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]

I like that never say die and never relinquish attitude. AWESOME! Most of the time I am the same way. I am obsessive about this game also and there is not a better one out there presently that does everything this one does in the way it does it. Even though there is a lot of spaghetti code in there, the game design itself is pretty darn good.

OK duhh… I just glanced at it a little better now and saw the “shootist” bits in there. I initially just saw GUN_SPEED_BASE and got excited. Yeah that would be great if you could take a look at that.

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.

Whining is perfectly OK concerning the STORM engine Jeffrey. I have heard a LOT of really capable people bash the crap out of it in the past. The one guy we were hoping would help port POTC over to COAS/GOF over at PA! gave up on it after a few months for very similar reasons to what you are complaining about. As a mid level coder flunky who…[Read more]

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]

“There is a reason why I added some very capable class 5 ships to the mix. My thoughts were that a lot of these mass produced ships would be easy to handle by more inexperienced captains. I think they bring a lot of game play balance.”

When I first captured a VOC Escort, I saw the crew capability, hold, hull numbers, cannons and 5th rate and…[Read more]

In the 3rd person, the camera is super high up, and you can’t see anything near you, or the hull of your ship. The Soleil in GOF suffered similarly and people complained about it. The model files were changed for that ship, with different masts or camera locators…or something as I’m not versed on that sort of thing. Most links are dead, but I…[Read more]

Thanks Jeffrey!

Heh, just noticed that post you mentioned. I know why…or can at least surmise, that he caused a syntax error in the function, so it’s a run-time fail and all generated ships are now a default because it can’t execute the proper property settings for other ship types.

I posted a reply.

I don’t think any new weapons will cause need for further modification; it’s generic. The only specific is the list of cirass ids that won’t require the perk. Right now, I have included only cirass6, cirass12, and cirass13 in that list, so if there should be more, let me know.

You and I should probably discuss the easiest way to somehow…[Read more]

Jeffrey,

Wow, Just Wow!!!

I love stories like that! This is one of the reasons I love this game so much. I am going to leave your narrative here, but I am also going to cut and paste it into the “How is your game going” topic. I have meant to write over there myself but have been so busy and so ill.

I have never played with the Vasseau Amiral…[Read more]

I’m trying a couple things.

First, with cirass, only certain items like the Corsair Girdle, Fencing Gloves, and Cavalier boots will be able to equip both yourself and your officers will automatically equip them, even without the cirass perk. Any other cirass will still require the perk to use. However, there is also another problem in the…[Read more]

@Orazio, My intent is to put ALL of Jeffrey’s changes into the mega-patch which is finally nearing completion and then will just need tested.

Jeffrey, I indeed do the same concerning weapons given to companions. I probably push F6 quicksave more than I do any other thing in this game. You can never save too much.

BTW I am adding a few more…[Read more]
