From LAi_boarding.c, it looks like the current maximum it will use is up to n < MAX_GROUP_SIZE (which is 13), making the highest locators it will use to spawn characters as: loc12 and aloc12

Going back through some previous stuff…

Error: Group_GetGroupByIndex io oiiu
Error: Group_CheckTask io oiiu

The above log displays are removed

-Stiofán Ó Siadhail still has Old Argosy Bark rather than a Sloop. Cú is displaying as CŃ. ( ú can be put in by holding ALT and typing 0250 on the numpad.)

The ship name is changed to reflect Cú.…[Read more]

Ah, scratch that option thing…I forgot that I introduced two global arrays right from the beginning of this upgrade just for that purpose…to not require a new game if we want new options. I can probably accommodate that.

That auto-equip thing…I don’t think MK likes it either. That might be one of the debates I won and I think I want to stick with it. They choose in their own self-interest, the most powerful, fastest, accurate weapon (based on some weighted feature importance).

You will have to continue living with that…if I were to introduce an option…[Read more]

Fixed the Pirate dialog so you can no longer ask them to join you if your squadron is at max.

Hmm, that fix may have magically fixed the item problem too. Everything previously there, stayed in inventory now.

Ha! Very helpful. I used the save while in the moneylender’s shop, since you had the mummy powder there, but had not yet delivered the letter. Oddly, the crash has nothing to do with your items. Not even sure why swapping that out prevented your crash, but more than likely just luck upon reloading and some data changes that altered some…[Read more]

Also, do you have one of those saves from the fight with the Dutchman, that crashes on load? I’d like that file.

Phew, I’m going to have to add to my written list and work through.

I do have a couple responses handy for some of these, though.

Sky looking like two sunrises is attributable to the fact that in the 06 hour skies texture, sky_LF.tga.tx has a section of backlit clouds in the picture. Combine that with the fact that the game inserts a sun, with…[Read more]

First, apologies for my response promptness being a bit slow the last week or so…I’ve been buried with ‘real job’ stuff. They take all the fun away.

Anyway, that sky thing has been bugging me for awhile. Hraktuus also mentioned it and I’ve seen it myself. He also had the case where some random texture file gets put there, and you see fonts…[Read more]

Yes, it is huge. But I think I’ve lost that debate with MK, so it is what it is.

To get the recent fixes/updates, yes, just download Update.zip and copy/overwrite everything. Only files needed for latest fixes are in the update, so it is much smaller download.

You should not need to worry about your existing saves, they should stay in your…[Read more]

That is not really a bug, but a side effect of having so many more NPC ‘heroes’ you are competing with. All the characters you can select at the start of a new game, when you select one of them, all the remaining of that same list get created as ‘heroes’ in the game, and they travel around, taking mayor missions, using smugglers, taking crew,…[Read more]

Those beeps only occur during a ‘trace’ of the ship vectors to create contour. Either the ship model needs fixing, or the ship needs to be removed from the game. Because when the vectors of the contour don’t work right, it messes up all other vectors for the flags and such, too.

We can identify them if you turn on logging. In start.ini, change…[Read more]

Your trading problems are totally related to the competition. In my game at level 32 – five of my fellow captain NPCs are dead, four of them work for me and are holding down ships I want to keep in port controllers and another 7 work for me as officers and ship captains. With 16 captain no longer my competition, I get more governor missions and…[Read more]

Ah, at Cayman. The problem may be due to the modifications to that island to now include Bodden’s Landing as a similar problem from GOF I had already fixed long ago, but Cayman shores were recently changed and might have caused this issue again. If you can provide me the save file, with the name of the subfolder in your SAVE directory it comes…[Read more]

Thinking about this a little more, forget the Piragua or Pirogue. I think I could square rig a tartane like I did for the Dogger to give us a Piragua. There are really no definitive drawings or plans for these anyway.

So I would narrow it down to a Cromster or an English 5th/4rth rate like the HMS Tigre. Judging from your work on the galleon I…[Read more]

I see from your output it is still using fmodex.dll. I recently changed the SoundService to replace fmodex.dll with fmod.dll. First, let’s try the newer update to see if perhaps the newer fmod will work for you. The update is much smaller than the original download, so not as painful a…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply. I have had my Grandkids with me for the last several days so they are taking up most of my time. I am actually getting back on the road right after I write this to take them back to their parents who have been in Florida. Its a 9 hour drive to their house so not looking forward to it.

Anyway I have given your question a…[Read more]
