    Low Priority Ship's Log odd behaviour

    Sometimes the Ship's Log can behave strangely. Different entries can appear in the same entry you currently select. Seems to be related to using 'esc' to exit the current entry you are reading to get back to the main list of entries, then reading an entry from their. If you use the 'All'...

    Low Priority Scroll Bars Not Functioning Correctly

    The scroll bar in the Ship's Log does not always function well (but this happens in other parts of the game too! Like in the options screen) when just trying to use the mouse. You have to use the arrow keys on the keyboard sometimes to be able to scroll through all the entries details.

    Feature Request Ship's Log to Include More Details

    I mentioned in the Beta 4 WIP thread where i brought this up, if it would be possible to get specific entries in the Ship's Log about what actions you took, over the slightly more generic info we get now. For example where we now have: 'visited the local merchant, sold off our cargo and...

    Included in Build Larger Size for "Cheap Compass"

    The simple compass is too small! I remember in a previous version (Beta 1 most likely) i had to add red to the north 'N' direction to help it stand out a bit more, but the current scale (to fit inside the basic green 'arc of fire' circle on the hud) is so small even picking out the red 'N' is...

    Included in Build Select Storyline Interface Update?

    Testing on the old Build 14 beta 1 Patch 7 was fine for all the Direct Sailing stuff, no CTD's at all, so it seems it is not a GPU issue (and all my other games are fine also). As for some of the other things: 1. Select 'Free Play' on a New Game and you see a picture of a Julian McAllister...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    So i think i did something like this in previous testings, and the main purpose is to get that view from the outside (i've not been involved in the Build Mod for a long while, but know it pretty well (as in where and why it started etc)), and have a place for me to throw down things i'm noticing...

    Notice Fixing 'Black screen' issues with the in game videos.

    I started to have this problem many years back while working on an older version of Build 14, and it meant that all those game loading video's (disney, akella, bethesda) would just display as a black screen while the music for them played fine. It also meant all the in-game videos would just...

    Solved Problems with installing latest WIP version

    Long time at sea for me matey's, but i stumbled back here and am in the process of trying to get this new testing thing set up :) I've tried twice so far and as soon as i run the b14_beta4_installer.exe, it sort of doesn't do much for about 30 seconds (as in the blue progress bar does not...

    Re the patch 7 beta wip

    I guess this is mostly for Pieter, but i've been looking through some of the files in the new beta patch(with the new advanced options etc), and i've noticed a few un-commented changes that probably need a comment for later reference etc. In LogInterface.c: line 121: { if (DISPLAY_DATE)...

    Black Barts list of findings in build mod 14 beta 1 patch 5. So far...

    This last week I have been playing the latest build and latest patch. Firstly I’m blown away by how far the Build Mod has come since build 12! Direct Sailing, more amazing looking ships, a 'real' map of the Caribbean, much less frequent drops of uber powerful kit, extra menu stuff etc. All...

    A Story from build13: The tale of Black Bart

    Ok this is for fun, and i wasn't quite sure where to put it due to my eventual aim of making things that happen in the game get reflected in the story. This is the opening chapter of my characters adventures through the build13 game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    Re-enactment of Magellan's trip

    <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6170346.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6170346.stm</a> saw this interesting article on the bbc website. The description of the way the ship handles raised my eyebrow a bit, it's meant to be an exact replica but i wonder if...

    A small Tribute to Hook & Hat for thier recent efforts!

    A Thank you to Hook+Hat: I think many of us know these two guys deserve a little 'something' from the community to say thank you for all the hard work they've put in, especialy in concerns of the bug-fixing 'crunch' that made the build13 final release possible. Without their efforts in...

    Oxbay Game Start

    After Jasons and Hooks comments about the weird timeing of the 'Escape from Oxbay' video, and my one weird experience(where it came during CCC's survial mod activation in the tavern room upstairs - before i had even put to sea!), and after having replayed the standard starting scenario(not...

    Music in PotC

    This is kind of a test as i want to see if i can attach some music files. My thinking is it would be nice to experiment with new music for PotC. I know there are some great music files on Pieters site you can use as relpacements, and well i wanted to add some of my favourite games music themes...

    What language is PotC written in?

    As the title says - is it C, C++, C#? or a mix? and what are we using to make the mods? Is it possible to combine C + C# for example? I'm a little nieve when it comes to modern computer languages - i still speak to my computers in basic, mostly they ignore me(not much changeing there then!) <img...

    preBuild13+beta1+beta2+beta3

    That build is ontop of the standard build 12.1(full) - just so its all clear. Any remarks i make are not intended to offend any work of any of the modders - i'm just going to post things as they occur to me, and am perfectly willing to be shown the error of my ways. So nothing that might...

    Build 12.1(full)+preBuild13(base)+Beta1

    I'll use this thread to post some impressions, and so you know exactly which componants i'm playing on. This was the recommended build from Pieter for me to try. Previously before i had been playing just the Build 12.1(full), then with just the pre build13(base). One thing i've noticed...
