B11 question

[BenvZijl]

great mod, but i want to change my stating ship, but every time i do this the normal way(the way when i got a clean install) i get a black screen when the game loads and thats it.(nothing happens further)


i changed this line inCharacters_init.c
ch.Ship.Type = START_SHIP(); // PS

to
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_BLACK_PEARL(); // PS


anyone know what i do wrong?
and could you guys give me the correct line if i did something wrong

thnx

If you're using build 11, you use BuildSettings.h to change your starting ship, not Characters_init.c. Go into BuildSettings.h (in the PROGRAM folder), and look for these lines:


//MAINCH START PARAMS
#define START_RANK 1
#define START_MONEY 1000
<b>string START_SHIP() {return "Lugger1_" + ENGLAND; } //omit the nation and the _ if ship has no nation
//check ships_init.c for all ships' IDs.</b>


The <b>bold</b> text is what we're focusing on. If you want the Black Pearl, replace it with this instead:


<b>string START_SHIP() {return "BlackPearl"; }</b>


That should do the trick, but I'm still pretty much a novice at this too, so someone else might come along and say I've got it all wrong. If they do, believe them. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
