Further testing indicates that my DS is actually working. What is not working is the position report using F12.
Perhaps when I upgraded the console.c file was overwritten with one that doesn't have the necessary? As I have no idea what lines in that file would be needed or uncommented to make F12 work, could you assist?
The reason I thought nothing was working was a LONG passage to Douwasan(sp?) that was going on to 20 days. When I looked at the map it seemed I hadn't moved at all and the island was directly in front of me. AT sea, nothing was visible and when I tried Sail To, there was nothing to sail to.
I did a short passage and it worked, but without the F12 function.
I will appreciate any suggestion that you have.
I am running B13 update3.
The last version I made used the "8" key to display your position, but sorry, I am not up to date when it comes to the latest Build versions, so I can't tell you if that is already working in your version.
If not, put this codesection
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--> if( bSeaActive && !bAbordageStarted )
{
string xtext, ztext;
int pX = MakeInt(pchar.ship.pos.x);
int pZ = MakeInt(pchar.ship.pos.Z);
if(pX<0){xtext = "(east)";}else{xtext = "(west)";}
if(pZ<0){ztext = "(north)";}else{ztext = "(south)";}
LogIt("Our position from "+pchar.location+": "+pZ+" "+ztext+", "+pX+" "+xtext);
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
into the program\console.c file, directly below the line
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--> ref pchar = GetMainCharacter();
<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Thank you sir. I will paste that code and try the '8' key. I won't bother you again. I'll go to get the
build 14 stuff and it should work in B13, right?
