B14 Alpha 2 Bug or Bogus

If there are 6 gunpowder barrels, I'd suggest making 4 of them contain regular items and 2 contain powder. This is what looks like happens on the 2 ship upper deck, with 3 item boxes and one or two powder boxes.

Actually I'd recommend 5 item boxes and one gunpowder box.

Once you get what little gunpowder you can carry form the first box, the second one is worthless.
 
If the GPBarrels on boarding decks gives only gunpowder but no shots they are worthless from ammo mod point of view. If so we don´t even need one. I´m not sure how they behave.

The Gunpowder Barrel I meant was the place (on smaller ships) replacing the Gunpowder Storage.

When I was playtesting yesterday I did find a barrel containing bullets on the upper deck of my ship. So there is still a gunpowder storage left.

I'm guessing those were added by Maximus or were actually part of where ever he got them, Slib or Corsairs.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
They were added by Maximus, yes. I don't know exactly what the point is of them: When you open one you can take gunpowder out of them, but nothing else. The amount of gunpowder in the barrel is equal to the amount of gunpowder aboard the enemy ship, but you can only take a maximum of 6 out of the barrel anyway, because of the limits of the ammo mod. Would be nice to add some new functionality to them. Perhaps some chance of these barrels exploding during the boarding. That might make for some fun scenes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
being able to shott at them to let them explode when enemies are near it would be nice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Pieter, maybe the GPStorage (restock) is fixed then. I tested Alpha 2.

And yes to some explosives!
 
Nothing was changed there, so if it wasn't fixed in Alpha 2, it isn't fixed in Alpha 3 either.
 
Okay, the gunpowder barrels. I've gotten out of them in no particular order:

Bullet Bags
Powder Horns
Musketoon
Bullets
Buckshot
Rifle Bullets
Musket

Those items and other occasional random firearms appear in them.

P.S. I probably have some of those names wrong, I was just throwing them out off the top of my head. But I've found all those items(give each a proper in-game name) in powder barrels. So I've found them quite useful. You get Bullet Bags and Powder Flasks/horns more frequently from boarding ships than from stores in fact.
 
what are the in-game names? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> those seem unfamiliar for the most part.
 
Yes there are other in-game names like powder flask, musket bullet etc etc. No problems with that.
 
Tried the Alpha 14 version 3 & went to the cargo hold to restock my ammo. No Gunpowder Barrel or Storage at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Also wonder about the "ordinary" box down there. It gets filled up with items per every visit. (On the same voyage)

I've been playing the next Alpha version for a bit and I did have a gunpowder storage aboard, though it was at a really weird spot, because it was actually a bunch of stairs. Though some ships have the gunpowder storage in a barrel near a cannon. I think something does need changing here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
I moved the localization of ammo storage on one of cannon decks because I needed right door to lead into lower deck. To make it working I had to move locator for gunpowder storage to a barrel near a cannon, because I thought that would be most natural.

I did see the ammo storage there. But why did I find an ammo storage at some stairs one time then? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
You probably mention an ammo storage in the cargo hold deck; I didn't changed anything there, so that location is original, as it was created by a modder who made that storages accessible (I think, maybe Maximus?).

When I go back to my home I'll look around and try to find some better place for ammo storage instead of stairs.
