CAYMAN KAI BUG

T

the pirate

Guest
Okay, I talked to a guy in Conceicao who told me that it's my lucky day. I paid him 19 tousand and something for the treasure information. I looked in my log and it says that I should go ashore in Cayman Kai and that the treasure is in the cavern. But when I go ashore in Cayman Kai beach and want to go inland (there is only one exit) I get a locked lock and I can't "open" the passage (or the cavern - I don't know what it is, it isn't written). So, is this a bug or what?
 
Do you use Build 13 Update 2? If not, I recommend you get it: It fixes several location bugs, such as this one.
 
I don't belive it. I'm not using that update. I actually got the build because the game anoyed me with it's terrible bugs and the build is full of them too!!! Even if I got the update I would have to start from the beginning and I'm tired of doing that - I have done many quests so far. I wouldn't start from the beginning for million dollars man. Is there any way to fix this shit by not having to start all over again?

Well, can you at least tell me more of these buggy locations, so that I don't have to go there again?
 
Be glad that there IS an update that fixes the bugs. At least WE're still working on fixing the bugs, unlike Akella who abandoned the game after release.

There are a couple of buggy locations in Build 13, all on the new islands. They're all fixed in Update 2. It is not possible to fix the bugs without starting a new game, because the locations need to be reinited, which only happens at game start.

I recommend you continue play in Build 13.0 until you're done with your current game, then get Update 2 and start over again.

Update 2 does improve gameplay a bit and fixes a bunch of bugs, so getting it does come recommended.
 
Something is wrong with the update. I can't install it. I downloaded it from Hawker T on this forum.
 
What happens when you try to install it?

My website works properly again, so you can always redownload if the file somehow became corrupted.
 
Oh and, I want to say that BUILD 13 is truly great work and a major game improvement. I was just a bit angry when I came to Cayman, cos I'm getting tired of the bugs, but I didn't mean any offence to you or anyone else who worked on the build. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />



No, I can't open the file correctly? How should it be installed??
 
It is a normal WinZip file. You should be able to open the file and extract it to your main PotC folder.
 
well, first unzip everything, then place the files over the old files (click yes when it's asked if you want to overwrite) in the right place in your main PotC directory. the names of the files are the same, so it should be pretty easy.

oh. just saw your post. oh well.
 
ok I have installed all updates I could find and I want to start from the beginning, but since I have gone far with my old character, I was wondering how can I make him start with some items that I want. I need to know where to write it in the character.init and where can I find the names of the items I want (which file and paragraph).

Can you plz make an example for, say, a musket and a battle armor.

thx
 
Easiest way: Add lines like this to console.c:
GiveItem2Character(pchar,"youritem");
You can find the items in PROGRAM\ITEMS\initItems.c
You must add these lines BELOW the <i>ref pchar = GetMainCharacter();</i> line. Then press F12 during the game to receive the items.
 
Sea_ReloadStart();
LAi_SetCurHPMax(&captiveCharacter);
trace("sea active");
captiveCharacter.ship.type = "Tartane1";
Ship_CreateForCharacter(&captiveCharacter, 0, "Lifeboat") // ccc apr03
dumpattributes(captiveCharacter);
trace("ship created");
string sGName = "releasedprisoner";
ref rGroup = Group_GetGroupByIndex(Group_CreateGroup(sGName));
trace("group created");
float x,z,ay;
ref pch = GetMainCharacter()

Under this? I wrote GiveItem2Character(pchar,

What now? Like this GiveItem2Character(pchar,"blade25");

It isn't working. PLEASE HELP

I answered this over where you posted it as a new topic.

I trust you'll find it there.

Under this?

In PROGRAM\console.c near the very top of the file. Within the first ten lines of the top or something.
