Need a file please

The FTP site isn't working and I need a copy of the cccDirectSail zip file. Can anyone
assist?

I know the mod is included in 14/6 but I want the actual zip file that was on
the FTP site.

I use B13 and the DS isn't working. I want to get the original zip with details and
original copies of the code files.
 
Send a PM to CouchcaptainCharles. If anyone has the file, he does. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->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.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

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-->
EDIT: last } bracket was missing, sorry.


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-->

HTH


BTW, does anyone know if the FTP will be reopened any time soon? If not, can anyone recommend another site where we could exchange modfiles? I am not going to publish any mods for playing anymore, but i have some stuff that could be useful for other modders. (Meshes for the TOOL, for changeing locations and islandmodels, pimped islands etc..)
 
CCC! Nice seeing you again! How are you doing? Still working on something fun for us...? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

I know nothing about the FTP. You can PM Keith or William about it. Alternatively I could give you access to the webspace I'm using for my PotC files so that you can upload your files there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

CCC's latest DirectSail code should be in Build 14 Alpha 6 and working properly.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Well, every spring brings a lot of work for me, so currently I lack the time to make mods that are fit for publication to PLAYERS (especially not as many players nowadays seem to expect that the mods they get for free are more perfect than the stock games they buy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> )
But I'll try to stay around with ideas and knowledge that might help other modders. <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->

Thank's a lot for that generous offer, I'll PM you if I have have something and our hosts can't reopen the FTP.
 
actually, making the mods more perfect than the stock game shouldn't be that hard to do in this case. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Thanks, fine. And you are enjoying your cruise?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Most certainly. Do you know of my <a href="http://pieterboelen.spaces.live.com/" target="_blank">weblog</a>? You can read what I've been doing lately on there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Especially not as many players nowadays seem to expect that the mods they get for free are more perfect than the stock games they buy<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Don't let THAT put you off! Just mod what you want without any care to what the people think of it. As far as I'm concerned, everything you ever did was an improvement to the game. True, some is not perfect. But as always: Non-perfect mods that DO exist are much, much better than perfect ones that DON'T exist. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

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?

Admirable Mike
 
Keith told me he is working on a new FTP and will open it shortly. So all files should be availlable again soon.

Cheers to our host for his efforts <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

BTW, just noticed that the final } bracket was missing in that codesection, sorry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
