Did you use F11 after the code change? It might even require a fresh game possibly?(yeah i know that won't help this particular game much...but well we are beta testers! unloved and ever suffering!)
 
Errr. Umm. The first one ctd'ed at the first screen. The 2nd one ctd'ed after a minute of play. Nope, I did not hit F11. :facepalm I will try it again soon.

I'm working on class 1 ships now and will use this game for that as long as possible. It might be time to start a new game in this install, or upgrade another install with these items. It's hard to both mod and play test because I forget what has gone where.


EDIT: I tried setting it to 128 in 2 different installs.

In one as soon as it finished loading and it got to the game the screen froze and the hard drive went into overdrive. Alt-cntrl-delete was the only way out. No F11 was possible.

In the other the game started ok. F11 worked. Then I tried to save and it ctd'ed. Every time. It also left a bad save behind, so it looks like a new game is required.

EDIT2: New game required. The game with L_S's sound pack in it is working ok. He will be pleased to know that I am playing that one again. Hehe. It's hard not to type LSD. Always liked that stuff.
 
Sorry about that. Replace with:
Code: 
//	string groupname = "Directenc"+rand(100);
// PB -->
string groupname;
if(CheckAttribute(rPlayer, "DirectSailEncounterGroup")) rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup = sti(rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup) + 1;
else rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup = 1;
if(rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup > 20) rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup = 1;
groupname = "Directenc" + sti(rPlayer.DirectSailEncounterGroup);
// PB <--
 
I can't say why yet, but when in direct sail "sail ho!" and "strange sail" messages no longer result in a ctd.
 
it works now. don't poke it or it'll break again. xD:

i hope i can find the time soon to get back to the game, since this sounds like some really sweet developements. not to mention that it needs more testing.
 
More testing! Yes! :keith


Testing is over. The Lab Rat has died. :ko Long live the Lab Rat! :drunk

With me taking all kinds of side quests and generally wandering aimlessly all over the map while working on dozens of ships this install still managed to complete the main quest and it just kept on going. I made Spanish Capitan General, Level 35 and Captain skill3! :keith

I made a merchant run from Sao Jorge to Marigot. Got there fine. I'm almost half way done with La Licorne and made some changes. That's where it died. I could not go from land to ship without a ctd, and then the install refused to even start. There's not enough logs to even figure out what is wrong. I guess it's time to start digging though the rubble and move the "ships" folder and some other stuff to another install.

Onward through the fog! :rumgone
 
Sure. It barely gets to the black screen with the gold coin in the lower right hand corner before it ctds.
 
Wow; that really DIDN'T get far. What if you remove the "options" file? And if that doesn't work, empty the SAVE folder? Does it start then again?
 
Aha! Oho! Hee! Hee! Hey! Hey! Woo! Woo! Whee! Whee! :mi :mi :mi :mi :mi :mi :mi :mi


It's Alive! :warr It wuz the options folder. :j3

Mucho whole buncha thanks Pieter. :bow
 
I'll bet it was thanks to all that random crap which seems to compile at the bottom of the options file over time. I wish we could stop that from happening. :modding
 
I will try to remember that for the future.:dance


Two steps forward and one step back.................... The "sail ho!" ctd is back. :facepalm
 
hey, this may be random, but one of the experimental features on patch 6 does not work (the one where the shopkeepers remain in their shops at night) just wanted to let you all know.
 
Oops. I missed your post. :eek:ops

The lab rat is being very inconsistent now. For instance, I sailed to Bonaire and everything was fine. I left the game to tinker with a ship, then restarted at the dock and went to see what the changes looked like and ...ctd. The logs said it was the kind where an island drops out. So I restarted and went and did the trade and repair stuff. When it was time to leave everything was fine. 3 times it was fine. :8q

Then I sailed to Havana with a cruise by Eluethera. Land ho and sail ho and it was ok. Got in a battle and it's ok. The next land ho...........ctd. Here are those logs. I hope Cuba is still ok. Oh, I'm up to level 37 now! Also, this install does not have more ai slots made because a new game is required and I'm not quite ready to go there yet.


Jonty: I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. For me they stay in the shop later, but not all night.
 
Code: 
All slots in AIGroups are used, need to resize array!!!

DAMN! Even when using only #4 it still doesn't work. Is that with the code changes I did?
How many different DIrectSail encounters have you had in that game so far?
 
Like I said, in this install the ai groups are still set at 64, not 128 or higher. A new game is required and I'm too wound up about the thing still running at all to stop. I'm at level 37 and the year is 1702. 12 years! :mi :shoot:

How many direct sail encounters have I had in this game? :shrug Hundreds?

Hmm. If you are getting all wound up maybe it is time to retire this game and start over. :nerbz That way the extra ai groups could be implemented.
 
Are you using my original code modification to cycle between AI group numbers for the DirectSail encounters?
If so, you must've had at least several cycles of successful encounters before it went wonky.
