that's not the primary reason, actually. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
What's the primary reason then? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
it doesn't QUITE belong in the game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
Right. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
We now return you to our thread in progress:

So, can I disable these buildings without hurting anything else? How do I do it? At the very least I'd like to be certain we're talking about the same buildings. For example, I'm fairly sure the fort in Oxbay was there before I added these mods but I don't recall it glowing at night.

No, it won't.
You can change the line (around 290) in BuildSettings.h to this:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->#define ENABLE_BUILDINGSET    0<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
 
Thanks! I'll try that out.

Well, gotta say I wasn't sure. I'm not a save-and-restore kind of gamer so I stumbled around somewhat cluelessly. Skinned a few zombie monkees, bodyguarded, escorted a merchant ship to a distant port, found and lost a ship's carpenter in a barfight. Stumbled across cave complexes and dungeons. But I just wasn't hitting my stride until I settled down and got into the main storyline.

I was really bummed about losing my first officer/ally as it was a fight on a staircase and I just couldn't get past the bodies to defend him. He killed two himself before getting cut down. The fact that bugged me though was a good sign. Means I cared. I really want to build a strong crew up now.

But the big turning point, the moment that hooked me, was wandering into a big sea battle between a British pirate hunting fleet and some cutthroats on the open sea in my tiny barque (which I'd liberated from French custody). Just watching those huge men-o-war from the first person, deck perspective, going at it was amazing. I got in a few shots too and, afterwords, salvaged some floating cargo and survivors but I was really a speck in a much larger fight. Very cinematic and exciting. I'm hooked! Thanks for all the help once again.
 
Glad to hear you're enjoying the game! And just re-assure you again: Disabeling the BuildingSet will have no impact on the gameplay. It just disables your own ability to build buildings as well.
 
two questions:

what exactly do you mean with 'skinned' the zombie monkeys? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

is 'hooked' a pun? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

beleive me, you'll be pounding forts in a 100-gun manowar in no time! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but above all, i'll just keep loving those trafalgar-styled battles with my four manowars against a fleet of 12 and pounding them into the dust. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I am kind of new here but played on all your mods and stuff till build mod 13_full.I have downloaded build mod 14_alpha6 and try to install it and when it those i select new game and the screen is just black.What do I do now??

Can you tell me a step by step guide to how to install it again?
 
See <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods/b14_alpha.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. You can extract <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods/potc_downloads/build14/b14_alpha6_update2.zip" target="_blank">Alpha 6 Update 2</a> afterwards. Ignore Build 14 Alpha 7.
 
You should remove the decks folder BEFORE installing Alpha 6. Please <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9234" target="_blank">enable error logging</a> and show me the contents of compile.log, system.log and the possible error.log when you try to run the game.

Weapons locker? In your captain's cabin. Where depends on the cabin. Just have a walk around and you should find it quickly enough.
