hi... first, great work with the mod. just found out about it and had to reinstall POTC instantly and i'm an hooked again already, but there's one little but really anoying problem.

as soon as i try to leave oxford i see my ship for a sec, then it goes to the cut scene and after that i just see my ship getting hit and sinking like a rock instantly, i can't even push a button to move it before it's on the bottom of the sea and i find myself on that little boat with the 2 poor members left of my crew.

is this a bug or am i supposed to loose it?

p.s. sorry, but i've just seen that there is a bug subforum, so please move it if it should be there. hope it's no dupe either cause i didn't search in there also... my bad. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

p.p.s. just if you need to know, it's a clean english install just with build 12, the post and update - nothing else changed.
 
This is indeed intentional. A new mod is that you can raise any flag you like. So if the French ships see you leaving port while you have an English flag raised, they will sink you. That's why you should raise French colours instead. That should get you safely out of the harbour. Please note: A fake flag doesn't always work. You might be recognized every now and then as well. <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" />

This is funny, since I just joined the board to ask this very question! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

It does pose an interesting role playing dilema right out of the gate, which is nice when you think about it. It just seems a bit harsher than most games would do...

About raising the flag, If I recall correctly, there is very little time if any at all from the point of selecting the ship's boat at the end of the pier and being blown to bits. Can we choose the flag we're flying before we get back onto the ship? That would probably enable us to 'sneak' past the French. I'll have to re-read the docs and check that out.

I never played PotC the first time yet without the build mod. Is this going to be too much - too soon or will all the additions and changes fit right into the main game?

Thanks!
 
You can raise the French flag before you go to sailing, yes. Thank heavens. Otherwise you'd be blasted to bits before you managed to raise it. Before you go to sailing mode, press the F2 button and go to nations relations. Then go to France and select "Raise French colours".
 
it doesn't work for me
it still stops me from raising the colours that im less than neutral with and i have the latest updates.
 
In that case, please wait until the next update and see how to that works. It'll be done either today or tomorrow. I already have it all working; only the compiling is a bit hard work as well. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
