Screen Loading ERROR... AOP v1.1

well, misplaced if I must say. When you board a ship, the fighting is great as normal. however, the moment you select F3 to enter the cabin... it says loading TAVERN.... no PROBLEM, but a bug none the less...

ALSO, at the end of this battle: it showed the screen saying shipyard and your fleet... this should either say nothing or YOUR SHIP, and OPPONENTS SHIP... LOL, there's no way the ships made it all the way back to port <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

my 2 cents in "beta testing"

EDIT:

on another note, in the original released version, we did have sound issues in first person mode where if you were looking off the cannon's firing arch, it stopped the sounds for sails, creeks and otherwise general ambience.... NOW, apperently you've disabled your ships lights <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .. again, a work in progress, but just need to make a note of it..


PS. am I placing these error notes in the right spot??
 
er, not even patch #1.. forgot about the patches <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> my bad.. and disregard...
 
OK, loaded the patch and I'm finding the same issues as noted above... I also, in the course of exploring found more....

- Morale flags at the bar are missing (when hiring crew)
- Discarding goods when you capture a ship does not tell you the ammount that you are discarding
- When you "SWAP SHIPS" you cannot 'reswap' if you made a mistake.. it's a one way button
- lights and ambient sounds are not present when you are looking away from the cannon arch (first person mode)
- When boarding a ship and entering the "cabin" it has the tavern loading screen
- surrendering still seems to be absolutely useless <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> - seems the only way to make them surrender is to completely overwhelm them or kill most of thewir crew... I've found that the actual status of the ship has no bearing on this....

On a good note:
- well done on the mod otherwise.. despite the few bugs, it is now PLAYABLE!!!
- 10+ hours and not a single crash yet! VERY stable mod!!

SUGGESTIONS:
- add a popup when selling a ship saying: "are you sure? you still have goods in the hold [yes][oops, nevermind]

QUESTIONS:
every now and then a guy yells some phrase and then theres a splash of water, what is this sound signifying?! If anything, it's way too often for something that is unexplained <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Anywho.. my 2 cents... I am not flaming the mod, only giving suggestions on where to improve.. GREAT JOB!!!
