Tortuga problem

U

Unlucky Jack

Landlubber
Dealing with Tortuga has been one disappointment after another. My first encounter with tortuga ended with its cannons still firing on my ship with extremely acurate shot at a distance that would be at least 4 times that of any other fort or ship, so far that I could no longer get my spyglass to actually register the fort. So for my second encounter I loaded up my fleet with battleships and MOWS and took on the fort directly but the entrance to the port forced me to use "Sail to" to get my ships in range. After defeating the fort cannons, I began the land attck which went well until the fourth deck, after which it would no longer load a boarding deck and just goes to a black screen. This is not a CTD as the game works fine, but more like a missing deck or something. I did this twice just to be sure but it failed in the same spot. very dissappointing.
 
try raising the pirate flag first. i don't think the pirates would let you into their port under a hostile flag. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
Oh, you're really unlucky...

Which Build version do you use?

And, of course, please <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">enable error logging</a> and tell us what's in system.log and error.log if you haven't already done so. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
didn't we already know that the tortuga fort caused a crash, along with most, if not all, of the forts on the new islands?

After my first visit I was aware it was a pirate fort, however my first visit I had no idea.

This isn't a crash. The game is still functioning, It just fails to go to the next "deck". From the black sceen, F1 and f2 keys are still functional. It does not CTD. Think of it like my character steps in to a dark empty room. Nothing to see, nothing to do and no way out.
 
I do recall hearing reports of black screens upon boarding forts in the past. I think Tortuga was indeed one of the main problems. We should check if that was fixed in the <i>Build 14 Alpha 8 WIP 2 Pirate_KK</i> version. That does have the full fort boarding code rewritten, so it might have been fixed in the process.

This is exacaly what happens with tutorial deck when I mod the game bit to much
 
then why are you ending up in a fort after the tutorial deck? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
Then don't mod the game <i>too</i> much. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

I don't! I mean if I mod the game and try starting it sometimes makes it so when I start a new game to get my NEW mods on... After it loads the screen just fades black... I dont appear on a fort... or on tut deck its just.. nothing.....................
 
Having a bit of fun, are we? hehe <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

The freelance modder: The room of darkness is some code made by Pieter Boelen if you mod the game too much!
Fix: you can still walk around in the room, but you need to find the SPECIAL knife to cut you down from the Gallow of Irony, mate! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
LOL. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />

Seriously though, you might want to <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">enable error logging</a>. That might give you a clue as to what's wrong with your code. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
