Press F2 to go to the various interfaces. Click on "Passengers". You can assign your party officers there.
You can't hurt your own officers anyway, and they can't hurt you. The same goes for the random crew during boardings.
Ah - perhaps you mean that random crew, rather than your officers? Edit "PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h". Find this part:
Code:
#define BOARDERMODEL "standard" // Outfit for your boarders, insert one of these groups (Don't change spelling or the "" !):
// "marine", "corsair", "masked", "skeleton", "girl", "soldier" (soldiers of current flag),
// "boarder" (Nathaniel's soldiers); default: "standard"
Change "standard" to one of the others - if you want the female crew, change it to "girl". (Not "girls" - don't add the "s" or it won't be recognised!)
You can change a lot of other things in "InternalSettings.h" too.
Yes, I know I can't hurt my party but I waste time, action and ammo hitting my own, and Yes I only use the descriptor in "" in the settings list so I am getting the visually identifying boarding party. I also have modified Internal Settings as I have in the past to satisfy my requirements to enjoy the play.
seems 22 has the same problem as 21... sink a ship=screen freeze... end of game... why? seems this would have been resolved from the same issue in 21?
Any idea why... I would appreciate directions to end this fault that corrupts the game making it unplayable.
Is my Win7 an issue? Was this 22 designed for W10+ the reason? I don't like the map not locking for my ship to move rather than the map moving to keep my ship in center... maybe some like it... I don't. Past games had this feature and I've gotten used to it... how to lock the map?
BTW, I hate W10+, multimedia program for I=Phones not computers... I don't want to make my notebook into an I-Phone. Tried W10 and erased it for all the confusion and background stuff going on, lack of information on features, not user friendly at all! (
22 has so many problems I'm worn out trying to cobble it into a useful program. You seem to have found a working program, did you do any mods to correct the issues I'm finding? I'm sure you are using Win10 is that my problem? Was this revision designed for 10+ and not compatible with 7? If so I'm gonna stop chasing this Chimera,
Looking for some help in solving some illogical issues in this revision... makes me wonder if I should even try B15 (Beyond) if the same problems are going to prevent play?
Thanks for the advice and help problem solving, been running these since 16 and have cobbled changes to overcome past issues, but this has a much different logic map and uses critically different changes meant for more reality in sailing in the era... Not so much fun for me since I've not adjusted to such applications in past play. I'm just looking for a playable game with past logic design but with all the "bugs" removed that made it frustrating and irritating to play and replay and replay... too much time wasted, not enough enjoyment.
Will you at least help me solve the sinking the second ship in 21 freeze? If that is the only issue keeping me from playing that would give me an enjoyable, playable game to entertain my mind.
Thanks Mate,
