Escape from Oxbay

[Rad]

How can I ever escape from Oxbay in this new version? Every time when I try it I am immediatelly sunk by a French Battleship with one broadside salvo. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

you need to raise french colours to avoid being blown to splinters. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />
hit f2 and go to relations. then go to the french flag and raise french colours, then its just a matter of floating out of oxbay! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
p.s: i dont know whether it works or not, but maybe choosing an ally of france works to.
hope that helps <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" />

Yes, thank you. It´s something new here, I think, and it seems to me very useful. I think in real situation anybody would try to use false flag so as to get out from a siege. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

a few months ago i looked into the dialog files and found out that there is an other way to do the quest around oxbay, there is a dialog file of the barkeeper of oxbay and there are nathiel and the barkeeper talking about blowing up the french squadron.They talking about go with a little boat with a few men at the french ship while the french are drunk, and then blow the ships up!!!!! Tha`t gives more freedom, you can choose to escape with a corvette or blow up the vessels inmediatly!

Yes, it's true. Unfortunately, that's the only thing which was left for that option. There's no character of the name "Hardouin Beauvallet" whom you're supposed to make contact, even quest titled "EverardGordon_speak_break", which is to be started after dialog with a tavernkeeper, isn't present in quest_reaction.c nor both_reaction.c. The most clear proof that it's abandoned is following: in quest_texts.txt file the 3rd entry of mission "Story_1stTaskReceived" which should contain description of whole action (as I assume from Everald Gordon_dialog.c code) is skipped. So, the only option would be to create it. Unfortunately, I'm currently busy with testing and bug-clearing my mod and at the moment I can't do it.
