Try this: Open PROGRAM\Worldmap\worldmap.c and set MAPSPEED 1.0 at the top of the file.

BTW: Any chance you could change your username? It means something very unpleasant in Dutch. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Setting it as default in the Builds might be a good idea too, as I remember having to re-set my final version manually <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
... remembering the good guidance, which in my case would imply crediting you both, I really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

Petros found those issues after the release of Build 13 Update 3 and Build 13 Final. This fix <i>will</i> be included in any future updates though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Ahh, but who actually <b>"found"</b> the fix/workaround? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Didnt' see your last post. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />
 
You did, of course. You want the actual fix copyrighted? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Well I've noticed in the Build, sometimes when things are rolled to stock or some other value, coders put their initials. Seems when someone tests a game so many times, finds a bug, and retests a work around so much, initials would be nice.

// Petros, reset back to stock value

or something like that would be nice ...

along with the reset back to stock 500 in the
#define MIN_ENEMY_DISTANCE_TO_DISABLE_MAP_ENTER

which I spent so much time on and no one knows it.

Is this meant to be unstable at other values? FWIW I have it at 1500 and haven't had any issues.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Guys build mod 13 crashes too much<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

While I'm new to the POTC game, I've played at least 100 hours of 13 and 14.6 with no crashes. The only problems were two bugs that required starting new games.
 
If MIN_ENEMY_DISTANCE_TO_DISABLE_MAP_ENTER is too high, you might end up in a situation where you leave port, but can't go into map sailing mode, because there's enemy ships <i>at the other side of the island</i>.
 
Tnx it works better with mapspeed 1.0 but somethimes its crash but not so much anymore <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
