    Ideas for the future!

    Which - the correction to the text, the idea of losing "Leadership" skill for chickening out of the duel, the idea of losing crew morale for same, or all of the above?

    Ideas for the future!

    Done. Also corrected some of the dialog text - mostly just for capitalisation and punctuation, but then there's this:"You'll have your crew do your dirtywork rather than fight me like a man?! Typical Pirate! You'll not get away with this!",Don't count on the player character being a man or a...

    A Dream: Psychotherapy for AIs / Does A(n)droid Dream of Eclectic Love?

    Plot twist: the reason you've just met Morgan Freeman is that your phone's AI is having an affair with his phone's AI and they've set up the meeting so they can get closer together. :lol

    Ideas for the future!

    Only the part where you demand a ransom is changing for now. I'm still thinking whether to put a similar check on any other choices, bearing in mind that eventually you'll get to the ransack screen, and that's where the real checking will happen. The rest of the dialog is unchanged. Or...

    Ideas for the future!

    Probably not. I suspected it only because, if a character is killed on land, his ship is lost as well, so perhaps deleting a character after he surrendered would sink his ship too. On the other hand, that 'PostEvent("Ship_BranderDetonate", 16000, "i", refEnemyCharacter)' line would certainly...

    Ideas for the future!

    It doesn't explode as in disappear completely in a sheet of flame. But the code which makes it go bang a few times and then sink is 'PostEvent("Ship_BranderDetonate", 16000, "i", refEnemyCharacter)'. And it doesn't always sink, it should only do so 'if (frnd() > 0.7)' which should be about 30%...

    Ideas for the future!

    I'd say it's the other way round. The relation system is definitely bugged, though I'm unlikely to find any way to fix the most serious bug (fleet turning neutral when flagship surrenders). The problem about sinking an enemy ship counting as piracy is my main target as it's almost certainly...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    1: I've added that to my copy, so it will be in the next update. 2: Correct. Case "Darientemple4bis" sets a trigger for "Darientemple6" when you return to the jungle, and "Darientemple6" checks if you have the idol. @Bartolomeu o Portugues: possibly unlock the entrance to the temple at case...

    Ideas for the future!

    Looking at "PROGRAM\INTERFACE\ransack_main.c", I haven't yet managed to work out how interface boxes work. But I think I've found what causes released ships to sink. As the old saying goes, it's not a bug, it's a feature. Function "ProcessCancelExit()", specifically this line:if (frnd() >...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Does that mean you can now see the line about the tailor?

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Did you try scrolling beyond the third choice? The line for the tailor is "Link.l5" and "Link.l5.go". Otherwise, upload "system.log", and also "error.log" if it exists, after you have asked for directions and got this dialog.

    Ideas for the future!

    That's caused by masts being knocked down. If anything, sinking the released ship might help with that. If you shot away one of its masts before boarding, that will cause the graphics problem. Once the ship is sunk and has disappeared, the problem may also disappear unless there's another...

    Ideas for the future!

    Ah, OK. What confused me was that you wrote that in response to my saying that you can't take the ship, you can't take the cargo but you can take the crew, meaning a ship which you boarded (or which boarded you) and you're now at the ransack screen. The problem caused by a non-sinking captain...

    Ideas for the future!

    It was. If I remember reading correctly, at one time, it was not only acceptable, it was required - if you met an enemy ship, you had to attack and sink it. Later the requirement was dropped as it was the navy's job to sink enemy ships, so civilians - i.e. merchants - weren't required to put...

    Ideas for the future!

    That's exactly what it means - you're not allowed to take cargo or prize ships. You should be allowed to sink an enemy ship, though, either by gunfire or by boarding and then abandoning it. So what I want is no check for piracy when a ship sinks, nor just by entering the ransack screen. But...

    At the same two cases, add:DisableFastTravel(true);... and:DisableFastTravel(false);... to disable and re-enable fast travel. In "PROGRAM\Storyline\Bartolomeu\Locations\init", find the entry for "Major_house". Change this:Locations[n].reload.l1.label = "Isla Muelle. Center."...

    Ideas for the future!

    That's the code to display small one-line hints about changing flags, including the warning that you can't change flag if you're not at sea or on deck. What I want is something like the box of text which appears if you try to put a captain onto a captured ship and your "Leadership" skill is...

    At case "Beforepraca2", add:PChar.quest.disable_rebirth = true;That should prevent resurrection to the tavern. At case "verdouwesen", add:PChar.quest.disable_rebirth = false;This is when you return to the outskirts, you've told l'Ollonais what you learned, and you're about to return to the ship...

    Ideas for the future!

    @Pieter Boelen: could you help me to fix the nation relation system? It should not be piracy to sink an enemy ship, only to capture it or steal its cargo. If I remember correctly, on a previous occasion when I mentioned that, you suggested checking in the ransack screen rather than when a ship...
