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]

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]

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]

Oh, and I see you mentioned that you have a save for that black screen. You can upload/post a link and I will take a look.

Yes, are you using the updated code? This was a frequent problem that I thought I had fully resolved. The two fixes are to improve the transition to the shore after the last ship and eliminate that black screen freeze up, and also, if there is not enough space on the current shore for all the ships in the squadron, or you are too far away, it…[Read more]

Ha ha! That ship is a nice one. Sometimes a trick to get them to try and board you so you can take it. Save before the battle as sometimes it takes a few tries to get them to make the attempt because I think your ability to board them is disabled for that battle.

Odd you get load game crashes. I’ve never had that happen and it’s one of the more solid improvements made to this game. If you are willing, we may need to get some crash dumps and explore.

In the meantime, it is a bit of a ‘cheat’ but you may want to save before talking to the mayor about missions. You have much more ‘competition’ when in…[Read more]

Nice, Orazio! Got it in the game, assigned it to my character and looks great. I’ll upload it as part of the new version shortly.

I regret to inform you that MUSIC3-hat.ogg is dead…the day the music died.
