    Sao Feng side mission bug

    You wanted to document everything on your own? A noble effort, but probably doomed from the start ;). A reference is not something one person just sits down on and churns out in any reasonable amount of time. It's almost always a team effort. In this case you're working mostly with Akella's...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Seriously? Oh crap...I've tried this out of curiosity on none other than "trace" and it returned 191 results of usage. Finding the one file where it's actually defined is totally infeasible, unless Akella actually at least properly declared prototypes of everything they use in one file (haven't...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Okay then, here it is. Just for completeness sake : the file location is "\PROGRAM\Storyline\LegendJackSparrow\dialogs". Thanks again for the advice on how to go about this. I probably wouldn't have bothered if you hadn't narrowed it down to a reasonable scope.

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    It's a common phenomenon, so common in fact that every CS freshman is all but physically pressured to document (mostly by comments) as much as possible, use meaningful names for all variables/constants/labels (many of those I've seen in the script adhere to this, but those 4 for the priest could...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Thanks for the welcome ;), so far I've been playing the mod for a good couple of hours and find the results of your work quite entertaining. I like to think that most (if not all) programmers are selft-taught. Even those like myself, who majored in computer science durring collage usually find...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    This is just my opinion as a programmer (as opposed to someone very familiar with the mod), but unless you are sure this will be totally fine, then I think the change I proposed runs less risks of later problems. I'll explain this logic below : The case code sections below...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Yeah, after getting some sleep I spared another 10 min. and noticed this as well. The way these quest branches activate and their naming conventions are a bit to non-intuitive for my programming tastes. In any case, from the final conversation with Dominiguez my script flow seems to go to some...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Alas this thread mainly deals with difficulties regarding boarding the Blood - not really my issue. The fight in the captain's cabin happens sometimes, but generally this part seems managable. Apart from de Masse's dialogue terminating eralier than I can expect from the script, everything...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Yeah, tried it directly after seeing the priest in San Juan, then after trying Bernard's (non-plot advancing standard priest) dialogue and even before heading to San Juan to be safe. No dice. Sao Feng semms to have a dialogue set of a governor (offering amnesty, stating international relations...

    Sao Feng side mission bug

    Same issue as above. Tried reloading and playing again from a further save (carrying letter from Jamaica to Puerto Rico). Sinking or taking over Crimson Blood doesn't matter - both lead to the same problem. Might be linked to the fact that the Ammand quest was done before starting Sao Feng's or...
