Ship Berthing Problem

Talisman

I have 6 ships berthed - all on Shore leave

4 at Port Royale, Jamaica
1 at Charleston , Nevis
1 at Sao Jorge, Grenada

I managed to relaunch 2 of the jamaica ships and berth another one there - everything working OK :onya

I went to Charleston shipyard and tried to relaunch the ship there - this failed.

The ship that was relaunched was the one at Grenada, :shrug

The Nevis screen now shows no ship berthed

The Grenada screen still shows the ship berthed there but you cannot do anything - all the buttons dull except the Back button

So the Nevis ship has disappeared and I now have 2 versions of the Grenada ship, one in a sailing companion slot and one apparently still in Grenada. :facepalm

Perhaps I should have realised something was wrong earlier - while all 6 ships were berthed all the captains of the ships appeared on the character screen (F2) except for the captain of the Nevis ship - he disappeared as soon as the ship was berthed.
 
I have played through trying to launch the Charlestown, Nevis ship again with the same results.

I have also noticed that the same person is listed as the captain of both the Nevis and Grenada Ships, and some of the details of the ships are the same when they should be different (Crew numbers - guns - cargo )

I have done a sequence of screen shot which might help explain things better than words. :hmm

1- Ship at Nevis
2- Ship at Grenada

3-Ship at Grenada Detail
4-Ship at nevis Detail

5- Launch ship to slot 3
6- select new Captain

7- Launch confirm

8- Result at Nevis
9- Result at Grenada
10- Result at Grenada -ship details screen
11- Resulting Ship Screen (F2)

New error logs are also attached - hope this helps
 
Thanks for reporting this; I asked Screwface to have a look at this.

This effect is not a bug, it is a normal thing because you can only do things with berthed ships when you are in town where they are berthed. I think it would be unrealistic if you could relaunch a ship who were at the other side of archipelago and have her as companion as soon as you'd go to sea. After all, we are in XVIIIth century, communications and trips were not so fast :rolleyes:

I'm currently working on fixing all others weird effects and i think i probably found their source :doff
 
Screwface sent his fix to me. Please try with attached file in PROGRAM\INTERFACE .
The fix is not included in the latest Alpha 10 WIP file yet. :facepalm

No, in the Patch 4 the kam_shipberthing_ship.c is directly in the PROGRAM folder, that's since the alpha 10 WIP that it has been replaced in the INTERFACE folder :shrug
 
Thanks for file :doff

I downloaded it and went back to an old save and tried to launch the Charleston ship - still got Grenada ship. :?

This time the Grenada screen still gave details of the ship as though it was still there.

I will start a new game, see what happens and let you know :sail
 
Try this one instead. It's for Alpha 10 WIP 7, though if you use WinMerge, you could put it on 9.5 Patch 4 too.

That's not surprising ! I think weird effects are irreversible with save game just because your officer who was originally in your Nevis ship has been "erased" and replaced by the one in grenada ship or something like that !
 
Success :dance :bow

I started a new game, berthed 4 ships at Port Royale, then berthed 1 at Charlestown, then 1 at Sao Jorge, Grenada.

Then I went back and successfully relaunched the ship at Charlestown, got the correct ship and all the screens show correct ships info. :cheers.

Only 1 small problem ( you knew there had to be one didn't you :yes )

- When I berthed the ship in Charlestown the officer I made captain disappeared from the character screen (F2) all the other captains still appeared as normal with the little anchor at the top of their picture.

On relaunch he re-appeared ok.

I have attached the log files if you are interested - they cover the whole game from start to successful relaunch as I managed to play the game in one attempt without quitting. :sail

I used the file attached to Post 5

This problem is also fixed by files attached in post 8. All captains will appear and you will even have right and left arrows which were previously missing with berthed ships captains :onya
