battle type

Ahoy Dudes!

´Got a Question...

Is there a posibility to change between "dynamic-" and "tactical battle" after gamestart? Searched the data in the "Progam"-Folder, but nothing....

I think that this can't to be made...

gonna check it tomorrow, looks like 'tis possible, no guaranties though

ok, looks like tis would do the job:
1. backup saved games (just a precaution)
2. open "program\interface\option_sl.c" in text editor (backup it just in case)
3. find "void SaveSavedOptions(ref gopt)" function and edit it, so that it become like this (only one string added, marked with <<<<):

void SaveSavedOptions(ref gopt)
{
string sFileName = "options";
if( CheckAttribute(&PlayerProfile,"name") && PlayerProfile.name!="" ) {
sFileName = "save\"+PlayerProfile.name+"\options\options";
iArcadeSails = 0; // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<============= 0 - Tactical mode, 1 - Dynamic; applies to new saves only
}
SendMessage(&GameInterface, "lsa", MSG_INTERFACE_SAVEOPTIONS, sFileName, gopt);
}

4. save/close editor
5. launch game, load your game, open ingame options screen, press ok/apply, save new game, quit the game.
6. basically that is all - newly created savegame is in 'tactical mode' now.
7. revert changes in options_sl.c.

ps/
imho would be best to do this manipulations while on land, since changing global variables while they are used (in sea/battle) can lead to unexpected results
pps/
no guaranties: i didn't test it (i checked that cannons start reloading 3 times longer, but there can be somthething else)
if you'll loose your savegame, it wouldn't be my fault, so back them up.

Edit the options file in the main directory using wordpad.
Look for your profile at the end of the file and change:

startgameparam.playerprofile=JackWolfe
startgameparam.playerprofile=JackWolfe
startgameparam.mod_skill_enemy_rate=6
startgameparam.bhardcoregame=0
startgameparam.brechargepistolonline=0
startgameparam.iencountersrate=2
startgameparam.iarcadesails=1 <---- Change this to 0, if you want real sailing
startgameparam.herotype=Corsair
startgameparam.nation=0
startgameparam.curheronum=12

startgameparam.mod_skill_enemy_rate=6

startgameparam.iarcadesails=1 <---- Change this to 0, if you want real sailing
startgameparam.herotype=Corsair
startgameparam.nation=0
startgameparam.curheronum=12

Are you sure that this works, have you tested it? And what do you mean by "real sailing"?
Also can anyone tell me the difference between "dynamic" and "tactical" and how to change from "tactical" to "dynamic" after gamestart?
