Looking for a way to get MOW!

Can anyone give me a way to get my MOW without installing the build. I just heard that there is a way to fix the file named ships.c. But except this, is there any way to increase the chance to encounter a MOW on the sea or in the shop!! Thanks a lot!
 
Ahoy, brianchang, and welcome aboard! Pull up a keg, have a seat, and have a couple on us! :D

I don't have an answer for ya, just wanted to say AHOY - and ask in puzzlement,

:cry Why wouldn't you want the build? :b:

:D
 
Well, to be fair, you SHOULD play the game through ONCE without the mods - I played it I think twice because I missed some of the quests and wanted to do them before I got the build...

Playing the game without the mods makes the build so much more of a joy - and the game so much more playable - and `re-playable`. :p

(ya listening, Brian?) :D

I think there is a way to increase chances,can't remember where,maybe in the Encounters files for the code,I will try to find it :D
 
Just looked in there Keith,could not find it there,maybe there is code for it in encounter files :D
 
I'm sure Skull is right, I'm pretty sure you just have to go into the Encounters file and turn it form encounter_false, to encounter_true....or something like that.
 
thanks for your sharing

I had turned it on in the ship.c file. But it still seems so hard to encounter one. Can anyone tell me to increase the chance of meeting or buying a MOW. I am just badly looking for a MOW. As to the build, I think I will finish this game once or twice without it then I wll install it. So thanks a lot, really.
Or maybe NK can help me on this, right? Because since he can create the build to make MOW easy to meet then he must have a way to fix the files. So is there anyone can ask him about this for me? Thanks a lot.
 
AH your playing without the build,,this code is with the build but should be similar.Go to Programs/Encounter/Encounters C file

#include "encountersencounters.h"
#include "encountersencounters_map.c"
#include "encountersencounters_quest.c"

#define MAX_MAP_ENCOUNTERS 16
object MapEncounters[MAX_MAP_ENCOUNTERS];

extern void InitEncounters();

void EncountersInit()
{
if(LoadSegment("EncountersEncounters_init.c"))
{
InitEncounters();
UnloadSegment("EncountersEncounters_init.c");
}

ReleaseMapEncounters();
}

int FindWarEncounter()
{
int iTypes[100]; // Change[100]: to [25]:
int iNumTypes = 0;

ref rCharacter = GetMainCharacter();
int iCharacterRank = sti(rCharacter.rank);
if(GetShipCap()) { if((`8-GetCharacterShipClass`(rCharacter)) * 2 < iCharacterRank) { iCharacterRank = (`8-GetCharacterShipClass`(rCharacter)) * 2; } } // NK

int iChance = rand(100); //Change (100): to (25):
 
Nah,there there mate, ya have to have rank 5 and sailing class 2 ship to encounter them,there a battle flleet with 4 MOW, 3 Lineships,a few Frigates,you will know when you encounter these ;)
 
Thats one thing I hate about the original game, no `play-after`-ending. Plus you never get to sail ye ol' MOW
 
Silehard's MOW is gorgeous, tho. I have her and I admire her every time I sail out. :(

Had to laugh tho, I was testing something and sailed out on a pirate hunting expedition in my MOW (The Tigress). I met another MOW - which happened to be the one I `re-skinned` - the dark plain one - and I was so surprised to see it - because I'd forgotten I put it in there in place of the regular tan and red and orange one. ;)

That was a cool fight. ;)
 
Its kinda kool when ya do things ya forget about and they come back to bite ya in the arse lol ;)
 
Thanks for your sharing again

Hey, guys... I really appreciated your generous sharing. But until now I still can not find a right way to fix the file and to see a MOW. Is there anyone who really can give me a hint about how to fix all the related files so that I can have my MOW sooner before I take the one of Silehard. And I must say thanks to skull although the codes you provided could not work but still thanks.
 
Hmm shoulda worked if your playing without the build ya need to start a new game for it to work, with the build press I to reinitialise at start of game ;)
