Completely missing the text in the quest Known as "Austin Quest"

[Rocky88-TKD]

I played this game time and time ago, when the name was still "Age of Pirates - City of abandoned ships" and there was a quest called "Austin quest". This quest was activated when a random guy in the city approaching and telling to follow him in the dungeons of the city before the 00.00

What I have noticed is that, in "Sea Dogs - City of Abandoned ships", when this guy approach you, the text is compleately missing and this makes the quest unplayable. I also tried to find dialogs file in the directories. Haven't found nothing about this quest.

What I want to ask you is: there is someone that has experienced this problem in the game? There is a solution or a fix for this problem?

Thanks a lot to everyone that will help me with this and sorry if my english is not so good. Trying my best. :D

When I was confronted by him a few months ago, the dialog was there. I met him & his partner in the dungeon. Maybe you need to reload the game. Good luck

Hi, just played a new game. Started as Ian Stance, placed in Antigue. Albert Greene invited me to the dungeon. Everything was ok. Austin quest, is that Peter Blood?

Yes, I'm playing as Peter blood because of the Blood quest and the Cinco Llagas ship. Maybe I have to try with Ian Stance or Diego Espinoza.

Thank you.

Figured out the problem.

Missing the italian text of the quest. I tried to start the game in english and the text is there. Maybe I have to face and solve the quest in english.

Given what you state, I checked the code for all the languages and see the problem is ONLY Italian. Spanish, English, German and French are fine. Only Italian was forgotten by the developers. Kinda funny, except people paid money for this and it was released to market with such deficiencies.

If you look in the Program\Text\..\Dialogs\Quest directory for the file: Berglars.h. Open in a text editor and you see that all the lines except for a few, are blank. That explains the missing text in the Italian version of the Austin interactions.

For the version I offer (with massive corrections and updated engine) the best I could do is simply replace with English, since I do not know Italian. But at least now there is something to read.

Nice find...would have never known about this without your post.

I totally agree. Also if the game is full of "easy fixing" problems (speaking about Tenochtitlan, CoAS, crashes and bug here and there), here we are not talking about a simple problem, but we have a totally missing part of the game. As you said, this was a game released for the global market and is a shame to see such a thing in a game like this.

By the way I solved the question playing the game in english to bypass this problem.
Also thank you for the reply and suggestion. I will probably take a look in the directory and maybe translate from english to italian.
