How to steal the Intercepter (Jack Sparrow Storyline)

Ahoy,

got a little question. How can I steal the Interceptor? I sailed to one of the beaches but nothing happend. I also cant board the Interceptor...
Can anybody say how to steal it? In the chat Jack says "Sail to the beach on the other site of the island" or something.

Thanks!

P.S. I used the search but didnt found any solution!
 
This is after the Port Royale scene from the film, right? You're supposed to be able to board her.
 
It depends where you were and how you went to the beach.
When you leave Port Royale - use direct sail - the Interceptor will follow (for a while) when you are far enough away from the port raise the pirate flag and fire at the Interceptor - she will surrender fairly quickly.
HOWEVER, if you don't do enough damage on your first shot she will run away and you will have to chase her. She will try to lead you back to the fort (so that can fire at you) so you will need a little bit of sailing skill to try to cut her off.
 
i have finally worked out how to steel the interceptor by boarding it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
except i cant port at tortugea, after i steel the interceptor i fly the pirate flag and head for tortuga
except the fort shoots and sinks me every time and i dont know why, i fly the pirate flag i have black sails my relationship with pirates is neutral at -1 or 0, does anyone know why they wont stop shooting at me??? after all im playing as jack sparrow, A PIRATE.

please help
 
And so it is; needs to be looked into. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
if a ship sees you with an hostile flag and fires at you (it doesn't matter for you fire back) their fort always shoots at you... for example... when you're sailing with english flag if a pirate ship fires at you then you can't go to tortuga any more... and tortuga has no shore, you can't go there by land either...
 
True; that's what happens when they don't "buy" the flag you're flying.
You can easily tell if this is the case by the log messages you see upon entering 3D sailing mode.
 
the problem is when you board the interceptor you can't reach the norrington diologue... when you punch norrington in the port royal... he begins to sit and get up all over again... and he continues when the interceptor surrendered and can't speak with you... that's a bug who drives me crazy... please check it out...
 
In your POTC directory goto: PROGRAM\Storyline\LegendJackSparrow\quests and open quest_reaction.c and then find the line in case "the_pirates_leave":
// LAi_type_actor_Reset(characterFromID("James Norrington"));
and get rid of the // and Norrington will stand up

You shouldn't have to... you will need to load a save game before Will gets you sent to prison though
 
yep, i tried... norrington stopped to sit and get up again instantly... but still doesn't speaks with me...

same file but this time in case "Turner_and_me_take_ship2":

// Characters[GetCharacterIndex("James Norrington")].Dialog.CurrentNode = "First time";

and remove the // again
 
i thank you very much for your help but i checked and there's no // at there... any different solutions?..
 
Had to install a fresh copy of build (mine has been edited a fair bit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />)

add these 3 lines just before if(AUTO_SKILL_SYSTEM) in case "Turner_and_me_take_ship2":
LAi_SetActorType(characterFromID("James Norrington"));
LAi_ActorWaitDialog(PChar,characterFromID("James Norrington"));
LAi_ActorDialog(characterFromID("James Norrington"),PChar,"",1.0,1.0);

Fingers crossed that works
 
i'll try that... hope it works...

EDIT: at last!.. thanks maggee... that taken care of one of my problems... i've talked with norrington and swapped ships without a problem... but... the tortuga fort's still continues to fire at me... i guess i will wait for now for you guys to fix this problem... but so far the storyline is great...
 
Try this:

1. While on the world map, go to the sea, and then open up the menu with F2.
2. Go to relations, then pirates, then raise the pirate flag.
3. Now go back to the world map and sail to tortuga, then hopefully the fort will stop firing.

For me, the flag just has to be loaded so by simply raising it without going to the deck of the ship or to the map, it never actually changes the flag. This worked for me.

This thread was all about the Tortuga problem and I posted a solution to no getting blown to pieces similar to yours Yippie-kai-ay. As far as I can see the How to steal the Interceptor has been sorted and the Tortuga/Isla De Muerte problems are already posted in several threads <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Well interestingly enough, i tried all of these fixes and now i can't get norrington to stop sitting and standing. No matter what i do, he does it again. Do i need to go back to before Jack hits Norrington?
