Build 14 Alpha 6 update 2

i downloaded and installed the b14a6 version of the mod 2 hrs ago and it's awesome so far <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
but i have one question - from what i gather, with the new mod, a new corpse/looting system has been introduced - the corpses no longer clutter up the area - but it appears i'm no longer able to loot any of them! am i missing something? i can't loot corpses of indians, bandits or other sailors in boarding battles. i tried using the T key and F3 when getting close to corpses, as well as the action menu (no options for looting corpses there either). do i need to change something in the mod settings for the corpses to become lootable? or is this how it's supposed to be?
 
well, i've never been able to do it. you're supposed to stand near the feet of the corpse to loot it, but that never worked in my case.
 
Strange. When you walk up to a corpse, do you get to see the "hand" icon in the upper right corner of the screen? That's how it's supposed to work. Note that the icon appears at the corpse's legs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
so i have change the mod settings back to corpsemod 2? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
nope. the only icon that shows is the gun/knife icon indicating i can proceed to the next stage of the fight. oh and i checked the corpses from head to toes.
 
UPDATE: ok. i just ran a little check by starting a new game and killing a random person in the street and looting their corpse. it worked. :/
question is - does that mean i have to delete my old savegame and start over? or is there some way to try and fix the problem?
 
You DO have corpsemode 4 enabled? Hmm. Weird. Perhaps something's wrong with it in Alpha 6 Update 2. I never did test it myself, due to my everlasting lack of time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
In BuildSettings.h you can set that all items are automatically gathered (except potions), that's what I use. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
ok, more bugs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
now i noticed that whenever i start a new game, most of the randomly generated characters (ie. captains) are nameless (eg. " - boatswain")
any fix for this?
 
i've seen that a few times, although not that abundantly. only one or two times in a game.
 
Uh? Sounds like a random fluke. Does starting another new game work?

ended up with nameless npcs 3 times in a row.
then i ran into another bug. enemy battleships kept surrendering to my ketch. and i couldn't board a vessel that had struck its colors. oh and when i opened fire on it, i got a message saying "No nation - hostile"
 
Uhm. You SURE you installed correctly then? Sounds like something's wrong. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

i'll try reinstalling then. should i install the build 13 full first or is it ok to install build 14 straight away and then the update?
 
You MUST install Build 13 Final before installing the Build 14 stuff. Correct order:
1) Build 13 Final
2) Build 14 Alpha 6
3) Build 14 Alpha 6 Update 2
 
Great! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
the battleships actually could be surrendering, but not to you. there must be an enemy of theirs around somewhere, and THAT's what they surrender to. that's why you can't board them either.
