Small problem with getting off ship

Hi, first of all great mod. But I got nasty problem. I searched for answer but couldn’t find it. Here’s problem after installing Update 2 for my Build 14 A6, after mooring I start on my ship instead on pear (sp?), it would AOK if after getting off ship and pressing action key you are teleported to the last pear you visited. I already ended without ship 4 times. I sailed from Conceciao (sp?) to Greenford after getting off ship I went to the gates and pressed action key instead getting into Greenford I was teleported back to Conceciao (sp?) while my ship (probably) stayed in Greenford.
My question is can I turn off starting on board my ship, I went through build sittings and internal sittings but couldn’t find it.
Sorry for english
 
On the Choose Character screen there's a text "Cabin" with sliders to the left and right added. This only happens when you select your own nation, the one with the red flag. If you use this slider, you can skip the tutorial and start at any port in the game. I'm not sure if that'll help though. You can turn off the VISIT_DECK mod in BuildSettings.h as well, so you will no longer go to your deck when leaving port or anchoring. Also you can put this in PROGRAM\console.c:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->void ExecuteConsole()
{
    ref pchar = GetMainCharacter();
    ref ch;
    int i;

    ref lcn = &Locations[FindLocation(pchar.location)];
    SetCharacterShipLocation(Pchar, lcn); // ADD THIS LINE!<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
If you now press F12, your ship will be moved to your current location. Make sure you only press this when in port, otherwise weird things might happen. In any case hopefully this will allow you to get your ship back when you lost her.
 
Thanks but I found work around you can save after leaving ship and then load, everything is normal.
Also I would suggest to turn save on when you visiting deck even on sea. Because of boarding bug is SO FRICKING ANNOYING you can capture 3 MOW and then stuck on sloop that manged to sneak up on you, it would be much better if you could at least save between boardings.
Still this mod rules <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Saving at sea is either impossible or extremely hard to achieve. Maximus once said he might know a way to manage it, but I don't know if that will ever happen. I know AoP can do it, but not PotC.
 
I mean saving while visiting deck, still is there anything you can do about boarding bug?

Im pretty sure you can turn off start on ship feature since (i think) it was added in A6 U2.
 
Even the original game started on the ship.

You can save on the deck sometimes when you're in port, but not at sea.
 
I was talking about starting on deck after mooring, not new game.
 
In that case I already answered your question in my first reply:<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->You can turn off the VISIT_DECK mod in BuildSettings.h as well, so you will no longer go to your deck when leaving port or anchoring.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
