<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Pirates,
I don't realy wanna upset anybody with this here post, but what the heck!
Could you please, please fix the game before adding anything new???
It's getting quite bad, main quest not working, side quest not working as
they should and can't be found and the list goes on! I love this game, but
come on pirates! What are we gonna do when you go sailing, Pieter? AOP
is not good enough to abandon POTC! So, please!!!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Well, the build truly has many bugs, and every day I encounter new ones. Of course, I am not complaining about it, quite the contrary, I think it is amazing work and it largely improved stock PotC (although it's more like a new game now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ). But, as with everything, it needs many fixes and upgrades, and perfecting it will take a long time. Now, as I said, the build is a small master piece and it would truly be a shame if it ends like this. I know Pieter is going away for six months and I would like to know if there is anyone who will replace him until he returns. I will help as much as I can. I love PotC and the build and I want it to be better and better.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Pirates!

I am new here and I just want to say thanks to this community and everyone else who worked on improving PotC and making it better. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> once more <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
The problem is that there is, at the moment, hardly anyone to do any fixing. I personally am not very good at fixing bugs at all; I can only fix bugs for which the cause is simple. I just try to do what I can do, which is putting things together what other people have made. I would love to have all the bugs fixed, but with nobody to actually do it, it's not going to happen. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
So there isn't a solution to this problem. We don't have anyone to fix these bugs and improve the game, and when you leave... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
At the moment we have the following modders:
- Maximus: Mods a lot, but has crappy internet and isn't online often
- CouchcaptainCharles: Works on his DirectSail mod
- Hook: Doesn't mod much at the moment
- Pirate_KK: Doesn't mod much at the moment, but will take over modpack compiling from me
- Me: Tries to do what he can

I think that's about it. Please tell me if I forgot anyone.
 
admiral, i have a bug for you if you know how to fix it: there is a bug that when you enter your catain's cabin, there's rarely anything in any of the chests from that point on. it is triggered when the weapons locker and/or the ship chest in your captains cabin is generated. if you get familiar with the code, i, amongst others, would be very happy if you could fix it.

also: take a look at the bug tracker. it's a forum with a list of all the known bugs in the build mod.
 
yes. except that i found out that it isn't the opening of the weapons locker that triggers it, but simply entering your cabin.

IMPORTANT NOTE: i just realised something else about this bug: the weapons locker isn't generated during the tutorial, but the ship chest is. you don't have the bug after the tutorial, so the generating of the weapons locker has to be the bug!
 
i don't think so. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Well, does this bug occur only in Build 14 Alpha?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think so. It doesn't occur in Build 13.
 
I expect that bug has something to do with Pirate_KK's rewrite of the cabin-code for his Free Walk on Ship mod. But I am not sure about that at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

In any case: I think it's a Build 14 Alpha only bug.
 
So this Free Walk on Ship mod has been changed in Build 14 Alpha? Well then, I don't think I can help unless I download Build 14 Alpha of course. I've been thinking about that for a long time now, is it worth it?? (any important new features or improvements?)
 
The Free Walk on Ship mod is new in the Build 14 Alpha version. There are several bugs in the Alpha, but I think it's mostly playable. And there are a lot of new features. See the incomplete feature list at the bottom of <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.org/b14_alpha.htm" target="_blank">this</a> page. In the end it's your choice: Build 13 Update 2 is meant to be the most stable game version. Build 14 Alpha is a testbase for new features. I intend to release one more update for Build 13 before I leave for sea. This update will include all bugfixes for Build 13, along with all Build 14 Alpha features that are confirmed stable and working.
 
I'm looking forward to this update and I'm anxious to play the almost completely fixed game (plus new features) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

BTW, when exactly are you leaving Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
pieter, i have now pin-pointed the problem to the weapons locker. it can't be the ship chest, because you do have the ship chest in the tutorial (but NOT the weapons locker), and because the bug isn't there after the tutorial, the bug can't be caused by the ship chest. therefore, it must be the weapons locker.

Where are you sailing to?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'll be joining the <a href="http://www.aadhoogesteger.nl/cruiseschepen/cruiseschipzuiderdamzee02gr.jpg" target="_blank">MS Zuiderdam</a> in Fort Lauderdale and I'll first sail around the Eastern Caribbean several times and then pass through the Panam Canal to go to Alaska.
BTW: If you want to know more, perhaps we should continue in another thread.
