To make things easier, I gathered up ALL the bugs that are still affecting this mod, read all of this and decide where to start.
In Build 14 Beta 1 patch 5
I have gone through and fixed as many of the locator files as I can - there should now be no crew / defenders fighting outside the battlefield
(underground or in the water). The same should also apply to the Player.
The situation now is:-
1. NEVIS - Pirate Settlement - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
2. NEVIS - Charlestown - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
3. GUADELOUPE - Pointe a Pitre - OK
4. ANTIGUA - St Johns - OK ( but only 2 crew in Port )
5. MARTINIQUE - ST Pierre - OK
6. BARBADOS - Speightstown - OK ( but no Crew in Port & 2nd Part of town )
7. BARBADOS - Bridgetown ( Bugged ) see below
8. GRENADA - Sao Jorge - OK
9. GRENADA - Smugglers Lair Leviathan Rock - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
10. CURACAO - Willemstad - (no Crew in Port ) - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
11. BONAIRE - Pirate Fort Palm Beach - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
12. BONAIRE - Kralendijk -OK
13. ARUBA - Oranjestad ( Bugged ) see below
14. CAYMAN - Grand Cayman - OK
15. ELEUTHERA - Governors Harbour - OK
16. ELEUTHERA - Alice Town Settlement - Capture Works OK see problems with interface
17. CUBA - Havana - OK ( but no crew in Port )
18. CUBA - Santiago - OK ( but only 2 crew in Port )
19. TURKS - Grand Turk - OK ( texture outside Town Hall forgot to mention this in previous post same as Port Royale & Havana - see attached)
20. JAMAICA - Port Royale - OK
21. HISPANIOLA - Tortuga - OK
22. HISPANIOLA - Port Au Prince - OK
23. HISPANIOLA - Santo Domingo - OK
24. HISPANIOLA - Buccaneer Camp - Boca de Hubon ( Bugged ) see below
25. PUERTO RICO - San Juan -OK
26. ST MARTIN - Philipsburg - OK ( but Port & 1st section of town No crew)
27. ST MARTIN - Marigot ( Bugged ) see below
Forts now have Loading Screens (see Pieter's file in Post # 83 above)
PROBLEMS
BARBADOS - Bridgetown - I think this is just a missing Governor - Fort Commander to talk to.
After 2nd town fight in Suburb - think you are supposed to be transported to Governor / Fort / Prison Commander - but are just stuck in the same
part of town ( get same location loading screen & are just moved to one of the gates - your officers now appear & the missing texture on the ground is
there now there so I assume you have been transported to the normal model for this location instead of the Capture Colonies Model ) - you can fast
travel to store/church/tavern etc but cannot leave buildings once inside them except by fast travel to another building.
In 2nd town location no crew - player fighting soldiers on their own.
ARUBA - Oranjestad - As Barbados I think this is just missing governor to talk to.
Sank all ships - Fight in Port - Transported to Town - can't move ( used A-D keys to move sideways slightly which fixed this ) - in town no one to talk
to the Governor is in townhall (locked) can get inside only with Fast travel. Talk to Governor & he only has ordinary dialog - no Capture Colonies
Dialog.
HISPANIOLA - Buccaneer Camp - Boca de Hubon
Made the missing locator file for this (shore08_lb.gm) - but still could not get it to let me land Troops. - I think the Boca de Hubon beach may not be
recognised as the port of the Buccaneer Camp (perhaps the camp is just a Quest Location and not meant to be captured in Capture Colonies)
ST MARTIN - Marigot
I am still unable to destroy Fort - no hits shown or registered? - sinking all the French Ships does not seem to work either.
Capturing Colonies for Player - Interface Problems
You cannot capture any colony without a FORT for yourself - the interface to assign the Officers to Governor & Fort Commandant does not appear if
you choose this option in the dialog with the Pirate Chief /Governor - see error logs attached to Post # 84 above. ( You can still give it to another
nation or ransom it ok. )
The interface to assign an Officer to be the Governor & Fort Commandant is unstable and it is difficult to get the officer you want allocated (I am not
sure if they have to have a certain level of skills e.g. Leadership or cannons - this might have affected it in my game). Also I once almost allocated the
Governor I was talking to as the new Fort Commandant.
- Would he have fired on me as I sailed out of the port.
:
Officers allocated as Fort Commandant will leave your passenger List. Officers allocated as Governor stay on your Passenger list and can be allocated
to additional towns - they only leave the passenger list if you allocate them as a Fort Commandant. (I have currently got one governor running three
towns on different islands & two governors being Fort Commandants in towns on other islands and two governors who are still Passengers).
Returning to Towns you have Captured for Yourself.
This is bugged - you can go into a town you have captured from the jungle ok. If however you try to land at the Port then sometimes you will be
transported to the Port ok and sometimes you will be transported into the Fort - there you will be attacked by masked men ( your people manning the
Fort ) there is no way out, so you die. (see attached error logs for Martinique)
Money Received For Ransom of Colony
- The amount you receive is twice the amount in the dialog
- If you decide to take over the colony for another country - the colony is taken over & you also get the amount of money for the ransom (actual
amount stated in dialog ) - not sure if this is correct or a bug.
- If you take the colony for yourself you don't get any money - you do get the daily amount of money from the Taxes ok.
No Crew at Certain Locations
This might still be a problem with Locators - not enough of them or Strange shape ( I have been playing with Visible locators and some of the loc ones are not the usual semi-sphere but long thin ellipses. So those locations might need more work.
- I don't know if the Mod takes into account my total crew (ship or fleet) against the Town Population when calculating the 4 crew vs 3 defenders, that
could affect things. But for me the crew are always missing in the same places.
Listed are the locator files to fix things & included in the attachment:-
Shore08_lb.gm
Conport_lb.gm
DouPort_lb.gm
Doutown_lb.gm
ffport01_l_xb.gm
OXport_lb.gm
ConTown_l_papb.gm
StJohns_locatorsb.gm
Noticing a BIG problem with aruba, I can't even land my troops to invade the town (it has no fort, so you simply just have to land your troops), I've
tried everything, loading up old saves, going in and out of map mode, sinking all dutch ships around it, but nothing is working... Also, I noticed when I
raid the pirate settlement on Nevis, it can sometimes mess up other fort invasions as well. Lastly, When you try to rename the french town on
Martinique (the french island with octopus bay as it's beach), when you try to rename the town, you get a game crash.
Edit: no error logs from the aruba issue though...
- Renaming Saint Pierre when taken over causes a game crash
- Attacking Nevis Pirate Settlement problems:
(Not sure if this is supposed to be a glitch or not) Until you leave town, the whole town goes into what I like to call "Ransack mode" where you can get stuff
from the store and shipyard for free, however, I noticed that the store (in ransack mode) will have russian characters over each of the pictures of the goods until
you completely clear the store of that item. Also, if you repair your ship or put on upgrades at the pirate settlement shipyard in "Ransack mode", your ship will
display all black in the hull bar like it's about to sink until it starts taking a little damage, then it will show a full bar which depletes normally as your ship is hit by
cannon-fire and whatnot.I notice that in one case, after raiding this, any future settlements I raid will seem to not recognize me after a couple of in-game weeks and when I go back to port, the fort won't attack me, but when I port, I have to fight a bunch of pirates in the fort, then I get transported back to my ship, thus, I can never access the
town. However, the tax system seems to be working just fine.
- There is no option to land troops on the beach leading to the dutch city in aruba.
The interface for assigning governors and fort commanders is quite bugged, just try it for one second and you'll see what I mean!
