Spyglasses and ballistas doesn't work during sailing

Post by Butter Butterfly »

Description:
When I'm sailing, I click on the spyglasses and the menu doesn't show up. Same thing with the ballista, when I click on it for reload and shot, no menu shows up. This never happened before with the other characters of mine!

That's odd. I've noticed the windows, for some reason, sometimes though rarely does not open. Though only locally and mostly when I've been tabbed out for a while and then come back in.

Have you tried just relogging to see if that fixes it?

The cooldown bar for spyglass assessing and loading ballista seems to bug each other.

On the ship, i kept both 'bar' on so that it's easier to navigate. However, once you assess a ship and immediately release the shot on your ballista, you actually can't load the ballista until the cooldown for the spyglass is over and EVEN then, you need to close the ballista window, reopens it for loading the javellin to work and fires off.

There is no cooldown, because i couldn't open the menu to start anything! My character actually never used a spyglass or any siege weapon because of this.

I'm simply listing another bug associated with ballista and spyglass on top of yours.
Looks like there're more than just a couple of issues which need to be addressed.

I've actually notice an issue with this that these bar actually 'lay' on top of each other.

It means to say if you use spyglass or click on the trackless sea map and use the command -ship.
Their window could possibly overlap each other hence, you don't actually see them at all unless you move the -ship window (which is the largest) away.

Also, as an update, I can't even access to the ship wheel or to the trackless map. I can't do anything on a boat, i just right click on the objects, and nothing happens.

Again, very weird. Can you open any NUI windows at all? Things not related to the ship system? Can you type:
-ship
And does that open up the new NUI?

As a fallback, for consoles / systems, not supporting NUI it should default back to the old Dialog files. But you are on a Mac OS which should support it. I wonder if this is a Mac issue related to NUI or something else.

When i type "-ship stats" it works! Anyway, in few days I should switch to a new pc windows, let's see if this will happen again.

"-ship stats" is using NWNX, not the NUI functionality, so makes sense that works for you. But I'm curious to know if you are having issues with other NUI windows on Arelith, like the fixture command?

Could be its a MacOS issue, if thats the case it should be reported to Beamdog so it can be patched.

I checked, and I can't access any NUI function.

Then its a NUI bug for MacOS, should be reported to beamdog if they still do patch work.
