Build 14 A 7 Problems and Bugs

I am stesting Build Alpha 7 and Pieter's suggestion I am starting this thread of bugs and problems


1. Very slow frame rate in boarding on bigger ships with many crew. This is so bad the game is unplayable in this situation.

2. Sometimes slow frame rate in ship to ship combat and with loading screens. Not unplayable.

3. Your officers attack you for no apparent reason on the decks of your ship.

4. No fast travel in Pointe a' Prete

5. Brothel has no one in it on Pointe a' Prete

6. Grenades don't work on boarding either out of the weapons chests or for the main character.

7. The second time through the traders on Pointe a Pitre have nothing to seell and nothing of mine showed up to sell either.

8. When playing Blackjack in the tavern on QC I lost with a blackjack to 18.

9. It appears that you can't here connon fire sounds unless you are sailing in the first person. In the third person sailing you hear the shout and see the smoke but hear nothing.

10. I found a double barrel pistol, and equipped it, but it won't load.

11. And here is another one. After smuggleing at Oyster bay, I was in ship to ship combat with the coast guard. After a successful boarding of one enemy ship the ohter one showed up as a sunk ship icon. It still there, still firing. I couldn't sail to, or board it, but I did sink it.



I will keep posting new issues in this thread as I find them. Any help or fixes will be greatly appreciated.

Added to the first post.

I had that too, that was pretty.. weird.
There also was a problem with the sails files, i can't ever go to 3d sailing mode without crashing the game >.<
that's why I reverted back to 14a6 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
What problem with the sails files? I never had that.

Yesterday I was testing the new Charlestown mod and I "accidentally" got into a fight with the town guards. I ran for my ship to set sail. When I got onto my ship's deck, the crewmember on there was running away from me just like the townspeople would in the town. That seemed somewhat odd to me and perhaps it has some sort of relation with the attacking officers issue.

No Problem.

Now if we can just some fixes. I remember back in the day when we would posts list like this and three or four people would enter a dialogue about them and then in a few days there would be fixes.

I think I understood what the problem was: all crewmembers were ENGLAND_CITIZENS, like Charlestown citizens. I solved it by moving them to LAI_GROUP_PLAYER instead (in attached file).

LOL. That would explain a lot. Thanks for catching that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
regarding attacking officers: i have seen officers not partcipating in fights, all the time they have 3 classes less Fame than my Hero. So possible if they are more away (hero - infamous) they will fight. Can that be?
 
That would greatly surprise me. As far as I know the reputation of your officers has no effect on anything in the game at all.
 
yes it does. i've seen that an officer with high reputation would make it possible for me to play a quest that you need to be 'matey' for while i'm known as 'swindler'.
 
another one, it's not allowing me to buy cannons for my ship. so I'm stuck with 4 pounders when I should be using 12 >.<
 
What do you mean by "not allowing you to"? What happens when you try?
 
I try and then I click install and then they don't install and all the buttons except exit stop working. now I am in the proces to see if it was just cause of my relations or something. the thing is, I was able to buy the ship but not buy guns. we'll see in a minute I guess if my game stops crashing every time I go to sea <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleep.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="-_-" border="0" alt="sleep.gif" /> ( I always get every single bug)
 
I guess I CANT check cause none of the stupid governments will give me forgiveness so I can get a letter of marque so I can check for myself if I can get the stupid #@%* cannons.

k after creating yet another new character, jumping through ALL the hoops, getting my letter of marque yadda yadda yadda. I STILL can't buy new cannons. got any cool code to fix this one Pieter? =D
 
you would be able to wriggle around the bug by capturing ships instead of buying them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
well I rped capturing the ship =P as I did in fact capture a british lugger vml. but then when I was at the pirate port repairing her I saw a pirate VML with over 17 speed. so I bought it and rped modifying it. but I lost my cannnons.

however, for my pirate characters it isn't all that important as pirates did in fact use small caliber (though generally 9 pounders was the small) so as to not sink the ships they were trying to get stuff out of. and in game it's the same way, I only use the cannons offensively to try and demoralise the crew and thin out the crew to make the boarding process easyer if I don't just force them into a surrender by the time I get close enough to board.

but 12 pounders would also be nice for the range, when being chased by a squadron of royal navy frigates and brigs for an hour and a half >.>
