Starting with USS Constitution problem

Hi guys.
I use Age of Pirates 2 with Gentlemen of Fortune mod in 2.0 version with 1.4 patch.

I wanted to start the game as Jack Aubrey and I wanted to change his the first ship from Sophie to USS Constitution but I noticed huge problem. I spent a lot of time on playing in the new save and once I noticed that when I go to the shipyard, the price of my ship ( and other ships I buy ) is 0.

I edited RPGUtilite.c file, I write how I edited it below. Anyway, I had made a copy of an original file before and when I use it, everything is fine.


Well:
I opened RPGUtilite.c which is in character folder by using note pad.
Then, I found this line:

ase "luckyjack":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_Sophie, true);
pchar.money = 6000


... and edited into it :

ase "luckyjack":
pchar.Ship.Type = GenerateShip(SHIP_USS_CONSTITUTION, true);
pchar.money = 6000


The first ship was replaced by USS Constitution. Everything works fine except these prices.
I wouldn't see any problems but the price applies to all ships and each ship could be sold for 0 gold.


When I edited it from USS_CONSTITUTION to _Sophie, everything is fine, the prices works fine and problem doesn't exist.

Nobody knows?

I most certainly do not know what is happening. Possibly De Zeeroovers do know.

Sounds like a coding issue somewhere. But I am not even remotely familiar with the CoAS ships code.
All I know is that it is very different from PotC.

When I try to replace it by Surprise, there is still the same problem.

I'm not familiar with the mods, but your issue may be here:
Go into Age of Pirates 2/Program/Ships and open the Ships_init.c
Find your ship and change the price line to the same amount as you did in the RPGUtilite.c file
Incidentally these are the base stats of the ships, which you can modify to you liking.
Bear in mind if you change stats for a generic ship (exe Corvette) ALL such ships generated in the
new game will use the same modified stats, not just the starting ship you get.

I tried to do it once and it didn't work. I also took Surprise and it didn't work. I did the same thing like in GOF 1.2 but in GOF 1.2 it worked.

Anyway, it was 2 months ago. I began the new game without any editions. I just took katana saber and 2 million of gold. One million is at moneylender at Port Royal ( when I'll have to buy warship ), another one million helped me to imporve experiences of my crew.
