PotC Build 12 Release Announcement

<!--`QuoteBegin-CatalinaThePirate`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CatalinaThePirate)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The extra textures are available in the B12 download - but are purely optional, they are not important to gameplay - they are cosmetic.  I changed a bunch of the loading screens and textures in some of the rooms to reflect a new map I made up for PotC...  The extra textures replace the reversed map of the REAL Caribbean with my new map.  That's all.[/quote]Don't know nothing, but if you tried to download extra textures with `build11-installer`, it won't work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-Inez` Dias+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Inez Dias)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->My game wants the CD with or without the build - did yours not ?[/quote]

I have russion version. When i added build11 then game doesnt need cd. But now build 12 wants cd.
 
You could try to copy the engine.exe from build 11 or your original game on top of build 12 (no guarantees, though - there were some troubles with different language versions who need the dialog files in different directories. No idea if that applies to the russion version.)
 
I have figured out solution and i know that was build12 bug. Now i reinstalled my russian pirates, then used patch 1.02 and 1.3 from akella. Then installed build 11 and game worked fine. Then installed build12 but after that appears that cd check and wants cd.
 
Thank you for your answers <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
I haven´t played right now, I just got it on Saturday AND I felt like starting a new game of Pirates!, which is always a huge mistake, if you got other (and important) things to do as well.
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> I´m stuck again, I just wanted to get the build 12 installer from the download section, but I get a message I can´t download right now.
I need that installer and I need to dl the build 12 files this weekend, until tomorow night or I´ll have to wait another fortnight to get it.
By the way, what do I do when I´ve donwloaded all the files, copied them on a CD and took that to where my computer with PotC installed is? Do I copy them into the PotC folder and eventually overwrite files that are in there from build 11 or do I copy them anywhere else and run the installer again? I´ve just got no idea, and I´d so much like to enjoy some of the build 12 features.

About your download problem i cant help. You have to wait until someone answers who knows.

Best is, before you run that build12 installer, to change the entry of PotC path in your registry to a special folder. At PA ftp server, there is a file named PotC_Registry_faker.reg if you dont know how to do this by yourself.
After you've done run installer let it install to that special folder.
Later, you can simply copy the entire folder over your PotC.
I think, that answers the question how to take build 12 with you. Put that special folder within build12 files on CD and take them with you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

edit: That path in PotC_Registry_faker.reg is set to "C:program filesBethesda SOftworksPirates of the Caribbean".

edit2: Sorry v_Grimmelshausen, seems i havent got the latest informations.
Mad_Jack has to know that install thingy. <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" />
 
The registry hack is <b>not</b> required. If you want to download the files to a different folder, simply select it during the install.

As far as the download problem, I know Keith has been doing some housekeeping. Hopefully it will be available soon.
 
So, just download and then copy them into the PotC folder? All right, I ought to be able to do that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> Thanks a lot!

Oh, one, or rahter two things concerning the builds, first, I know I can change my name, but is there a limit to the length of both first and last name? Second, the starting year has been changed to 1690 in the build. I´d like to change it to 1650, and I´ve even found a file where the date is defined, someone in the worldmap folder. Is that the one I have to change?
 
Uhh, seems like there´s a slight problem: The installer crashes every time I try to run it. that is, it shows the `blue-to`-black screen, but from there it goes nowhere, I cant, minimize the winow, i can´t regulary shut it but have to use `ALT-CTRL`-DEL and the task manager to close it, getting the message it doesn´t respond.

I don´t have PotC installed right here, but i thought I need not.
 
I would like to thank you for the CVS server as I use linux and the exe does not work properly with Cedega. I dont know if there are any others that know how to run it but its possible <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-Inez` Dias+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Inez Dias)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Cedega? Is that something like CygWin?[/quote]

Hey, just installed build 12 mod. I try to start a new game and it loads, then i get a black screen - nothing elses, just black. if i press "I" i get text comming up saying a bunch of things like it normally would if i pressed "i" with the build mod but i cant seem to get anything but a black screena nd this text. Any ideas?
 
Arrr, clueless! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Long time no see, matey! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

Thar be a special procedure fer installing Build 12 fer de Euro users, but fer some reason Fred Bob cain't find it at de moment! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> It involves basically installing Build 12 on top o' Build 11 and few udder minor but critical steps! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Why don't you try going to the main PA! site and downloading the Build 12 full installation? Just extract it on top of your PotC installation, run the RunMe.bat in the installation directory and you should be all set.
 
Done that, and so far, it works fine. If I installed build 12 over b11, and ran the runme.bat on b11 already, is it necessary to do so again? Loading screens and voices do work with me after I ran the runme and they still do. BTW, what are the two functions "Build12" and Build12 update" about? They´re in some directory after running the installer.
