Sparrow Sought - 13 Final & 13 Full + Update 3

That's a different bug. I think it's an Alpha bug fixed in the most recent game versions.

I have forgot about this one.

A misplaced sprite or whatever it is, and it only happens about 1/5 of the times you press the hire crew button.
Its a minor glitch. Still, its a bug...

Never mind though! It was really long time ago and in connection with build 14a6... certain ship types acting like sailing sideways, and their velocity catching up with the main character upon landfall in port... I'm sure it will come back when we get that far with the search.

Separate issue anyway, because on this build 13 occurence both F1 and F2 (and all other function keys for that matter) were disabled so there was no way getting arround the frozen screen but the ole' Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Thanks !
I'll try that... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Long hours of smooth playing ... without re-encountering any invalid dialogue screen freeze... have really been fun.
I have listed the less dramatic issues I came across so far in this attachment:
[attachment=1472:sparrow_...t_topics.htm]

In the meantime I wish you all
A Happy New Year!

No?! Thats the name of my ship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
I am no pirate, I am a true navy kind of guy, really. I should one day replace the Portugese with the Danes, with flags and all.. and replace Concaicao with St.Croix or St.Thomas, just to make my present in the Caribbean more realistic.

At dusk I can confirm experiencing related issues. The interface shadow could be one of them in a twilight between barkeeps day dialogue and night dialogue.
All seem to point to a need to look into the adjustments of dialog/enabling access/encounter time settings.
Same issue that makes fex. the Store door accesible as the evening progresses, but once you enter there is no merchant behind the counter because the man actualy had closed the shop - which you can see in the quick access keys if you try them, because they only display the night options Tavern and Port. So you stand alone in an unattended store because clock settings for the trader slightly differ from the clock settings for the enabling access to the door.
"Not a game breacker but ..." You have a good point there! Since there are settings for hours in the different files they ought to be looked into and if there is something else affecting the interface graphics it should dfinitely be fixed.

On that I can only agree totally!

Not really sure how to counter that bug. Simplest might be to have the store keeper be always present, so if the store closed behind you, you can still do what you wanted to.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Zaid Munro quest needs polishing on two aspects. When meeting the bandits at the first encounter, the guy on the right does not respond to dialogue keys.

Pieter, this is what I reported a year ago, that the Zaid Murro quest can't be finished as the second set of bandits did not have swords.
I found that this problem could be avoided, not fixed but rather circumvented, by having the "auto loot" disabled.

BTW, Julian, do you have auto loot enabled?
 
No blades with the ammo mod on and they do have them with the ammo mod off? That sounds really WEIRD! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Ooops my bad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />

It is the "Auto Loot" enabled that caused the bug in my case. See below.

With the second set of bandits, two of the three present as unarmed and the red danger icons stop after you kill the one that is armed.
You have to kill them all to complete the quest, thus incurring a rep loss.

Note that you get sabers from all of them with auto loot anyway.



With auto loot off, everything is normal.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
 
i've seen the missing store keeper bug and the zaid murro quest bug as well. i just kill those two guys without swords as well, and can then continue with a bit of a reputation hit. the first time i saw that the store owner was missing i thought he was upstairs, preparing to close the shop. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

A bit of a hit?

You go down 2 full levels killing them both, and with all the people complaining about how their reputation tanks so easily, I think this is something that should be fixed.
