Dedicated Bug Reporting Thread BUILD 12

<!--QuoteBegin-Trustworthy+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Trustworthy)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Oh, on an unrelated note, I'm get a crash to desktop whenever I try to swap officers (i.e. in and out of the three active slots) on the water.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I've played around with this a bit and have an update. I only ctd when swapping between officers on the water; when I plug one into a previously empty spot the game continues to run fine.

Strange...
 
Build 12 install finished when i move the buildsettings.h to main folder.

When i try to start a new game everything goes black.

What should i do. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Join the club fellow countryman (Finnish?). Same problem here. Maybe the `Euro-conversion` did not work? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Hi all!

This might not be considered a bug, except for you Screenshot junkies ... you know who you are.

I noticed that the "F12 Key" float function did not work, and had to add back to the console.c file the code:

float mag = 0.4;
if(FindLoadedLocation() == -1) return;
float x,y,z;
GetCharacterPos(pchar, &x, &y, &z);
TeleportCharacterToPos(pchar, x, y+mag, z);
 
I've tried everything that I can think of to get this working with a European version of POTC.

All of the files are localised as I have run the BAT file manually several times and EURO has been set to 1 in BuildSettings.h

Fred_Bob said on another thread that the EXE file is no longer required, I believe that this is incorrect but as I don't have an old copy of the Build with a US EXE file I'm unable to check this.

Can someone please put a copt of the US EXE file onto the FTP so that I can at least try it and see if it works?

Fred Bob done uploaded de US engine.exe file tew de FTP site.

Fred Bob truly weren't aware dat de `non-US` users would be required tew use de US exe file... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Perhaps Nathan kin prolly shed some light on dis, me hopes! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> If'n yer testin' shows dat dis truly be de problem, den mebbe we kin add dis file tew an Update! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
Hmm.

OK, I have a really strange idea. For those for whom it doesn't work, can you install build 11 _first_, and then build 12 on top?
 
Thanks Fred_Bob, unfortunately I was wrong and this hasn't fixed the problem.
But there is a difference between my EXE file and your one, so even though this won't fix this particular problem I would suggest that it gets added to the Build so that everyone is using the same EXE file.


However I believe that the problem is something to do with the PROGRAM directory as I accidently copied my backed up stock copy and overwrote the Build. I could get the new main menu open but as all of the code that I was using was old I couldn't really do very much.
I restored the Build and then tried copying the stock PROGRAM folder over bit by bit, but POTC just crashed until I had nearly all of the folders copied over.
I think that this means that the problem is in the PROGRAM folder but it probably is caused by a number of different files in a number of different directories.


ATM I don't really have much free time so it's unlikely that I'll be able to find the cause of the problem until next weekend.

I recommend that until this is sorted that someone should amend the read me file and the release post so that other European people don't download the mod until we can get it working properly.

I don't have Build 11 anymore and it's been removed from the FTP and I can't find any other place on the net that has got it for download.
 
Open the PA FTP and download B12Temp.exe somewhere.
Execute it and point it to your POTC folder, and click extract. It will extract all program and INI files, and run the delocalizer.
Then you should be able to install build 12 on top.
 
Thanks NK, I've tried it at it doesn't seem to work.

I'll uninstall POTC and try it again on a clean install and let you know if that works tomorrow.
 
Hi people,

I have a problem, the same one which Sirus Darke has, and what i had with Build 11.99e. I see the main menu for split second, nad then it goes to the loading screen very briefly, and then somebody switches the light off. (darkness) I have a US version. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Nathan it works!

Running the build12temp.exe over a full install gets it to work!
This is for when you have US version.
 
I am crashing to desk top every time I try to use the use item button after hitting the enter key I can how ever use potions using the c key.
 
<!--QuoteBegin-NathanKell+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NathanKell)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I have a potential solution for those having trouble with Build 12 (i.e. those who have `non-US` versions of POTC).
I can't test this, because I have only a US version--so this isn't a sure thing.
1. Download the file B12Temp.exe from the FTP.
2. Run it, and point it to your POTC folder. It will run the delocalizer.
3. Follow Fred Bob's excellent instructions to point the Build 12 installer to an empty folder (i.e. change your existing POTC path to c:tempb12 or something)
4. Run the full Build 12 installer and let it install to the temporary folder. Do _NOT_ check "European version"
5. Open that folder, select all, and move all files/folders to your POTC folder. Overwrite all.
6. Open POTC folderprogrambuildsettings.h and set EURO to 1

Try POTC!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I tried this, but still without any luck.

I'll try it again on a clean POTC install when I've got some spare time and see if it works.
 
Where i get the B12temp.exe.

Because that link doesn´t work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
