Build12 Problem

C

Captn' Vlad

Landlubber
Ahoy everyone!!!I have POTC for quite a while but found out about this wonderful mod just recently and I have some issues to be solved I hope with your help.

When I installed build12 I had a message that it was installed succesfuly and that i need to reinitialize the game before playing,I know that i need to push the "I" button but when i should push it?when i start the game?
Anyway I pushed the button when I was in the main menu of the game(where all the resume game buttons and stuff) so when i pushed it I had a black screen and then the game crushed to the destop with an error that windows said that the program encourted some problems and asked if i want to report that error it's "Engine exe" problem.......plz explain to me how can i play the game nicely without any problems,hjow to solve this "I" button issue.

Thanks in advance.

This is to do with the 'divide the plunder' mod that is included as part of the Build mod. There should be a doc in your PotC directory called 'Docs for Crew Morale - Divide the Plunder.txt' that fully explains it, but this particular part is that there are now two different gold pools. The one on the character screen is your personal wealth (as the captain), and the one you see when buying or selling in a store or shipyard is the wealth the ship as a whole has acquired.

In the Build mod, there are items that affect your stats, so there are two numbers - one that is your base stats and the other that is your stats after all the items' effects are taken into consideration. What you're seeing is not actually 11, it's two 1s next to each other.
 
God you can not beleive how grateful I am!Thanks mate!
I was thinking those are some bugs.....thanks a bunch! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
You can use a previously saved game, Captn' Vlad, just hit the "I" key to reinitialize when you load it and are back into the game and everything should be good.

Another thing you should do is to reset your keyboard mappings to default before you do anything else in the game - everything may be all right, or you might have troubles, so if you reset your keyboard mappings to default, it starts everything on an even keel.

BTW, <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> and welcome aboard! Have an ale! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":beer" border="0" alt="beer2.gif" />
 
I can't load even when i press the "I" button,the game just crushes to desctop with "Engine exe" error.
before i set the keyboard mapping to deafult(I did it in the options right?I did that in the control options I made them to deafult is that what you ment?) the game was loaded but I was without anything,no weapons no money and could not acces any options....so I guess the only thing left to do is start over.

PS:thanks for the welocoming. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Hummm, not sure what might be causing this... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Vlad, try it this way: Start your game. Before you load a saved game, go into the control options and reset them to default. Then hit the escape key to get back to the regular menu where you can load a saved game. Open and load a saved game, and hopefully it will open and then you can hit the "I" key to reinitialize.

If that does not work and you get a crash, please take a look in the PotC game directory to find some logfiles - they will have the file extension ".log" and you can open them with any text editor.

Post what you find here, and hopefully we can track down what's wrong... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
I did everything just like you said but i still got a crash,but I want to point out that if I just load the game without pressing the"I" button it will load the game but I will walk backwards and have nothing on me as well as I can't use my inventory or any other option when pressing F2.
But when I do press the "I" button when it's loading I can see the game for 2 seconds and then the crash occurs.

I did not see any LOG files but I saw an error.text file,should I post what it sais? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Edit:I got another file called "Options" I oppened it with notepad program and there is something written in it but it has no LOG extension
 
Ah, sorry, I `mis-spoke`! <span style='color:red'>error.txt</span> will be what will help solve this...

Also, if you can get into the game by loading a savegame, do that and let the game load, and THEN hit F1 and reset your controls to default - you may need to use your arrow keys to get to the correct key, but it should work... Try that - and then go back to your game and see if you have any control now... THEN hit "I" and it should stabilize...
 
Tried that,when I do what you say the keys are alright but I still have the inventory problem,it's empty plus I have no personal money but it's nothing the problem is when I push the "I" button it still crashes to the desctop.

Have you used any mods before build 12? What mods, if any, are your saved games running?
Upgrading a saved game to build 12 works _only_ if with that save you've been playing build 11. If the save is from a previous build, let alone a different mod or not modded POTC, you will sadly have to start a new game.
 
I used no mods except build12.
I played the game without anything and then installed build12 and coulkdn't load my game.
 
The ONLY old savegames dat be compatible wid Build 12 be Build 11 savegames! Fer dem Build 11 savegames, ye need tew Press de 'I' key tew upgrade dem! FIles from de stock, unmodded game are of no use wid Build 12! <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" />
