Pre Build 13 Modpack

LOL. I think I might know how that got caused as well. That'll need fixing, won't it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><b>A not-so-update on the progress</b><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
The amount of time I can devote to PotC will be rather limited the coming weeks. I need to finish a project for school and do quite a bit of learning for the tests in a few weeks. This might delay Build 13 quite a bit. I will try to do what I can to release Build 13 as quickly as possible, but unfortunately I need to prioritize schoolwork now. I had hoped to have released Build 13 by now, but no luck. I don't know when the final release will be. I will try to at least get another better-working Beta done this weekend. This might also mean that I'll be less active on the forum. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Ok i now have installed 12.1(full)+Pre build 13+update. My question is i notice the beta13 builds(1+2) on your site Pieter - do i/should i install these also? I ask because the instructions on your site dont mention them in the install instructions? maybe they are just for the key modders to play - rather than playtesters? Sorry if this is a dumb question you've had to answer a zillion times before <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

In terms of the Pre build 13 - wow, i thought 12.1(full) was pretty good but this is taking the game to a whole new level of detail and pirate goodness, an amazing job by all the modders for sure.
 
I recommend you do get Beta 1 instead of the 10 September update. The 10-9 update was bugged. Beta 1 seems to work pretty well. Beta 2 is bugged a bit as well.
 
Somebody please try attached update. This is not an official beta yet, but it does need testing. Warning: DON'T play the tutorial! It's bugged big time! Just make sure you skip the tutorial on the ship.

A lot of things should have been fixed, including the Quick-Equip key, boarding, etc. However, I have done hardly testing at all, so it needs to be checked.

At least i have a working version of POTC thx guys (Pieter).Install all mods updates
<b>To do a full clean install:
1) Install stock game from CDs
2) Install Build Mod 12.1 Full "build12_full.zip"
3) Install Pre Build 13 b1 Full "pre_b13_base.zip"
4) Install Current Update "pre_b13_upd_21-8-06.zip"
5) Run English.bat
6) Install Fix Update "BM13_beta6_update_6_9_2006.zip"</b>

after all that my POTC works fine,no blue screens,no stupid restarts, btw sometimes game instantly exist to windows and sometimes icons are missing or confusing but it's not a big problem.

P.S. Does anyone knows that,the BM13 beta6 update 6/92006 is that the latest version or there's another update?

The latest update is Build 13 Beta 2. However, it appears that Beta 1 works better. Get the Beta from <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.org" target="_blank">my site</a>.
 
Is anybody willing to test the file I attached three posts above? I really need it tested... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Pieter....I missed so much in that week I lost my internet connections that I have not even installed the 2 Beta's and other temp updates I have found since coming back.....

1) Why is the Tutorial all of a sudden "Buggy"

2) If I did download and install everything real fast, I'm not sure what I would be comparing it too anyway....the last version I played was the one were I was testing Hook's boarding code than a new update completely overwrote and crashed my game...since then I have sat and waited for something more "finished"...not even sure if my game will load again or not...I might need a complete uninstall and then a new re-install back a bit
 
1) Pirate_KK made some thorough rewrites to the tutorial, but he also added some new mods of his own. I do want the rewritten and improved tutorial in the game, but I want to keep the new mods out of the game. Unfortunately the tutorial rewrite relies partly on a new mod Pirate_KK made, so that separating the two doesn't work easily. I already got most of it working properly, but I found one pretty gamestopping bug: When playing the tutorial, you can't continue from port to the town, because the gates are closed and stay closed. Pirate_KK will have a look at this bug.

2) It appears that Beta 1 works pretty well, so if you want to play a version, get that one. Beta 2 contains a little mistake of mine that causes pretty major trouble. The file I posted above is a testversion of the unfinished Beta 3. Hopefully Beta 3 will be a truly good version. But until the real Beta 3 is released, Beta 1 is the most playable version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

<b>About the file I posted above:</b>
I tested the file shortly and found a stupid typo that will prevent the store interface from working at all. Please test the file attached to THIS post instead. It has that bug fixed and has Hook's goods reordering added along with Maximus' base for French, German and Spanish language support.
 
[attachmentid=728]
That's my icon problem, maybe i need to re-install english.bat or all these steps?
Secondly, i'll try Beta 2 tomorrow, promise <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
Last thing wanna ask, is there any solution of Multi-tasking problem ? [POTC Readme 1.2. Multi-Tasking (Alt-Tab)]

P.S. BTW look at my excellent sword <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" /> [attachmentid=729] ooops i mean <b>Exellent</b>
 
Pieter...trying to catch up....but somewhere while installing new updates I have lost my game icon....when I click on that it comes up with a path warning.....not sure how to begin, redoing buildsettings.h again for the 937th time since playing POTC.......( I know it is nessessary, but gosh darn billy jumpins.....see Im gonna say a bad word......)

The only way around it that I know of is to play in windowed mode. This allows you to swap into and out of the program without much problem. It's expecially useful if you're doing something where you expect the game to crash, as it does not require a reboot to get out of the program.

I have no problem Alt-Tab switching in and out of POTC as long as I have
full_screen = 0
in the engine.ini file
 
Thx Hook
i played before window mode but it's not for me, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Petros;
I mean Alt-Tab switching in full screen mode.When in full screen mode,game crashes if i try to switch to windows.
 
In that case you take your choice. Either play in windowed mode or give up alt/tab. As far as I know, the problem is hard coded into the game engine and cannot be fixed or worked around.

I don't much like windowed mode myself.

Why? If you set the game resolution to your windows res or greater, it's the same as full screen.
