Annoying bug on Build 14 A6

[xzirri]

Hi everyone! how's it going? the video from the capture of oxbay suddenly appears in the middle of the game... i was doing a mission, but i could not continue with it because everything is messed up. when i speak to redmond's governor, he tells me that i must go back to oxbay and gather info about the french. this is weird, because i have done this mission before! and when i go to quebradas costillas, i am "trapped" because nothing happens. anyone who knows what's going on?

 

[morgan terror]

probably because you didn't visit the worldmap early enough, or you visited oxbay at the wrong point in the game. it sometimes happens.

 

[xzirri]

ok, thanks. i know this question don't fit in here, but in console.c, how can i activate that parrot, and can i start with 3 ships?

 

[morgan terror]

parrot?

 

[xzirri]

yes, in console.c


// ************** have parrot follow person **************
/*int findidx = LAi_FindNearestVisCharacter(pchar, 20);
ref findCh, newCh;
if(findidx != -1)
{
findCh = GetCharacter(findidx);
//create parrot
newCh = gGetNewCharacter("Parrot1"); // will overwrite if already a parrot
newCh.nation = PIRATE;
newCh.name = "Parrot";
newCh.lastname = "1";
newCh.id = "Parrot1";
newCh.model = "parrot"; //whatever it should be for these lines
newCh.sex = "man";
newCh.model.animation = "parrot";
newCh.model.height = 1.8;
newCh.activity_begin = "0";
newCh.activity_end = "24";
newCh.location = "";
newCh.location.group = "";
newCh.location.locator = "";
newCh.Dialog.Filename = "enc_walker.c"; // or whatever
newCh.greeting = ""; // or whatever
newCh.rank = 1;
newCh.reputation = "None";
newCh.experience = "0";
newCh.skill.Leadership = "1";
newCh.skill.Fencing = "1";
newCh.skill.Sailing = "1";
newCh.skill.Accuracy = "1";
newCh.skill.Cannons = "1";
newCh.skill.Grappling = "1";
newCh.skill.Repair = "1";
newCh.skill.Defence = "1";
newCh.skill.Commerce = "1";
newCh.skill.Sneak = "1";
newCh.money = "10";
newCh.quest.meeting = "0";
Lai_SetImmortal(newCh, false);
//LAi_SetStayType(newCh);
LAi_group_MoveCharacter(&newCh, LAI_DEFAULT_GROUP);
facemaker(newCh);
float x, y, z;
GetCharacterPos(&findCh, &x, &y, &z);
string nearloc = LAi_FindNearestFreeLocator("goto", x, y, z);
ChangeCharacterAddressGroup(&newCh, findCh.location, findCh.location.group, nearloc);
LAi_ActorFollow(&newCh, &findCh, "", -1); //not follow everywhere because that's for mchar

and i wonder if i can start with 3 ships, because i can't find the ships i am looking for at any shipyard...

i think the 'or whatever's could be a good indication that this isn't finished yet. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> but i've never seen it before, anyway.

 

[xzirri]

ok, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> i hope to see a parrot mod very soon hahaha

 

[morgan terror]

well, if this is some murky mod leftover like we've come across on other occasions it would be pretty neat if this one could be easily finished. we need parrots.

 

[xzirri]

one last thing, can i buy the original black pearl at the shipyard? and if so, how? and how do i change the rarity of any kind of ship? for an example, you can always buy a tartane, but a warship is harder to find.

 

[morgan terror]

yes, as the lineship. there's a chance you'll get a different skin though.

probably somewhere in ships.init. not sure about it though.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

What game version are you using? I observed the French invasion movie at random as well. Not sure why that happens. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
You can't really change a ship's rarity; that's based on the ship's class. Bigger ships are rarer than smaller ships. And class 1 ships are hardly ever sold at all.

i'm using build 14 alpha 6 update 2. i tried to change the class of class 1-ships to class 2, and it worked. but does the class affect anything else than the rarity?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Not entirely sure. Of course if you set the manowar to class 7, they'll be really quite common at sea as well.

 

[xzirri]

that's true, but not if you set

refShip.CanEncounter = false;

right?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Nope; then you won't encounter them anymore at all. Not sure if that's quite ideal though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
