Still a boarding bug

T

tcmbmnc

Sailor Apprentice
Boarded a ship today, no opposition, and was locked on the deck.
had to reload my game. (Using the lastest Post build 12 updates)


Also, there is still a problem with the ships surrendering (lowering their flag / white flag) on pirate hunting missions. If you attack them (they will still attack me) you lose reputation. If you sink them you will lose reputation (even though you are suppossed to sink them or capture them) and if you capture them you lose rep. What is the point of having them be able to surrender and still have to board / sink them and yet will lose your rep if you do?

Thinking I may go back to good old build 12 and wait for the bugs to work out.
 
If you don't want ships to surrender while sailing, open up InternalSettings.h and set SURR_GLOBAL_SCL to 0. That'll prevent the surrendering from happening. No need to go back to old Build 12 for that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Yes, thank you this really helped.

The Boarding problem i noticed is not as bad as before the update, the only time I really had a boarding problem so far is on the Enlish Frigate mission that the French govenor gives, evert time i board i crash.

The surrender at sea is a good option, but it really is to buggy for me to want to use. To much negative effect on reputation when doing pirate hunting missions and the dang pirate surrenders before i can board or sink it.

Speaking of which, the english governor stopped giving me missions on my current game and wont reward me for the last mission to sink a pirate. (Did it when i was a LT)
 
I'm wondering if we should set the sink-the-pirate mission ships to "no surrender". Maybe that would solve some of these troubles. Do you sometimes fire at ships after they surrendered? That would cause a rep drop. Boarding them shouldn't though... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
This bug removed now. I checking for more bugs, but looks like mod working fine. Please wait some days for final version
 
Could you please have a look at the latest modpack update? There seem to be a rather high amount of Crashes To Desktops when exiting from interface screens and I don't really know why. If you don't check it, I will eventually.
