PBW: My ships can't move

[Puke]

sounds wierd. id be willing to take a look at it, if you wanted to give me access to the file. otherwise, i would recommend sending a copy of the savegame and a problem to description to MM with a note that says you stumped everyone here.

Appreciated, Puke!

Just mail me at vradke@gmx.net and I'll send you the gamefile plus password.

That seems to remind me of a "change orders" intel op, which has gotten stuck.

If you haven't tried this, you may want to now:

---

dissolved the fleet and then made two seperate [fleets], they moved after that

It may be the fleet creation step that gets you past the bug.

It's working again!

I don't know exactly how fixed it, yet what I tried was this:

Turning all AI ministers on and off in the same turn, like Rich04 suggested.

Dissolving fleets and moving only single ships (again).

Giving a "warp" order to one frigate.

(Btw, a population transport that was run by the AI had no probs to move all the time while everything else was stuck.

Gorgo (happy)

Well, it did not work for all ships, yet Puke has found out what either caused it or perpetuated the problem:

1 I had individual ministers turned on for each ship (although only resupply and transports;
2 AI setting not to make changes during a simultaneous game was ticked, so if my ships did not move for some reason, the AI would perpetuate this.

Puke, who I sent the files to, mailed me that he was able to move the ships after he changed these two settings, so this problem should have been solved by now.

Thanks for all your input. This is a very helpful and friendly forum.
