    Profiles and the Stormy Start

    Thanks! 1. Clearing the saves AND the "options" file DID work! 2. Hehe... yes, I am playing the Iron Man Mode! I thought that doing so I won't miss any of the DirectSail experience, and gain a larger Archipelago. Already got to my Tartane around Bonaire, but what the **ll I should do there...

    Profiles and the Stormy Start

    Yar! 1. Profile and Quick Save I don't know if I have messed something up here, but I'm unable to do the Quick Save (F5). It says something like "Quick Save FAILED [...] Profile not ACTIVE". I admit that I first started the game with the default profile name "Player", then adjusted some...

    The Boardgame

    Hello! Still watching the progress, great work! You may remember me as a one-time contributer for those boarding and bell sounds :) As I with my stubby PL/SQL-programmer's fingers can't give you anything else, in tribute to your endeavour, I've started to make a boardgame based solely on...

    Error with DirectSail + Real Weather

    I tried the latest Build Alpha, but there was such an enormous lag throughout the game that I couldn't take it and went back to the "safe" Build 13. As I re-installed the Build 13, I realized something embarrassing. The crash/lag which I originally referred to was caused by my own sound mod...

    Error with DirectSail + Real Weather

    Thank you Hook, your answer was really helpful! I've been ignoring the Build 14 so far as I've been afraid of even more crashes, but it sounds like I should give it a try. I'd understand the lag when big ships fire, but I've been experiencing the lag also when a) there are only neutral ships or...

    Error with DirectSail + Real Weather

    I was having a lot of CTDs before I discovered DirectSail mod. Boy, that mod is the final touch to the game, just the thing I needed! Above all, I didn't have those "World map to Open sea" crashes any more. Then I was getting tired of those too random weather changes, and installed Maturin's...

    Sea battle sounds

    I was thinking that "Fire" -thingy myself; It would be realistic to have an officer shouting "Fire!" before the cannon blow. But I realize now why there is no vocals in this game; It must be because it is very time-consuming work to do the vocals for <u>every</u> nation that is represented in...

    Sea battle sounds

    Thanks for the suggestions, Thomas! If I'll just expand my vision... There wasn't a band in small ships; they were usually aboard higher ranking officers and bigger ships. So... if the Player ship class < let's say 2, it would only play a salute by drums and whistles; if the class is higher...

    Sea battle sounds

    I came up with a thought that when <u>neutral or friendly</u> ships pass by each other at sea (when not in battle), they would salute each other by playing a national anthem of the neutral or friendly ships in question. My question is, what should these "anthems" be? I doubt that the current...

    Very well. Thanks, Pieter! This (attachment) is the latest version of the "Prepare for Battle" sound. Please tell me what you think!

    Sea battle sounds

    Thank you all for your support! Pieter: I can't really say why that sound did not play for you, unless you are missing some browser plugin. It is not, however, very much of a sound: it just plays ship bell ringing two times like this: "bling-bling"; you can very well imagine it! It's just there...

    Sea battle sounds

    Just to let you know... I have made a code that rings ship's bell every half hour, as it was done for real. And not only the same sound all around, but a different one depending on the current hour according to this table (the lower one)!: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship's_bells"...

    Sea battle sounds

    I have managed - with much appreciated help of Pirate_KK - to make the "boarding" sound play when the grappling hook appears. Now all I need is to do is to make a new sound for it... I'm progressing slowly, though, as I don't have all the time I would like to have... But, progress is made, in...

    Sea battle sounds

    Thank you very much! And much more so because it is just a quick "beta" sound <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Unfortunately I don't know where I should put files for download, I first thought that the...

    Sea battle sounds

    Thank you! Besides the sounds, I'd also like to know the names of some traditional (read: popular at the time) sea chants (or shantees). PeterWillemoes gave me this idea, it would really create atmosphere if - from time to time - the crew would be caught singing. Especially at evenings when the...
