Solved Visible Officers

[DavyJack]

Mateys! How can I make all me officers visible on me ship deck? and not just them gunners. (B2.3)
I rarely visit the crew's quarters and other parts of the ship. It'll make me feel more comfortable being a cap'n by seeing them whenever i'm on the ship deck.

Look at PROGRAM\SEA_AI\BOAL_Deck.c and find:

                            case "ShipDeck":
                                if(GetCharacterShipCabin(mchr)=="Cabin_none")
                                {
                                    CharacterIntoLocationLocator(_curCharIdx, mchr.location);
                                    LAi_SetCivilianPatrolType(tmpChr);
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    if(tmpChr.quest.officertype==OFFIC_TYPE_ABORDAGE || tmpChr.quest.officertype==OFFIC_TYPE_CANNONEER || tmpChr.quest.officertype==OFFIC_TYPE_CAPNAVY) // KK
                                    {
                                        CharacterIntoLocationLocator(_curCharIdx, mchr.location);
                                        LAi_SetCivilianPatrolType(tmpChr);
                                    }
                                }
                            break;

Replace with:

 case "ShipDeck":
CharacterIntoLocationLocator(_curCharIdx, mchr.location);
LAi_SetCivilianPatrolType(tmpChr);
break;

I think that should work. That'll put ALL your companions around.

Wow, I never thought I'd like one or two of DavyJacks posts or questions, but I like the way you think lass. hehehe

 

[DavyJack]

Hahaha..

 

[DavyJack]

Sire! About the visible officers. It doesn't apply for the bigger ship decks. Is there a way on how to make all my officers also appear on bigger ship decks?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Dunno.

 

[DavyJack]

Heheh..well, thanks anyway..i'll just use other ships deck models then.

 

[KillPhil]

do only some of them spawn or do they not spawn at all?

 

[DavyJack]

do only some of them spawn or do they not spawn at all?

For bigger ship decks like that of the dutchman only some( say 2) officers show up. but for ship decks like that of the blackpearl, they all show up.
But its all good.

 

[KillPhil]

hmm I could imagine that they don't "get" a place to spawn because of the crew-spawning.

 

[DavyJack]

Yep. that's what i thought too.
