Oh yeah, when i edit the game (money ect.) it does not come up on the new build mod.

Problem #1 - keyboard mappings. You need to first set the keys to default and THEN change them to what you wish. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

#2 - What did you edit? The file you need to edit is in PROGRAM\ and is called BuildSettings.h - if you edited that, in order for it to become real in the game is if you start a new game.

Hope this helps! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I cant get problem 1 sorted, i reset 2 default, change 2 my liking. But still same problem, F2 does not work.

Also buildsettings.h does not work, when i click on it tells me to searth through the pc or internet.

Don't just click on BuildSettings.h, your computer will not know what to do with it. Do a right click on it, and tell your computer to "Open With" NOTEPAD. That will open it so you can safely edit it.

I am unsure why you are having trouble with the F2 menu. Check your PotC directory to see if you are getting any error.log messages. They will open in Notepad using the same method I described above. Copy whatever the error.log file says here, and I'll see what I can do with it... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

You also have to look in the charater_init within the build. That where I was able to do the most editing. you actully have to change it there and the restart the game for it to take after. Lesson learned with the help of Catalina and Pieter Boelen <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> . I found that the build created a seprerate directory for itself and have all the file mirrored in there. I'm not sure if this is normal, but thats where I found it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" /> Bethesda Softworks/program/charater/ open charater_init with notepad read the code line slowly and you will find it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

But i cant do anything realy without knowing why f2 is not working. but where is the directory?

I have had a similar bug. Dont worry, if you undo what you edited, then the bug should fix itself, or loading a different game always helps. If you dont want to do that, load a different game and then load back, that usually works. NOTE: inverting the keys may not work after this bug

 

[Hu Kwan Do]

I think I know whats wrong, you downloaded the internet installer, not the full installer!

Interface Screens

Editing this line in the init_pc file worked for me:
CI_CreateAndSetControls( "Sailing1Pers", "Interface", CI_GetKeyCode("VK_F2"), 1, true );

Originally it ended 0, false );

Then I reassigned the key in game.

Esc doesn't work in the Build mod. I once tried re-enabeling that functionality, but that caused some other weirdness, so we removed that again.
In PROGRAM\CONTROLS\init_pc.c you can change the controls for your game. Search for "MainMenu" and "Interface". Let's hope that enables you to get into those interfaces.
You need to reset your controls to default afterwards for the changes to take effect.
