Hehehe. Ayup! That's my problem when exiting Antigua using that ship.BTW: How do you even sail around with that ship of yours? She manoeuvres so quickly I tend to hit those cliffs at Antigua!

'Now trying the update..
I have been a bit under the weather for a few days and might have missed an update. I got the ones from 9-9, 9-12, 9-13, 9-14.
Just played for the first time in a bit. Sailed from Alice Town, Eleuthera to Sao Luis, Barbados. Sailed around Barbados ok but when I tried to save it CTDed. Twice.
EDIT: It appears I can not save at all now. Is a new game required?Last edited:

A problem I am having is the storm's radius when in world map is much too large. Visually, you have no idea you are even near a storm and so you exit to sail and behold, you are in the midst of a tempest of hurricane proportions without nary a warning. It is quite frustrating.
True that. The storms have gotten larger lately. While on the world map watch the upper left corner of the screen for the storm icon and don't enter direct sail while that icon is showing.
That is no guarantee that you will not get dropped into a storm anyway, but it reduces the chances of being caught in a storm.
I had that problem before. Yup, new game required.
sorry, downloaded and then installed it using the new installer
I wished I knew when. Maybe a week, maybe two?
You know what I WILL do, though? When the public release is made, I'll only post a full installer to the ModDB.
However, I WILL post an update here on PiratesAhoy! so that anyone using the Beta 3 test version can upgrade to the final release.
So that means you can get the current version now and you won't have to re-download it all when the public release is made.
Good idea....?
AGH! Now you get that problem TOO!?! Try deleting your options file and moving all files out of your SAVE folder.
That seems to have helped with the other people having it. Then if that works, see about putting the saves of game you were playing before back.
I wouldn't think a new game should be required; though that will update some stuff that needs updating.
That doesn't make much sense; I'm pretty sure the size of the storms hasn't been touched recently. Maybe not even EVER.
Unless the problem is that even if you DON'T see that "storm icon", you are STILL reloaded to a storm. That I have indeed seen myself as well.
I suspect the reason for that is the rewritten weather system that is capable of generating storms without the worldmap doing it.
This is required to have storms during DirectSail, but has the side-effect of potentially causing storms any time you exit the worldmap.
It should be noted that the chance of rain and storms depends on the month. September and October are the worst.
So if you're having a LOT now, continue play for a few game months and it should get less again.
That can't be installed correctly:sea.c is included in the file I uploaded yesterday and it no longer refers to BOAL_Deck.c because that file has been renamed.Code:COMPILE ERROR - file: sea_ai\sea.c; line: 13 can't load file: sea_ai\BOAL_Deck.c
Just for the sake of it, can you check your PROGRAM\Loc_ai folder and see if you have a LAi_deck.c file there? That is the new version of that same file.
If it isn't there, that is proof that the new files didn't make it into your game folder.
How exactly do you do that? I get error messages when I use the "raise location" button.
okay, well, sounds good pieter, thanks, are all the CC mod fixes in the latest test version?
Everything except the Marigot one; will post that tonight.
okay, I'll download the main files and then download the update archive when you apply the marigot fix.
Sounds like a plan.
Out of curiosity, has anyone encountered and successfully captured a Spanish Treasure Fleet carrying gold and silver yet?
I'd quite like to know if that works properly!
Also, if you hoist an enemy flag close to ships, do you get the "being recognized as a traitor" dialog in that nation's towns?
In an earlier release, this happened a bit too frequently. I gather it happens less now, but I'd like to know if it DOES still work?
And are there any problems left with any of the random quests types like Escort Quests, Trade Quests, Treasure Quests, Ship Hunting Quests, etc.?
I decided to start a new game and found problems before I could even start the game.
Specifically, in the select character section many of the pictures do NOT show the character accompanying said picture. For instance, here is a French soldier without goatee accompanied by a picture of a Spanish soldier With goatee.
I can not even find my favorite character at all anymore. It appears he has been replaced by a character I have never seen before.
1 Open the locatorfile with the TOOL
2 Scene\Edit scene
3 click on "Red01_l" or what it is called
4 click on the top middle button over "Move to position"
5 change that value to -100 for ex
6 press "Move to position"
7 Save Gm
8 namechange the file so the _x disappears.
If it doesn't work send it to me.
The description may say French, but that is one of your personal soldiers, not an actual French one.
Used to be French in the stock game, but not anymore.
Your preferred character model is "Offic_fra_16". That is technically a Spanish Main French officer and therefore is only available in that time period.
I'll remove the period check from that character model in the next release though; especially for you.
Then you CAN use that one in ALL storylines.

I'll try the new update just dont want to start new game yet. I only missed the 2 newer minor updates that deal with capture colonies. Its not an older game its update to september 6th or so. It might be some odd random glitch but can negative values like -2 come up on the store goods sale interface??
Not supposed to be possible. But you never do know.
POTC is known to be bad at math, so it is not surprising. When I see negative numbers pop up in the store I leave immediately because trying to fix it gets all kinda stuff sold and you have to start all over.
AWWW..I'm touched. I like that character mostly for the grey hair, but also because that is the best version of that character. This one is lower rez and the shoulder strap is backwards. Plus the waist is too narrow and it looks like his diaper is full. But he has that cool bowtie! Mine is blue.
There is another good one but I always wear a hat and that one has no hat. Hmm..Now that I know how to swap heads........ -
