    Should I sink this game?

    Sorry to `double-post`, I wanted to add a tidbit. When my game hangs now, the screen with the ships firing at each other and the "Boarding" (or something very similar) caption is showing. I never see anything different. But after a while I can hit buttons and hear clicks and sometimes the...

    Should I sink this game?

    Arrgh, sampow, I'm not sure if the problems I'm having are similar to yours or not. If it means anything, whenever I go from the game to the Windows desktop, I can never get back to the game. I can hear some music and some noise from button clicks, but the screen is always black. I have to...

    Should I sink this game?

    Scalawags, I'm having some problems with this game. I love it when it is working and appreciate the help from the folks on this forum, but the frustration is driving me mad. A while back I made a post about <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic831.php" target="_blank">crashes</a> during...

    toggle running walking

    Arrrh, Skull, Maybe you've had a dose of the rum. I tried to decipher that message from every angle. `N-S_E`-W, NE, NW, ... I don't follow. Maybe I need to click my heals or something. It seems like English. Some sort of code maybe?

    toggle running walking

    Thanks, all. Fred_Bob, Yeah I've had some accidents b/c of the speed settings, too. Trying to get close to one of my other ships I hit the game speed button and zoomed into her - I tore off my ship's mast I think. Love the dew, btw. Since you all have been so helpful, maybe you know the...

    toggle running walking

    I stand corrected. The 'k' button worked ... sort of. It didn't take affect immediately. But I trained at fencing with my boy Malcom and got my ass kicked. After I reloaded the game, I was walking by default like I wanted to. Not sure if that's normal, but I'm happy. Thanks again, Kev...

    toggle running walking

    Kev, Thanks for the fast reply. I tried 'k' and get an "always run off/on' message, but nothing changes. So, is there something else I need to do. And is there a way to set it so that it saves the setting to 'always run off'? -cwineman ALSO - I accidentally hit whatever button changes the...

    toggle running walking

    I reinstalled the game after setting up a faster machine. It's been a while since I last played. IIRC, I used to walk by default, and then I would hold a button (shift?) to run. Now when I start a new game, my character is always running by default, and the shift button makes him walk. I...

    Ship battle game crashes - NK 10.1

    That's right. I forgot where I had seen all of those things described. But now that I look at it - from the excerpt: "T: Shows the name, fencing skill, and HP of the character in front of you. " I wondered why I got that unexpected message about "Rys Bloom is fencing 5 with 155 HP" or...

    Ship battle game crashes - NK 10.1

    skull, So does 't' do everything does 'i' does? Or vice versa? Or do they each do mutually exclusive things. I guess what I'm getting at it is, when something screws up, which key should I use? Or always use both? If this has been covered in another thread, please post a link, so I don't waste...

    Ship battle game crashes - NK 10.1

    Thanks, all. I tried pressing the 't' key to `re-initialize` and do whatever that does. It looks like it worked. I finally made it through a ship battle without a crash. Changed officers, took over a ship, the works. What is the difference between the 't' and 'i' keys? -cwineman

    Ship battle game crashes - NK 10.1

    skull, I'm not sure I follow. My problem happens in sea battles. There is no dock. What would pressing 'T' do anyway? Should NK's mods have any effect on what I am talking about? -cwineman

    Ship battle game crashes - NK 10.1

    I've been running into a frustrating crash during ship battles. It happens when I try to exit out the screen where you can select your officers. A typical scenario is: I am in a ship battle. I get close to an enemy ship and prepare to board. I switch my officers so that I have good fighters...

    PA course on C

    Diomed. Cool, you see what I was saying. Only realize, I think in this thread, your input would be as valuable as NK's. I think this thread is great idea. I'm just not sure it will very popular. I hope people will take an interest in how the game they are playing works. I'm not gonna hold my...

    SHIP NAMES

    So far I've only had a few ships that I've given a name to. This first(and lets face it, the first is the one you remember) was called: The Guppy. A fine small name for a fine small ship. The speed of this ship saved me from many a jam until(snif) it was destroyed. I hated to see it go down...

    PA course on C

    Diomed, You're right, answering questions in your own words, as a coder(I assume) who enjoys POTC who has looked at the source code, is important. I think its great that you are willing to put forth the effort to do this. There are a handful of people here that run this forum and provide the...

    PA course on C

    Not to spoil what you are trying to do in this thread, but maybe it would be better to simply provide links explaining the basics of programming in C. A Google search - such as "c programming language tutorial" - will provide a bunch of links that can explain C. I think it would be more useful...
