Never mind about the save game. I know why. The Islands needed to be reinitialized for the Cayman fix, but there are certain attributes for the Island = LostShipsCity (it’s considered an island) that get reset so you can never find it because when you get the key, it was changed to be ‘visible’, but the Cayman change causing the reset/reinit,…[Read more]

Give me a save where you are trying to find the COAS and I will see if I can figure out the problem.

It is random for each new started game, for each NPC hero. I understand your idea and maybe for a few of the historical characters that have well-established personas, we can keep their ‘random’ reputation within a certain range. I would want MK to agree and confirm that sort of change.

Certainly. And thank you too. I really appreciate when you point these things out. In this case, I probably never would have known of this problem because it had never happened to me with the characters I have played in that area. It probably only happens with certain character models and I would have never known about it if you had not given…[Read more]

This turned out to be a problem in the geometry collision detection and something about your character model, combined with the modeling for that area, resulting in some memory data going awry and a memory violation; this was the crash and was probably particular to some form of modeling for that specific character that was not accounted for in…[Read more]

Wow, when you described a crash, I expected when entering the temple, not simply walking toward it. I will have to run this in debug mode to see what the problem is; that will tell me what place in the code is causing the crash and why.

I will check this, but don’t think I’ve had a problem there, so it might be specific to your game state. Can you give me a save from that spot in your screen shot so I can try with your character? A link upload or something?

My mistake. I did not upload the correct version of that file. I am uploading a correct one now, but that download is large now, so if you want to correct it yourself instead of waiting for the whole Update.zip for that one file, it’s simple.

Uh oh, that is likely a problem that needs fixed as much of Cayman was changed to borrow things from Curacao and name mismatches resulted, probably breaking the treasure map assignments for that location. I should add that I still know of one quirk that needs resolution when going back/forth between one of the shores where you magically get…[Read more]

OK, the new fighter option for boarding tested and uploaded. Look under Options/Mod Options, scroll to bottom.

The music changed to only Pirate/England with shanty. There is a way to circumvent that and have them play all the time at sea, for all nations if you replace the RESOURCEINIShantymusic_alias.ini names in the section for…[Read more]

Oh, and if you are doing the Morgan quest, that is the Pirate line and you can already play a nation questline (France, England, Holland, Spain) after you are done (or when Morgan tells you to come back much later and to go ahead and work for another nation…but you have to start/finish the whole thing during that waiting period or you must…[Read more]

Ha ha, those songs were one of my favorite part of AC IV, so glad you like them.

I noticed I didn’t really answer your question about the Pirate ransoms. The sale does not really affect your relation to Pirates; they always dislike you when you meet at sea and relation with them is not affected, nor does sinking their ships increase bounty…[Read more]

I have now implemented a way to Play All Nation Questlines in a single game. There is also an option to have your fighters spawn on a boarding deck near you every time. Neither of these is tested or uploaded, but they are coded, so they will hopefully make it into a future upload soon. The new Shanty music option was changed slightly per a request…[Read more]

Q: is there any penalty for turning down propositions in the tavern?
A: There is no penalty for declining a proposition in the tavern, or if declining at the very beginning of the conversation on their ship. There is a penalty in that personal relation if you ask for details, then decline.

While there is more pending material due from MK, he has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. In the meantime, since I have some fixes and new developments already in hand, I decided to release what I have, knowing further updates/upgrades will likely follow in a short time.
