Mefisto!!!

S

Sea Dog

Landlubber
I'm doing the quest to get the Mefisto and the loading screen freezes when it tries to load Oxbay. The part where you have to escort the spanish ship to Isla Muelle. It just stops loading and the little spinning crystal thing stops aswell. On the last build I couldn't use the Mefisto because I couldn't load stuff onto its cargo hold, now I can't land on Oxbay. Please, please someone help or get some one who can help....Pleeeeaaaaase!

I use the build 11 and have the localized version if that helps.
 
Try running the Build update as this was a known problem that was sorted out in one of the updates.

To run an update on the Build just run the install program again and running updates will be an option. Be aware that the update overwrites any settings that you've changed in the BuildSettings.h file.
 
If updating build 11 doesn't work, you can disable the Coast Raiders mod in BuildSettings.h by changing this line (it's near the bottom):

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->#define AUTOCREATE_CR 0 //Set to 1 to create new coastships every time you leave or approach an island. 0 will create ships only if you ask a citizen about them.<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

It's been determined that the presence of coastraider/coasttrader ships are the cause of some players' problems, so setting that to 0 will disable the mod and allow you successfully complete the mission. You can always turn it back on after you've finished, too.
 
Umm...I have several "buildsettings". One called 'BuildSettings" (txt file), one called "BuildSettings.h_en" (non txt file but reads the same (from what I can see) when I add a '.txt.' on the end and a 'BuildSettings.h_eu" (same as above)
Which one should I change/use?
 
<b>BuildSettings.h</b> should be in your PotCPROGRAM directory. Your computer may interpret it as a .txt file. The first few lines will look like this when you open the file:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->/*+++++++++++ TWEAKS AND SWITCHES FOR MODS ++++++++++++++

In this list you can customize the keyfeatures of the latest mods to your liking. Or disable them completely.

Change the digits (and ONLY the digits!) behind the CAPITALS according to the explanations behind.

If you have any questions please contact the author of the mod at the site mentioned below his name.
