    Patch

    Although Captain Maggie already has plenty to think about, I want to lobby for the "Missing Locators during Land Battle" bug in the New Horizons scenario to be fixed in the next patch. Here's the thread: http://forum.piratesahoy.net//cannot-hit-fort-cannon-b14-beta1-t15502.html

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    Is it possible for me to rename the thread? It should now be "Cannot capture some colonies due to missing or misplaced locators". Also, who "owns" the locators?

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    Just curious, when will the next patch come out with this fix?

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    "Do you reckon" is something we Americans expect to hear in an Old West flick at high noon. "You gonna draw that pistol, pilgrim? I reckon." :ixi Anyway, I'm glad "missing locators" is on the list of bugs to fix. I'm getting tired of raiding Martinique over and over again.

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    Would you please submit the bug for this? I'm not totally sure how to use the bug tracker for this mod.

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    UPDATE. I changed the condition above to 0.5 and attacked the Santiago fort. I destroyed every cannon I could reach and the fort surrendered. Why did I have to destroy every cannon I could reach instead of half of them? Probably because Santiago is guarded by two forts. However, further...

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    Do I *reckon*? Has 19th century American slang just now arrived in Holland? :(o) Sure, I'll experiment with 50% and work my way up, assuming that I don't have to start a new game when I change this line of code.

    Cannot hit fort cannon (B14 Beta1)

    Playing the "New Horizons" campaign, all fort cannon must be destroyed before the option to land and take the colony appears in the Quick menu. However, some forts seem to have unreachable cannon. For example, my 3rd Class Man-o-War with the default 32-pound cannon was able to destroy every...

    Cannot hold enemy officers for ransom (Build 14 Beta 1)

    You're right. I've been able to capture several officers since my original post. :onya2 Here's a possibly-related issue. Captured officers cannot be ransomed. They can be dueled, murdered, or released at a port of their nation, but cannot be ransomed for money. Why not?

    Cannot hold enemy officers for ransom (Build 14 Beta 1)

    Following successful boarding of an enemy vessel, enemy officers cannot be captured. They can only be killed, hired, or released. In other words, the parley dialog no longer offers the "Enough, throw him in the brig" option. Consequently, the player can take the gold but must hire or release...

    B14 Beta crash on cargo transfer

    Switching off "dynamic" fixed the problem. Thanks! No offense, but I clearly wrote "B14 Beta" in the title of the message. Trying looking up before you look down.

    B14 Beta crash on cargo transfer

    The cargo transfer screen with the animated background always crashes engine.exe. Entry points include: - "Transfer Cargo" option on Ship Capture menu - Ship-to-Ship Transfer By "animated background" I mean the movie of sailors loading and unloading cargo that appears in the background of the...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    OH, you mean enable Arcade Mode from config.exe. OK, I did that, and that fixes all the issues I mentioned. Thanks! Sorry about the mix-up. ;-)

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    No, that did not work. When I sail into the wind, my ship still drifts backwards instead of moving forwards. (I even started a new game.) And, that doesn't address the other two larger problems: can't SailTo if 'too close", and can't fast travel to shops not yet visited.

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    Blown away at first, then I began sailing and noticed some very irritating changes from alpha. 1) Cannot SailTo when ship is "too close". I *liked* being able to do this. It cuts down on time, is very handy, and helps to resolve sea battles faster. 2) Cannot sail against the wind. Again...
