Remember me?
Well, I'm back, but don't expect the same level of activity as before with PotC.
AoP... my oh my. Since I dropped out of PotC, I've stayed away from this and ellaybe, not wanting to get drawn back in. I've kept a minimal eye on Akella by general searches for SeaDogs 3, so AoP completely sidewiped me. Three weeks ago, I went back to a girl's apartment after some serious clubbing and, bugger me backwards, I thought she had PotC installed... but not quite. A quick interrogation later and I found out about AoP - yeah, got too absorbed in work in life, me, lol.
Anyway. I've noticed huge chunks of my mod code has been incorporated into the game - yay. Some recog would have been nice, but hey, I'm cool.
Cyberops - I see what you mean. Bugs aplenty! Glad someone's taken the reigns and started to dive into the code. FYI, I've found a couple of nasty errors already. One I found when I tried to add more officers to an already running savegame. Look at the RechargeOfficers command. It adds a new character to the global pool using GenerateOfficer. The problem is, the GenerateOfficer command calls GenerateCharacter *without first destroying the old one*. Over time the character pool fills up and the game crashes. Ie., memory leak, of sorts.
Before finding that, I'd already created code to allow for unlimited officers from each port. But, having come to an apparent roadblock, I rolled back all my changes without backing up as I thought it wasn't possible! Heh, just have to do it all again, lol.
The other one is the cause of crashes when ships surrender. The game tries to get the current target of the fleeing ship - but it doesn't have one, coz its running away!
Well folks, that's all for now. Like I said, hi!
