Confirmed Bug Enemy captains with "Light Repair" perk are unsinkable

[Pieter Boelen]

Nope. Now I'm sure, russian version isn't the reason (just for the info). Could the problem be with files that aren't replaced by NH files after installation? (version of the original game is 1.00, eng, but maybe should try another link)

Nobody has had the time yet to look into fixing this bug, so it's probably still in there.
What I would like to know is if this bug was ALWAYS in the game or if it was introduced by a mod update at some point.

Well, I fixed that. Really was a stupid mistake in text. May I ask, will it be possible to switch between language in main menu options, if I'll create RUSSIAN folder like ENGLISH, that already exist. Because localization that I used before was just in ENGLISH folders (and when switching languge in main menu localization permanently crushed. Half of the buttons in main menu was blank and not only there). So, should I put russian translation files in RUSSIAN folders instead?

Indeed not compatible....


Careful WinMerging required to avoid bugs.
@Homo eructus may be able to give some advice on how to handle those translations.

I really have to get back to the translation one of these days. But it won't be happening for a few months more at least.

Oh dear, good luck with whatever you've got going in the meantime then!

Cool! Than I'll perhaps finish my translation first and get all the glory

P.S. No offence, just simple greed)

There is NO such bug in Build 13 version for me.
Now going to test early 14 version and 13 with update

 

[SanDzash]

No bug in Build 13 update 4 version either

 

[SanDzash]

In early Build 14 version it's already here (the bug)

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Thanks! That narrows it down at least a bit.

I wonder if there are any intermediate mod versions still to be found on the internet...

After having had another battle ruined by this, I'd like to do something about it. And it may be quite easy.

In "PROGRAM\Characters\officertypes\init_officertypes.c", several officer types have this in their definition:

if(isPerkExisting("LightRepair")) {OfficerTypes.(type).perks.LightRepair = 1};

If I remove that from the definitions for various captains (OFFIC_TYPE_CAPMERCHANT, OFFIC_TYPE_REGCAP, OFFIC_TYPE_CAPNAVY, OFFIC_TYPE_CAPPIRATE, OFFIC_TYPE_CAPPRIVATEER), would that be enough to prevent the leveling system from assigning it randomly to enemy captains?

The battle in question was me in a brigantine versus an enemy, also in a brigantine. At this time I wasn't sufficiently advanced in melee skills or equipment to be likely to survive boarding a warship, so I engaged in a cannonfire duel. Once again, I got it down to almost sinking, expended a lot of ammo trying to finish it off, and concluded that the bug had struck again. The only way I was going to get away from there was to board the ship, and of course I got killed pretty quickly. And so what should have been a highly enjoyable and epic battle turned into a game breaker.

Worth a try!
