Build 14 Alpha 6 Bug Summary

i believe it has something to do with bad rope data. i have noticed that quite a few of it's ropes are skrewed. not to mention that the bowsprit is in fact not even attached to the ship.

funny that i've learned so much from just reading posts.
 
YOU might not be able to change your forum screen name, but moderators like me and CouchcaptainCharles can. Just send a PM to any of the moderators to arrange it. You can just keep your old name though. Not everybody has a piratey name. I don't. I just have my own name. Not imaginative, I know... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

The 1st person sail bug sounds weird. Could you check if th bug occurs again if you get that same ship again?
 
I'll just keep doing missions for the governor in Guadeloupe, and try to capture the same ship again to see if I get the same problem.

Thanks about the name change - I have no idea what I would change it to - and there is nothing wrong with your actual name- your actual name actually sounds kinda piratey in itself.
 
yours does too, actually. but it might sound a bit odd when used in one of those books.
 
Hm. I get throught the start okay..but once i get out of port and into my ship...all of them start firing at me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />.
I think there should be a "neutral" flag incase who don't want to choose a side straight away...
 
Why not?

I just think there should be a neutrality flag of some sort..
 
There werent any Neutral flags... o wait yes the Jolly roger <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Nah seriously, even merchants and private captains flew the colors of one nation or another, if you didnt fly a nations color you were assumed a pirate.
 
then the personal flag wouldn't make any sense. anyway, i'd just fly a more-or-less neutral flag.
 
Hmm I'v been playing the Build 14 Alpha 7. (Thats what it says). Playing as a female some dialog still regards you as a man :p Also, when i start the game after i choose a starting location it just goes black <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Dialogs have been written for a male! Don't know about the black screen.
Somebody put in female Pirates because their Arse is more pleasant to look at?

Buggy Buildset!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Work was once started on making the dialogs take into account the player's sex, but it was never finished. The Oxbay storekeeper's dialog was done, if I recall correctly, but that's the only one I know of. It is, of course, a lot of work to do this and, with our current lack of modders, I think there are more important things to put our attention to. But if you want to work on this, I won't be stopping you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

It sounds to me like something went wrong in your installation. Can you please tell me which installation order you used? Also please keep in mind: Build 14 Alpha 6 Additional is NOT a fix!
 
I installed Stock POTC, Build Mod 13 Plus Update 3, Alpha 14/6, Additional then the fixes from Nosies sig. I think I am able to do that, just tell me what files to edit and i'll work it out from there.

Sometimes a transition between different modes IE: Ship Battle - Port - Deck ECT
Causes an Engine.exe error.
 
What is "fixes from Nosies sig"? The only file that is supposed to go on top of Alpha 6 is pb_modifications.zip. Try to install like this:
1) Build 12 (optional: not required, but might work better)
2) Build 13 Full
3) Build 14 Alpha 6 Full
4) <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/others/pb_modifications.zip" target="_blank">pb_modifications.zip</a> (optional: contains some new bugfixes and features)

Be sure to check if it works between each step.

If you want to change the dialogs, I would first recommend you have a look at the dialog .c files in PROGRAM\DIALOGS and familiarize yourself a bit with the way the dialogs work. Pay particular attention to Alan Milds_dialog.c, because this one is fixed for the different sexes. There is some additional comments in that file as well having to do with those changes. Try to figure out how it works and try to add the same changes to another dialog file.
 
Yes, the PB_Modification is what i used last. I am going to do as you suggested, and have a look at that dialog.
