Hello, I carried the search bu without result so I decided to create new topic.

The problem is that after I build store I cant talk to it, it looks like dialog starts and ends imideatly making store unusable. Also because I cant talk to it I cant scrap it either.

Is there easy solution to this?


FUN FACT: After capturing class 3 ship with my lugger (yup "Victory") I checked it and it turns out that its "Hooker" class. After I read that I wanted to rename ship to "Whore" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .
 
Can you describe your problem a bit more in-depth? Which game version are you using; Build 14 Alpha 9.5?
This is with a store you built yourself, right? Do you get a "Can't load dialog" error message?
Do you get to see the dialog interface at all? Or do you press the "dialog" button and just nothing happens?

"Hooker" can also mean "A small fishing boat", which in this case it does. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
Yes its Alpha 14 9.5 , I build shop just outside of Portugal town. When I press F3 interface disappears just like initiating normal dialogue but then at instant interface reappears, no "Can't load dialog" message nor dialog window opens. I also tried pressing and selecting Talk but with same results.


EDIT: Same goes to normal house ("House 11" NPC)
 
I knew that building actual buildings might get glitchy; I think you might have to make your own dialog for that one.
 
Indeed, the construction kit is only a basic mod, with an explanation of how to add new stuff built into the starter dialogs.

Cap'n Drow
 
Still, the house owners should be saying SOMETHING! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Indeed he should, in previous versions everything worked correctly. Its not that there is no dialogue but dialogue window dosent even open, despite that it looks like it tries.
 
Im definitely sure it worked in buld 13 (along with its patches), but dont remember clearly how it was in build 12 (its LONG time since I played that version). Also in first 14 alphas it worked (but I didnt played much, there were too many bugs). So the problem is not that construction kit is basic mod as it DID worked before, its problem with House 11 NPC dialogue, as every other buildings I can create work correctly.
 
If possible, I'd like to know since what Build 14 Alpha it stopped working.
 
I dont know correctly since I tried only first two or three 14 alphas (and I played them only a little) then went back to build 13 and then took a long brake from PotC. Recently I remembered about build mod and I instaled 14 aplha 9.5.
 
They were before alpha 8 thats for sure (it was 8 where sparrow storyline was added and there was Pirate_kk version, right?). However its was so long time ago that I dont remember if I even build house or shop, so I cant help you here, but in build 13 it definitely worked.
 
Ok; thanks. There was indeed a Build 14 Alpha 8 WIP 2 PIRATE_KK version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

No the NPC is "solid" as normal ones are, he doesnt takes damage similar to your crewmembers so I cant destroy that shop.
