How to play Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman?

Captain Tom · Dec 25, 2007

But you shouldn't be playing build 14 Alpha 8 WIP, unless you can figure out coding and help with the mods <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shrug

It's called WIP for a reason...

Pieter Boelen · Dec 25, 2007

First of all, I do not recommend Alpha 8 WIP 1 as playable version. Best stick to Alpha 6 Update 2 when you want to have a playable game version.
In Alpha 8 WIP 1, you have to select your starting ship options in the Options>Advanced Options menu.

Also: You seem to have skipped one important step in the installation order: You MUST install <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods/potc_downloads/build14/b14_alpha6.zip" target="_blank">Alpha 6</a> before installing Alpha 6 Update 2.

It's called WIP for a reason...</div>Very true. "Alpha" already means that it's not even meant to be a stable game version. A "Beta" version would be something that we would try and make more stable with each version, but an "Alpha" is just an intermediate game version. Now an Alpha Work In Progress (WIP) is even less confirmed stable than an Alpha. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shock

the gunboat is one of my favorite starting ships, actually. my log might show you why. it's in the PotC gameplay and tips area. warning though, it's a big read.

bandyta · Dec 25, 2007

Ok, I have Alpha6 u2, and what i must to do now?

bandyta · Dec 25, 2007

If i write "Endeavour" and start the new game i see black background and i can't do enyting. What i must to do now?

Pieter Boelen · Dec 25, 2007

You are running Build 14 Alpha 6 Update 2? And you wrote "Endeavour" as starting ship option in PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h? That should work. Did the game run before making that change?

bandyta · Dec 26, 2007

Yes, when i write "theBlackPearl" game run ok, but i don't know why...

bandyta · Dec 26, 2007

I see these:

Pieter Boelen · Dec 26, 2007

Please open PROGRAM\SHIPS\ships_init.c and check if the "Endeavour" is actually in there. You can do this with Ctrl+F (Find).
Also: Please <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">enable error logging</a> and show me the compile.log, system.log and possible error.log that are generated in your main game directory after the error occurred.

Can you please check if you have the resource\models\locations\Decks\qdeck folder? If not, reinstall Alpha 6, then install Alpha 6 Update 2 on top again. Perhaps that does any good.

bandyta · Dec 26, 2007

Yes, I have these folder, and inside:
-qdeck.gm
-QDECK_DAY1.COL - GDECK_DAY3.COL
-QDECK_EVENING1.COL - GDECK_EVENING3.COL
-qdeck_ld.gm
-QDECK_MORNING1.COL
-QDECK_NIGHT1.COL
-qdeck_p.ptc

Pieter Boelen · Dec 26, 2007

I have:
- qdeck.gm
- QDECK_DAY1.COL
- QDECK_DAY2.COL
- QDECK_DAY3.COL
- QDECK_EVENING1.COL
- QDECK_EVENING2.COL
- QDECK_EVENING3.COL
- qdeck_l.gm
- qdeck_ld.gm
- QDECK_MORNING1.COL
- QDECK_NIGHT1.COL
- qdeck_p.ptc

It seems you are missing only attached one. Perhaps that makes a difference. If not, I recommend reinstalling Alpha 6 and Alpha 6 Update 2 again. Just re-extract the files on top of your current game version, then run all the .BAT files.

bandyta · Dec 27, 2007

I can play these ship if I buy it in shipyard only

Pieter Boelen · Dec 27, 2007

Do I understand correctly that when you buy the Endeavour from the shipyard, it does work, and when you set it as starting ship, it doesn't? That is quite mystifying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :modding

bandyta · Dec 27, 2007

Yes, it's true. I can show it in movie if You want <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Pieter Boelen · Dec 27, 2007

Never mind. I don't quite understand why it won't work, but I recommend you just get the Endeavour from the shipyard then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Are you replacing one of the start ships or just adding it as a 9<sup>th </sup>selection option?

edit: actually I guess that wouldn't matter anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :facepalm

" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
If it is a ninth selection without adding it in globals.c then you would not be able to select it anyway. ... or is that different in Build 14 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shrug

Pieter Boelen · Dec 27, 2007

Nope; still the same. If you add a ninth selection, it simply won't be there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :no

DartZ · Jan 3, 2008
