Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support

my problem is witht he pirate trainer
do i HAVE to be master in carp to be officer
my scroll key is pathetic but i feel if i can be master in bilge and sail i should be allowed to go ahead
is there any way to go ahead without master ??

The provided course is "only" an example course. What it takes to be officer is solely decided by the captain (or Senior Officers in oligarchic crews) of the crew since he gives and takes ranks.

Feel free to create your own training course. Even if it's only removing the check mark as Tiberyus suggested ^^

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support
Just as suggestion since there are problems in finding the crew ID:

How about including a link to the pirate info page in the appropriate dialog. Name and ocean are known, so the link could be generated easily.

Plus, I've been dragging the chain a bit on the help file update. I promise I'll at least have something to contribute by the end of the week.

When / if they have been accurately obtained and tested, yes.

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support

MIB was removed as Tailspin had problems with his server hosting.

WM

I'm really enjoying the new version but I am really missing the MIB facility. Is there absolutley no way of getting it back on....please?

I dont want to use the crew notice board to discuss possible promotions or coffer issues.

Thanks to all the people who have worked on this, you're my heroe's!

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support
Hi mates,

I just installed QM2 and I LOVE the new look! Unfortunately the right edge of the QM window is cut off. Even when I make the windo bigger it reamins cut off so I can't see things like the number of stations on a boat. Additionally (this was mentioned in an earlier post and I'm guessing the update will address it) the help files don't like that I installed the QM in Program files instead of directly on C:. It keeps giving an error msg that it can't findthe files it's looking for on C:. I am really looking forward to exploring this new version - it looks awesome!

Whilst I can't speak directly for Tailspin, I can reasonably confidently say that this feature is not coming back.

Even when I make the windo bigger it reamins cut off so I can't see things like the number of stations on a boat.

This was addressed earlier, and is being looked into.

the help files don't like that I installed the QM in Program files instead of directly on C:. It keeps giving an error msg that it can't findthe files it's looking for on C:.

See above. :)

Until Tailspin has time to look over the bugs and problems, may I recommend ensuring your Java is up to date. I have the same version of QM as you guys with no problems with the window sizing. Whilst this might not sort the problem, it does ensure we are all at the same level.

Domokun,
trying to help!

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support
QM2 is great and all, but I feel its got too many gadgets with it, and I liked a lot of things from QM1 is simple to use and is a little better, for my tastes and what I need for pillages anyhow. Is there anyplace I can download QM1 anymore?

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support
I do believe that the problem being complained about is the same we encountered in the beta phases... I still have the problem (I've grown to deal with it). I don't know if you attempted to fix this earlier (if you did then it didn't work for me), but it seems like there are more people with this problem...

As for screenies, if it is the problem I've been rambling about, then there are still the ones in the beta testing conference.

I had this problem, and it was fixed with one of the last updates in beta.

Bug: Bot Stats
Pirate Stats for Load and Edit options are shown for bots based on there first word. It should give an error instead.

This also means that pirates with names matching bot adjective cannot be added to ship.

It should be noted that bots have reputation stats and entering these in QM (even if it must be manual) could be useful.

Is there any way this program will work on a MAC?

and if not , are there any plans to make it mac compatable?

Alas, I feel yer pain, I was a Mac YPPer for some time and never knew how good the PCers had it with QM. But I switched a year or so ago and loved it in it s first version.

All I could ever come up with for a Mac that was remotely useful in th emanner of QM was a desktop pattern that I fit the client into that had a lot of various ship and pillage info around the edges. Comparatively speaking, it was sad at best compared to QMII.

Re: QuarterMaster II - Public Release - Support
Just came across another issue. It won't hold the changes I make in options for the damage counter. I am switching from percentage to hits. When I then close it and call up the damage counter it still displays in percentage format. When I go back into options there is a check in both percentage and hits.

I'll put in a way for QM to remember your Yohoho.log location when setting it manually.

Sorry, but at first my chat logs weren't happening, but thanks to your Help box i thought i had sorted it. Unfortunatley i have to set them up everytime i log on, both in QM & PP, and now i have around 16 chatlogs for 1 pirate!

Is there a particular order i should be doing this so that it remembers which chatlog goes with which pirate as i have alts that are also creating multiple log files

Thanks again

Bots on ships are totally Able I believe. I make no comment on parlour game bots, as they may well have varied standings.

Are you going to update all the missing help files or just some?

The Help pages that I have text for currently are:

Auto-chat
Black and Gold lists
Chat logs
Crew Lists
Pay Cut list
Pillage Window
PTB
Vessel Info
Vessel List

I'm working on the Pillage Window now, and it strikes me we could really use some images to sprinkle in amongst the text to make it easier to follow.

This might be getting ambitious, but...
Is there somebody out there who can spare the time to screen-dump the Pillage Window and carve it up into little itty bits? PM me for my email address if you can help. (Presumably the help window can render the same image formats as the Pirate Trainer.)

Domokun

I think what he meant was that if you do a load stats on a bot that is on board (why you would, I'm not sure...) QM loads the stats for the bots first name.

So if you do a load stats for "Hairy Bernard" it in fact does a load stats for "Hairy" and therefore messes it all up.

Unless you are working with the navy.. in which case they are varied.. and you can't load them automatically because they don't have a pirate page... you have to do it automatically...

Re: Bug: Bot Stats
Ok I have a problem here. I love the new QMII but its not loading mates into QM when they get on me ship automatically like the original QM did. Do I have to "Add" each mate to me qm as they get on me ship now or is something wrong here? I'll try to Uninstall it and reinstall it and see if that helps and I'll check back here to see if anyone can help me with this.
