can someone please help?

i sucesfully installed build 12 and build 13 full, they were working without problem. I decided to try b14 a6 and followed all the instructions on Pieter's site. But now all i get when i load a new game is a few lines of writing in the top left corner and the screen goes black. i can load the F1 and F2 screens but that is it.

Any advice?

or could someone locate me to this topic elsewhere as i can't seem to find it myself

thanks in advance
 
I seem to have noticed that the decks folder seems to missing from the resource/models/locations folder. that may have something to do with it
 
That's not good. You do need that folder. But it's supposed to be IN Alpha 6. Try to extract Alpha 6 on top again. DON'T run any batch (.BAT) files afterwards.
 
i extracted alpha 6 in my main potc folder and never ran the .bat thing, but no result, the decks folder is still not there <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
That is mystifying. I just checked and the complete DECKS folder is IN the Alpha 6 download. Please check if the files are in your ZIP. What is the filesize of your ZIP-file? It's supposed to be 357 MB.
 
In that case I would recommend you to redownload from <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/potc_downloads/build14/b14_alpha6.zip" target="_blank">this</a> link. I haven't got the slightest idea what happened to the file you downloaded, but this is the file I uploaded myself many months ago and has the correct filesize, so the decks folder must be in there.
 
i downloaded alpha 6 again and the decks folder is there. i started a new game and it has worked fine

thanks very mush for your help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

one more thing: is the new and improved flying dutchman in alpha 7? or will it be in aplha 8?

thanks again
 
hey i was wondring when I use build 14.6 alpha, how can i use the navigation thing (to view the ship/wind speed and where the wind are coming from)
 
There is a Dutchman in Alpha 6, but it's not the new version. The FilmShips mod I made should be readily compatible with Alpha 6, so you should be able to install it on top if you want.
 
sounds cool, where can i get the filmships mod from?

BTW: which version of the black pearl do you meet at khael roa? the original or the updated? or can you choose which version of the ship you meet there?

In Alpha 7 you will meet the new <i>proper</i> Black Pearl instead of the old random black ship.
 
Yeah the new black pearl sounds cool but ive tried installing build 14 alpha 7 about 4 times now and it never works, so i think i'l stick with alpha 6 for now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
here's another bug i've found, every few minutes when my health is full, it suddenly halves as if i have been attacked and it's really annoying, although i have a feeling it's only me who has this problem <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
I never noticed that and I did do quite a bit of playtesting lately. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
well il just start with a lot of money and buy all of the bandages and potions in the shops <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
