I was reading your post Jack and it's seems we have the same problem.
I'm creating a quest right now with Horatio Hornblower and for the quest I create new ship I took the hull of one of the Pinnace and add the mast of an other Pinnace and put the stats of the ship like this:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Pinnace OTL(Of The Line) (Pinnace3_50 + WhiteWallerFrig) by Estharos
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
makeref(refShip,ShipsTypes[n]);
n++;
refShip.Name = "PinnaceOTL";
refShip.id = refShip.Name;
refShip.Nation = ENGLAND;
refShip.unique = true;
refShip.Class = 2;
refShip.Cannon = CANNON_TYPE_LONG_LBS18;
refShip.MaxCaliber = 24;
refShip.Weight = Tonnes2CWT(1200);
refShip.Capacity = 4000;
refShip.CannonsQuantity = 54;
refShip.Cannons.Borts.cannonf.qty = 2;
refShip.Cannons.Borts.cannonb.qty = 6;
refShip.MaxCrew = 400;
refShip.MinCrew = 80;
refShip.SpeedRate = 13.8;
refShip.TurnRate = 32.5;
refShip.Price = 300000;
refShip.HP = 9000;
refShip.SP = 100;
refShip.AbordageLocation = "BOARDING_PINNACE";
refShip.CannonsDeck = 1;
refShip.CargoHold = 1;
refShip.Type.Trade = false;
refShip.Type.War = false;
refShip.CanEncounter = false;
refShip.WaterLine = 0.5;
refShip.SpeedDependWeight = 0.3;
refShip.SubSeaDependWeight = 0.9;
refShip.InertiaAccelerationX = 0.2; refShip.InertiaBrakingX = 2.0;
refShip.InertiaAccelerationY = 10; refShip.InertiaBrakingY = 4;
refShip.InertiaAccelerationZ = 4.0; refShip.InertiaBrakingZ = 2.0;
refShip.GeraldSails.rey_b2 = 1;
refShip.GeraldSails.rey_b3 = 1;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
This is a unique ship so the stats will not be random like other ship those. ei: Turn rate and Speed rate will be what the code says, 13.8 and 32.5 they won't change.
Now my problem is that I got an error with the engine.exe after playing the game for a while and most of the time when I get this error regardless how far my save is the error will come back anyway and CTD me. The last time it occur;
I was finishing leveling up at Turks Island after fighting on the bridges and in the cave, good place to level your character by the way. When I came back to shore I enter my ship and set sail to Redmond to continue on the quest for Oxbay via the worldmap then '<b>BOOM</b>' <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> CTD an error with engine.exe. Lucky me I saved before entering the ship so I launch the game again and load there for the same result. After a while I did some search on the forum about this error and saw the cargo bug so decide to try it. So I load the game again and drop the Sailcloths and Planks then board the ship and '<b>Voila</b>' no CTD and an route for Redmond. Cargo bug fix it was so happy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> until it those it again but this time while talking to the BlackSmith. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I decide to take the good weapons that I loot for the corps at Turks Island and ask the BlackSmith to work them out for me to excellent quality. When I did the 2 first weapon it work np but the third one '<b>BOOM</b>' <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> CTD again with same error as before. I try loading the game about 10times and no change after the 3rd or 4th weapon that the BlackSmith work on it crash. I try to minimize the cargo hold no change, I load the game to a saved further away and this what happen. I decide to try this time with the ShipYard owner and as soon I talk to him '<b>BOOM</b>' CTD again. So I try to go further in my save but as soon I load it and talk to the Governor this time the game CTD. I reload my last save game and sharped my 2 first weapon then CTD on the 3rd again. After getting the bug the only character I could talk to was the BlackSmith but not for long. This happen before sinking the Oiseau bark.
Next I back up my saved file and delete them from the game and start a new fresh game, then save the game an input my backup saved file to see if it will work but no change. So delete the saved game again and start over and did pretty much the same thing as the game before but this time the bug occur right after you escape from the prison at Redmond because of Dannielle. Regardless how far I go in my saved game, as soon the bug once appear all the other saved game are bug to, until you delete all saved files and start over your game, then eventually the bug will happen again but you don't know when. I also try to delete all saved and save only the game where I was to see if it will fix it but no luck. I try to sell the ship but since I can't talk to anyone but the BlackSmith well I couldn't. I didn't try a new game with an ordinary ship to see if it will occur since I don't think the ship I create is buggy.
I don't know if this is your problem Jack but it is for me and because of that i can't explore the game to get ideas for my quest about Horatio. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> If anyone know about this error and know how to fix it please tell me. I really like to explore build14Alpha6. Right now I went back to build13 and hope it won't happen there. Also if you check the code I use for the ship that I create and see anything that could cause that please let me know I will make the change and try it later.
