To Giuliootto - your post suggests that you have corrected the "stuck on boarding" issue - is that so ?
If you have can you share the mod for others?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In attached the code that should solve Boarding problem (and maybe empty chest).
I didn't really made a fix but just take from Build14A4 and Build14A5 parts of code that are involving Boarding and chest.

Hey Giolotto! I think you might have zipped the wrong files here Matey?
Every single file in your zip is <b>identical</b> to the same files in B14A6? No new stuff and certainly no old stuff from B14A5 and B14A4!

Thank you for trying to fix these issues and for all your great quests (which I have yet to try).

Please verify that the files in your zip are actually the files you intended!

All the best
Frans

I encountered the stuck-on-boardings bug as well with Alpha 6. But I think somebody has it fixed now. I think both Giuliootto and Maximus made a fix now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

To Short Jack Gold: Chests in taverns? I didn't know there were any. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

To HawkerT: I just checked the mutinies and I have had no problem with it whatsoever. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

When I sail into a port, go to my ship's deck, then walk to the "boat" reload spot to go ashore, I get a black screen. When using Fast Travel, it does work. Do you have this same problem? Perhaps it's fixed now. I haven't checked it in a while.
Edit: I just tested and I don't seem to have this bug anymore. Nice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I am not aware of any quests Giuliootto made. Don't you mean Bartolomeu o Portugues here? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

He's probably talking about the chests in the rooms where you spend the night. Wait, you never checked the chest in the bedrooms? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

For this mod do you need to manually replace files - or does it update automatically?
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->#define DECK_VIEW_ON_SEAENTER 1
// Decide where camera should start upon entering a ship
// 0: Stock PotC, external camera
// 1: Camera on ship deck<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This is what caused CRASH TO DESKTOP on sea enter in my game (im using B14a6).I have changed <b>1 to 0</b> and never had any crashesh ever since.
 
well, then you should turn the autoskill mod and the realistic cannons mod on as well, as that will decrease the number of crashes as well. but i think that they are already turned on by default.
 
Well i have autoskill mod off and real. cannons on and no crashes since i turned off the deck view on sea enter.
 
well, i think it has to do with b14a6 additional. that add-on has a few problems that can be solved be doing that.
 
I've been playing B14A6 for the past few hours without any substantial issues, though I am here now because it crashed to desktop upon leaving Isla Muelle to worldmap. I did notice the missing weapons locker on boarded ships and inability to loot surrendered captains I kill, but I rarely partake in such looting anyway (too lazy).

Since I'm typing... the French governor gave me a quest to sink or capture an English corvette harassing the colony, but I can't seem to find it. When I go to sea mode and check 'sail to' there was a pirate corvette and an English manowar, both of which I captured (too easily), but still no English corvette around the island (Flaise de Fleur). Any ideas?

Also, I received a Letter of Marque from Spain (and only Spain), but never any quests. I have a relation of 1 with Spain; does it need to be higher to get quests from the governor, or what? How do I raise it? Attack Spain's enemies?

Thanks.
 
Oh, yea, I forgot to mention the one bug I do find annoying. Everytime I load a new area (from town to tavern, for example) the gun reload bar clears and begins to fill back up as if I had fired my weapon. This kills getting off any first shot in boardings especially, since it loads and I have to wait 25+ seconds for the bar to reload to shoot.

Anyone else have this problem, or any solution?

If it matters, I have the BuildSettings as...
#define CANNOT_RELOAD_WHILE_FIGHTING 0
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> turn on the weaponmod for your character,
this means you have to stock up on powder and bullets!
Not to be confused with the Weaponmod for your ship!

the quests from a governor can be gotten any time. the bonus from having a letter of marque is that you will get land awarded at a certain point which brings in some cash each day. just sink the enemies of that nation and the relation should increase.

the pirate corvette is the one you need.

You were correct; the pirate corvette did the trick. Apparently the dialog/quest log are wrong telling me to sink an English corvette, and it didn't update after I captured the pirate corvette, so assumed it was unrelated.

In other news, I have a couple more problems.

1. CTD when sleeping in a tavern twice, even if I leave the tavern and re-enter it, game crashes.

2. For some reason corpses are no longer remaining for me to loot; instead, they disappear upon death and auto-looted. No clue why this happened since originally it played as I wanted it (setting 4, corpses are lootable, don't hinder movement, corpses remain after looted), but I did the F11, F12 business after turning WEAPONSMOD on.

3. Guns for all characters are still reset each time I load a new area; not even the NPC enemies fire guns at me, probably also waiting for their guns to load. Guns are made worthless now.

I think I will reinstall everything and see if these problems persist. I'll let ya'll know.

By the way, I have been installing as followings, all Builds from Pieter's website:

1. PoTC
2. Build 12 Full
3. Build 13 Full
4. Build 14 Alpha 6
5. Build 14 Alpha 6 Additional
 
well, some say that you should install build 13 update 1 and 3 as well. maybe that makes a difference. nosie has the link to update 1 in his sig. for the rest, it's fine. although i'm not entirely sure wether installing update 1 and 3 would actually make a difference.
