Removing ships safley?

[Merciless Mark]

How can i go about removing ships from the Build mod safley?

Because there are some reskins and such that dont quite agree with my tastes. but when i attempt to remove a number of them im faced with instability in PoTC and random crashes when i go into sea battles.

You should either remove them or comment them out in Ships\ships_init.c. After that, either make a reinit (I-button) or (better) start a new game. That should disable the ships you don't like.

thats what i did, but it ended with PoTC crashing most of the time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Did you reinit or start a new game? Otherwise the game might try to load a ship it think should exist, but can't find the init_ships entry... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
If you could post an error.log from one of the crashes, maybe that'll shed some light on the crash?

I tried deleting all the additional ships that were added, the game crashes as soon as i try to start a new game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

and i cant seem to find error.log

aha i think i found the problem.

seems to work now

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--> case "Sch":
        refShip.ClosestPoint = 0.15;
        refShip.BestPoint = 0.625;
        refShip.RigType = sDet;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
im assuming it referrs to Schnyava, since i deleted that ship i tried removing this section, and it seems to work now.

EDIT:

I thougt..... the problem persist with post build...

I believe that "Sch" refers to all schooner type craft.
It should probably not be deleted.

Post your ships_init.c file to have a look <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

Its just a standard post build file. no changes what so ever, but when i start taking things out... it seems to crash as soon as i start a game
