Quest : Reconnoitre captured Speightstown city

[GinoBozini]

Hey everyone

I am just playing this mod for some hours and started to go on with the main quests

So i went to martinique and went via a other shore to the town, because if i want to go trough the port, they ofcourse attack me.

So I now know what they have in that ship and blablabla

I got the document from that lad and went to the harbor master. He told me that I need to talk to Virgile Boon.
So i did. He tells me '' we need to go now, where is your ship'' and then my char tells him ''euhm it is hidden on a secluded beach'' or something in these words. Then Virgile tells me '' get it to the port so we can leave'' (again something in these words) So I ''fast travel'' to my boat, go on the world map and park my boat in that gap of martinique. When I enter ''sea'' the fort starts shooting at me and i can not moor or go to shore.

So thought maybe i just have to leave the island.

So I loaded my previous savegame and did it again. it started just before the moment i talked to Virgile Boon.
I talk to him again, he tells me again, come to port so we can leave.
In this walktrough there is nothing said about that you have to go back to port, just sail to jamaica. (http://piratewiki.net/index.php?title=New_Horizons_Main_Quest#Reconnoitre_captured_Speightstown_city)

So because I already tried the other way, i fast travel to my boat, hit sea and then go on the world map. I travelled to jamaica and go to 'sea', so i can sink him or even try to capture it.
But there is no ship following me :S

I dont know what i'm doing wrong. How can I get him to follow me or go to port? Is there anyone who has the same problem, or even fixed it ?

hope you guys can help me. I didn't found a similar problem here on the forums so.

So as you can see, it asks me to bring it to him, whereafter i tell him yes I'll bring it to port right away...

I tried to load the savegame before I went to the dockmaster, but that didn;t changed anything

The fort is probably firing at you because you are flying English or personal flag, eh?

 

[Talisman]

When you sail into St Pierre port - you should fly a French Flag - so the Fort won't shoot at you ( change your flag on the F2 - Relations screen )

If you are currently flying a flag that France is hostile to you must sail away from the island ( on World map make sure you are out at sea ) then change flag to French.

If you change your Flag while in sight of island - the original flag will still be used by the Fort to identify you & you will be shot at.

Hope this makes sese & helps.


If this does not work - then go back to a Save before you went to Martinique. - Sail to Martinique ( make sure your Flag is French before you get there ) and you should be able to sail into St Pierre Port and continue from there ( Tavern - meet guy in room - harbourmaster - Virgle Boon - sail to Jamaica)

Haha yes thanks for the info.

While i was searching for a solution I came in those flagg window. Changed it to french and talked to virgil.
Then i saw i could go to his boat and mine. Now I went to my boat, changed it with the barque and all the goods too...
Then went to jamaica and entered his boat after shooting his boat with those things that kill the crew. Only had to kill virgil and finito

Thanks for the information anyway guys, now i know i can ask a question here, cause (sorry for thinking) i thought this forum was kinda dead ^.^

Cheers mates

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Kinda dead? Just slowing down a bit.

 

[Benjii]

The same happens to me. I change the fucking flag to french. Fort allows me to moor, when i leave again, the forts sinks my ship. Then when i sail to Jamaica in my jolly(lifeboat ish thing) it gets sinked by the english fort, haha. Fucking shit mod

A bit less swearing would probably get you a more friendly response. However.

Where were you when you changed flag? If you sailed to Martinique under a British flag, then raised a French flag and sailed into port, someone probably saw you.

Have you visited the island Martinique before during this game, possibly moored at the beach, under a British flag? The fort may have spotted you even though you were outside firing range, and forts remember hostile ships, so if the fort knows you're British, it won't be fooled by your false flag.

Can you try starting from a savegame from before you went to Martinique? Try sailing to open sea, raise your French flag there, then sail the rest of the way to Martinique. If the fort still attacks you, please post the file "compile.log", which you will find at the top level of the folder in which you installed the game.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I Cant moore into the port even if i change my flag far from the island. And i dont have a save before my arrival in Martinique.
Here's my compile.log as you said, if you can do something, thank you.

Hi, your compile.log shows that the St Pierre Fort remembers you as British and therefore will fire on you even if you have a French flag flying. If you have a save on Martinique before meeting Virgil there are a couple of other way of completing this bit. Amiel in the tavern may do it for you depending upon your conversation with him and your reputation etc or you can just kill Virgil Boon in the port - beware of other people though.

Hope this helps.

P.s. you could also get amnesty from the French governor as well.

Or get another ship that they don't remember.
