    Thankyou! and Ship Berthing

    I know it's from last month, but, from what I remember, this forum tends to travel rather slowly, anyways...the reason that a square rigger will not make best speed at 180 degrees to the wind is due to the fact that the mizzen sails will tend to occlude the mainsails, which will, in turn...

    Ship Classification System

    The only problem with your "historically accurate" classification is that it isn't quite... Ship rating varied dramatically across the periods that the game covers. Eg: in 1666, an 80-gun ship would be classed as a First Rate, but no such ship would even be considered for that classification a...

    More Gun varieties

    Just brainstorming, here, but would it not be feasible to "borrow" from Freelancer and add a "grouping" system, whereby, for example, the key "1" corresponded to the upper port guns, "2" to the mid port guns and so on and so forth, and when pressing the "fire" button, only the selected battery...

    Tweek to save in combat?

    If you can enter the world map, you should be able to save...

    Can't sell ships?

    I get a similar problem occasionally, but only when trying to sell class 6/7 ships. Anything larger seems to go easily. As for removing captains (and thus scuttling the ship), it seems rather random as to when you can and cannot do that, so I have not experimented much with it...

    Can't sell ships?

    What ship are you trying to sell, exactly?

    Collisions/Positioning

    I would have to disagree, as I have had frigates run underneath me (cutting off all their masts-rather amusing...) It's the ones that sink next to you that seem to cause the problems.

    Collisions/Positioning

    Ships which I have noticed to be problematic so far (note: it's not the easiest thing to test, as collisions require 2 ships, so I don't know which ones are the broken ones...): 1st rate Man-o'war 3rd rate Man-o'-war (the variant with 4 bow chasers, very broken, also has lots of problems with...

    Would someone interpret, please?

    I'm getting crashes every time I try to use potions (enter-use item-crash). Error file is as follows: RUNTIME ERROR - file: utils.c; line: 2283 Invalid range RUNTIME ERROR - file: utils.c; line: 2283 Invalid range RUNTIME ERROR - file: utils.c; line: 2283 Invalid range RUNTIME ERROR - file...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    Just a small niggle...when spawning the ships for the ship hunting quests that governors give, is it possible to make sure that they don't spawn far enough away to initiate a jump to the next island when you sail to them? I've been chasing ships across the Guadeloupe/Antigua border for a while...

    Collisions/Positioning

    Is anyone else experiencing problems with collisions occuring when there is no possible chance that the colliding ships actually made contact? I've had things run into each other while at least a pistol shot apart. The involved vessels tend to spin uncontrollably, move sideways and suffer from...

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    Replaced all 6 files, and a newly purchased Dutchman ("Cursed Galleon" variant) works as advertised. However, trying to add the "Flush Decked" upgrade results in the game crashing. Intending to test other ships shortly.

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    Maybe the incredibly thick, heavy hull is preventing the cannon crews from opening the gun ports (they're not strong enough...) Considering the fact that you have to pay 1 million+ for the cursed ships, and all you really get in return is that stupidly high hull (plus some odd sailing...

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    How much HP does "cursedutchman" have when added via the console, then? She seemed to do reasonably well against 2 frigates, a 3rd rate and Speightstown fort (lost an inperceptible amount of hull before I ran out of powder...) Which looks similar to the values given by the shipyard...

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    Ok, now I'm totally confused. If I add the Dutchman via the console, along with crew/officers/ammo, it works fine, and I get a nice broadside. However, if I buy it from Vanderdecken (same save), and buy crew/ammo myself (admittedly, not with a full, all skills 10, complement of officers...but I...

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    From what I can tell, the ships experiencing this issue are (named as per the buy interface when dealing with Vanderdecken) "Cursed Caravel, Cursed Pearl, Cursed Galleon, Ghost Galleon, Cursed Corvette". All of which are, notably, "magical" ships, and all of which have excessive amounts of...

    Unique Ship Cannons not Firing AND Vanderdecken Buyable Steamships

    I am experiencing a similar problem with the Dutchman and all but one variant of the Pearl. Pieter's console file is, usefully, the model that works for me...but, even replacing the Pearl there with the Dutchman results in the solo cannon fire. The files I can view seem in order, but I have no...

    Build 14 Beta 1

    I can't seem to get the stern chasers to work on any 3rd rate. It gives the "fire" sound, but no guns actually fire, and no ammunition is used. All other guns seem to work fine (including chasers on other ship classes).

    Flags! Doh! Knew I was missing something obvious... As for the rum thing, it's taken no matter where you store it (I'd hope the goods in my second ship was sold as well...I didn't bring them along to look pretty...), didn't know Trustworthy Lad let you buy the illegal goods (something to look...
