Buildsettings not working?

I am using Build 14 Alpha 8.

I have tried to edit my settings using the buildsettings.h but it does not seem to be applying them to the game. For example

bool REAL_CARIBBEAN = true;
// 0: Stock island and town names
// 1: Use proper island and town names

changes to

bool REAL_CARIBBEAN = false;
// 0: Stock island and town names
// 1: Use proper island and town names

has made no difference. I restarted the game and selected new game and it is still using the proper islands instead. It appears to be the same with all of the options.

bool VISIT_DECK = true;
// 0: Stock PotC: When anchoring, you go directly to shore; also you go directly to sea when leaving port or bay.
// 1: When anchoring, you go to your ship's deck. From there you can go to shore in the same way as in the tutorial.
// When leaving land you'll also go to your ship's deck, unless you select 'Sea' command.

changed to

bool VISIT_DECK = false;
// 0: Stock PotC: When anchoring, you go directly to shore; also you go directly to sea when leaving port or bay.
// 1: When anchoring, you go to your ship's deck. From there you can go to shore in the same way as in the tutorial.
// When leaving land you'll also go to your ship's deck, unless you select 'Sea' command.

When i go to the end of the dock and select ship it then takes me to the deck of my ship.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am using notepad to edit the file and yes I am remebering to save and close the file before starting the game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I have also tried using 0 in place of false.
 
Did you start a new game yet? It is better to do it through the advanced options menu (before you load a game mind you)
 
oh there is an advanced option? Ok that seems to have worked. Perhaps someone should remove that msg at the end of the install about editing the .h file to adjust the settings <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
At the end of the Build 13 installation? We can't edit that for Build 14 Alpha 8, can we? It's still valid for Build 13.
Of course the Build 14 final installer will not have it.
You can also manually change your settings in the "options" file in your main game folder.
