Weapons and armor for your crew??

[bremg]

I've got this little question.. Is it possible to give your crew armor, pistols and swords??
With crew I don't mean the officers..

In a word ... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

In the captains cabin there is a "Weapons Locker" where you can deposit swords and armor for your boarding party to use.
Single shot pistols and musket as well as powder and shot can be deposited and used by them.

Specific settings can be enabled in the "BuildSettings.h" file.

This is a known bug which has appeared with the latest update. As far as I know its not related to the weapons locker nor is it ship specific. I think it might have something to do with the new decks code. Pretty sure somebody's already having a look at this one.

I am going to look into the bugs today. I finally have time again.

The no crew on boarding bug might have got something to do with the bug where you change in the enemy captain. Have you noticed that happening? Did it happen before or after that?

BTW: I don't think you need to put ammo into the weapon's locker. Your crew automatically gets it.

Does armor get applied to the officers if you give it to them??

When I give them the crappy armor that causes a movement penalty (-1 melee) thiers does not get effected as mine does. So I question whether or not they are really wearing it.

Or is this just a glitch where they are equiping the armor but the stats effects are not applied to them?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

For some officers, the armor shows on their skin when you give it to them (mostly the new officers). Those characters do wear their armor properly. However, sometimes weird things happen, such as officers becoming invisible! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Okay, it is very nice, that you can give weapons to your crew, but I don't know how to do it. Shame on me!

How do I access the weapon locker/captain's cabin? Is there a certain key I have to press? Can I get to the weapon locker only, when the ship is at sea or when it is anchored at the shore/port? I have never ever seen my captain's cabin after the first scene in Oxbay. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

How much weapons do you put in the locker? How much weapons make sense according to the number of crew-members boarding with you? How many crew-mates do actually join you in the boarding?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

To go to your cabin, you have to be in sailing mode. Press "Enter" and you will see a menu, with one of the options being "Cabin". If you use that option, you will be transferred into your cabin. You can use the same trick to get back into sailing mode again. In your cabin, there is a weapons locker somewhere (depends on the ship you're sailing). In your cabin, you can also talk to your officers during battles and, for example, give them new items or tell them to sit out the next boarding. You can also store stuff you don't want to lose into your chest. On boardings you should have about five sailors with you to fight against the enemy. However, this does not always seem to work properly in the Post Build 12 mods.

Thank you, very much!

I put my action key on Q and the hot action button on spacebar... with the Q-key it didn't work.
