where do you sell excellent quality swords?

[Glabrezu]

i cant sell excellent quality swords, ive got the post 12 build installed
plus dailogue fixes, screwfaces crew, hirecrew, ccc enhanced boarding

i also couldnt find the blacksmith, i know hes been moved from the docks, but i searched every house in douwesson and couldnt find him *i ended making it so he appears in the port again, uh... actually every port...* ~whistles~

also a couple of bugs:

one is in the oxbay dungeon, you go down the stairs and theres that iron barred door that leads to the... uh monastic place, the cellar there... hmmm maybe i should have took better notes
anyway, when you go from oxbay sewers to the greenford dungeon, *maltese knights abbey place* and try to go back to oxbay sewers, you get stuck in the iron bars, to fix this use the side step thing, key a or d

if you quick save somewhere you cant save normally, when you reload you cant move, to fix this you just go to character screen (f2 key), then back out

theres one where one of your 3 companions image changes when you give him new equipment and he dissapears, to fix this you have to change his pic to something else, and hell reapear, no exactly concise notes i know, but ill work on em and pay more attention, im just lazy

not sure if theyve been reported or not, but their all easily fixed ingame

ok thats it, any help on my original issue would be great
maybe tell me how to mod items so i can make the excellent swords sellable myself
if you do that keep it simple or youll give me a head ache

I have fixed the unsellable excellent items in the latest modpack update. Unfortunately, there are lots of other crazy bugs still there.

About officers changing/turning invisible: I know how this gets caused. It happens when you give armor to certain officers. I will fix this in a new update, but haven't found the time to do it yet... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

What version of the Post Build 12 mods are you using? You can find the date in "Post Build 12 Version.txt" in the main PotC folder.

Pieter,

In the new update officers dissaper in the early part of the game in stormy start whether you give them armour or not! It aways happens the first few times you hire them.

the version im using is Post Build 12 Version: Sunday 5 February 2006
but im downloading the latest version from the link you have provided Pieter, so thanks
where is the site for getting new mods anyway?
its a shame im not really clued up on modding, or i could have tried to help with the bugs
i tend to do my own little edits to the game, but its minor stuff really, and just adjusting stuff that already exists
all the, if else => dont mean much to me lol
well ok it does a little, but i have to concentrate real hard, cant make my own stuff though, did like one programming project at college years ago, but it never made sense to me and the tuotor sucked, we all had to cheat *coughs*
uh... anyway thanks for the help, gonna install mod pack update
and id like to say thanks for all the people who make these mods

ummm... just installed that latest mod from your link *Pieter* and now game doesnt work
i reinstalled the game added the build 12 then post build 12, then post build update
but still no go
some runtime error, abnormal program termination
(btw i did run the runme.bat of build 12 when it was installed, the LangSwithEnabler.bat of the post build and then the english.bat of the post update, even run the russian.bat when it wasnt working, eh... any ideas of what im doing wrong?)

You can get mods from the <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.org/downloads/ftp_commander.zip" target="_blank">FTP</a>, from <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.org" target="_blank">my site</a> and from the <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">main PA! site</a>. I try to add in all mods to the Post Build 12 modpack, so you shouldn't need to install additional stuff yourself.

Did you install in this order?
1) Stock unmodded PotC
2) Build 12
3) Run RunMe.bat
4) post_b12_full.zip
5) post_b12_full_upd_30-4-06_full.zip
6) Run English.bat

It shouldn't matter if you installed anything between that, but it does matter if you missed any steps.

If the problem is still there, open up engine.ini and set debuginfo to 1. Then start a new game and show the contents of error.log, system.log and compile.log. Error.log might be missing.

I think I now know why your game won't run. Somebody else had the same problem. For some reason, the store.h file isn't the correct version. Please download the file attached to this post and put the file in the .zip into PROGRAM\STORE. Then try to start the game again.

AHA!
thats the one
thanks for your help Pieter
and just after id just compiled a list of the things that seemed to stop the game booting up
but that fixes em all
still cant sell excellent items, but meh, dont care no more
and i notice the left and right cursor doesnt switch the options in the menus like the fast travel one, but i switched to old controls folder and that fixed that
but anyway
thanks again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

What version are you using now? You should be able to sell exellent items in the most recent one. I deliberately tried fixing that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
I just checked it and, according to the code, excellent items should be sellable.

If you have troubles with controls, set them to default and see if that fixes it.

 

[Glabrezu]

i couldnt sell excellent items because it was an old saved game i was using
and that was the same reason for the control problems, so all is well with the world again
all is fixed
thanks again
keep up the good work
