ModPack Issues

Pieter,

As I mentioned your fix got the modpack working. I love the stormy start. I have discovered some issues with it you may want to look at.

Weapons -- none of the new weapons are visible. In some cases you can see partial descriptions but, with the exception of the Solingen Rapier you never see the name. In most cases you can buy and sell the blanks, but you cannot equip them.

I haven't found any weapons chest in the cabin.

Repairs-- I can't get fast repairs to work even when I have plenty of planks and sails.

Fire -- I am not very familiar with fire in this game, but when you are in ship to ship combat every time you get a fire and press "c" all your guns empty w/o firing and reload. This does not very realisitic, (every crew member wouldn't drop everything to fight the fire) and it is kind of a pain.

I know it is a lot of complex issues to get lined up. I couldn't begin to do it myself.

Hope this helps move the game along.

I reckon this is what might happen if you install the update without installing a full version. Did you download a PotCMods.zip or PotCMods_update.zip? If you downloaded the second, please download the full modpack and install that. The update was meant to be installed on a previous version of PotCMods.zip and doesn't include many large source files that are required. That would explain why you don't see the weapons.

In your cabin, there are a bunch of swords on the wall. That is the weapons locker. The weapons isn't an actual chest.

The fast repairs only work if you are at a safe anchorage, which means you're on the sea, but have the "Go to land" (anchor) icon visible. This is a new change so that you can't instantly repair your ship in battle. If you don't like this mod, open up PROGRAM\BuildSettings.h and disable "REALREPAIR". Very near to this setting, you will find the "GUN_DOUSING" setting. If turned off too, the guns of your ship will not empty when you execute a firedrill.

I hope this helps you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Thank you Pieter,

That of course makes perfect sense and probably explains why when I went to the Blacksmith, on Dowessen the screen went black nothing happened. I thought I was using the full modpack, but I download it and install it again and let you know. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />


Thanks Jason
 
Please note: With full modpack I don't mean the full Build 12.1. On my modpack page, there are two download links, one for the update (which requires a previous modpack version) and the full version (which only requires Build 12.1). Just to make sure it's clear.
BTW: I just updated the modpack a few hours ago with Catalina's Animist Quest fix, onle I don't know if it works. Please tell if it does.
Anyway: Good luck and have fun! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
PIeter,

I just installed the full modpack from a previous download and it fixed the problem! Duh! I hate being so dull! Pass the dunce cap please.

Do I have to download the full pack or just the updat to get the animasts quest fix? And will whatever I download include the amor fix you gave me on Frday?

It shouldn't matter which one you download. If you already have some PotCMods version, the update should suffice. If I did everything correct (I sure hope I did), both include the Animist quest fix and the armor fix and should work properly.
 
Pieter,

When I make the update, do I have to start a new game or can I just reinitialize?

This all is working great in the version I have. Very nice job indeed.

You'll need to start a new game. I'm not sure whether it would cause crashes if you don't, but it's for sure that a lot of the new functions won't take effect unless you start a new game. Possibly, it could be made so that you don't have to start a new game, but I don't know how to, so for now, I'd just recommend starting a new game.
(BTW: No need worshipping; no need worshipping <i>me</i> anyway)
