So far I have enjoyed sailing around. It has been missed ever since I laid the old Seadogs to rest several years back. The 2nd installment, Pirates of the Caribbean never felt fun, too locked into a specific story. Think I never really played beyond the part where the ghosts show themselves.
So THANK YOU for this great mod. To my luck the 2.6.0 came around just weeks before I found Seadogs: City of abandoned ships on GoG.com so I gave it a try. It’s not without it hiccups, but they strangely don’t bother me as much as they have in so many other modded games. I’m anxious to try the new stuff when it’s ready. Guess I’ll have to start a new game for it, but whatever. I can take my experience with me and that counts for something as well.

A tip: If you start in Antigua there is a quest doable in town that should net you 10k pieces and a nice walloon sword.

I can’t see the long post I made just before my reply to the last. Sigh.
So here I go again.

Cayman island is having some problems. If I sail to Deserted beach then I am met with cold rock and no mooring. If I use the sail to.. command, then I end up where the map says Shores of Esmeralda. If I use the sail to.. command to get to Shores of Esmeralda I happen a bit further west of the placement on the map. But what is really wrong is the landmass around me. I can accept the landmass to the west (Yucatan) but the whole southern horizon seems to be 1 large landmass all the way to the east. So I sailed eastward as my ship was too heavy and found a passage between the landmass and a small island (to the north of the landmass and more or less due east from Boddens landing). Somewhere on the other side I was teleportet to Guadeloupe island. The player03 – Gold save if you would look at it,

I had a runtime error show up when trying to leave Saint John’s, error logs included.

Havana lighthouse is more or less missing? At least I didn’t see it when I found out where I could moor. In front of a large cliff side. I took a screenshot of it, Lighthouse Havana.

The screenshot named Woman quest shows a word duplicated in the sentence.

I noticed that ship names are written with ‘ at the start, but not at the ending, see the screenshots Shipname. I guess there should be 1 at the ending as well.

So I have happened upon a french battle xebec while I have taken a corvette from 1 of the npcs. What stirs me, is that no matter how much of the enemy crew I kill before boarding, I loose about 200 men. I have tried pummeling them all the way down to about 20%, dosen’t change the outcome compared to taking them head on fully loaded. I thought it would matter having superior numbers.
The faster I board the ship, the less damage I take from their cannonballs, the more men I have left after the battle.

It would be the Player03 – yucatan sea battle.

In shops, I’m now 10 cereals to 0 cats. Just found a cat on the battle xebec.

[fruitn]

So I have better luck finding the Cereal for sale than a new cat. Can count more than 5 instances of Cereal for sale, 0 cats. I had thought it would be a bit harder finding the cereal per what is written somewhere about it being a secret godlike item (or whatever it was, been a while since I did read it).
So I might try my hand at editing the chances of the cats, but I have no clue as where to start.

If you look at the pictures, you’ll see a box of the sky not rendering right. This is happening south of Puerto Rico, during a night sky looking north. There is also a savefile included, Player01 -> Horizon.
This is not the first time I’ve seen it happen.

EDIT: So having sailed manually, the box slowly follows the sky around. From time to time it renders, not always a matching picture to the rest of the sky. Persisting through the day and night.

Also, having sailed from Puerto Rico towards Nevis, the game loads Nevis. When looking north towards Puerto Rico and Hispaniola I have open horizons around. If you load the save Player01 Nevis – Sea I have just entered the waters around Nevis.

If you look at the sails in the pictures named sails, I suddenly got them partially transparent. The save is Player01 – Sails.

EDIT: I included some logs, booted the game up anew and these things have disappeared 🙂

That beside, this page don’t like me editing my posts. See the picture EDIT.

Every once in a while I hear 2 beep noises when entering a seabattle and the graphics go awry. See the Google drive I linked earlier, Beepbeep01 and Beepbeep02.
This particular time it happened when engaging the Gentlemen of Luck near Bridgetown.

Seems like I did miss applying the update to the game folder. I noticed the fmod.dll missing.
Though it didn’t help, still getting that black screen when taking the last ship or it surrenders.

[fruitn]

I downloaded everything the 30th, so I can’t have missed much. Took everything available from the Mega drive.

I am located at Cayman, Shore of Esmeralda with 6 ships in my party.
I tried reloading before accepting the captains request, but I ended with the same result. Albeit with a 4th ship to conquer.

As of late I can’t get to trade with stores. They are all busy with other customers, asking me to come again tomorrow. Maybe I should stay in town long enough to experience tomorrow, for sailing for another port does not help.

Where would I be able to find the logs?
I am running the Sea Dogs from GoG.com, but I don’t believe that matters.

The game have crashed a few times on me, quite randomly it seems. A few times the graphics have gone nuts when entering a sea battle. Flags stretch till the horison. The menu buttons are gone, white boxes in their place.

I once entered battle and started a new game, I got 3rd person control of my character and the guy never showed up on deck.

[fruitn]

So I have a (pirate) quest about taking the gold from a French fleet. When I take the last ship, it surrenders, I sink it, I get a black screen instead of meeting up on the beach. Could it be that we have moved too far away from said beach?
I get plenty of graphic issues, all non gamebreaking. Mostly light sources suddenly spreading horisontally through the office of governeurs.

Oh how I have missed sailing around playing pirate 🙂
Found me a back of English origin, something about military pay being taken. Sold it for 200k, so was suddenly very easy to get somewhere. Strange thing to loot from a corpse on a pirateship. Is there no difference on the loot table between captains and crew?

One of those pirate propositions was strange. Hailing from the ship called and refered to as the error.

Many times when I gamble in the taverns, I sit in the open without a bench, chair or table.
I do have a few images for some of it and a save for that black screen.

“When you use Sail To for Deserted beach, your squadron is large and the ships get packed together close, so the icon you see is to trade with your companion, but you can still moor if you hit the ‘Enter’ key, then you should see the moor option. I did this with your game sailing to your Gold quest destination, Deserted Beach.”
I may not have explained myself good enough. Looking at this screenshot (http://prntscr.com/f38nw7) I have the deserted beach to be at the north eastern tip of the island when sailing around on the map. When I exit to sea I have no possibility to moor around the area. But sailing to the shores of Esmeralda (http://prntscr.com/f38qmr) I happen to make landfall at what is considered deserted beach.

I guess there is nothing to do about the problem with too many ships, and docking at Bodden’s Landing makes sure all ships are together again.

Would you prefer me linking to the screenshots like this or that I upload them to the Google drive?

Is that update safe for existing saves?

[fruitn]

So in essence that boarding battle does nothing for the outcome of the battle, it merely exists for getting some personal loot? And maybe getting a few fighters killed?

[fruitn]

I have found that sailing with battle sails in circles around the battle xebec usually ends with them laying with the front against my broadside while I’m caught up in the wind. As such I seem to have plenty of time to minimize their crew with minimal casualties on my own ship.

Having played around with it some more, I believe it to be a penalty to not having enough weapons onboard for the crew. I lost only about 85 crew when boarding the xebex at around 50% having taken all available weapons from the other ships.
So not having enough weapons incurs a flat penalty?
