The easiest method to add Malachite compatibility is to add Malachite to the list of oceans in the CONFIG.TXT file within the Quartermaster program directory. Please note that the oceans are in alphabetical order. ALL OCEANS Tested and works fine, although the name is cut short in the QM window on mine. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by maxdsterling at May 7, 2008 11:27:27 PM] |

I have tried what Silverspoon said and it works fine, but not sure what your talking about when you say "although the name is cut short in the QM window on mine." because I didn't have that problom. Thanks a lot. ---------------------------------------- Anubis (Only comes in Malachite flavor) Mrmonkey (Only comes in Hunter flavor)

The text for long Ocean names are cut off on my QM, perhaps a resolution or a font size issue. Just a visual issue... ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

It started happening since a few releases ago of the YPP Client and will require some investigation by the developer to see if it can be fixed. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Vorky at May 11, 2008 5:27:17 PM] |

I wanted to thank you, Silverspoon, for your response to my post about having Malachite added to an updated QM version. The simplicity and straightforwardness of your suggestion, without out all the dire warnings about the possibility of messing up the .config files and thereby 'blowing up' the program, gave me confidence enough to not only add Malachite to the islands list, but also to update the .config file with the necessary info on Xebecs. This may not seem like such a great deal to you, but for someone who is as non-tech-savvy as myself it means a lot. :) ---------------------------------------- Aldonza ~ Dulcinea Sage ~ Malachite (& Viridian) The dichotomy of me. :D Rafikie said:

Great! Glad to hear I can help. Sometimes the best answers are the simplest. Besides, if you are still scared, rest assured you can either:
About the autochat: Because my programming knowledge does not extend to Delphi, I cannot decipher the problem even with the full code in front of me. From my best analysis, is the library keystrokes invoked through the "windows library" is submitting odd keystrokes or mouse clicks. The problem persists regardless of the Chat Shortcuts being turned on or off and at any resolution and color depth. I will continue to research a possible solution while we await an update from Soar. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

Ahhh! The update with the chat shortcuts (F1-F11) caused the chat scrolly bug! I didn't think of that. Gads I wish i knew how to read code instead of just being a fiddler. Silverspoon, great advice on backing up the logfile. Backups are always helpful and something I rarely do (out of sheer and utter laziness!) Aldonza, don't worry too much about making some changes to your config file. If all else fails, the file is fixable, either copy/paste from folks on here, or someone can send ye their complete file. Just shout it out if ye needz. ---------------------------------------- TammyGal Cobalt Ocean SO & former Captain of Boochin' Drunks - One of the founding crews of Cobalt Lady of the all-grown-up CAPS LOCK Kiddies, Super Awesomeness!!

Thanks Tammy, Everything is working perfectly though, except for that chat history bug which we're all dealing with. I will keep your offer in mind, though, should I mess up the files after some future addition to the game. ;) ---------------------------------------- Aldonza ~ Dulcinea Sage ~ Malachite (& Viridian) The dichotomy of me. :D Rafikie said:

I would think that it's a QM issue by virtue of it not being reproducible without QM... unless someone can tell me the keystroke and keyboard type and language they are using to re-create the issue. There is a possibility that you are unable to access yoweb crew files for malachite. I have 3 possible fixes or workarounds: 1. Fix the crew you are in If you are crewless:
2. Stop autochecking crew stats on startup (workaround)
it should look something like this (but not numbered and line 12 is bolded):
You can put this back in the options panel, by rechecking the "check crew on startup" option. 3. Delete the User Folder and have QM start over Maybe something got booched, I don't know. Hope that helps. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

Using universal pirate simply lets you use the Users/Universal Pirate settings... meaning that there still could be a problem with your original pirate's files. You should remove them just to be sure. Since I'm an avid multiple client user, I DON'T use universal pirate because it will create database errors when both clients attempt to access the same pirate's info (an edit lock is in place by one and refuses access to the other). So, using "universal pirate" is okay, if you don't plan on running additional pirates simultaneously on the same ocean. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

Do we know if anyone is going to implement all these fixes and changes globally to the QM program for download as a complete package? I would like to use QM on Malachite but the download is out of date and I'm not nearly saavy enough to update it myself. Forgive me if I'm asking a moot question here, I've not read the entire thread I just jumped to the last page here and saw someone posting up a fix for the Malachite ocean. ---------------------------------------- Megami, Retired

It's not that hard, if I can get Aldonza/Dulcinea and other non-computer savvy people to do it, I'm confident you can too. Because everyone has their settings, I cannot create an "update" package without destroying your current settings and options, how annoying. I may be able to add an update program for a "clean install," but that will take time. What I can do, wiki goons permitting, is to add fixes/images to the wiki page. Placing it here will simply let it get lost. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

I don't currently have it installed. I used to use QM about 2 years ago and haven't used it in a long time, but I'd like to start using it again. And currently I feel like it wouldn't do me any good to download it in it's current form since I'd have to update so much of it before I could use it. ---------------------------------------- Megami, Retired

Megami, If you dl the latest QM (QM2.3, right all?), then all you need to do is make the additions to the CONFIG.TXT file for the most recent additions to the game. The info, along with a handy cut + paste table, for the Xebec is located at the top of pg 42 of this thread, and the Malachite update info (very easy to do, this one) is at the top of pg 43. Simple cut + paste and insertions are all that's needed. (The necessary instructions are included in the posts.) If I can do it then you won't have any problem at all. Honest. :) ---------------------------------------- Aldonza ~ Dulcinea Sage ~ Malachite (& Viridian) The dichotomy of me. :D Rafikie said:

ooo Shiny! Thank you. I'll see if i can do it without breaking it. I figured there was going to be all sorts of things I was going to have to pick out of this thread to add in but if you think that's all I need, I'll take a whack at it. ---------------------------------------- Megami, Retired

so I just got an idea to improve on QM, I have had this problom many times. Everytime I change my ship I have to change QM, so here is the idea. instead of typing the name of the ship in QM autochat I could type in <<Ship>> and everytime I go on a ship it will replace <<Ship>> with the name of the ship I had just aboarded, It can get the name from the chat log since it says the name of the ship onces I board it.
also, a good idea is for a button that loads everyone stats. I don't like to go and click on everybody to load there stats. ---------------------------------------- Anubis (Only comes in Malachite flavor) Mrmonkey (Only comes in Hunter flavor)

Doable, I'll consider it in my feature list, Soar will have to create an update for this version however.
Not doable, we're not allowed to spam the yoweb server that holds the stats. ---------------------------------------- Silverspoon Retired Senior Officer of The Eternal Hydrae Echidna's Children |

When I try to log onto my pirate on QM, I get an error message, "List index out of bounds (0)" If I hit OK, it goes onto QM, but the vessel list doesn't work, you can't add anyone to it, and it doesn't show anyone, and it no longer lists dhows, baghlahs or Sea monsters in the vessel list. Any ideas? =) Edit - Same problem as the guy who posted just above me =/ I didn't update if for the Xebec or anything though, ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Davesmason at Jun 22, 2008 7:50:09 AM] |
