National quests

[Marinx]

I had a problem with starting the spanish line quests. I had a good reputation and spanish patent but when I asked for work, governor general told me this: "I hear that you have close ties with the Brotherhood of the Coast. I am therefore cautious of a certain... shall we say, conflict of interest with".

I only started Morgan quest so I don't know if this is what's preventing me from getting spanish quests.
So I started looking within files how to avoid this and I find a way. Just for the record I have basic (even less than basic) knowledge with c++ <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So if anyone have problem with this follow this steps:


Open file \Age of Pirates 2\Program\DIALOGS\russian\Common_Governor.c (I use UltraEdit-32, but you can edit even with Notepad)
Of course create a BACKUP first.

Find a line
link.l1 = DLG_TEXT_BASE[42];
link.l1.go = "onlyGenWork_2";

"onlyGenWork_2" rename into "work_1"

Now this lines should look like this:
link.l1 = DLG_TEXT_BASE[42];
link.l1.go = "work_1";

And that's it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />

Also I found out that all the text in teh game is in \Age of Pirates 2\Program\Text directory and it is called by files in \Age of Pirates 2\Program\DIALOGS\russian\ so you can, in similar way, edit whatever you want if you have troubles with something else.

Hope this helps somebody


EDIT

I just figured out that I gave wrong name for topic. This fix is for all national quest not just for Spain.

All these codes are just way too complex for my taste lol

All you gotta do is continue the piracy line until the Spanish ship interception, before the Panama raid. Upon finishing that particular mission, Morgan will give you permission to take on other national quests.

Until now I wasn't even aware that I had started piracy line <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Yep, once you start working for Morgan, you are considered to be involved with the pirates.

Any change of code is surprises in the future. You don't desire understand why it's so. You try to make only as it is pleasant to you. It is your personal BUG.

True, but if you look this code which I changed, you'll see that affects only that what I wrote in post above and nothing else. And BACKUP every time you want to mess with game files so this surprises can be avoided.
