A really stupid, likely easy-to-answer question...

[Stallion]

In the BuildSettings.h file, does it matter if, when changing a setting, you use the numbers 1 or 0, or should I be sticking with the "true" and "false" that much of the things seem to be set with now?

I'm mostly just interested in disabling the food for the crew, and ammunition for guns and gunpowder for ship cannons. I tend to forget about rations, and starve my guys. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And I run out of ammo and gunpowder since I forget to keep an eye on it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I say stick with whats there. If its true then type false. And if its 1 then type 0 ^^

Or turn them off in the options ^^

Though boolean usually works for both cases ^^

 

[LarryHookins]

True is defined as 1, false is defined as 0. They're actually interchangeable. Megla's advice to stick to what's already there is best.

But setting them in the buildsettings.h file won't have any effect. You need to set them in advanced options.

So that's why nothing changed in my game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Thanks for the help everyone! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

When you change options in the menu, make sure it's BEFORE you start a new game. Doing it when you loaded your game tends to mess up things.
But you'd find that out soon enough! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

As it so turns out, I just did. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

#define DECK_VIEW_ON_SEAENTER 0
// Decide where camera should start upon entering a ship
// 0: Stock PotC, external camera
// 1: Camera on ship deck


i was forgetting this for the tenth time:
some guy was asking how to stop camera on the ship desk when leaving a port.
change the above in buildsetting.h to 0 and it will work as in the build 13 (just in case someone still doesn`t know how to do it, ehi, noobies, i`m talking to you all! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ).

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Good point; that is the ONLY setting in BuildSettings.h that DOES need to be modified in the file instead of in the menu.
Does anyone think we should recode that for Advanced Options menu as well? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

 

[LordDrow]

The fewer things the general players have to mess in the code with, the better is my view of it. Anything and everything that can be put into the running game will simplify things when we have to just say 'Look in the options menu' instead of saying, 'Open this file in this directory and change this line of code to look thusly'.

Agreed. Lemme see if I can get that sorted. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
