    I have a small ship and several of the responses from the tillerman to my commands are off and are also being listed in triplicate.

    Examples of Incorrect Responses in triplicate following the correct response:

    If I say "Drop Anchor," my tillerman responds with "Ar, anchor dropped sir." followed immediately by "Ar, the anchor was already dropped sir." "Ar, the anchor was already dropped sir." "Ar, the anchor was already dropped sir."

    If I then say "Raise Anchor," my tillerman responds with "Ar, anchor raised sir." followed immediately by "Ar, the anchor has not been dropped sir." "Ar, the anchor has not been dropped sir." "Ar, the anchor has not been dropped sir."

    If ship is on a "Forward," "Backward," or any continuous movement and I say "Stop," my tillerman responds with "Aye aye sir." followed immediately by "Er, the ship is not moving sir." "Er, the ship is not moving sir." "Er, the ship is not moving sir."

    Examples of correct Responses, but in triplicate:

    If I say "Forward," my tillerman responds with "Aye aye sir." followed immediately by "Aye aye sir." "Aye aye sir."

    If I say "Backward," my tillerman responds with "Aye aye sir." followed immediately by "Aye aye sir." "Aye aye sir."

    If I say "Left One," or "Right One," my tillerman responds with "Aye aye sir." followed immediately by "Aye aye sir." "Aye aye sir."

    If I say "Forward Left," or "Forward Right," my tillerman responds with "Aye aye sir." followed immediately by "Aye aye sir." "Aye aye sir."


    Thanks a lot. Oh, and I'm loving this server. :D

    Hah, that's priceless.

    We are currently working on boat item decay so I will get this added to that task. Thanks for the report.

    The things that are broken by default in RunUO never cease to amaze me sometimes.

    Well, keep your head held high as you are doing a great job as far as I can see.

    I almost said that I don't envy you the task of all the debugging that you must be going through. But, to be honest, as a retired programmer, and lover of MMORPG's, I've always fantasized about getting my eyes and keyboard on the UO Code. So I actually DO envy you greatly. :mrgreen:

    I am so sorry I did not know about this server back when it was first being developed. I would so much have enjoyed being an Alpha or Beta tester. If I ever run into H. G. Wells, I'll go back to the beginning and send you an email. :lol:

    Laters,

    I did not see new Patch info. about this, but today my Ship's Tillerman is giving the correct responses. And what's more, he's just giving them once. :D

    Thanks a lot for fixing that.

    ps. actually, I think it was working correctly as of yesterday. :?

    :( Okay, here's a puzzle for you. Out on the high-seas, the tillerman's responses seem to be correct.

    But in town, moored at the Brit. Docks, the tillerman still repeats himself and misanswers. :?
