Build 14 Alpha 8

pellew, I am sorry for the above statement, but still <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Hello all, I was away for a while, catch a bad virus and lost all my work and kinda give up. I've been reading a lot about build 4 A8 and it's look great gonna set myself up again and start playing again. Chat to you guys soon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Cheers, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Welcome back! We'll be looking forward to that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
I'm stuck already at the begining, when Malcom show you how to fence, then nothing happen after the only thing I can do is moving sideways. I'm trying to bypass that and I did not look at all forum yet since I'm back but seem I can't found the proper tread about build 14 alpha 8 bugs. I just want to know if anyone manage to bypass my situation. Thanks.

Cheers, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Did you try skipping the fencing lesson?
Things are a bit messy at the moment at the forum.
There's Alpha 8 bugs posted all over the place and I think there's even a thread for it.
But things are confusing and posted all over the place. As per usual. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
- I manage to bypass it by telling Malcom to not bother with the teaching and to move on ahead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/user_comment.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="user_comment.gif" />

- Then to found myself at Barbados with Merchant that sell nothing and the spy glass no where to be found. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

- My journey ain't over yet, once I get to the shipyard I notice that even with my loot sold I don't have enought to pay for the repair of my ship 8,670 gp. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />

- After all this I went to the pillar at the dock next to my row boat, save the game then (CTD) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ko" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

- Restart the game, save is there load it then jump into my Schooner and up to Port Royal, try to moor and guess what they all want my skin, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/trio-pirates.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":trio" border="0" alt="trio-pirates.gif" /> the fort and the surrounding ships <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thpirateshipff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":piratesahoy!" border="0" alt="thpirateshipff.gif" /> blow my Schooner up to pieces, then I'm like what the hell is going on. Restart load again and found out I try to moor at the wrong island and that Spain don't like me at all there. My mistake to much rum me think... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate-ayant-soif.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rumgone" border="0" alt="pirate-ayant-soif.gif" />

- So reload again look at the map carefully then go to Jamaica then poof. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" /> CTD when trying to enter Jamaica from the world map. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

So as you can see it didn't really go well for me. I uninstall the game and reinstall it with build 14A6 U2 and work well actually and was looking for something not to complex so I can refresh my memory about coding and think gonna work on it instead and let you guys fix a bit more A8 Full once I will be ready again, I will give you guys a hand if I can. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

For some reason the merchants aren't getting updated when you first enter an island. If you stay overnight in the tavern, the merchants have goods to sell and money to buy stuff. This is a problem with every island. Gregor Samsa, the old pirate out by the docks in Oxbay who insults you all the time always has goods, and usually high level ones at that. Just keep talking to him until he offers to show them to you. Wandering merchants have money and goods as well.

You can get considerable money by searching your ship. Go between all the various locations (the ship deck, the hold, the crew quarters) and look in all the chests and piles of stuff. Sell the stuff you find to merchants. If you haven't stayed overnight in the tavern yet, Gregor Samsa has money to buy your stuff.

I've had considerable numbers of CTDs when logging into the sea around an island, either from the dock, from after a boarding, or first entering an island using direct sail. I don't think it's our code doing it directly, but something being passed to the game engine that's not right. It usually happens after "SEA: added ships" in the compile.log file but I've had "SEA: Set tasks" in the log as well. I've looked for the cause, but I can't find it.

Jamaica will always CTD when you first enter it unless you have fixes to a couple of files, FortCommandants.c and one other. Perhaps some kind person can find a link to that info.

I don't understand, Noi. Please make sure you follow the installation instructions at the beginning of this thread completely.
 
Files uploaded as: SJG 7 Zipped 14.8 files 1-15-09 which I believe to be 14.8 compatible.
I re-downloaded and installed 14.8 again then win-merged my files.
I does play O.K. on my magic machine (computer <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ) but I have not played every quest all the way through.
I am still working on that - and I think that any changes will be simple dialog - quest reaction updates.

The main issue I have is that I cannot manually update my skills <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />
Direct Sail (Hooks latest mod) seems to work fine.

I have done the PROGRAM file complete and I "think" I have included most of the recent fixes discussed of late.
RESOURCE has only the INI------Storyline details. (let me know if you need more)

Again please note: The Bartolomue Quest is NOT his latest one and is only there to reserve space.

How did you install it, I can start the game, go to storyline selection, set my character then click start to end up on a black screen with full of error.

Please look <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=12547&view=findpost&p=297596" target="_blank">here</a> for more info.

3) Remove program folder;
4) Remove resource\ini folder;
5) Remove resource\models\locations\decks folder;
6) Install b14_alpha8_full.exe;

9) Copy on top the "SJG 7 Zipped 14.8 files 1-15-09".

Thats all <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> bye, bye,

Thanks giuliootto! I am going to merge SJG's files with my own game version soon.
Then, once I added some more new stuff, I'll put it up on the FTP as Update for Alpha 8.
I'll see if I can sort some of the issues you encountered.

One short note:<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The invason video didn't start (I try to copy it in the resorurce\video\common and then It start);<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->That's strange; the installation process, when performed correctly, should have done that automatically. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
Thanks from me too Giuliootto. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
It <u>always</u> helps to have someone else "test play" the games, and <u>detail</u> how they played it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
I too will look at some of the issues you mentioned to see if I can do anything. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

(NOTE for Pieter: I have found some "silly's" which I have corrected - I hope to upload these late Sunday)
(I am having a problem with the storm scene again in the 14.8 version and I am looking at this with Hook's help - just so you know <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> )
 
Thanks a lot SJG! I probably won't start merging until Sunday anyway. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
