Black screens....

Weird stuff. This is all happening to me, now, too. Not the black screens, but the missing locations. Emrep, glad you have a handle on this... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Wonder what's causing it. Maybe Mad Jack or Alan Smithee will know.

Arrr! Alildo is the name not Alido.
Sorry Alildo, there was a little fault in my brain. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

@Cat: Yes its funny. I have thought about to take this little chap as avatar. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

I like that little chap, he's like a Napoleon pirate! <img src="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/images/avatars/6924389741fa594341ec5.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
Indeed. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

But the sense of the whole thing is that he will be demoted after his proud. (i think)
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-emrep`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(emrep)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Yes, the Blacksmithmod seems to be responsible for that thing with sword1.gm.
My sugestion is to give PotC what it needs, because i can't reproduce these errors to look why.
Create a folder resourcemodelslocationsOutside<b>Jungle_9</b> and copy all files from folder resourcemodelslocationsOutside<b>Jungle_5</b> into.
About the sword1.gm, take the missing files from Blacksmithmod and copy them to that path where PotC them wants to have.  :mm[/quote]

Heads up on the missing swords in the Reims quest.

I got the same problem in not being able to load Camilo Machado's house.

It required files Sword1.gm, sword2.gm, sword3.gm and sword4.gm!

The question is, why is the improved Blacksmith storing swords in Camilo's house? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />
 
I think that's because the modelname of that blacksmith house is still like the original. Maybe, that the modelfile is selected by name for loading, but the file that is selected by name "MH02" is that model of blacksmithmod within links to sword1.gm, sword2.gm...
If i think, i remember that character modelnames have to be different too. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
I'm going to bring this to the attention of Alan Smithee, he's the one who put the expanded Blacksmith mod together. Hopefully he'll be able to get a fix in to me before we release the next update to B12! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
tsk, this is all my fault, I'm sorry mates. I left in way too many references to locations I'm still working on and the files for which only I have, for now. The changes should all just be textual, no models; I will track down all the errant location references and eliminate them.

Though I don't understand this thing with the sword... In the blacksmith download is a model "sword1.gm," besides a few others, that should all already be in the same folder with each blacksmith shop model. I don't see why they'd affect any other locations.
 
No worries Alan <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

C'est la vie! No? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
C'est la what? heh. So here's the fix: Open the conceico.c location file, find the code section for that house, and delete the bits calling for the sword, gun and cannon models. They're all "model.always..." bits, three lines of code per model, I think 18 lines in all. I'll have this fixed in my next update.
 
Okay, Alan, I've got another one for ya, it's your "Heart of Darkness" mod on QC... I walked down the path and found myself in the Heart of Darkness - and the screen faded to black... And I thought, "gee, no kidding!" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Heh... I had to reset my game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Kindly clean up these stray pieces of other mods when you submit something for release! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> It won't go onto the CVS server or into the B12 update unless it's been cleaned and passes inspection! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

The way I keep things straight is to have a separate folder where I save all my modded files - I test on my TEST game, and I also have a clean install of B12 for backup if I need to replace something. It helps keep things organized, anyhow. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Sorry Cat but the "read" of that just creates such a funny mental image <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

It was pretty funny... I mean, really. There should be something like that somewhere - as a gag! (thought it was a gag, at first, LOL!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> BUT you have to be able to back out of it, or it's not that funny anymore. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/slap.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":slap" border="0" alt="slap.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
That -would- be funny for in a cave...

and then it's all just text messages: "you are in a cave. there are exits to the south and west. you see a troll..."
