Need Help No steam from Steam Ship?

Greets mates, I be wondering why my steam frigate is not blowing steam out. I have 191 units of planks and on my screen on the right side it will say Engine S but that all that will show on my screen. Is there something I havent done correctly?
 
Pieter knows that ship best, but in POTC --->program ---> controls --->DefaultControls.h it says:
#define CTL_SHIP_POWER_UP "VK_ADD"
#define CTL_SHIP_POWER_DOWN "VK_SUBTRACT"
#define CTL_SHIP_POWER_ZERO "VK_MULTIPLY"

I would guess that those Virtual Keys are on the numpad.
 
Indeed you could just be not running the engine. Press Numpad + and see if you start getting any steam.
The engine is actually separate from the sails now and actually does what it should do, being an engine. ;)
 
I have a steamfrigate in a port. (The ship is not mine) I want it to leave at some point using the "sailaway" function.
How do I get some smoke from it then?
(I have manually fixed smoke with a smoke locator, when the ship is in port.)
 
You want the steamship to smoke in a PORT scene? Ah, that does make things a bit more complex.
Does it work to add {Character}.Ship.Power = 100; as an attribute? That's what triggers it in AIShip.c .
 
No it didn't work. I also gave the shipowner 100 planks.
It's ok anyway, the ship can stay in port producing smoke and noise.
 
I think the whole Ship_UpdateParameters() function is not executed ashore, so that ignores all steamship code.
You'd have to find an equivalent function executed for a ship every second ashore, but I don't think that exists.
 
Hi guys I know passed a lot of time but actually I'm playing the game in 2015 and I've got a problem: I haven't got a numpad because I'm playing on laptop so I changed the keys in POTC/program/controls/DefaultControls.h, giving the commands to the keys i o and p but they don't seems to work :( any help?

After you changed the default controls, you need to "Reset Controls to Default" through the main menu for the changes to take effect. :doff

Thank you SO MUCH! It worked, I was just wandering about a bug related to my pc or something similar! However great mod, I played POTC when I was young but I discovered this mod only few days ago and I'm living again a great experience with this game! Thank you again!
