    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Excellent work Pieter. I shall be making a new save with "Beta 3 WIP 8" and will report back if any problems/CTD's. (was getting bored with my last save anyways). If there are issues with Smuggling I may well find them, as I will be doing it day in, day out! (when not working ;) ) Roll in the...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    I found that the game doesn't crash if you do the following: - Save in front of the smuggler (new save for safety's sake). - Do the deal with him. - If guards storm the beach, reload the save until you get a good "chance roll", which means no guards storm the beach. (I believe luck may affect...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    I must note again, I was and have been able to transition to Sea when no Coastguard discover the little cove, after the transaction with the smuggler has taken place. So it is literally only when the Coastguard are triggered that the transition to Sea results in a CTD. It is a useful...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    I have ditched Sampson Pinker for Amy Bencroft. (Fired him too in case) Bought ebony in Pueto Rico, sold to Nevis Smuggler. Went to sea and same CTD. Possibly it is more than the Coastguard captain I captured. EDIT: Uploaded save at the beach without Sampson Pinker. (JeanLafitte folder...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Just had a CTD by trying to change captain of the ship from Sampson Pinker to Amy Bencroft. This was on the beach in the ship transfer menus, using the Nevis save I had uploaded.

    Sampson Pinker, I did not change his name. Captain of a ship. I also have Gibbs (woo gibbs!!). Captain of a ship. And in my bin: Amy Bencroft

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Yes, as soon as I could afford to buy out peace with all nations, I began smuggling. (early on in my game). You know what, I think I may have done this. I recall capturing a captain in a british outfit (who is now one of my fleet captains), I recall the dialogue being a little different than...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Could be this. However I have been friendly with all nations when I ran smaller quantities of smuggling goods with smaller ships without CTD's. I keep wondering whether there is a multiplier on goods depending on how many I have smuggled, which perhaps spawns more ships. I shall try with less...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    I have been using the fake flag thing a lot, but stopped doing it after a while. I did try setting myself to pirates before doing a smuggling run, but the crash happened as per normal. Just like when I have my Personal flag hoisted. I am not sure if I have been recognized or not, but my...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    :grin As a trader(smuggler) I got fed up of being attacked.. so paid the respective people in Town Hall after I made some money. Hmm, try perhaps changing the disposition of the character temporarily? such as the code that would be called upon hoisting the flag of a different nation?

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Awesome detective work sir! Sounds like recreating Coastguard generating code could be a future milestone, perhaps there are quest-related ship generators that could be tweaked for such a thing? Hopefully I can maybe help with the mod in the future.

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Sure. I believe the encounters are random and you can tell if the Coastguard will trigger if the troops storm the beach right after trading with the Smuggler. So might take some re-loading/waiting on map. Thanks for checking this out and still supporting the mod. EDIT: Save was under the...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Hi Pieter, Tried it again with a higher amount of goods, Ebony this time, sum of which was around 1.4m gold. Same situation crash. This time an "error.log" was created. error.log compile.log http://pastebin.com/pGUfajRW As you can see at the bottom, the errors have significantly...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Perhaps there is a modifier somewhere that just keeps scaling up the coastguard. However in the meantime I shall make a point to increase my Luck (might reduce the occurrence of coastguard AI). If I am making Smuggling runs of >200k (likely to be 1-2million now with my bigger ships) I shall...

    Solved Smuggling CTD and Friendly Enemies???

    Hi Pieter, Indeed smuggling is getting me rich! Rather risky though. (Been blown apart by the coastguard more times than I can remember!) I am wondering whether the issue lies in the following (compile.log): Perhaps there are ships that aren't loading properly, perhaps due to the larger...
