FINALLY A NEW QUEST FOR PotC!!!

I don't think anything in the FBQ should interfere with sounds - and I still have mine... ??? Odd stuff...

If I find half a moment I may finally add Fred Bob's suggestion of making the FB skin one you can "put on" in the officer dialog. He wrote a very funny bit of dialog to go with it.

I just love that he's done the dialog for this - sure makes the character seem all the more real, doesn't it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
FBQ

Thank you for your answers.
SirCristopherMings: These are my intallations: POTC, build `11-standard`, build `11-extra` textures, gunboat, weathered skins, weapons mode is off and all items has been tweaked a little. So no soundpack installed without reinstall. But who knows maybe I better do this sequence again with extra super reinstall everywhere. Puh.
Catalina: I´ve found after many hours of testing that it´s the file GREETINGS_ALIAS thas causes the sound error. And that odd because what´s new in that one: Just 3 references to 3 voices??? All other stuff´s working.
 
Hummm. I wonder what I missed doing there... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Don't really know what to say about that. I'm trying to get some existing PotC sounds to work for a new mod I'm building but it's not happening for some reason... I'll look in GREETINGS_ALIAS to see what's up, perhaps I can solve this dilemma...

SOMETHING TO NOTE:

I have been playing the game with Fred Bob as one of my officers, and have run into an oddity that I am not totally sure how to explain.

Fred Bob gets displaced from his posiiton by Danielle - he gets "bumped" to the #3 position of four. Suddenly he's talking weird - well, weird for him, anyhow - he's talking just like any of the other `tavern-hired` officers. I don't know WHY he is not accessing his own dialog anymore - the dialog is still there and Fred Bob's character profile has not been altered... It's like the SKIN got bumped but not the character ID - even tho he is called "FRED BOB" when you talk to him... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Weirdness. I'm going to test this further with a different `quest-hired` officer (who does not have proper dialog either) and see what happens with him. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Cant wait to try it! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
**here be spoilers, if you haven't already played this lovely quest**

I'm almost finished with the quest... it had a few odd snags along the way, such as after I get Estrella Disguised. The first time I got her, I went right into the tavern, and THAT's where that cadre of Spanish soldiers appeared, instead of at the rope bridge. It was great, they all pile into the room, absolutely filling it, and no one can draw a blade because of the settings of the room. So I just moved through the crowd and out the door. BUT because they appeared there instead of at the bridge, Armand never appeared when I reached the beach.

So that's all taken care of now, thanks to my `super-frequent` saving. Armand has his lady back (I love your skin for him, by the way, Cat), and I'm to gather a reward from Ines in the QC tavern, right? Because I just now got to her, after shooting my way through the nasty pirates surrounding the island (not a total loss... I was able to upgrade from a level 6 to a level 2 ship in one go), but she has nothing to say on the matter.

Will she only give me Armand's message if I had talked to her before talking to Armand? Because I didn't...
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> WOW, that is WEIRD! They aren't supposed to spawn there! Humph... Have to fix that... (but HOW???) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Alan, did you READ the README file? (is it an updated readme file?)

The letter is not going to be there... You got your reward from Armand already when he says farewell and he and Estrella run off. Armand mentions a letter - which is an opening for a future mod - but it's not going to BE THERE until he and Estrella settle somewhere, hidden from the Spanish navy... It was meant to be an opening for a mod spanning the two archipelagos, the current one and the one added by the PMT expansion package. But I'm not going to write any mods for the expansion package, so if it's done at all, it'll have to be done somewhere in the regular archipelago.

OOOoooohhh... ok. Rad.

I was gonna say before, too, when I did get to fight that cadre on the bridge (with my 63 HP BC - whack, augh! whack, augh! whack, augh!), I was wishing I could see them fall off one by one. Same with balcony locations, docks and those catwalks on IM. How Errol Flynn, no?
 
Maaan, I WISH they had been able to fall off of that bridge TOO!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />
 
"Sacre bleu, zut alors, non monsieur--AUGH! AAAAAYYIIIEEEE!" *splat*

It's not possible to walk on the beach below the bridge, is it.
 
Hey, that should be in SPANISH, not French! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

And no, you can't walk on the beach there. I tried to swim to it but you can't. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Oh, duh... wrong nation entirely. I guess when I think of a bunch of soldiers getting hacked up, I think of the French...
 
Yeah, I decided to pick on the Spanish, this time... It was the sight of their governor that did it. That purple outfit, LOL! Imagine the lovely Estrella seeing that guy for the first time, after she'd met and fallen in love with Armand! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Of course the FRENCH governor I have always thought looked like a little boy playing `dress-up`. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

FBQ

Catalina, I´m sorry for complaining about the sounds in FBQ. Now I´ve installed FBQ on a clean build 11 and everythings ok. I´ve done so many tweaks etc etc so I don´t know whats up or down any longer. Jack R.
 
Naw, don't be apologizing about that, JackR, I'm glad people post here about their experiences with this quest - it gives me the opportunity to fix what's wrong!

Glad you got it working correctly again! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
