Yeah, I too always thought if you captured a ship and either left it to sink, or set another officer command you should get the flag perk for that nation.

I made the change and so far, if I capture a ship where they fight back and I have to kill the captain, either setting another officer in charge, or simply allowing it to sink gives me the…[Read more]

Sure. Also, every once in awhile the captain is already dead, so it looks like I may need to also call this from the ShipDeadAsk case as well. This doesn’t look difficult and I’m sure I’ll figure it all out.

I briefly took a look and I wonder if it might be easier from within the transfer_main.c interface? Once you set a captain as prisoner, or is noted as killed; it could be added in both:

void SetEnemyToPrisoner()
{
ExitCaptureWindow();
SetCharToPrisoner(xi_refCharacter);
LAi_SetCurHP(xi_refCharacter, 0.0); // óìåð
// íåò èçìåíå…[Read more]

I found the weather problem very strange as I’d never seen it before. But after a session, I like to look for an error.log file. Lately, I don’t see one, or it’s very small with only a bad reference within Seadogs.c about the interface, which I suspect is from the game ending anyway and am not too concerned about it.

It was very surprising to…[Read more]

BTW, in initItems.c, I noticed awhile back (when I found cirass13 was missing definition), that there are some available item slots available in the array. The array size is 534, but the largest index used is 521. If the items (including the cirass13) you added are fewer than 13, you can still add cirass13 and your other new items without…[Read more]

3 mb worth of weather errors, these were the most repeated in the file:

RUNTIME ERROR – file: weatherWhrWeather.c; line: 899

How about getting the flag perk for a particular nation if a ship for that nation is captured and either kept or sunk?

…I’m tellin’ ya, after my recent episode, the French are after me!

Another error cropped up in my sailing of the sea…

Star Wars saga and the new release…just recently glanced at this thread and noted the paraphrased, “I didn’t love it.” I will now have to read through the entirety for the details, but prepare for response 🙂

I think it’s a combination of reload rate and NPC skill levels. Before going into the skill levels assigned (CalculateAppropriateSkills in GeneratorUtilite.c I believe), try this in CANNONSCannons_init.c first:

Scroll to end and just before the last brace }, after the property setting for the last cannon, insert this:

Oh my goodness! You know that zero before a fraction? My GUN_MIN_WT and GUN_MAX_WT were exactly that; numbers like .75 and .5. I just changed them to be 0.75 and 0.5 and put everything back into one long formula, without the extra lines and variables, but also with the parentheses it would need. Worked without error. That was the problem with…[Read more]

I had to do it…and it was both a fault of mine and what I suspected.

The .35 for the 35% the PA! member was looking for indeed caused a run-time error. This was probably also why I was having trouble with those GUN_ constants I was using that forced me to muck with the order of the calc in order to circumvent the errors I got using those; the…[Read more]

Gun and Cuirass mod testing review.

I think it’s good. I went back to an early save of my game, before I had the perk, but a couple officers did and others did not. I also had a Corsair Girdle among my inventory at the time, hoping I could equip it, found I could not back then, but held onto it anyway. I also had a slew of Spanish ones in my…[Read more]

LOL, but I will say, yesterday I was ready to wring necks. I literally had to relaunch 20 times only to receive log errors, to eventually creatively rework and wind up with 8 new lines of code and 3 new variables to get something workable, that should have only taken one line and one variable, but just couldn’t because spurious reasons given…[Read more]

What you see is the decision value for each considered pistol we were talking about.

I could certainly poke around and look for cannon fire stuff. See what I think about it.

Bear with me…I’m gonna whine some.

I am so tired of whatever means this game uses to parse/compile the C code. It constantly complains about missing ) parentheses. There are other quirks that aggravate. But I know what I’m doing when it comes to coding, I know when the syntax and () match. Yet, perfectly good code ‘breaks’ inside this game.…[Read more]
