<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> this is a follow up on above post:
Still working for the French, servicetime is 574 days,
All English Colonies have been captured, Rank still
Viscount. The Gov. does not trust me anymore after all
the suxcess. He allways says, your one day late,even so
I come in with 20 days to spare!
Bugs: All captured ships overloaded with Planks.
No Replacement officers after hiring 3 on any Island.
Officers leaving on a regular basis.
I finaly come accross the Enemy Gov.,trying to escape
when capturing the Gov. Island! (Red Sails!)
Oh nearly forgot, done 35 missions and about to go out
to do 36! Using two Battleships, but don't think it's
nessessary, one should be enough! Pirates still friendly,
even so I captured quite a few. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
.....oh, and I get quite a few Gost Passengers. They can be
used like officers, but have very high Experience points.
A lot of time well above 10. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

I tried to work Officer.c file, so far I couldn't understand it what it wrong in 1.5 patch, Planks is my least of my worry, but if is could be useful if can repair during the battle. But only work on during map, at least for sailing,
Boy, Wish someone will make Mod bug fixed only for 1.5, (Of coures without personal thing like change gameplay rule like supermod and all other Mod)

Working for the same Gov, have run 24 Jobs for
the old Goat, Rank is Commodore and been doing that for
400 Days. It gets rather boring, The bugger thinks I'm his Taxi.
I got that bored, that I sailed to that Pirate Island and clobberd that there Pirate!
Now, Im sailing to that French Gov, and clobber him!
However, I got one of those fames crashes and gave up for the day.
Supermod is more prone to Crashes than Patch 1.5, but plenty of officers in SM.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> further to my above rant: Patch 1.5
Still working for the french Gov., ran 43 jobs and last was the
capture of Santo Domingo. Has not given any more after that.
Dutch and Spanish stay friendly, even after capturing one of their Colonies.
English are not happy and their ships attack every opportunity they get!
I'll carry on for a bit and see, but if nothing else is forthcoming, will go
and clobber the Pirateking. Rank is still Viscount and salery 8000 a month.

well, carried on some more and lost patience with the french Gov.
After 43 missions, he refused to give any more. So, now I'm the
Pirate King and he better watch out! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />

I think thats a bug you know, because it happened to me with the English Gov when I was Commadore, in fact every stopped giving me missions. Had to restart.

 

[dab]

I had the same problem of the governer not giving me anymore more missions when i was playing as both the French and the British. I was at the rank of commadore both times. I found a fix for it though. I'm not sure if this will work for you guys, but I noticed that around the same time that the governer stopped giving me jobs the civilians outside the palace had a lot of jobs for me to do. So I went out and talked to about 4 of them and denied all of their proposals. After that I went back into the palace and the governer had more jobs for me. Then when he ran out of jobs for me again I went back outside, talked to a few civilians, denied their jobs, and then the governer had more for me. It has worked everytime for me, hopefuly it'll do the same for you because I know how frustrating it can be!

I modded the stats for officer loyalty to make it virtually impossible for them to quit under normal conditions
.

But they will still quit when you turn pirate and decide to follow the main quest,

Now here is the kicker I did so much mod work on the 1,43 patch I never bothered to use 1.5


I am guessing buy if the game kept its modability you should still be able to change the values.

Somewere on this forum is the instructions via a cut and paste of the folder and what was changed but its been a long time ...perhaps a search will turn it up .

The officer loyalty problem being one of my major hangups with the game, I am sure I created a few threads on it ..lol

 

[jip2]

How did you edit the stats for officer loyalty? I would like to do the same thing to my game.
