This is a great idea Dennis! I believed I responded about this privately – thought it has posted here but evidently not.

If I was still playing on the same version everyone else has I would post multiple save games for folks. When the patch goes out. I will post multiple saves here so people can see my world and crew.

I do not know where that calculation occurs in the files. In the source code which I have and have been making myself more and more acquainted with I have noticed some files concerning time. It may be in there.

I can tell you though from personal experience of playing the game thousands of hours in the last seven+ years that its never more than…[Read more]

Sorry folks if I made the character index problem seem like something easy to fix.

It has been an ongoing headache that I almost have done. Your clues and input have helped me very much.

Kuroi that error message is another manifestation of the character index problem. Once I have the pirates, officers and citizens renamed to a consistent…[Read more]

Take a look at the answers I gave Dennis on ships stats.

In general Warships have much less cargo space than their merchant equivalents because their ribbing/framing was much heavier/thicker and closer together. In addition the ribbing came into the hull much deeper restricting the space much more than merchantmen. Certain merchantmen are going…[Read more]

Thanks Dennis. Yes I can ALWAYS use help. The more you look at files and play with them the more you will come to acquaint yourself with coding in the game.

I took C in school as well as FORTRAN and I was raised on ADA and Basic. I used to write games in basic when I was a kid. So I know how code works and have certifications in computer…[Read more]

I actually don’t think there is a so called “Best Ship” Dennis.

The way the random stats generator works in COAS is that it will generate ships with a wide variance of different stats from the baseline that is set in the Ships_init file. So even if I have made Spanish galleons as a rule very slow, you might find a fast one rarely or every now…[Read more]

double post.

Still figuring out all the web master tools….

Its not just in one file but several. Also I have to rename a bunch of models to get it to work right as well.

On the Battleships I suppose we could do that here if everyone agrees. Make any 1st rate the equivalent of the Manowars you need to complete quest requirements.

I will put it on the “To DO” list. Its down a little ways though….

Thanks for the compliments. Always great to have fans here. Of course I am completely devoted to this game and obsessed with taking it to the next level where we will far surpass the Build mods. I think we already have in most ways. Once the new locations and quests are in we will outshine them in every way.

OK so the French ay???? Well that…[Read more]

Haven’t had a chance to DL the TEHO add on yet. Need to do that before I leave. I put all the stuff I’m gonna work on on a 2 terabyte HD when I leave to go places so I can still work on the mod in hotels, friends, relatives, etc…

Another ghost ship besides the flying dutchman. HMMMM….very intriguing. I just watched a special on ghost ships…[Read more]

Thanks very much for the report SGMRET. Welcome!

OK, the fact that it was not happening in the older download is helpful in isolation – and actually partially makes sense. There are two identical utils files that are used in different places. One was updated and one was not.

I do have one other question though.

Does it happen all the time…[Read more]

Sorry about your drive Dennis. You know I’ve been able to get my data off of them before when they go bad, if I freeze them for a day in the freezer.

I am at level 17 in my game and still have not had even one problem with boarding. I noticed in your video that you speed up time a lot. That may be preventing you from seeing the icon. A lot of…[Read more]

Sorry I’ve been a little quiet. Very busy here. I am working on a long presentation I have to give publicly soon so that’s been taking up a lot of my time.

I have been working on the patch though. I almost have the Citizen fix complete which I think will completely fix the treasure quest bug on the mission where treasure ships are resupplying in…[Read more]

OK I see what you did. Interesting! A member on PA! “Superchango” did the same thing a few years ago and I forgot all about it. This will be fun to implement and everyone will enjoy it.

Expect to see this in the patch and I will credit you.

Thanks again!
