Im new here.

I installed the PotC Build Mod 13 Final some weeks ago.....it is working fine, without many bugs....

but i recently downloaded and installed the filmships in the game, but i cant find the filmships in any shipyard.

For the Wicked Wench, Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman, i placed CanBuy = true, but it didnt seem to work.

Maybe i didnt installed the filmships pack right....

Well, that was the first thing i did....

anyway, i pressed F11 (i found about its command in a post) and i managed to buy a Pirate Ship that is the Black Pearl or the Wicked Wench, i dont know....

I will search more now, to find the Flying Dutchman and buy it
 
Unfortunately, i didnt find the Flying Dutchman to buy yet.....

also, i guess i found a bug in the main quest.....when i have to run away from Oxbay with the agent Tobias, the French soldier stops me at the gates, but he wont say anything and i just stay there, standing in front of him unable to make any move.....i can open the main menu and the character menu though
 
I found and bought what i believe to be the Wicked Wench....

but i still didnt manage to get round the bug of the quest im doing. I traveled to Redmond and just returned to Greenford and bought the Wicked Wench. Now i will return to Oxbay and try to continue the quest again, if the problem still be there, i scream.....really.....like an AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
 
Do you have a save before that happened? I know there's plenty of people who managed to play the main quest in Build 13, so it should be just a one-time fluke and trying again it might work.

BTW: In Build 14 we will have a character who can sell you otherwise unbuyable ships, such as the Wicked Wench, Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman. Should be simpler. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Yey! i will be waiting for the build 14 \o/

Thats the greatest problem! I usually overwrite the saves, keeping only four or five slots of saved games.
I do have a save where im in the tavern with Tobias, before we have to run to the Shipyard, i didnt want to overwrite this one due to the quest problem. So i kept playing, leaving Tobias alone in the city. The problem still remained so far, but today i will try again and see what happens. Maybe after a whole month out of the island was enough for the bug to be fixed? Who knows? :p

Yo! Just wanted to tell that i now have the Cursed Pearl, the Normal Pearl, the Wicked Wench and the Cursed Dutchman. So it logically means that nothing is wrong and that my question here can be ignored. I just hope that i can find the Normal Dutchman.
 
Alright! I am back to Oxbay (and got the treasure from there finally <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />), but the bug is still there. Can anyone help me with this? Maybe if i edit something in the BuildSettings or something like that, but i hardly know what to do.
 
i've met the bug once. the only way to fix it is to start a new game, for as far as i know.
 
well then, i will forget about sinking the Black Pearl of the game then.....i will see what more i can learn in the build mod 13 and then i will restart the game when i feel it is time to do it ^^
 
Possibly we could figure out a console quest command to get you through this part. If only we knew exactly what was wrong. Can you please tell me what is the last quest case you did succesfully complete along with any additional information on the circumstances of the bug?
 
Uhm...that is hard. I dont remember which quest i was doing. I guess the "Strange things in the Archipelago" was the last secondary quest i completed. Then i had only the Blacque family's quest and the treasure quests that were already impossible to finish. At the moment, i have only the two treasure quests that i cant finish yet, the Blacque's family quest that i dont have idea what to do to continue, but will see that later and the main quest of Redmond.

In the main quest, everything worked just fine, but when i run with Tobias and the french officer to the port, the soldier that stops me on the gates just stand before me and i cant walk foward or backward, neither i can turn around or speak to anyone.
 
What I do know is that sometimes taking on a lot of side quests during the main quest tends to mess things up. I don't really know why. It does seem to work better when people play just the main quest. In any case you can <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">enable error logging</a> and show us the contents of the genrated system.log, compile.log and possible error.log when the problem occurs.
 
Yo, i started a new game and i want to buy the HMS Surprise, but i dont see the code "CanBuy" in the Ship_init file.

Can i buy the ship even without that code there? And how will i identify the frigate? I mean, the black pearl appears like a cursed pirate ship or a pirate ship. The wicked wench is a merchant ship and the flying dutchman is a ghost galleon. What is the HMS Surprise?

And i will enable the error logging, but i have no idea of exactly what is this....
 
If you clicked my link, you will be told how to do it. As to what it is: it's a mode where things, such as errors, are logged into compile.log, system.log and the possible error.log so that we can look at that and possibly figure out what's wrong.

If a ship doesn't have the CanBuy code, it gets the default CanBuy value, which is <i>true</i>. So you can indeed buy her. She's called a "British Frigate" in the game. If you ever want to find out ingame names, open PROGRAM\SHIPS\ships_init.c, find the ship you want to know about and look at the refShip.SName value, then find that in RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\ENGLISH\common.ini.
