Wow, Fred Bob, did you do an installer too? THANK YOU!

Mad Jack has run into some RL issues that caused the delay of his participation in this, glad you were able to step in.

We do need betatesters, so please chime in here and let us know if there's anything amiss, everyone!

Thank you again, Fred Bob! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

@Cat: Aw shucks, thankee thar, ye be too kind indeed! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Dis be jus' a po'boy install a usin' WinRAR, hence de designation o' Build 11.99! But it truly contains all de updated an' all de new files added `mod-wise` since de Release, taken from de CVS server. Also, dis really jus' be a little `kick-startin`' install tew git some testin' goin' till a mo' bettah installer be made! <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" /> It be plain an' simple, but it be werkin'! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

@Cap'n Archibald McNil: Ideally, be installin' it o'er a plain vanilla PotC install! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> But practically speakin', ye kin prolly drop it in on top o' yer Build 11 install okay, but it might make `bug-fixin`' a bit less effective if'n ye do so! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Did ye know ye kin have ye mo' den one PotC install on yer machine? Jus' install tew anudder directory an' ye kin leave yer Build 11 intact! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Hello Fred Bob. I gave the patch a quick look through and noticed that one of the Weathered Ships for sure, was using an old texture, the Unicorn corvette, and there might be others, probably from the Muddy Monkey patch. The skins from the Weathered Ships Complete zip file which can be found in the downloads section are up to date. All of the Weathered Ships Complete textures have been redone and are nicer in my opinion. Shouldn't be any big problem to rename the textures from the Weathered Ships Complete zip to include them in the final build rather than the old ones. I thought about mentioning this earlier as I was afraid that the textures from the Muddy Monkey mod might be used, and they aren't as nice as the others.

Best Regards,

Rafe
 
@Scratchy_McNuts: Welcome tew PA, matey! Dis 11.99 be only in a testin' phase. If'n ye be new tew de Builds, mebbe ye should stick wid yer Build 11 fer now, since dis new one has some bugs an' may have files missin', etc. It be available fer testin' an' bug reportin' only at de moment.

@Rafe: Arrr, Rafe! Do two thangs, please, matey! Log dis here problem in de bug thread fer Build 11.99 an' den PM Nathan tew see if'n he might be able tew straighten de file problem out fer ye or get ye update access tew de CVS server so's ye kin do it yer ownself! <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" />

Fred Bob, <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> thanks again, we've been needing to get this going again, and most of the principals seem to be missing in action at the moment what with school and the PMT and "real life" (whatever that means) and Pirates! betatesting getting in the way around here.

For anyone who wants to know what is in this new build, we are going to be putting together a "README" as soon as we can, but for now, here is a link with info:

<a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/`ftopic3006-0`.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/`ftopic3006-0`.php</a> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Fred Bob, a thousand thanks for stepping in, mate!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> A galleon heavy with rum is on her way to you as we speak.

As Cat alluded to some days ago, "real life" has dealt old Jack a bit of a storm to deal with. That's the reason for me untimely abscence from the project.

But the seas have calmed for now, and I can turn me attention back to more important matters, such as working on the installer as promised. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I'm setting me own deadline of this Friday, 15 October, as the date I shall turn over me first go of the installer for testing. It'll be monolithic in nature, kitchen sink and calico cat included. The following revisions will have selectable modules and `web-smart` options.

Does anyone know of a set of manifests from the last build that tells what files make up which modules? That is to say, what comprised the "Localized setup", "European version", &c. Savvy? That would be a tremendous help, and save me the bother of reverse engineering the beasty. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

Again - me most humble apologies for being AWOL, mates. And thanks again to Fred Bob for his fine work! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
