buying and encountering ships

V

Vengeance

Landlubber
there are two lines on the pirate corvette that are:

refShip.CanEncounter = false;
refShip.CanBuy = true;

this means you can buy a ship but not encounter it or vice-versa

how can you have this on other ships like the frigate_sat
so you can buy he ship but no one else in the game would end up having it?

can the line be added into the other ships file or something and how can it be done?
 
Those lines are supposed to be ...

refShip.CanEncounter = false;
refShip.CanBuy = false;

... so you don't encounter it and can't buy that ship either!

The only way you were supposed to encounter it was as a quest ship.


However, they way you have it, you can buy it, as well.

Just add those lines to the sections of the ships you want to change.

do you mean i just add refShip.CanBuy = true; to the frigate_sat and put encounter on false and then i can buy the ship and not encounter it?

o and what quest is the pirate corvette in?
 
To Petros: Just in case you were wondering: I checked the latest modpack code and both settings are set to false there. Beats me why Vengeance has CanBuy set to true.

Why doesn't the frigate_sat not have a CanBuy = false setting? And what does the refShip.unique setting do?

To Vengeance: You can add these settings to any ship you like and change them how you like.

The Pirate Corvette is available from the Nigel Blythe quest (NOT the Artois Voysey quest) and from the sink the pirate ship near Falaise de Fleur quest.

how do you start that nigel blythe quest?! where do you take him to make him leave you to go attack the corvette or whatever or is the whole thing on Falaise de Fleur?

o and by the way, i have the canbuy set on true because i made the pirate corvette have 10000 cargo space, and the fastest ship in the game and i DONT want another convoy to have my newly edited killing ship in their convoy to use against me so all you can do is buy me ship and not encounter it in anyone elses hands. savvy?
 
To start the Nigel Blythe quest: Go to Quebradas Costillas and let Nigel kill Artois. Then hire Nige as your officer. I believe you should anchor at Oxbay port for the quest to continue. I never did play the quest myself though.

For the other quest: Go to the French governor at Falaise de Fleur and accept the quest to sink/capture the pirate corvette. Don't sink her, but capture her instead.

i did that before and i got the pirate coevette but i thought it was just a pirate ship anchored off the coast like a coastrider not actually a quest because i dont really read the quests from the gov about sinking ships off the coast i just blur past all the text and see the name so when im out there, i just know what ship it is and destroy it.
