Hehe, check it out here: <b><a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=7057" target="_blank">El Rapido's Ammo Restock Add-On</a></b> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Yesterday I tested the Rapid Raid mod for a bit and have noticed the exact same problem as Jason did: Every time I pressed the F9 button, one enemy Nathaniel Hawk would show up who isn't very strong. Please check this out. Maybe the code in elrapido.c s correct, but the function call in seadogs.c is not:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->        // El Rapido Rapid Raid -->
        case "Rapid_Raid":
            PlaySound("OBJECTS\raid.wav");
            if(Pchar.nation != FRANCE)
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 10, FRANCE, "friend", "enemy","A French infantry unit suddenly appears and attacks you!", "French Musketeer", 8, 4, 120, 360, 9, 7, 2, 0.8, 0, 0, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 12, SPAIN, "friend", "enemy","Spanish Conquistadors suddenly appear and attack you!", "Conquistador", 9, 5, 180, 400, 14, 6, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
            }
        break;
        // El Rapido Rapid Raid <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
 
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->
    // El Rapido Rapid Raid -->
        case "Rapid_Raid":
            PlaySound("OBJECTS\raid.wav");
            if(Pchar.nation != FRANCE)
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 10, FRANCE, "friend", "enemy","A French infantry unit suddenly appears and attacks you!", "French Musketeer", 8, 4, 120, 360, 9, 7, 2, 0.8, 0, 0, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 12, SPAIN, "friend", "enemy","Spanish Conquistadors suddenly appear and attack you!", "Conquistador", 9, 5, 180, 400, 14, 6, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
            }
        break;
        // El Rapido Rapid Raid <--

Wow! This one is a really old bunch of code! Where'd ya get that? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Of course this piece of code DOES NOT work with the Rapid_Raid function anymore, since there are new parameters in there. The number of attackers would be "SPAIN" in this call and so on...
I thought I had removed that from the archive a long time ago... Argh! <img src="http://beni.etaworks.ch/resources/s/smiley_ugly.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
But in the comments in elrapido.c everything is just fine... and I checked only the comments in elrapido.c over and over again.
I didn't even know, that the piece of code you mentioned here existed anymore. <img src="http://beni.etaworks.ch/resources/s/smiley_ugly.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

My fault! My fault! I knew, nobody would read the comments <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I am sorry for this inconvenience. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

No testers so far? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dp_nogd.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ng" border="0" alt="dp_nogd.gif" />
 
El Rapido,


I have downloaded file and am looking forward to testing. Unfortunatel I can't do it untill tomorrow.
 
I have downloaded it and added it to my modpack. So far, it doesn't work, but that's more likely my fault than yours. I merged a whooole lot of stuff together and I obviously made some mistakes somewhere. Heck; I can't even pick up my blade in the tutorial anymore using the F3 button! And no error.log files whatsoever! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
It does work, but, strangely enough, if you call for a Rapid Raid with your blade drawn using the F9 button, the Rapid Raid won't actually come until you put your blade away. What the HECK??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Now that's a strange one, you got there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Currently you must have a very funny version of POTC, Pieter. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I am very happy that there are at least some testers around.
Thank you very much! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
LOL. I think you're being quite right. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Your Rapid Raids ARE called immediately then, even if your blade is drawn? Hmm. I'll be having quite some work ahead of me to get the next update done. I don't want your people to have quite as crazy bugs as me... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Can you please test the Rapid Raid on your own system and see if a raid appears when you call one with your blade drawn? I tested again and, once more, when I called a Rapid Raid with my blade drawn, it would appear once I put my blade away. Crazy. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
I cant call a rapid raid, i have downloaded and installed it, but if i press f9 or numpad 9 nothing happens.
 
If you don't already have this code:
Add this to PROGRAM\CONTROLS\init_pc.c:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// El Rapido Rapid Raid -->
    CI_CreateAndSetControls( "PrimaryLand", "Rapid_Raid", CI_GetKeyCode("VK_NUMPAD9"), 0, true );
// El Rapido Rapid Raid <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Add this to PROGRAM\seadogs.c:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->        // El Rapido Rapid Raid -->
        case "Rapid_Raid":
            PlaySound("OBJECTS\raid.wav");
            if(Pchar.nation != FRANCE)
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 10, FRANCE, "friend", "enemy","A French infantry unit suddenly appears and attacks you!", "French Musketeer", 8, 4, 120, 360, 9, 7, 2, 0.8, 0, 0, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                Rapid_Raid("soldiers", 12, SPAIN, "friend", "enemy","Spanish Conquistadors suddenly appear and attack you!", "Conquistador", 9, 5, 180, 400, 14, 6, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
            }
        break;
        // El Rapido Rapid Raid <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Well, it works everytime, everywhere and every game, no matter whether you have drawn your blade, tuba or daffodil <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Then what FOR CRYING OUT LOUD is wrong with my game??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
when are you going to release your mastercrafted gun(s) and sword(s) el rapido, i love to see some hard to get swords and guns.
 
Well, the work is in progress... but unfortunately my time is very rare at the moment. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
University courses have begun, but I hope I will manage to tinker around with POTC modding in my spare time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
I have figured out what was wrong:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// El Rapido Rapid Raid -->
    CI_CreateAndSetControls( "PrimaryLand", "Rapid_Raid", CI_GetKeyCode("VK_NUMPAD9"), 0, true );
    MapControlToGroup("Rapid_Raid", "FightModeControls"); <-- This line was missing from init_pc.c
// El Rapido Rapid Raid <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->So it is working properly now. However, the worldMap.isLoaded == "true" statement causes an error in error.log, so I removed that. Thanks for this mod. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
