "quest ships and/or captains" worked out yet.

Thanks fer info Petros, Nigel Blythe is me favorit quest and it was buggard in the stock version. So this probably is a bug then fer build13 beta <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Petros is right, I am using the Beta, which I am absolutely in love with <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> I had to give Nigel the ole heave ho. I shall try it again sometime as the part I played was a lot of fun. (and much more entertaining that the Artois quest) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Somebody please post this on the Bug Tracker. This needs to be fixed. IncredibleHat should know how to fix it in no-time. I will also check it out once I get home again (I'm at school at the moment). If I remember, that is... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
