Boat lock changes

Postby kinvoya » Fri Sep 23, 2005 8:06 am

My char who boarded an abandoned locked longboat in her dinghy a while back is now not able to enter her dinghy. Apparently the lock bug has been fixed without any warning. Now she is trapped on the longboat. If she has the key to the dinghy she should be able to enter it, I think. Is this a bug?

Another instance of the laws of physics changing without warning.

The boat lock change was being tested yesterday. It sounds like it has now been rolled out.

So for travel between two boats , the existence and state of both boat's locks, are taken into account. So your character will effectively needs a key to both boats if they are both locked, or a lock picking tool.

If you email bugs@cantr.net or PM me on the forum , with details I will see what I can do

Oh great. My character boarded a locked boat, noticed a screwdriver repair there and started working on it so that he could break the (open) lock on his beaching vessel and eventually to get a new one. Now he's stuck. Very funny.
It should be hard enough being without a crowbar and sailing only on a stupid longboat that has an open lock, but sailing on a stolen ship you didn't even wish to keep in the first place and can't get out...

If you need your characters moved back to your original boarding boat
email bugs@cantr.net or PM me with details

I think this is a great change...a bit late for me...but a great change. Now let me see if I understand...if a boat docks to me..they cannot enter my ship unless my boat is unlocked or they have a key to it? (or a crowbar?) And vice versa?
