Ahoy ye pirates and freebooters alike!

i just want to warn the people responsable for pieter's postbuild12 modpack that i've updated the mod pack with the latest version from 11-09-05. and found untill now 4 bugs.
The first is that since i updated the game the game resolution gets down to 800*600, something fixable b editing the engine file.
The second one has to do with the new interface skin(hte Brown one).. every time i intiate the game form the Windows the interfaxe will appear that one with the coins and the ships=/ (don't know why or how).
Ând while trying the mod, in the relations screen, all the island pictures apear a bit dodgy..all messed up an' all as seen in the picture.
the fourth only happen's sometimes when i go into the church in Fallaise de fleur and when i come out to the street the music from the church keeps playing..

I don't know if this is a problem of my system or of the update..
Only posted 'cuz if the bugs are due to the update, i would like very much to see them fixed 'cuz this new interface totally rocks men, and the new title music too.
If with time i happen to come across some bugs or something that it aprpears to be odd, i'll give ya'll a tip ok?

Keep up the good work mates!
Thank you all you people, for making this game even better than it already is and was!

wow look at the time...time for me to sail back ta me island <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" /> =)
 
Dunno about interface, but the island doubling is probably due to the New Islands pics being divided into the old number of islands.
 
Hello Bloody Pirate
Download New Islands code from Pieter`s Pirates Page.
It will fix "island doubling".
New Islands code must be added After mod update.
Bye
 
1) For all I know, there's nothing in the modpack that should mess with your resolution.
2) If you start the game, the blue main menu will be opened. As soon as you load a saved game, the brown one will be used instead. I already reported this bug to Maximus; it's a bit odd. But it doesn't really do much harm, so I'd recommend just not paying attention to it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
3) Are you using the new islands mod as well? If so, you should download the code file that is on the download page; that should fix it. If you don't use it, I must've messed up. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
4) Don't know about the music.

If you like the new title music: It's the main theme from the movie Cutthroat Island. I can highly recommend getting the soundtrack if you want more; it's absolutely excellent. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Just installed your new update today Pieter, and apart from a couple of ongoing bugs that I think we're all already aware of, had no major problems. Maximus's new brown interface looks superb, great new cargo item pics too. Haven't had any problems with the interface so far. "Tailors shop" bug with the new Becka skin the same as I mentioned elsewhere with the Raoul Rheims invisible skin. I'll post all observations on the bug list.

I'VE copyed the code rar to the folders..
i t still makes the same thing..
ill unistall the game and install the mod in a fresh install..

I've been thinking..how about a a Slavery mod..'Cuz, and forgive our colored brothers if i am hurting any susceptiblities, slavery was, more or less, a common trade in those times especially in the caribbean and all the collonies around the attlantic.. and the caribbean without some sugar farms.. And some Rum Factories, just doesn't feel's like the caribbean....that would be a great mod..
And allow the player to own a sugar cane farm(s), or an illegal destillery.. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" /> it would be really fun to have them both and start smugling rum around the 'pelago... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> it could be administered like we already do with ships..or just by talking to people like we can already do with our oficers.. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> but i guess it might be too difcult to if not even impossible..but i really like the idea... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

and there is something i've always felt the absence since i started playing the game..some smoking pipes..i haven't seen one lousy pirate with one, at least, that i can remember..i t could be something that when the player or an NPC is idle for too long could do..Smoke a bit..or in the tavern some drunkard smoking from his pipe..that would be quite fun to watch..

what say u mates?
maybe in A&M or future builds could be space for something like that?

i'll try to do a fresh install and see the outcome..
 
RAR??? There are no rar files on my website! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
Go to Pieter's Pirates Page, then download the New Islands Code file and extract that on top of an already installed 11-9-2005 modpack plus new islands mod. That should solve the island pictures. But I will go and check it out myself. Maybe I made a stupic mistake.

Nathan Kell (who is the Build's supervisor and one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) contributors to the Build) is not intent on adding slavery into the game. He wants the game as unviolent and politically correct as possible (right?). I must admit I quite agree. But it might be a nice mod for certain people; as long as it can be turned off for certain other people. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Bug #2 (main menu being the "blue type" when you start the game, even though you enabled the brown type) is now fixed. The fix is, together with some other small fixes, available from the Post Build 12 modpack thread.
 
you're right it's not rar... im so used to having rar files around, i some times make mistakes..sorry..
ok..politicaly corect it shall be..if u modders don't like it.. who am i to blame?..i m only now trying to start learning how to mod POTC..although i continue to think truth doesn't need to be politicaly corect..but this is just a game..no stress.no worrys, just be happy=) guess smoking pipes are out of the equation..=/

and about the sugar cane farms and the destillery? is it possible? guess it must give hell of a work..
 
If someone who doesn't care about "politically correct" makes the mod, I would be happy to put it into the modpack with an on/off toggle on it. I know that there already is a slavery mod somewhere. I wonder if I can find it. But I doubt I could get it to work. Would probably be rather complicated, now that so much in the game has been changed. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Almost all mods that you can think of would be possible. The problem is that somebody needs to make it. But I think your sugar cane farms and destillery mod should be possible, yes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Well first about the new islands mod. I can't sail to the islands, because it crashes to desktop when i press space. Any ideas?
Another thing.
Three pirate ship attacked me, and i boarded all of them, and chose to kill the captains. But then after a while when i was looking at the passangers interface, the pirate captains were there, and i could take them with me. Anyways i was happy that i have some officers, so went on some hunting. I boarded a galleon, the captain surrendered, and i gave the ship to one of the pirate captains. I went to the Costillas but when i arrived there wasn't any galleons, but two other ships (possibly luggers), but only one could be seen following me. Then i went to the shipyard to sell the ship, then the ship has transormed into another ship again, it worth only 20k. then i wanted to give a pistol to one of that pirate captains, and <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Look at the attached image..[attachment=196:attachment]
 
You cant see how much gold you've got in the "char" menu, it's always on 500 <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Well a very annoying bug is when you want to do ship-to-ship transfer with crew, and you don't have enough crew to reach minimal on either ships, you just can't do anything but closing the game in the task manager. Can't get to the menu, can't get back, you are stuck.

Another thing also with the ship to ship transfer thing, sometimes it causes ctd for me (when i click on exit).

And one other thing. How can i have negative crew number?? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
[attachment=200:attachment]
 
This bug already fixed. Now if you have more than a minimum crew on your own ship - you can't exit from transfer. If you have a minimum crewmembers - you can exit without any problems.

About unbelievable sum - is that captain pirate captain or something? If it so - I don't know what is it. This bug killing me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />. If you have captives and entering to another battle - your captives sometimes comes to be a captains of current enemy ships. And if captain was killed, in passengers menu you see this captain, but he not captive. Another thing - if you take him as officer (in passenger screen) this officer is immortal and have a sum that you saw. I can't find, from where this bug. I think that is the question to Nathan Kell <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

That's your personal money, not your crew's money, I think. When you start the game, it will be at 500. You can get more by entering the service of a nation. I would recommend getting more; blacksmiths are paid out of personal wealth (unless you set it to be like normal again in BuildSettings.h)

Like Maximus says: That has already been fixed. However: I have not yet added the fix to the modpack. But I will update the modpack soon and then it will be in. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Does that happen when yuo try to swap ships? I know the game crashes (without even giving any error messages) when you swap ships through the menu. Hope it will be fixed soon; just don't know how. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

What the HECK? I don't know about that. That certainly isn't supposed to happen. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
