Hello!
This being my first post, I'd like to thank the makes of the build mod... you really breathed some life back in this old game! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Thank you much!
I was playing with the september 10th patch, but it turns out the beta build is not compatible with that. Oh well. So I started a new game.
A little background:
I used the alternate beginning (sailing away instead of going into oxbay) and ended up on that french island that starts with an "F", next to Oxbay. I wandered through that island making money, and then headed for my ship. It turns out that I had only 0.8% hull left... and was sinking. So I tried to sail into the harbor, and got slaughtered by the frenchies of course. Reloaded the game, hoisted the French flag (I had found an officer on my adventures), and then sailed into the french harbor, getting off just before I sunk. Here is where some of the weird stuff starting happening.
1. I talked to the harbor master fellow standing on the docks there. I had him patch up my ship to 10%. I had the money to pay, so it was fine. When I jump out of that screen, I suddenly got the messages that I had no rum and 2 of my crew had starved to death. So I looked at my cargo hold, which previously had all the starting cargo in it, including about 75 silk, and found that my ship had NOTHING. Is this a bug, or did the french harbor master steal everything while repairing my ship? Also, the 2 crew who starved was weird because I had started the game with only 1 crew on my ship. And when I looked at it after the repair, I suddenly had 60+ crew. I didn't recruit them....
2. Do random people that you talk to steal items from you? I talked to several people next to the harbor master on the dock, and everytime they had told me all they new, I heard the money sound. I looked at my gold and only had 9 left. I assume I pay for the info even without it telling me? Also, I found that I had lost my sword in these conversations... if I don't have enough money to pay, do they automatically take items from me?
3. I walked into the Inn, and talked to the innkeeper. Since it was that particular harbor, he didn't have any rooms to rent me (it's connected to the mansion behind it), so I opted to sleep in the commons room. As soon as I clicked on the option however, the game crashed. I reloaded, went through that dialogue again, and this time REFUSED to sleep in the commons, and the game immediatly crashed again. I don't know if this is a universal innkeeper problem or just this one.
Thanks again mates!
